Bleachers releases ‘Live at Electric Lady’ performances

Bleachers on the Room features Bruce Springsteen

Bleachers have released live versions of their two new songs — “Chinatown” featuring Bruce Springsteen and “45” — live from the room of Electric Lady Studios in New York City. Dubbed, Bleachers on the Roof – Live at Electric Lady, the performances are directed by Nick Robespierre with Springsteen featured on “Chinatown.”

“I go to electric lady every day to work. I sit on the roof for hours and hours. Probably spent more time on that roof this year than my bed,” says Bleachers’ Jack Antonoff. “Kept imagining the band up there on all the different levels playing on 8th Street with everything patched into the console of Studio D. [It] was the first time we played these songs and the first time we played together since the pandemic. [It] was like a dream.”

Last month Bleachers released two new tracks giving fans a sneak peek of new music off the forthcoming album which is set for release in 2021. The first taste of new music, “Chinatown” featuring Bruce Springsteen, along with the b-side track “45” are both out now, available both digitally and on 7” vinyl. Additionally the music video for “Chinatown,” directed by Carlotta Kohl, is available now.

Antonoff also launched a conversation series a few weeks ago. Part 1 features Ezra Koenig and Part 2 features Gerard Way. Antonoff, who is a 4x Grammy winner, was just nominated for two additional Grammys; for Producer of the Year, non-classical and for Album of the Year for his work on Taylor Swift’s Folklore.

Bleachers third LP will be released in 2021.
