Today, Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders held a rally at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Kohl Center. Best Coast performed at the event. Watch clips of them playing "Feeling Ok" from last year's California Nights and the title track from their debut album Crazy for You below.
Many musicians have come out in support of Sanders. Yesterday, Bon Iver's Justin Vernon introduced him at an Eau Claire rally. Last week, the Thermals opened for him at a Portland rally. In January, Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig and Dirty Projectors' Dave Longstreth played at an Iowa rally. Koenig also discussed Sanders on CNN. And Killer Mike has given speeches at rallies, interviewed Sanders at length, talked about him on "Colbert," been on a panel with him about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and represented him in a post-debate spin room. Sanders also recently appeared on "Ebro in the Morning" on Hot 97.
