Fans of the British trip-hop band “Portishead” Have been waiting for them to release a third album for, oh, 10 years or so, ever since 1997’s incredible self-titled album, which is actually their SECOND album, the first being 1994’s “Dummy”. I have all three of their official records, including the live concert at Roseland Hall in New York City in 1998. Being a big fan of theirs, it’s killed me to think that they might have broken up, and are now doing, well, things other than making Portishead music. Their last public appearance was in 2005 at the Tsunami Benefit Concert in Bristol, and now THIS — an impromptu, surprise gathering of the band’s three primary members at Bristol’s Mr Wolfs!
Word is that Portishead will finally release a third album later this year. One can only hope, but for now here’s Beth and company doing a live, acoustic version of “Wandering Star”. Beth’s voice is still frakkin’ incredible, to be sure.
