Nashville electro rock duo Cherub blew the roof off of Bonnaroo over the weekend, and have just generally been riding high since the recent major label release of their new album, Year of the Caprese.

We already posted some thoughts and photos from Diarrhea Planet‘s epic Bonnaroo debut over the weekend, but, now you can see the rowdy, rocked out, and rambunctious performance for yourself in its entirety, thanks to YouTube user TompDogg.
