While Brooklyn, NY’s Couch Slut have been cutting their teeth making records and performing regionally for the last 10 years, it wasn’t until the legendary Roadburn Festival in Tilburg, NL invited them to perform in 2024, that the band first played a show outside of North America.

After obliterating the local Dutch skate park with a secret and absolutely wild career-spanning set upon arrival, the next morning, the band presented the highly anticipated debut of their new album, You Could Do It Tonight. There was big cause to celebrate as the day was 4/20, it was the official release date of the album, and now a packed and ravenous crowd who had travelled from all over the world would hear it for the first time ever.

Becky Laverty of Roadburn Fest comments:

“To capture the very specific energy of Couch Slut live is akin to capturing lightning in a bottle. This record comes as close as is possible…without the risk of slipping on spilled blood or being hit by a stray piece of flying croissant. We are honoured to have been the hosts for Couch Slut’s first ever foray into Europe and delighted that the set was captured here so that it can live on, beyond our memories.”

Hailed by those who witnessed it as one of the defining moments of the festival, Couch Slut created a veritable sea of carnage on stage during the 40 minute album set; pummelling the spectators with their unique brand of nightmare fuelled noise rock, punk and sludge. A special guest appearance on keyboards by Steve Blanco of Imperial Triumphant added to the performance while graphic visuals displaying scenes of grotesque sex acts, self-mutilation, and rampant hedonism loomed over them throughout, adding an extra layer of shock and discomfort to the experience.

With an airtight, bone shattering set from the band, vocalist Megan Osztrosits demonstrated to those in attendance why Couch Slut are considered a true cult act. Operating on less than 90 minutes of sleep and still bloody from the skate park show the day before, Megan unleashed an intense and physical performance under the watchful eyes of medical personnel and first responders; there on site to tend to any fresh wounds that may come about during the ritual, and horrified at what they were observing in the process.

Live at Roadburn: The Couch Slut Brunch Hour is meant to capture the aural filth and visceral energy of the performance you just read about and perhaps were (un)lucky enough to witness. Professionally recorded from the soundboard, mixed by Ben Greenberg (Uniform, Pharmakon, Chat Pile), and mastered by Matt Colton (Aphex Twin, Sunn O))), George Michael), this is Couch Slut and their acclaimed album You Could Do It Tonight, like you’ve never heard before. A violent, destructive, yet brilliant and satirical performance that could only come from the shores of America and ultimately from the musical force that is Couch Slut.
