Take Away Shows

I've always been a fan of Take Away Shows. What they do is grab bands and make them perform in unconventional places such as the streets, people's apartments, elevators, etc. The performances aren't planned, they are mostly just winged by the bands. Take Away shows has been around since 2006 and they have a pretty amazing roster of bands such as Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, The Shins, R.E.M, etc.

My favourite performance was that of The Shins. Their performances were beautifully shot and spontaneous and you could tell that The Shins were really into it. Here's the link, you should watch it.
