official video clip for RATATAT‘s Falcon Jab from the album LP3
video by E.Vax

Ratatat's live performance was a slap in the face. The duo from New-York was true to their reputation and to their album… Epic, electric, and a bit psychedelic! Mike Stroud and Evan Mast are true hardcore musicians that transported the audience to higher grounds thanks to perfect mastery of their instruments and the use of mind-blowing background visuals. The two rockers don't fake their stage antics, they truly live their music: Stroud is one with his guitar – must see his limbo-esque moves, while Mast floats through the smoke-filled stage to tweak all his instruments and occasionnally beat on his drum, like a conductor. I think you get our point: powerful electro/rock. Respect.

Years, many years later I was doing an interview with a really famous rock star We were talking about his fave videos and he confessed that he always thought that the guy in the white jacket is Paul Simon. Of course this has nothing to do with the new Ratatat video, but this was the first thing what came to my mind when I started to watch it. This is a huge APC fave ATM girlz n boyz, you will like it too! Dope!
