Vevo announces the release of Cold War Kids' live performances of “Complainer” and “Beyond The Pale.” As they grew from quirky mid-2000s blog darlings into a rock band with a polished yet passionate sound, Cold War Kids' music spanned influences as diverse as Tom Waits, Billie Holiday, Nick Cave, and U2.
