Saw them and this song last night.... Easily one of the greatest shows I've been to. They played with Grouplove, and they were great entertainers, but YTG's music is just ridiculous.
I love how Francois was such a good sport and still participated in the Open Session album despite the fact that the drums were used so little in it as to not ruin the softness of it.
Whoever does films these open sessions and uploads those great instagram photos on facebook has a real talent! Really adds to the already mesmerizing music and gives it a raw, but professional finish.
im so fucking proud of you guys :). you guys are gonna get so famous and these open sessions will become a fucking classic! FINALLY something good that came out of the bubble (Irvine) :D
Sameer's voice is impeccably wonderful. Again, I comment on like every video but I seriously can't wait to see you guys live in ATL this September. Buying my tickets this weekend. Coming down from NC. SO worth it.
I agree - I've been listening to indie for nearly 6 years now and this band has a stellar and incomparable combination of everything I like to hear in a song. A++
I've been listening to indie music for years and these guys are the best I have heard and a very, very long time. I hope they keep it up for years to come too.
lovin this guys! don't change anything about your "Open sessions" they rock! can't wait for more, I'll be seeing you guys at the Westword music showcase! pretty pumped about it
Saw them live at Weenie Roast and I'm so happy I did! :) They're a great band and the hipster part of me is really glad I discovered them before they get too 'big' ;)
I'm so glad to see you guys getting the recognition you deserve. I remember chatting with you guys on Myspace back when you went by The Jakes, and now look at ya! :D Meeting you guys in DC was probably the best night of my life.
im hoping you guys are making an "In open sessions" CD . with all due respect they sound better than your studio versions. rep that giant all day erry day :}
