[Watch] Phoenix Performs "Entertainment" at the Palace of Versailles

Despite its jaw-dropping beauty, the Palace of Versailles in Paris is a grandiose, egotistical reminder of absolute monarchy. Phoenix, however, have taken to the storied location to evoke the simple beauties of music rather than flaunt its magnificence.

As part of La Blogotheque’s "Take Away Show" the Parisian band performed an acoustic version of "Entertainment," the lead single from their new album Bankrupt!. With sweeping aerial shots and a bright, sun-soaked backdrop, the performance is quite stunning. Watch it below.

Next week, La Blogotheque will release another video of Phoenix performing at Versailles. Ironically, it will be of the song "Bourgeois." Check back next week for more.

[Watch] YADi - "Creatures" (Official Video)

We've mentioned the uber talented YADi a few times here on SKOA, most recently was via a video for her track "The Blow". She's now unveiled a brand new single, "Creatures", and you can watch the official video below. Capturing a retro vibe, the clip was filmed on a super eight camera and takes inspiration from one of YADi’s favourite films, The Colour of Pomegranates. I for one am very excited to see what else this promising young lady has to offer in the rest of 2013. 

You can pick up the single over here.

[Listen] FIDLAR - "Red Right Hand" (Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds Cover)

Cast your mind back to 1994, for me I was just starting School, learning how to colour in, maybe tie my own shoes too via some Rabbit Ears rhyme. Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds released "Red Right Hand" in 1994 though, and since then there have been numerous covers. Back in 2009, Arctic Monkeys added it to their live set, then released it as a B-Side to "Crying Lighting", remember that? Today though we get another take on the track from our favourite new LA band, FIDLAR. Check out the slackers interpretation below. Perfect for a morning break from whatever it is your supposed to be doing right now.

In case you missed it too, check out their brilliant Nick Offerman featuring video for "Cocaine" over here.
