Typhoon - The Honest Truth (Live on Letterman 08-04-2011) [HD]

[habsfan87]

I hate the "be kind to your neighbours because they're just, they're just LIKE YOU!... LIKE YOU!" part. Dunno why. Just do.

[Atemporal]

the whole population of portland is on that band.

[TooClassyToCutMusic]

what?! when did they go on letterman?? congrats guys! (: I love these guys. they're seriously amazing live. saw them at a benefit show for a girl from my school about a year ago. I'm glad to see Oregon locals are getting recognized.

[DukeofWulf]

I find this inspiring. The idea that even if I have ZERO talent, I can perform before a national audience. Awesome.

[falconclarinet]

@DukeofWulf Ok bro, you go learn how to play a trumpet that beautifully, or a bass, or a violin, or how to sing perfectly in tune with a group that large, and then come back and tell us all how little talent that takes.

[DukeofWulf]

@falconclarinet lol it's called high school band, look into it. Not exactly rare talent.

[VictorMWolf]

@DukeofWulf High school bands might produce one or two kids per class who actually learn to play, while the rest get stuck in there because there's nowhere else to stick them. Our high school band was pretty much an overflow for shop kids when those classes were full. Hats off to the kids who actually do manage to learn how to play their instruments

[DukeofWulf]

@VictorMWolf Sounds like your school got the short end of the stick. My HS was Catholic and had four years of religion class, so students had precious few elective slots; despite that, the VAST majority of members in band were enrolled all four years. Perhaps it helped that you had to have prior band experience (or the beginner band course) to be enrolled in the band. Regardless, I'd say that about 75% of the members of my HS band had at least the caliber of talent on display in this video.

[DukeofWulf]

@falconclarinet It doesn't take much talent to vamp in unison. Only slightly more to write a figure that simple. I went back and watched it again and was even more unimpressed. The whole thing feels like a class project for a high school band. I can't vouch for the quality of the rest of the band's music, but to put this song on national TV feels like a cruel joke on all of the truly talented people who are never given a shot.

[kakanizacion]

Me he enganchado a esta cancion!!

[metallicakixtotalass]

Pretty good song... a little like every other band in the genre, but that bridge right before the end is pretty awesome

[PiefaceclownPrdctns]

It looks like he was nice to his neighbors and invited them all into his band

[omgfreakay]

There are like... 75 people in this band.

[gjhfntg]

@ talktoedwin I think it's a Moog minisynth...

[DunklinDonuts]

Does anyone else hear "be kind to all your niggas" instead of "neighbors"?

[whatevermoran]

Not trying to turn this into a political shitstorm, but it's baffling how U.S. Society & Friends can embrace and promote Black Friday and fraudulent wars yet find it fitting to censor art like this.

[jgrizwald]

Great to see that Typhoon's getting recognized (both on Cracked and Letterman).

[04211992April]

Um, I just got chills.

[TheShieldsMD]

How have I not heard this before Cracked featured it?

[DunklinDonuts]

@TheShieldsMD Possibly because you don't watch Chuck?

[Atemporal]

@ModernTimepiece funniest comment here and you get spammed. blasphemy.

[NovaleeFei31]

wow

[JacktheFord]

Chuck

[bgnjusa]

I wanna f---ing cry! SOOO Great !!!!

[talktoedwin]

I don't know what the girl in gray in the back is playing but 2:48-2:52 is the best part of this video. I love her.

[MMetz23]

I can't believe the late show bleeped the word "Piss" at 2:37... What is this world coming to? Great song...

[lizwiz1955]

LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT!! wow!! THESE GUYS ROCK!

[s8l2s9d2z02s909388]

Dave knows he's in the presence of greatness and seems genuinely humbled by it. Bravo, Typhoon for blowing into NYC at Category 5 and making Dave decide to hump an intern twice that day.

ROLL!!!!!

[IkkeEngangTraerne]

This song is fucking badass

[WEAREANIMALS]

so wonderful! glad these guys are getting media coverage

[BMack503]

Well done! Can't wait to see them at musicfestNW!
