Fragile Rock: Tiny Desk Concert
Set list
About
Fragile Rock, an "emo puppet band" from Austin, Texas, delivered a unique and entertaining performance at a recent Tiny Desk concert in Washington, D.C. Led by band leader Brently Heilborn, the band's breakup led to the formation of these whimsical and melancholic puppets armed with drums and guitars. Their setlist included emotionally charged songs like "Wake Up to the Breakup" and "I Am Sad (And So Am I)," drawing influences from The B-52s and The Smiths. One standout moment involved the band playfully tossing "bloodied" socks into the crowd before performing "Socks Are Murder," a cheeky tribute to The Smiths' "Meat Is Murder." The concert showcased Fragile Rock's unique blend of music and puppetry, making for a one-of-a-kind and unforgettable Tiny Desk experience.
