Two Gallants - Damnatio memoriae (Inrocks Session 6)

[brittany1337691]

Does anyone know where i can find this song?!?!? ive searched and searched

[nokeystothecity23]

This song is so good I will be depressed for weeks.

[Death3yDope]

I could be real sad and be "why am I only now just finding out about these guys?!" But then I realized I am alive right now and I can enjoy them as much as I want. Yay for Life!

[thatONEmachine]

Yeah daytrotter but this is my favorite version.

[JUN34U]

anyone know what album this is on?

[twigj93]

@JUN34U It's not on any of their albums or EPs.

[TheHolyurethra]

@wordupwhitey truer words were never said, my friend. never said

[wordupwhitey]

making an orchestra out of a snare,kick drum,harmonica,guitar and a trachea

[ComptonDan]

Anyone know what album this is on? I can't seem to find it.

[joerover22]

@ComptonDan isn't on an album, can find a recording of it for free on daytrotter. com though

[smexkittenz]

Anyone notice that epic beard?

[meatwadXcore]

im not the biggest fan of this group but i am incredibly pleased by his harmonica playing, typically when people play with a rack they just blow all over the thing and cant hit single notes (as a harmonica player that always annoys me) but he's got it. his fingerpicking is nice too

[RachelleMarie666]

Who cares bout the looks.... THEIR 1 IN A MILLION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is also by far the most RELAXING song I know :) WOOT WOOT 2 GALLANTS

[RachelleMarie666]

This music is awesome and like you said scaredypicker, this guy is a bloody brilliant guitarist. And the drummer has an awesome beet. :D i hope they go really big some day

[stackmanification]

god that beard looks gross. great music though

[quidproquomotherfuck]

tabs?

[quidproquomotherfuck]

Tabs, anyone?

[mypsychedelia]

does anyone know where to download the audio for this?

[ferr3t]

it's from a session they did with daytrotter named 'there will be dancing and much wine' you can find it on their website

[oxygeninduced]

One of the best bands around today, easily. Beautiful.

[misskoltsovo]

обожаю венчики!!

[KNWProductions]

I wish these guys would release a tab book or, or like commentary on their style of playing.

[Cazfootball19]

I'm so relaxed now

[pimpsauce57]

A prime example of how music can be beautiful and honest.

[one1gallant]

i wish youd shut the fuck up and enjoy the damn music jackass.

[Ellerttoohey]

Errm, Matey...

I used to dress just like the drummer and I had the same haircut.

I just grew out of it, but nonetheless, It doesn't matter what they look like, the music is still bloody fantastic.

[Ellerttoohey]

I love the music so much, but

I wish the drummer would stop wearing BALL CRUSHING tight jeans, and get a nice haircut like his buddy.

[modestmoose83]

Relax. What does it matter what he looks like? You sound like the soccer mom of an emo kid.

[Ellerttoohey]

Errm, matey...

I used to dress just like the drummer and I had the same haircut, I just grew out of it and now I have a nice lookin' girl, :P.

It's just my opinion though, o'course.

[scttmartin132]

don't put"errm matey" in front of everything dick, and no one gives a shit that you have a girl just comment on the music not what their wearing or how you think your better than them.

[Treacytime]

**teaches

[Treacytime]

does he play with the thumb, index, and middle finger? Or does he add in the ring finger? I'm learning to fingerpick and the book I have teached you just to use the thumb, index, and middle finger.

[SpartanOstrich15]

the primary ones are the thumb index and middle. I don't think it matters if you use the ring finger

[kevinjb7]

It all depends on the style you are playing

[fretpox]

nah he's usin em all. it's all what you're comfortable with. many modern classical players are taught with a pinky now. there's lotsa folk guys who'll use the pinky too.

[njdkidd1231]

this is great, just two good friends makin great acoustic music....even thought their electrics songs like nothing to you are awesome as well

[DaniellaSomalia]

come to england or i will kill 5,000 farmers

[FinnDorian]

perfect.

[cartoons4ever00010]

i want to meet that drummer!

[modestmoose83]

I met him in salt lake city, he was way awesome. I just said how awesome they were and to keep up the good work and he pulled my girlfriend and I in for a conversation for like 30 mins. They are way cool.

