"Dangerous" by Olivia Krash

 


Moscow, Russia DIY musician Olivia Krash performs a live cover of "Dangerous," the 2013 paranoid single from Brooklyn, New York electronic glitch pop artists Big Data.

The concert was held at a music venue called Tesla4000.

Seems like a nice place.

It would be a real shame if the owner of said venue's net worth tanked dramatically after he unapologetically threw up Nazi hand gestures at a presidential inauguration event.

A real shame.

Шучу.  Он может есть дерьмо и умереть.

"Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)" by Nite Wave

 


Seattle, Washington throwback band Nite Wave cover "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream) ," a 1983 new wave single from Liverpool, UK group The Icicle Works.

Immediately after this video was shot, the band members were featured in a commercial for Tide Plus Ultra Oxi laundry detergent. Probably.  I can't back that up.

As a side note, it's really great to see that Lou Diamond Phillips is getting back out there.

"I Like Me Better" by Romy Wave

"Crucify" by Whorticulture

 


Denver, Colorado darkwave band Whorticulture go goth-industrial on their remake of "Crucify," a 1992 chamber pop single from Newton, North Carolina mezzo-soprano Tori Amos.

Whorticulture, of course, is the science of growing flowers, trees, or shrubs.... only with way, WAY more rakes and hoes.

For another Tori cover, Tapping the Vein's version of "Cornflake Girl" can be found here.

For a cover by Tori, her version of "I Don't Like Mondays" can be found here.
