Fontaines D.C. — KEXP, 2022

Filmed live on May 14, 2022 in the KEXP radio studio in Seattle, this Full Performance captures Fontaines D.C. shortly after the release of their third album, Skinty Fia. Fronted by Grian Chatten’s brooding vocals, the Dublin post-punk band delivers four songs — Nabokov, Big Shot, How Cold Love Is and Roman Holiday — in the stripped-back, head-on format that made KEXP sessions famous. Thomas Coll’s taut drumming, the interlocking guitars of Conor Curley and Carlos O’Connell and Conor Deegan III’s bass build that distinctly Irish electric melancholy, poised between romantic gloom and raw energy. Shot without an audience and recorded direct, this live concert shows one of the most compelling rock bands of its generation at a peak of intensity. A reference session to discover the Fontaines D.C. live experience in 2022, in flawless sound and picture courtesy of KEXP. Filmed in Seattle without an audience, this full performance stands among the essential Fontaines D.C. live videos to watch online.
