Directed by the band's very own Derek Miller with help from Gregory Kohn, it's a slo-mo filled live performance vid using footage from a host of dates on their US stint. It includes footage from shows in Omaha, Oklahoma City, Dallas, and Houston and you can peep it at the top of the page.

[Watch] Sleigh Bells - "Irreplaceable" (Beyonce Cover)
Last Friday I took a trip to see Sleigh Bells live at their Manchester date and even though I dig the sound they create on record it just didn't quite gel for me in a live setting. Their new album has been widely adored by fans and it's true that they have their moments. Saturday Night Live for example was pretty decent. But that said I just couldn't get into it at a large show. However, this little number they put in whilst in London seems pretty cool. They paid a visit to Zane Lowe's Radio One show and covered Beyoncé's "Irreplaceable". See what you think of their take on one of Beyoncé's biggest tracks below via The NJ Undeground.