[leathatim]

rock on, seen these cats in house of blues orlando, fl. It was the first we had heard of them, they opened for les claypool. They rocked that joint. & claypool was amazing. I was surprised claypool picked these guys until I heard their music.

[franchisepeat]

that is wierd to me.... i can't imagine people that would switch between those two genres.... but then again... I do. this is rad.

[RSinton]

Fucking brilliant.

[SpartanOstrich15]

there needs to be a tab for this song

[Yay3IHavePants]

I'm both glad and mad/sad that they aren't more popular.

Clearly the deserve to be the most famous appreciated band ever.

But if all the assholes who just like shitty ass popular music liked 2GS, it would ruin it for me.

I'm glad they're just two humble indie rockers who are reinventing the game.

[scaredypicker]

I don't think enough has been said about Adam's guitar playing... Looking at all the comments posted here and on other 2Gs vids, I think someone has to say, he is a bloody brilliant guitarist!

[sequoia1979]

that's because it goes without saying.

[scaredypicker]

yeah

[chris230230]

Am I the only one who is reminded of Bright Eyes by these guys. Bright eyes are massive, and these guys could be two. The fact is, music this good should be heard by more people. Not letting more people hear it really is a crime. If they walked into Sony or Island and asked for a recording contract, they would have it handed to them.

[chris230230]

Scratch that unsigned thing, I just bought their album from HMV today lol

[wariogamer35]

there now signed by saddle creek records which is founded by conor oburst of Bright Eyes

[adDWH]

it was found by his brother, he owns his own indie spin off lable from saddle creek

i totally agree that both are amazing still :)

[leveelevee]

you are both wrong. it was founded by many kids from omaha, including robb nansel and conors cousin. but they werent forming a record label they just put up a name on cassete-backs, like conors first album "water" (lbj-001). but it became a record label when robb nansel and mike mogis worked out business plans for business class at school.

[adDWH]

well i stand corrected

[soganzallgemein]

ok...is this a Hohner "marine band" adam's playing there ??

[chris230230]

Probably, 90% of harp players play marine band

[FrazzleSnazzle123]

these are the two most beautiful people in the world

[midnightrid3r]

This song just grips my heart and slowly squeezes it

[eyepenny]

ahh this is so beautiful

[hockard]

Um... And the reason why they're not famous is...?

[FrazzleSnazzle123]

they're not famous because they don't play the usual pop shit every radio station plays today. they're unique, and they put their own personality into their music unlike all the rappers and pop singers out there that are famous right now.

it's sad, i know.

[wespsnest]

awesome, the french site in the descriptions good theres seems like home to me and little liza jane and a quality half hour radio set with just adam on his lonesome worth a gander

[cigarlos2005]

it's amazing how such sad music can make me so happy to hear.

[ngink]

this is one of their best and its not even on any of their full lengths!

[servilesinner]

I love this! Just can't stop watching.

[mysterywhiteboy83]

I love these guys!

[emsily]

Love it.

They're so good & so minimalistic.

[davidpwnsnoobs]

they are really talented

[mccoolcharlie]

yeah they are sweet. i saw them at the el-ray theatre in LA it was bad ass

[Raerikk]

Those two are so incredible. If you've seen them live... Or even not, you can see in this video; the way they interact. Tyson doesn't take his eyes of Adam, Adam off Tyson. The depth of understanding is phenomenal. :')

[Deena815]

Yeah, I noticed that, too...

Amazing band.

[sundaysfinest84]

these guys are the most original band i'v seen in awhile its like rebel country/old west music

[whereartestaban]

Sooo good...Haven't found one thing I don't like about them.

[greengiant123]

i like tyson's front mullet haha

[Contriving]

There are no words to describe how amazing these guys are.

[WholisticOne]

love it

[joe1joe1]

This is amazing! Love his voice sooo much!

[retardedbum3581]

their music has so much passion within it

[vivaelrock87]

great song, loved the playing!!!

[letshakehands]

I have been sitting here for about an hour and I just can't get that high bit at the start on the guitar I have got everything else apart from that.

