Matt Berninger of The National is currently on his first solo tour. The same day his new album, Get Sunk, was released, he covered New Order’s “Blue Monday,” adding to the repertoire of covers he’s been doing on the road. Just last we watched him tackle Nirvana, Tom Waits, and Radiohead.
Matt Berninger’s stage presence is unlike any other. He exudes confidence and doesn’t walk but rather glides across the floor as he performs. His arm movements and bold vocals exude a massive energy that one can feel even from a computer screen. His “Blue Monday” performance showcased Berninger’s slightly gruff and pleasantly broody baritone voice.
