#Watch Jarvis Cocker Cover the Velvet Underground and the Fall for Barbican Exhibition

Jarvis Cocker’s group JARV IS… performed a series of covers for an exhibition about dancer and choreographer Michael Clark at the Barbican, as NME notes. The set included versions of the Velvet Underground’s “Venus in Furs,” the Fall’s “Big New Prinz,” Cocker’s own “Further Complications,” and “House Music All Night Long,” from the band‘s July debut Beyond the Pale. Watch the performance, filmed by Andy Hui, below.

The Barbican exhibition is celebrates Scottish choreographer and dancer Michael Clark. In a statement about Michael Clark: Cosmic Dancer, Jarivs Cocker said, “Take a look for yourself. Walk around, and slowly it will start to dawn on you, as it did on me: Dance is the language of the human body. And nobody speaks it better than Michael Clark.”
