From the website:
Every week, we invite an artist or a band to play in the streets, in a bar, a park, or even in a flat or in an elevator, and we film the whole session. Of course, what makes the beauty of it is all the little incidents, hesitations, and crazy stuff happening unexpectingly. Besides, we do not edit the videos so they look perfectly flawless, instead we keep the raw sound of the surroundings. Our goal is to try and capture instants, film the music just like it happens, without preparation, without tricks. Spontaneity is the keyword.
Some of the notable appearances have been from Beirut, Sufjan Stevens, Jose Gonzales, Fleet Foxes, The Shins... whoever picks them has fine taste.
Here's the website
and here's their YouTube channel

Wonderful wonderful wonderful. In a parallel dimension, I came up with this idea first.
It's pretty much the best thing ever. Would be interesting to do something similar for Hobart's music scene.
Last night, I found out about the Burn to Shine DVD series (thanks, indie king Paul Chew) which is this series of DVDs put together by some filmmaker and the drummer from fugazi. They find a house that is soon to be demolished and then have a member of a local band curate an event in this house featuring local bands. They film the lot, including the demolition of the house. Nick wants to do it down here. Pretty cool. Visit their myspace: http://www.myspace.com/burntoshinedvd
That's pretty cool. I watched some of the live songs on youtube. Kinda reminded me of the Winter Palace...
