The concertsrock YouTube channel has uploaded video of THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘s April 22 performance at Earthday Birthday 2023 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds in Orlando, Florida. Check out the clips below.
Last November, THE PRETTY RECKLESS released a new collection of music, “Other Worlds”, via Fearless Records. The effort saw the group delivering its first proper acoustic recordings, unexpected covers and other reimaginings.
THE PRETTY RECKLESS dressed down this favorite from the band’s latest album, “Death By Rock And Roll”, to its bare essence with a stirring and striking acoustic performance.
“Death By Rock And Roll” was made available in February 2021 via Fearless Records in the U.S. and Century Media Records in the rest of the world.
Upon release, “Death By Rock And Roll” topped multiple sales charts — including Billboard‘s Top Albums, Rock, Hard Music, and Digital charts. The record also yielded three back-to-back No. 1 singles — “Death By Rock And Roll”, “And So It Went” (featuring Tom Morello of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE) and “Only Love Can Save Me Now” (featuring Kim Thayil and Matt Cameron of SOUNDGARDEN). The band has tallied seven No. 1 singles at the rock format throughout its career.
“Death By Rock And Roll” was THE PRETTY RECKLESS‘s first album to be made without longtime producer Kato Khandwala, who died in April 2018 from injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
THE PRETTY RECKLESS formed in 2009 and consists of singer Taylor Momsen, guitarist Ben Phillips, bassist Mark Damon and drummer Jamie Perkins.
In 2021, Momsen — who rose to fame portraying the character of edgy little sister Jenny Humphrey on The CW‘s “Gossip Girl” — described “Death By Rock And Roll” in an interview with ABC Audio as a “battle cry for life and for hope.”
“I think that that’s something that we can all use a little bit more of, especially right now,” she said. “We could always use a little more hope, and we could always use a little more rock and roll.”
