@ThaRolk can you please suggest me some other songs by this band then? i've only heard 2 i like, and i've checked quite a few of their songs...please!
Saw these guys two years ago with The Dear Hunter and Mewithoutyou; needless to say, the lattermost band was COMPLETELY upstaged by Kay Kay and The Dear Hunter.
Also, they had no horn player so the trumpet in this song was done on kazoo lol
@OliversMovies I'm seeing that show in mid August and I can't wait. I hadn't been exposed to this band before and I'm really glad that they enjoy this song as much as I do haha.
I didn't know that Wild Orchid Children is up to this project. And i think Kirk Huffman and friends are awesome. It's hard to manage 2 bands in the same period.
This song is amazing! I heard them and immediately ordered there album.. Every song on it is really good too! I reccomend them to anyone and everyone!
i don't even think there are 50 bands that sound like this. them and portugal both have drifted into a new sounding genre. (at least to me) i wish there were more bands that sounded like them so i'd have more to listen to! luckily portugal puts out as many albums as 3 bands put together
How so? These guys aren't super popular. They don't make hundreds of thousands of dollars. I'm sure there's 50 bands that sound like this, but what band DOESN'T share sounds with one another? That's the whole point of genres and influences. Artists, more often than not, make music they like, and they obviously can't know what music they like unless they listen to other artists. Sure, you can hate the band, but saying they're exploiting the record industry when they aren't that wealthy is dumb.
I was at that concert also. it was a great one. i have a couple vids up of it if you wanna see. but kay kay was great, we talked to the celo player later. cool due
that sucks when you have great bands play a shitty venue. SOMA in San Diego has a great sound system and everything was really well balanced. i go to a lot hardcore and metal shows and its really hard to hear either guitar 1 or guitar 2 or you cant hear vocals or you hear both guitars and no vocals, its very inconsistent. so to see these guys had there shit together and the venues are well prepared was nice. southern california has awesome sound in venues those. the glasshouse is my favorite
I bet the "other shitty band" was Maps and Atlases. I saw that tour in Chicago at the Metro, and while I would, without question or hesitation, have gladly traded Maps and Atlases for Kay Kay, it was still an amazing set. Still, I really wish I lived closer to Seattle so I could see these guys.
SOMA is great, though. I saw Wild Orchid Children (one step closer to Kay Kay) with Portugal. The Man there and it blew my mind. And then there was Foxy Shazam...
Words cannot express how amazing this band is. It's like they took the very essence of Seattle and the surrounding area and wrapped it all up into songs.
Seattle is pretty artsy but it's more modern art. If this music were to represent a city I would say San Fransisco would probably be a good one. Thats just my two cents though. I'm from Seattle BTW.
that has nothing to do with whether or not it's generic. It's not like the "genre" changes sound out of place either, which is what makes this such great music.
Awful...just awful. Pick a genre you sack of crap. You're like a 5 headed hipster monster that everyone wants to punch in the face. You're an old tyme barber shop crossed with bright eyes crossed with a fuckin' sherpa (I guess?) crossed with a boy who just couldn't figure out what vein of hipster shit he wanted to wallow in. At least pick your one type of crap and start bathing...
I actually think thats the point lol. to reamain undefineable. lightne up Will9248. its only a song. you didnt have to listen to the whole thing you could have left right in the middle of it and kept your peace. everyone has there likes.
This feels so Portugal. The Man-ly =D
