Chuck D on stage with Portishead @ ATP

Portishead completed their NYC & NJ adventure with a 2nd show at Hammerstein Ballroom last night (10/5), and an appearance on Fallon where they performed two songs. On air they played “Chase The Tear” which they first released in 2009 to help raise money for Amnesty International. Jimmy pointed out that you can get a new release of that single exclusively at the XL Records table at the ~~Brooklyn Flea~~ Brooklyn Flea’s Independent Label Market this weekend. They also played 1994 song “Mysterons” at Fallon as a web exclusive. And much to the chagrin of the groaning tourists who were trapped in their seats at the show’s taping yesterday, the band actually played “Mysterons” in full twice because apparently something went wrong the first time around. You can watch the version they kept, and what aired on TV, below.

Also in this post is a set of pictures (including the setlist) from Portishead’s Sunday set at ATP I’ll Be Your Mirror in Asbury Park. As mentioned in the post of pictures from their Saturday show, Chuck D joined the band on stage during “Machine Gun” on Sunday. As not mentioned, Simeon from Silver Apples joined them on “We Carry On” to help close the show. Chuck D video HERE. Simeon video below.

Silver Apples plays Public Assembly in Brooklyn TONIGHT (10/6).

Portishead associate Anika plays Glasslands tonight.

Portishead’s Adrian Utley visited Criterion Cinema while in town, and is involved in a show happening in NYC on 10/29.