[Takamine6string]

why does everyone comment his voice? it's his guitar playing that's amazing. This band has so much talent and doesn't get enough credit for it

[playcalm]

Takamine,

While the music is fantastic, his voicing Is incredible. Singing is very hard to do well (with proper voicing). think a harmonica as singing in a different language and youll understand what im saying and why people give his singing ability so much credit. Cheers! -nick

[Takamine6string]

Oh i agree his voice is amazing, but so is his guitar playing, along with tyson's drumming in their recordings, I'm just saying I've seen minimal, if any, comments on the guitar and an abundance of comments on his voice

[Yaarrr]

this is much better than the recorded version i think

[zeratultc]

his voice is what gives the song its soul

[Praxinoscopex]

This is a little frustrating to see how people can be stupid sometimes! I'm talking about my own apreciation! I don't like his voice and I have the right to say it! And it's not bad comment to say what I'm thinking! We are going back to the time where we were not allowed to say anything that goes against the popular thinking...

[BBSYHIG]

This is incredible

[TGCaesar]

Adam's voice makes Two Gallants.  His raspy voice is great...Praxinoscopex is a moron.

[ahmet70]

? mucx

[Yaarrr]

what? this guys a great singer

[Praxinoscopex]

Good music, but maybe they should hire a singer.. Be realistic, you'll go so much more far!

[jjj3wright]

Yeah wtf are you talking about? Adam's singing is what MAKES the songs!

Plus, I think they care more about doing THEIR own thing than "going far."

[Praxinoscopex]

is what MAKES the songs BAD!.. Sorry... But if you think this guy is a good singer.. You don't absolutely know nothing about music.. Or your deaf!! Anyway.. Ciao!

[bigbobmegadeth]

They used to say Bob Dylan wasn't a good singer either.

[awandererscry]

wtf, lol, dude ever heard of originality and uniqueness? his voice is what makes their sound stand out. listen to a couple of more indie bands before making judgments about other people's music abilities.

[kellytheinsistor]

your a fuckin tard...adams voice is fantastic...fuck off with your cheeky little "ciao"...i know that if i met you id hate you...you self-righteous shite!

[lilCRAZYkid00]

jackass, he is awesome

a different singer would destroy the meaning of the band

[Praxinoscopex]

Actually I know a lot about indie bands... And I don't like his voice... Just saying he looks fake... It's too worked, not natural... Anyway, as I said the music is okay!

[midnightrid3r]

these guys are great

[alexwarman9]

"damnatio memoriae" mens "damnation of the memory" and was a thing that romans did to emperors that had been tyrannical or just impopoular. they broke all the statues and the monuments with their names on, to make them not reminded and so worshipped like gods.. that's it.

[midnightrid3r]

Hey thanks alot man, thats exactly what we needed to know

[alexwarman9]

you know, i am italian and we study those things a lot, at school :P

[wespsnest]

quality song, barefoot yea damnatio means condemnation memoria is memory pretty straight forward really

[Barefoot26]

or... from Damnation to memory. Ablative, Dative????? Latin is cool. Avaricious comes from the Latin word for greedy, Avarus, Avarum. Pecuniary from Pecuniae......

[cathare14]

Damnatio memoriae was a so-called 'senatus consultum', a decision of the Roman senate. Dead emperors (Caligula, for example) could be condemned to damnatio memoriae when their reign was seen as bad for the empire. In that case their name was removed from all the public buildings, so they were littarly removed from the Roman past.

[Barefoot26]

what does Damnatio Memoriae mean in Latin. I took it for two years, but don't know nada... maybe it means "for the damnation of memory?"

[chicoetereo]

who the fuck need a myc?????

[jrdngc61]

I'm pretty sure it's gonna be on their next album that's gonna be released the 25th

[voukikupsi]

no it isn't!!!

[rhcp27tom1]

nicee ! :) great song. tyson looks different !

[shitstrollnahnahnah]

scratch that

[shitstrollnahnahnah]

what song is this?

[ckad79]

Called Damnatio memoriae. I think its an unreleased track. It's not on the scenery of farewell. I know you can hear it: daytrotter to com / download / 311 / id=77

[ellamennop]

incredible, thanks for putting it up.

[skellywager]

that was great,any chance of geting the other videos aswell because they wont work for me and im sure its the same with other people aswell

[enorme75]

no, it works for me, you have to install real player first...

[skellywager]

cheers for that, i didnt cop on to that, just seen the icon in the corner
