Live Music Week: Sleigh Bells Slay NYC

We chat with Derek Miller about the dynamic duo’s stage presence.

Even on record, Sleigh Bells has a raw, in-your-face kind of sound that leaves you puzzled as to whether you want to dance to it, or just punch somebody. Live, you’ll still find yourself torn, as the energy of the swelling, pulsating crowd swallows you whole, while Derek Miller and Alexis Krauss thrash about onstage. Sleigh Bells were one of the most buzzed about acts at our NYC Creators Launch event. Few anticipated that the live show of this new, scrappy two-some would be as powerful and memorable as it was, but for many, it was one of the night’s highlights. We caught up with Miller after their performance and chatted about the band’s sound and onstage presence (video and photo slideshow above).
