Fader has just released a video of Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks covering the Taylor Swift hit “Blank Space” on a Portland Kid’s variety show called “You Who.”
Let’s start with the fact that this is at a kid’s variety show. They’re not even in middle school and they can say that they danced beneath bubbles and with balloons as their parents nodded along to a faithful cover of TSwift with a stronger edge and a bit of distortion.
While this cover keeps to their usual and well seasoned sound, the atypical crowd adds a bit more to their performance.
Stephen Malkmus and The Jicks are self described as “punk like a skunk” and they own their unique sound. Since 2001, with the group’s first album Stephen Malkmus, they’ve released five albums. The most recent being Wig Out at Jagbags.
To read more on what Malkmus is up to now and in the future, especially with The Jicks, stay tuned to mxdwn.
