London experimental pop outfit the Chap make it to Berlin for a spot of gigging at Festsaal.

Famous not only for a stage show that often features exploding violins and cellos, and how we’ve all so very often wanted to blow up a cello, but also a very decent back catalogue of five albums going back to 2003. The newest one from them, Well Done Europe, came out last May and got a very reasonable review from Pitchfork, gaining a 7.7 (but they also thought the appalling new album from Arcade Fire was worth 8.6, they’re very bad recommenders).

A single from them, clip inclusive:
