NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert: David Wax Museum

[TyteFystedFolkie]

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more jawbone.

[crosbyed69]

not to sound like an ass, but I think she's from New Jawsey

[jakewildwood]

poor, poor bass

[patfeeba]

sounds like David Garza

[Eurt76]

I haz gone tew teh concert that was tonight. I was like the only kid there. :p Got autografz on mai CD. :D

[daSelenite]

because a cowbell is too mainstream...

[anjleone]

that's a trad instrument, the jawbone. It was replaced by a facimile later, but that is the original.

[Nelakdeux]

when no cowbell is available, substitute jawbone.

[RSLweblog]

donkey jawbone. I was at a show where one of the teeth shot off across the room!

[StarlitHour77]

she is such a fox holy god

[CheeksMusic]

Somewhere in the world a cow is playing a human face and making ridiculous faces while it sings.

[mshekleton]

I've heard both David Wax and The Low Anthem play Rest in the Wake of the Lord. Who wrote it? It sounds like on old hymn or something.

[piboy3141]

These guys are so good. I saw them at the Appel Farm Arts and Music Festival and absolutely loved them. I can't believe that so few people have heard of them!

[abcdefghijklmno13710]

at 1:29 he broke his chello

[jfw032443]

Yes, and very well done too..... the magic of sound..... in fact this video clip shows just what can happen when people love their music..... love making the magic and do it.

This is the closest I have come to being twenty again.

There is magic in this group.

[Jackiegoal]

The energy's great, as well as the third song.

[nathanhartono91]

sax player looks like Bret.

[judgementok11]

That fella looks evil like Robert Patrick. Because of the eyes.

[chochlander]

i love to see them use the donkey jaw bone!!!

[ManBag101]

so basically... i saw rango today.  AND every song that was in the movie sounded like yes maria yes and I would get so excited, but the david wax museum never played a single song in the movie. Someone must be sued.

[plasmashears]

Damn! Bad luck for the bassist ON THE FIRST SONG! I saw them at a living room concert a while back. They were Really awesome! So much energy!

[mymudroom]

that second tune will move you. amazing. thank you.

[chochlander]

a donkey jaw



[AcexAnderson]

1:29 That is the worst feeling/sound for an upright bassist.

Bridge pops out of place. >:( NOOO! This band is awesome,

Nevertheless. Just thought I'd share.

[bigdangerous]

The Tom Ze record up top is a nice touch

[Deadweasal]

1 person doesn't enjoy a good time!

[GonzoDuke]

Support National Public Radio!

[GonzoDuke]

Saw these guys tonight on Mountain Stage. Fucking Epic

[narenmking]

@GonzoDuke Very good show

[bapbap22]

i think that the sax player should join permanently

[Artcarnie]

Who's dating this girl anyway?

[jesserobles91]

wait... did his bass just bust?

[BigThingsAhGwaan]

Dope

[brothergabby]

Wish I could play a donkey jawbone like that. It's fun to dream

[Takarafire]

Such carefree energy!! :] 

[Kajintoz]

Love the energy, David Wax looks downright villainous with that goat and the pale eyes

[anonymoussays]

@Kajintoz agreed.

[hopulikit22]

Yep, that's a jaw bone from a horse or donkey. Cool.....

[ColorMePresley]

There's nothing like the sound of a blunt object clanking against the mandible of livestock...takes me back to my youth.

[ColorMePresley]

@ColorMePresley Yay!!! People think I'm funny! :D

[mxtthxw]

These guys are flipping awesome. I love "let me rest" I want a CD with it on...

[kbpease]

@mxtthxw -- "Let Me Rest" is available on their CD, "Carpenter Bird"

[HeyMoon128]

I fell in love with these guys at Newport! Can't wait for the new album :)

[GotsTricks]

The second number was very special to me. Great group, great music.

[funkid500]

i do believe... she is playing with a jaw :/

[kbpease]

@funkid500 - yep, it's an instrument known as a Quijada, commonly made from the jawbone of a donkey or a horse.

[jaksspring97]

David i think i've met you at a party just off Clark Lane in Columbia. It looks like you guys are doing great!

GO TIGERS!

[phishboy93]
