"Shake It Off" / "If It Makes You Happy"
We're big, big fans of Screaming Females over here. They're a great band made up of some awesome people, and they blow the doors off of anywhere they play. You knew all of that already. You may have also known that the New Brunswick trio have made a couple of stops at the A.V. Club studios over the years where they gave their take on a pair of other people's songs as part of the "A.V. Undercover" series.
Screaming Females put their own, unmistakable stamp on "If It Makes You Happy" by Sheryl Crow and, a few years later, "Shake It Off" by Taylor Swift. Both of these disappeared from the A.V. Club site at some point which was really sad, but Screaming Females have made both available digitally today. People who pre-order Screaming Females' upcoming, seventh studio album, All at Once, will receive a limited-edition 7" that includes both songs for their troubles (Hoping that also applies to fanboys who pre-ordered this album several months ago).
All at Once is due from Don Giovanni Records on February 23rd; and Screaming Females are setting out on a big, huge tour in support of the record. That tour brings the band to Jersey City's Monty Hall for three nights of release shows from February 22nd through 24th. They make their way back to this neck of the woods in April with shows at Union Transfer in Philly and at Brooklyn's Market Hotel. They set off for Europe in May.
You can stream both covers via Spotify (or anywhere else, I'm assuming), and all the tour dates are below.
