[xxubernewb]

@GiftOfaSpaaazZz woooow first time hearin someone other than myself use the term "cool cat".

[GiftOfaSpaaazZz]

@xxubernewb haha I rarely say "cool cat"; it was just a line from the song that stood out to me

[hackerquilla]

11 people have bad taste

[dignify210490]

I'm sooo lucky to have Erlend Øye and his band today in my country!!!

[santiagolopezcorrea]

@dignify210490 yo tambien!! jaja

[do0rkn0b]

so awesome.

[magdalenaj90]

uwielbiam, i love it! ich liebe es...

[capcomdude2]

@guitarhead429 watch their live performance at BBC playing 1517 inside of the window, i don't have good eyes so i couldn't tell u but it shows it, and i'm in america so I've never seen them live either, but if ur having trouble figuring it out try different strings with standard amps like 3 steel 3 nickel plated on a standard guitar different things, like slash when guns n' roses made paradise city he used a certain amp, but can't find the type now so uses different things to get the sound

[albinorainbow37]

11 people are white er than the whitest boy alive

[jbrpfan]

love the bass line!!!

[an4491]

Oh, oh oho ho h oho h, that is very Bad. Very very bad, i don't like it very much.

[TashaMac89]

yo check out that bassline, this guy reminds me of average white band, i'm color blind n they're awesome! madd soul!

[drumatic86]

what amp / guitar is he playing ? totaly love this song

[sthenige1]

@drumatic86 The guitar is definitely a standard telecaster, I know partially because that's always what he plays live, and also because I have a standard telecaster, and this is exactly what it sounds like. In my opinion, it's one of the most unique sounding guitars out there. As for amp, I can't help you there.

[guitarhead429]

@sthenige1 its some sort of Fender amp i know for sure...i wanna say twin reverb but im not so sure. I'm in america so obviously ive never seen them live and of course no one who has seen them live pays attention to the gear because Erlend's greatness distracts them. lol.

[blink1787]

just love it !

[usedfuzzbox]

Bitchin' bass!

[tiagoalen]

who can tell me about other bands with similar sound?

thanks!

[taniatbo]

@tiagoalen maybe Caribou

[psychopiano]

@taniatbo i'm sure that odessa is actually erland oye singing

[MrFoxyChris]

Hey guys. I have listened to some music from TWBA, and i have planned to buy a CD from them. but don't know which one? what album do you guys think is best.

[MyPlasticBeach]

"But how long... Can a Cool Cat Keep it´s Calm..." x)

[b52goats]

@stefanGDS  Hahahaahahaha

[stefanGDS]

People should respect the music and the way it can take any moment and really change the way that you think about yourself and the world around you. Every part of this song make me happy. :)

[epnightlife]

[cavemanfarts]

@epnightlife It's called google sir.

[joejwt]

[NewAndForSaleFan]

I have uploaded a few videos of this Band.

Check them out.

[quint555]

The drummer plays so modestly, the beat is wonderfully chill

[Ngonnies]

FUCKING A++++++++++!!!

[shuffleelffuhs]

Chill Song.

:)

[AirStyle120]

[bigdawg5289]

[kalil2003]

very sheikh

[foaby]

[csusbkid]

[ihave3pennies]

but how long can a cool cat keep his calm despite the mounting evidence that there's cause for alarm?

[ninawok]

genial

[edsoflf]

Awesome song, I've been looking for it a long time ago now I found it!!

[ReligionIsOverrated]

sounds groovy

[TheTenderhooligan]

I love his guitaring... His tone is just fantastic!

[Mastrastar]

@TheTenderhooligan fender telecaster + vox ac-30 man... the perfect couple for guitarist :)

[pippilangsok]

Erlend Øye is such a genious!

[pippilangsok]

Oh my god, what a great song! Love the line with all the C's - "But how long can a cool cat keep it's calm" it has such a good sound! :D

Erlend Øye seems to me as such a genious! I just discovered the Whitest Boy Alive just before, and am a huuuuge fan of Kings of Convenience!

[sobbejer]

raed on the news this morning that this singer got robbed during a concert in México....I did not know this band, they a re very good and I wish to offer an apologie and a big "F... U" to the person o persons who did it...

[lagarts3]

[alannaallen]

NO WAY!!!! I'm all the more in love with Erlend Oye! FUNK dear me!! :D

[SedatedWanderer]

[kingzl4y]

@SedatedWanderer

of course he still does. I went to see them in October last year. I hope they release another album again, sooner rather than later!

[AEPAM]

Ive heard that they are going to break up soon..

