Yo La Tengo have been doing a Hanukkah Residency at New York’s Bowery Ballroom. Last night time, they introduced out a bunch of Ramones covers, together with a gap instrumental of “Blitzkrieg Bop” and encore performances of “Rockaway Beach,” “I Can’t Make It On Time,” “Sheena Is A Punk Rocker,” “Loudmouth,” and “I Wanna Be Sedated.” The encores even featured visitor appearances from Marky Ramone and Tom Kenny, who voices SpongeBob.
Also through the set, Yo La Tengo coated the Velvet Underground’s “I Found A Reason,” Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg’s “Je t’aime… moi non plus,” the Shams’ “Ice Tea,” and the Ronettes’ “Be My Baby.” Watch some fan-shot footage of the night time beneath.
