My friend met them at a concert in Seattle. They didn't have tickets to get it at first, so they played live music with a sign that said "Need money for concert Tickets!" and they said they would be up to letting them in if they didn't get the money, but they did. They are really cool guys, and great musicians! Such awesome music !! ^_^
FYI - this was posted in february of 08 before youtube expanded the playback aspect size. So, during that process the aspect ratio for this video (and many others) was squeezed, which is really lame. Some of the videos were unaffected but others, like this one, were.
If you love them, go to the shooter's website (its called the take away show. google it). Theres TONS of artists like throw me a statue that he shoots.
1:58 I here a tambourine, but I don't see him playing it... Was there someone else playing one?

@justinnickovtime the tambourine was around the keyboard players neck. At 2:00 you can see him playing it.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
2 things what would have made this all ready fantastic video priceless:
1. if the made an "i'm on a boat" joke
2. if the xylophone fell in the water

Not to be a smartass, but I'm on a Boat wasn't popular, (maybe not even around?) back during this video.

haha that's a good point...
but i would so crack up if the xylophone fell in the water. not to be mean, it would just be a cute twist.

The guy with the tambourine around his neck is so awesome, as is the twist middle in which THEY WERE ON A BOAT ALL ALONG

how did they do that without the noise from the ferry? record in studio?

wireless mics and wireless packs for the guitar?
lordJordo 2 years ago
no. that would ruin the entire point of doing it on a ferry in the first place.

Every night I pray
She comes around, my house to stay
And every night I pray
She comes around, my house to stay
The hunger has not receded
Those little moments
When it wraps my head
Feeblest offers I take at all costs
With all my heart
It wouldn't budge

We could do it all and it all go faster
Things could multiply at apauling rates
Then we'd lose our heads and we'd still go faster
Even on our birthday

Shaking of a dusty cape
Placing it up again
Cos she used to love it
So i bury my shame
She was nineteen and we all rearanged

I know
I come on over and she's pulling at my shirt
She's telling me to stay
Take a look over here
Come up, i got the bullet to my head
And she's asking why i came