[zsantschi]

Kings of Convenience just released an album... few months ago... It's as good as any other of their albums. The singles are Boat Behind and Mrs Cold.

[ihave3pennies]

yeah, he makes music with KoC still and does solo electro-minimalist stuff as well.

[joaped]

@SedatedWanderer he does, boat behind is new, a song about their fans, us, and that we will have to let go sometime, is not an interpetation, its a fact, erlend said it in a norwegian paper, theyre gonna make a new album, they dont know when or how many though

[PhilJamesTaylor]

my god i love erland oye.

[jaimelyn44]

@PhilJamesTaylor

me too. so much.

[guiripinchadiscos]

[DaAntelope]

WOOOOWOWW tis song sooo amazing, like i havent heard it befor, my favourite was burning, but know gravity, heyy can you all guys subscribe to me lplzzz, and remeber,,,, nice songggggggg

[IceCreamRefrosen]

This sooo reminds me of Kings of Convenience!

Even their voices are super similar!

[kingzl4y]

It does? Well, the lead singer, Erlend Oye is also the lead singer of Kings of Convenience. WBA is a side project from him.

[IceCreamRefrosen]

Ahaah. Didn't know ^^

He's awesome!

[allinsecret]

i was just about to say that! i loved KofC and this is equally lovable :) thx for posting the vid!

[fabysalsa]

is the same singer ...

[ri0tart]

kings of convenience was the singers ex-band.

[inspirat1on1]

its the same guy... twba is his side project.

[seeenrulez]

What a smooth jam. Awesome.

[xiLuzZiioNz]

this song rockss fuckkk is the bessttttt!!!!!!

[alyrababy]

you only want to be with her because she's mine

[kawaramachi907]

Creative song writer. The guitar riff is really great.

[ElliotWoolf]

Love Erlend! Everything he does is awesome!

[kingzl4y]

I can't see how it's a boring song. I think 68,000 views speak for itself.

[SantiPanti101]

omg dis is not a boring song i find it really relaxing and listen to the elec guitar and synth between verses and chorus ur talking rubbish m8

[pillonsin]

okay go listen to mgmt then. or read the latest pitchfork article on most selling record. perhaps youll like that shit

[kalish86]

mgmt is good, what's the problem?

[pillonsin]

they are good for sure. its just that some people really digg the whole hipster concept but tend to ignore true underground music.

[kalish86]

I agree but the underground label just prevent new mythical band to rise. With such a label no beattles no doors no queen. Nowadays underground is often just an excuse. I didn't know "the whitest boy alive", that's pretty good, thanks, I just hope nobody will think I am racist now. It sounds a little bit like Phoenix, a band from here, did I already say that?

[LasseMoelhede]

can´t follow you there mate..

[MGfbzMC]

well..i kinda don't understand a word of it!

[samsoulee]

Nice shirt !

[indylila]

hahaha i can see they're getting populair huh!

nice one ! :D

[fegolas]

This is one of their best songs, but 1517 is best.

[Expl0tion]

Saw them on Lowlands 2009, they funked the house. great band!

[smiechtel]

Saw 'em too! Was great!

[Losteardrop]

I love it ...

[rockducks]

melt 09 wuhuw !

[Krawalter]

very good band! i have seen there on the melt festival 2009....

[calmetoncio]

island is one of the best too!

[bejsfan]

in my opinion, this is the best song on their album. Love the bass line.

[domelaci]

not only on the album, on the whole planet!!

[kingzl4y]

was there really any need for you to say that? christfuckingsake

[rico010188]

great stuff

[IAmChrisVu]

"cool cats keep its clam"

[kingzl4y]

despite the amounting evidence that there's..

[dimeloloco]

cause for alarm...

[kingzl4y]

cause for worry

[uziovertones]

TWBA RULES!!!! amazing :D

[bermity]

we are also waiting for them in mexico!!! this new album is sublime.

my favourite song for rules is Island...

saludos! :D

[cgreko]

[treigsokk]

Sorry mate. They have just been on a Australia tour. So I'll guess it will take some time before they go downunder again...

[theunknownryan]

nooooooooooooooo

[mattdell]

I LOVE the sound of this new album! I wish Erlend (and any of his bands) would come to the States. I've seen TWBA twice in London and I know they'd get a great reception over here!

[kingzl4y]

ye, he's the lead singer, ye i didn't know them either 'til my sexy dutch buddy told me about his other band Kings of Convenience, and I found TWBA through them, glad you like it

[Dem1oin]

Erlend Oye is the singer isnt ? Thanks for the up

I didnt know the band. Nice Music.
