Portishead on Jimmy Fallon - "Chase the Tear"



Hard to believe this iconic band hasn't been on US network tv in 13 years. I know many of you out there may not get their music or their sound especially after their last album "Third" which was a departure for them from their groundbreaking first album "Dummy" and their second which is personally one of my favorite albums of all time "Portishead". Listen to that album and you will be amazed. They don't like labels but back in 1994-1998 they were the kings of Trip Hop. They have sort of moved on from that genre and kinda hard to place them now but Beth Gibbons is still haunting in her lyrics and singing and the extraordinary musicianship of Geoff Barrow and Adrian Utley is still top notch.
