Public Service Broadcasting: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
These guys don t speak or sing a word, but each song sends a clear message. Public Service Broadcasting is a duo featuring the nerdy J. Willgoose, Esq. on guitar, banjo and electronics and Wrigglesworth on drums. The source material for the music is British publicservice films from roughly the 1940s through the 1960s. The band projects carefully crafted films from those publicservice messages that sync to the music, liberally using footage and voices from the past as a way of looking at the present. Public Service Broadcasting puts it all together in a powerful way it s sometimes melancholy but mostly good fun. It s entertainment as education for the head and feet alike. In this Tiny Desk Concert, we project a few of those films in the bright daylight of our office. It frankly works better in a dark club, but the music made in this small setting remains huge and powerful.
