'Huxley (Live Session)' by La Vida Bohème

Here's a live version of the song Huxley by La Vida Bohème I just found on the internet. It seems like a documentary-type live recording session judging by the video description. Oh yeah, and the fancy editing. An entire broadcast of this wouldn't even be so bad. The band is getting ready to play a couple of gigs in New York City this next month. Their album Nuestra is already available for download.

La Vida Bohème to Release 'Nuestra' in the U.S.

I don't like to brag - but I'm very well gonna because this band otherwise known as La Vida Bohème seems to be quickly aiming for deserving heights. I'll remind you their Nuestra album was released as a free download for the masses around this time last year and was an instant hit on my playlist with their spanish post-punk sounds. Just how much of a hit? They earned both Top Artist and Top Album in my 'Best Of 2010' year-end countdown and also earned a #1 hit with one of the album cuts, El Zar, which spent 4 straight weeks at the top of the chart. (More 2010 recaps here.)

The band was recently featured in Twitter's 5th anniversary video alongside Hillary Clinton, Snoop Dogg and Serena Williams and is now ready to capture more international musical audiences (they are originally from Venezuela) with the U.S. release of their debut album both on digital (May 3rd on iTunes) and physical (May 10th) formats. Needless to say, you better grab a copy! Here's the press release from Nacional Records:

Nacional Records is proud to announce the May 3rd iTunes (May 10th CD) release of La Vida Boheme’s U.S. debut album ‘Nuestra.’ The group is a dance rock act that formed on the fierce streets of Caracas, Venezuela, only three years ago. La Vida Boheme will perform their first U.S. show on July 6th at the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) in New York City.

La Vida Boheme’s debut album, ‘Nuestra,’ owes as much to influences like LCD Soundsystem and The Clash as it does to Mercedes Sosa and Mano Negra. Early in their career, the group won a “battle of the bands” contest and began to plug themselves into the local dive bar circuit. A devoted following quickly formed as thousands of fans were coming out to shows to sing along to songs that weren’t released or even recorded properly. Soon radio stations were calling the band demanding a single from a record that had not been finished.

An underground swell of support was developing with the band’s fanbase calling itself “La Resistance” - quite apropos in the age of Hugo Chavez. La Vida Boheme leads a new movement of Venezuelan youth who despite government regulations and rampant violence, want music and the arts in their lives.

TMJ's Best of 2010!

TOP ARTIST	TOP SONG	TOP ALBUM
La Vida Bohème	Lights	Nuestra
This indie alternative band from Venezuela first appeared with Radio Capital and its catchy, The-Ramones-inspired chant "Gabba Gabba Hey!" in early March. All 12 tracks from their debut album made the chart, achieving a nearly-complete domination of the Top 10 just one month later. El Zar became their only #1 song (4 weeks at the top) but with 340 chart appearances since their debut La Vida Bohème rules this year's top artists list. lavidaboheme.com	The much-anticipated "comeback" song from one of my favorite bands, Interpol debuted at #87 in early May. Two weeks later it was already at the Top 10 and reached #1 during its 7th week on the chart. It may have reigned for just one week, but its incredible 20 weeks inside the Top 10 (May 22nd through November 6th) gave it enough points to comfortably stay ahead of the rest and become top song of the year. interpolnyc.com	The 12-track debut from this year's top artist La Vida Bohème definitely left a mark in 2010. An album that you can listen to from start to finish without skipping one single song and almost doubled its closest competitor in chart performance is worthy enough for album of the year, and most likely a respectable position for 2011. Also great? It was a free download! Top played tracks: El Zar, Calle Barcelona, Nicaragua, Flamingo, Danz! lavidaboheme.com
