This weekend, Primavera Sound is playing host to two iconic shoegaze bands: My Bloody Valentine and the Jesus and Mary Chain. Yesterday, the latter band brought out MBV's Bilinda Butcher to help perform the track "Just Like Honey". (Last year, they performed the song with Jessica Paré, aka Megan Draper from "Mad Men".) Watch it below via Consequence of Sound.

Last night, Baroness made the first stop on their first U.S. tour since last year's near-fatal bus crash in England. It was also their first show with bassist Nick Jost and drummer Sebastian Thomson. Below, watch footage of them playing the Yellow & Green track "Take My Bones Away" in Philadelphia (via Stereogum). 

Back in December, John Baizley and Pete Adams performed an acoustic version of "Stretchmarker" together.
