Back in June, we announced that Canadian dance punk duo Death From Above 1979 were set to perform at Third Man Records’ famous Blue Room on July 16, returning after a Marathon Music Works outing last fall.

Braid w/ Beach Slang, Free Throw Exit/In; Nashville, TN August 7, 2015 Review by Philip Obenschain (@pobenschain). Nostalgia can be a difficult thing to navigate.
