The Megaphonic Thrift is also renowned for their energetic live shows.Pitchfork reviewed one of them: "... they set up a perfectly tuneful song,then carefully unravel it strand by melodic strand-- all in aboutfour minutes. The result is a surge of scribbly, dissonant guitars,propelled by a percussive bass line and drumbeat that punishes thehi-hat and cymbals."
The band has several European and North-Americantours behind them, and has amongst other things performed at SXSW, CMJ,The Great Escape, PopKomm and Roskilde, as well as several support showsfor Dinousaur Jr, Stephen Malkmus and the Jicks, Band of Horses and A Place to Bury Strangers.
