“I guess you just don’t enjoy me anymore,” Amazing Baby frontman Will Roan sings in his group’s cover of “Black and White,” a catchy tune by 1980s power-pop group the dBs. He couldn’t be more wrong.
Performed at SPIN’s tent backstage at Lollapalooza, this excellent cover is all about Roan’s cocky sneer, which gives the self-pitying tune an aggressive kick.
The video is the latest in our series of Lollapalooza covers. Check out Kevin Devine’s take on the Smiths’ “There Is a Light Than Never Goes Out” here, and thenewno2’s performance of Thom Yorke’s “Black Swan” here.
