KCRW WELCOMES CHROMEO



Chromeo has a new record coming out and the boys stopped off in Hollywood over the weekend to give us a taste. Not only did they play a huge show at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday, but they also hit up the studios at KCRW for Morning Becomes Eclectic.

I freaking love these sessions on KCRW! It's such a cool way to get a little behind the scenes vibe of the band.

If you missed it, check it out now!

Frontman James Mercer announced that in between tours with Broken Bells, He is working on tracks for his other band, The Shins, which has been on hiatus. He told host Jason Bentley that a studio is being set up now and that the next thing he'll probably release is a Shins record.

Also, the band debuted a version of "Insane Lullaby" from Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse's other project "Dark Night of the Soul." It's the first time Broken Bells has played the track live on the radio, though they have worked it into some of their live shows.
