TAUK and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong surprised attendees during their show at The Riviera in Chicago, Ill. on Feb. 12, by performing a cover of Quad City DJs’, “Space Jam.” The performance was shared by TAUK via their YouTube channel this week.
During the performance of “Space Jam,”–which was the theme of the 1996 movie Space Jam–the two groups shifted from a loud build to a quieter breakdown that lulled listeners with their calculated smooth guitar riffs and keyboard melodies before the ambiance gradually picked up again and led into the final chorus.
Audience members sang and danced to the fresh rendition of the song, which served as the closing track to the night’s first set, leaving fans with a taste of funk heaven during the intermission.
Pigeons Playing Ping Pong and TAUK are scheduled to perform at Boston’s House of Blues on April 1 and 2. Tickets are still available and can be purchased here.
A video of the performance was captured by Tim McGuire. Watch below:
