Fontaines D.C. Live on KCRW with Chilli Jesson (ex-Palma Violets) On Bass

 

Ireland's Fontaines D.C. just finished a U.S. tour opening up for Arctic Monkeys.

Pleasantly surprised to see they added Chilli Jesson, formerly of Palma Violets, on bass to their touring band (he also provides vocals).

The band stopped by KCRW and played a few songs:

0:00-4:28 Nabokov 4:29-8:44 Roman Holiday 8:45-13:22 Big Shot 13:23-17:34 Jackie Down the Line 17:35-22:21 I Love You

Fontaines D.C. lead singer Grian Chatten also released a mellow solo album this year that we considered one of the year's best releases.
