Yo La Tengo Announces Livestream Concerts & Releases EP

Yo La Tengo will perform a pair of concerts that will be livestreamed on Saturday, July 18 at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT and Sunday, July 19 at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT via MoonChorus to benefit the Brennan Center For Justice. The livestreams come in celebration of We Have Amnesia Sometimes, an EP compiling five tracks released on the trio’s brand-new Bandcamp page this week.

On Monday, Yo La Tengo launched their Bandcamp page with the release of “James and Ira demonstrate mysticism and some confusion holds (Monday).” The band has followed with a new studio jam each day and all five are featured on We Have Amnesia Sometimes, which will be released on vinyl this fall.

Brooklyn Vegan notes this weekend’s We Have Amnesia Live livestreams will be “unique 30-45 minute performances of music generated in the ‘formless’ style of the Amnesia recordings.” Stream We Have Amnesia Sometimes below:
