Shame: Tiny Desk ( Home) Concert

The Tiny Desk is working from home for the foreseeable future. Introducing NPR Music s Tiny Desk (home) concerts, bringing you performances from across the country and the world. It s the same spirit strippeddown sets, an intimate setting just a different space. Bob Boilen, July 30, 2021 The first time I saw shame singer Charlie Steen, he was stripped down to nothing but his Racing Green brand underwear (which he had wedged up his behind), as guitar, bass and drums punctuated his emphatic vocals. In this Tiny Desk (home) concert, we find Charlie in a full suit, tie and hat, sitting in a living room atmosphere backed not only by the rest of shame (also seated), but a compendium of violins, horns and more. All the songs here are from the band s 2021 album, Drunk Tank Pink. It s the sound of this South London postpunk band challenging not only their listeners, but themselves. What a thrill.
