Last year, Desaparecidos reunited for a protest against an immigration bill being considered in Nebraska, but now Conor Oberst and the boys are back again — this time with new material in tow. Months ahead of their scheduled performance in Omaha for the Maha festival this August, Oberst and Co. took the Slowdown stage for a secret show last night, breaking out the first new cut from the group in a decade: a politically charged, angst-filled rocker called “Left Is Right.”
While the only clip to surface so far is shaky and lo-fi (we’ll update when a better one arrives), that seems appropriate given the loose, unhinged energy this band has come to represent among Oberst’s output at large. In short, it’s just great to hear these guys bringing their irreverent glare back to the stage, complete with some new subjects at whom to direct their ire.
