The frontwoman appeared during the Swedish punks’ set at Clifton Downs yesterday (August 30), marking the first time they had performed their collaborative version of the song live.
Prine originally released ‘In Spite Of Ourselves’ in 1999 as a duet with Iris DeMent and the title track of his 13th studio album.
Viagra Boys teamed up with Taylor to cover the song in 2020, with their livelier, lo-fi version later appearing on the band’s second album, ‘Welfare Jazz’.
Taylor said Murphy introduced her to Prine through the collaboration. “Seb is a country music fan, and so am I, so it was really sweet to do a little nice duet,” she explained.
Prine died from complications related to COVID-19 in April 2020, aged 73.
Viagra Boys released their fourth studio album, ‘Viagr Aboys’, in April 2025. NME described the record as “eclectic art-punk for the end times” and a “fun, funny and wise portrait of contemporary anxieties”.
Speaking to NME backstage at Reading Festival 2026 this weekend, the group revealed that work was under way on their next record.
Taylor and her bandmates, meanwhile, recently announced the country-inspired concert film and live album ‘Truth Or Consequence’.
Filme no restaurante El Coyote, em Los Angeles, em abril de 2025, o projeto apresenta versões com influência country das músicas do Amyl & The Sniffers, duas faixas inéditas e um cover de Slim Dusty’s 'Lights On The Hill.
The accompanying live album is due to arrive on September 4.
It follows the band’s third studio album, ‘Cartoon Darkness’, which was released in 2024.
