Monsters of Folk cover KISS’s “Detroit Rock City”

YouTube Preview Image

Holy fucklobsters, in full make-up no less.  I thought Pearl Jam’s cover was pretty awesome, but this may take the cake.  For those of you wondering who Monsters of Folk are, the group comprises the very classy M. Ward, Jim James, Connor Oberst and Mike Mogis.

This is from the Monsters of Folk show in Louisville on Halloween and dang I am jealous of everyone in attendance.  I mean, they dressed up like KISS for crying out loud.  [via]

Monsters of Folk perform “Say Please” for Conan

I felt like the Monsters of Folk project was going to be either a curious failure (something akin to the Travelling Wilbury’s) or something so beautiful you’re left wondering why you can’t have it permanently. 

Turns out Jim James, M. Ward, Conor Oberst, and Mike Mogis are the latter.  Jeez, this is good. [via]
