PurrView #56 - Peter Murphy, Poliça Play Vegas

Top 40 and mainstream musicians are reeled in regularly by the simple appeal of performing "Live in Las Vegas." No doubt, many live albums have been released with that phrase tacked onto the end of a band name. But if you look closely, you'll find that Las Vegas has a very eclectic side as well. Below are a couple great videos from not-so-household names that have made a recent stop in Vegas on their current tours.
