watch Emma Ruth Rundle cover Kate Bush w/ mems of Mastodon, YOB & Old Man Gloom
The Two Minutes to Late Night quarantine covers keep coming, and this is one of the coolest ones yet. Emma Ruth Rundle takes guest lead vocals for a metalfied cover of the Kate Bush classic “Running Up That Hill” with backing from Mastodon‘s Bill Kelliher, YOB‘s Aaron Rieseberg, Old Man Gloom‘s Santos Montano, and your corpse-painted host Gwarsenio Hall. It’s an inventive take on a classic song, and you can check it out for yourself below.
With everything going on, Two Minutes to Late Night are encouraging you to donate to a bail fund rather than to their Patreon (which these videos usually help support), and they’ve provided links to many of them here. They write:
Hello friends, we decided to release this video on schedule even though our country is in turmoil because we wanted to honor the hard work of our guest musicians and to give our fans a respite from the horrors of the fascist police state. In lieu of donating to our Patreon, we ask you to consider making a donation to the protestor bail funds for your local city (we’ve listed some of the major ones below). Please take a moment to acknowledge our many friends who cannot enjoy any kind of video right now. Black Lives Matter. Rest in power George Floyd and the many other victims of systemic oppression.
