Dalai Llama (live)This year Parachute for Gordo were honoured to be invited to play the prestigious Arctangent festival. Of course with 2020 being what it is, live dates were cancelled across the industry and this has been a year without live music for most of us, artists and audience alike. Arctangent are carrying on valiantly with a virtual festival and we are delighted to be a part of it, contributing a ‘live’ set for the Arctangent TV event for the weekend of 21st August 2020. To coincide with this, Parachute for Gordo are proud to present What Passes For Live These Days as a standalone ‘live’ album to commemorate and remember this strange and lonely year. This live recording was captured during the height of the lockdown period in May with the band split between Berlin and Aldershot, playing tracks from this year’s LP Best Understood for Children and Animals on Beth Shalom Records. As most musicians were searching to finding a way, any way, to feel like a band and to perform again, PFG rigged up a way to record live takes across Europe. From to borrowing cheap cymbals and guitar pedals to recording into an iPad in the garden, the experience of recording in this limited, disconnected way gave the band hope that they can find a way to create in this new world we find ourselves in. There is still the unspoken communication inside the music, the dynamic push and pull that makes Parachute for Gordo such an unmissable live band. What Passes For Live These Days attempts to capture the impossible, the magic, group dynamic, and the DIY ethos of the “New Live”. This will be Beth Shalom 100th release and label head Joe Booley says “Working with PFG was something I’d wanted to do from very early in the label’s journey, and now a few releases deep with the band I couldn’t be happier to have them be our 100th release. The mutual support we have for one another has taken us both around the UK and Europe, and Whatever Passes For Live These Days is the perfect way to come out of this period when most would remain idle.”
