Go behind the scenes with The National as they set out in support of their acclaimed album, 'Alligator'. As the band settles into their first week of the tour, their supporting act Clap Your Hands Say Yeah are blowing up and the band is forced to ask many serious questions of themselves, their work and their commitment to rock 'n roll.

This episode kicks off with a backstage look at The National's two sold out shows at The Bowery Ballroom in New York and a special showcase for SPIN magazine. The band then sets out on a national tour in support of 'Alligator' which eventually garnered best of 2005 accolades from the LA Times, Billboard, Uncut, Entertainment Weekly and Insound.com.

After an entire generation stopped listening to tango, Gotan tells us

that its growing popularity of tango is the revenge ("revancho") that

it deserves. The band goes on to describe how melancholy and

sensuality are something that is lacking in modern music but oozes

from the indestructible, immortal tango.

Phillippe, Christoph and Eduardo tell us about how 'Lunatico'

draws from more popular Argentinean music and rhythms and how being

"exiled" in Paris has helped them to create and evoke the "nuevo" in

their tango

In this week's episode, Gotan Project members (Philippe Cohen

Solal, Christoph Mueller and Eduardo Makaroff) tell us about how the

group originally started and how their fusion of traditional tango

and electronic music led to a new way of making music. They will

also reveal the secret behind the name of their new album, 'Lunatico'.
