Tank And The Bangas Perform “Spaceships” From Tipitina’s For Georgia Comes Alive [Watch]

On Saturday, December 26th, 50+ artists and hundreds of thousands of viewers around the world came together for Georgia Comes Alive, a virtual music festival aimed at promoting voter participation in Georgia’s critical Senate runoff elections on January 5th, 2021.

One of the many world-renowned acts to take part in the nine-hour livestream was 2017 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winners Tank and the Bangas, who set shop inside an empty Tipitina’s in their hometown of New Orleans for a smooth and lively rendition of “Spaceships” from the band’s Green Balloon studio album.

The bubbly performance of the 2019 original led by singer Tarriona “Tank” Ball bounces along gleefully as listeners are guided through the song that blends elements of hip-hop and indie-pop for a one-of-a-kind, engaging experience from start to finish. Just as the band had done during their appearance on Justice Comes Alive earlier this year, Tank and the Bangas proved yet again that their collective sound and raw performance style is simply unparalleled amongst their contemporaries, even in a scene as eclectic as the one in New Orleans.

Tank and the Bangas are not the only ones who held their Georgia Comes Alive performance inside of Tipitina’s, as Big Freedia also took the stage inside the empty, fan-favorite New Orleans venue earlier on during the virtual event, as did Samantha Fish, venue owners Galactic, and more.
