Muzz Performs ‘Tiny Desk (Home) Concert’

Muzz performed for NPR Music’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert. The supergroup of Paul Banks, Josh Kaufman and Matt Barrick delivered songs from their 2020 self-titled debut album.

Filmed, recorded and mixed by D. James Goodwin for NPR Music, Muzz’s Tiny Desk set is “one of the two proper Muzz performances that exist,” as per a press release. For the occasion, the trio performed four songs off Muzz: “Bad Feeling,’ “Knuckleduster,” “Trinidad” and “Summer Love.”

Muzz multi-instrumentalist Josh Kaufman detailed the atmosphere around the session for NPR Music. Read Kaufman’s words below:

At the very end of a long couple days of rehearsal and taping we, very late at night, Paul jet lagged and the rest plain exhausted, stayed awake a little longer to try a campfire style strum along to some of the songs from our new LP. The result here is our Tiny Desk. It means A LOT to us and we’re totally honored to have Muzz be a part of this now legendary series. We also want to acknowledge the fact that it’s a privilege for us to even be able to convene in person right now and were very happy that we could use that opportunity to share these stripped down, very human/intimate portraits with y’all.
