Takeawayshows.com is a video/music project with a simple but beautiful concept: Capture impromptu acoustic performances of musicians and bands in natural environments, such as playing and singing with friends and strangers in the streets of Paris, gathered in an old stairwell, or in a rooftop garden. They've captured performances by bands like Sigur Ros, Architecture in Helsinki, Bloc Party, and Fleet Foxes. The swaying, voyeuristic camera, french cinema style pictures, and excellent sound all work wonderfully.
