Oct 19, 2015 EL VY By Christopher Roberts

Last night at the Treasure Island Music Festival in San Francisco The National brought up Lauren Mayberry, frontwoman for Scottish electro-pop trio CHVRCHES, to duet on “I Need My Girl,” a song from The National’s Trouble Will Find Me. Of course a fan captured video of the performance, which you can watch below.

Also on Friday night The National performed an intimate benefit show at Los Angeles’ The Troubadour for Cooperative Education. At the show they performed a brand new song entitled “Roman Candle” and of course a fan was on hand to capture video of that too and you can watch that below as well.

CHVRCHES’ much-anticipated second album, Every Open Eye, was released late last month via Glassnote. Don’t forget that CHVRCHES are on the cover of our brand new print issue. There’s an in-depth 8-page 5,600-word feature on the band in the issue. Below are CHVRCHES’ upcoming tour dates.

The National’s frontman Matt Berninger has teamed up with former Menomena member Brent Knopf (who also records as Ramona Falls) for the new project EL VY. The duo will be releasing their debut album as EL VY, Return to the Moon, on October 30 via 4AD. Below are EL VY’s upcoming tour dates.
