When it was revealed earlier this year that Portishead would be releasing their forth LP entitled Third, it came with the news the band would be doing very little in terms of promoting it. A total of 21 “NO’s”, including “NO free downloads,” “NO press/blogger gig” and “NO acoustic session” among others were mentioned as a sort of warning to fans expecting a fall to the floor return or something.

Luckily the English trip-hop band are still out playing shows and thanks to one trusty person with a video camera, we bring you clips of their most recent show in the Netherlands, which was their first performance since 2008. Check out performances of tracks like “Glory Box” and “Machine Gun” below.
