From the session on April 15, 2014, solo acoustic versions of 'Waiting For You' and 'Bette Davis Eyes'

"Minor Alps" sans Juliana != Minor Alps. Hmmph. Still great though.

Also, from the same session see Always Love.

London, Apr 25/27 - Reviews, Videos

Minor Alps (Matthew Caws & Julianna Hatfield) performing Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes" live at The Shacklewell Arms, London on April 25th, 2014. All rights reserved to the artist. No copyright infringement intended.

Not sure I'm ever going to understand why anyone chooses not to live in the moment by filming an entire show, particularly with a camera in the face of a performer, but hey. You can see more videos from Friday's Shacklewell Arms show on the YouTube.

There are a couple of online reviews from the London shows:

Ben Walsh, with a lukewarm response for The Independent:

The alt-rock fortysomething duo major in mellow (perhaps too mellow) melodies and their soft (sometimes twee) sound recalls She & Him, George Harrison and Teenage Fanclub. The American pair keep their lyrics and sentiments simple and habitually sing in unison. Mostly their delicate vocals work nimbly in harmony but sometimes you'd wish one of them would wrestle control.

A more enthusiastic article on Sunday's show at The Islington by Joe Hoffman for The Upcoming:

Minor Alps, a duo consisting of Juliana Hatfield and Matthew Caws, perform music reminiscent of Bob Dylan, Simon and Garfunkel, and even Neil Young, with a twist of country and rock. The band had great chemistry while performing onstage at The Islington, with wonderful vocal harmonies and acoustic guitar, in front of a small, peaceful crowd. Throw in a little bit of Korg synth and you get some Bon Iver-esque influence that shows a more creative and artistic side to Minor Alps.

Video - Waiting For You (Promo)

Le clip de "Waiting For You" est écrit et réalisé par Emilie et Sarah Barbault avec Julie Gayet et Philippe Rebbot.

Just when we thought the Minor Alps promotional period was over, this appears out of the blue.

The video stars French actors Julie Gayet and Philippe Rebbot.

It might get some attention outside of the julianadasurf fanbase, particularly in France, where Julie Gayet has been in the news a bit recently.

Gorgeous video.

UPDATE: DIY says Minor Alps are "set to play their first European shows this spring". So there's that too.

Minor Alps Tour - Video Roundup

Eleventy thousand smartphone owners have attended the Minor Alps tour this month. Some of them used these devices to watch large portions of the shows through a screen with their arms held up.

So many in fact that it's been hard to keep up.

A roundup is therefore required commencing with more from the Los Angeles shows. See earlier posts here for links for the first few gigs.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted or shared these links here or elsewhere on the internet. In particular thanks to liveontomorrow reader Carlos for submitting dozens of recent links that appear here, and also to Andrew who has been keeping us all up to date with news for many years chiefly via the This Is The Sound group. If you're a member there, these links have already been posted on that group too. It is really appreciated guys.

Thanks too to the uploaders, obvs.

With one exception, these are single camera YouTube efforts.
