Watch New Pornographers’ Brill Building Concert And Funny Or Die’s Sketch With A.C. Newman
The New Pornographers have been all about the Brill Building this year. They named their new album Brill Bruisers, and they recently performed in the iconic New York City structure (you can see photos of that performance here). Now you can watch that entire concert via NPR’s Front Row series. In addition to that footage, A.C. Newman joined up with Funny Or Die to film a sketch (written by Jake Fogelnest) that also takes place in the Brill. It follows Newman as he enters the building, which has been completely stripped of any of its musical history, and auditions for two talent agents (Julie Klausner and Anthony Atamanuik) who seem to be stuck in the ’60s. It’s funny and very bizarre. Watch it below.
