Recently The Civil Wars took to the streets of London to deliver a wonderful cover Portishead’s “Sour Times” in an alley somewhere.Watch it here:
The Civil Wars are are the enigmatic duo comprised of California-to-Nashville transplant Joy Williams and her Alabaman partner, John Paul White. They are a huge DIY success in the USA having independently sold over 215,000 copies of the ‘Barton Hollow’ album already through touring and word of mouth. The album reached Number 1 on the iTunes chart in the US to widespread critical acclaim for their music and live shows.
Following a sell-out Union Chapel performance in September last year, the band return to the UK for a full tour in March 2012. With 8 of their 10 UK dates, including London’s Shepherds Bush Empire, already sold out and their album hitting the top 10 on the iTunes chart following their performance on BBC breakfast yesterday it’s going to be an amazing trip for the pair!
