The Rural Alberta Advantage - "Edmonton" - HearYa Live Session 4/1/09

[thisiswilson2]

There is no advantage in being in rural Alberta, I have to say.

[mikejbona]

I drunkedly was buying tickets for a show these guys were performing in nyc and they walked in and I was like hey "I'm just scalping your tickets" haha, a pretty memorable experience.

[MrBones2012]

[blueboyblues1]

Shivers! What A Song/ What a voice!

[JosephGallagher]

Deer Tick meets hot chick... FINALLY!!!

[manthelittleearthgod]

Woooaaaa Alberta!!! FUCK YEAH!!! Stuck in Boulder, CO. Wish I was back home! Planted the wild rose all around my place. Reminds me of being a kid at my grandparents cabin near Sundre and Olds, camping near Bragg Creek, and going for ice cream with my mom and sisters in Cochrane.

[FrederickAusterlit]

@manthelittleearthgod You're from Edmonton and moved to Boulder?! I'm from BoCo and I'm about to move to Edmonton! What a small world! Are you going to see these guys in a few days?

[eQUIV]

I like this version better than the album version. Can't wait to see these guys in concert in a few days.

[TBMock]

Thank you so much for this song. I left southern Alberta 4 years ago and I miss it and everyone there so much.

[HooperWest]

The dude that went "Thumbs Down" is a total tool.

[JimJamJuMV]

epic voice crack 3:03 looool

[disantinon]

@JimJamJuMV I noticed that. It reminds me so much of Nirvana's legendary unplugged performance of Where Did You Sleep Last Night (In the Pines) with the voice breaking followed by the eyes opening. So close that it might be intentional.

[anceyan]

genial!!!!

[spooner9ball]

Sounds so much like Deer Tick..... eerie, really.

[emohskremo]

AND he's using a Seagull guitar which is made in Canada. Canada, bro.

[maggsters]

hahaha 3:02 <3

[musklegymrat]

"Hometowns" is more addictive to one than methamphetamine :)

[modestlyneutral]

I'm amazed at how fucking great these guys are live.

[hearya17]

@houses537 You can download all of the 320k MP3's from our HearYa session with Rural Alberta Advantage (4 songs in total) at HearYa.com. Just browse our Live Sessions page.

Best of all it's FREE and will sound WAY better than anything at mp3 that vid.com. Mp3's made from a compressed youtube video sound like crap.

Thanks for watching.

[garn1177]

[renaud68]

I didn't know alberta could produce something this great

[kablamo42]

actually they're from toronto

but still they have a great sound

[LMcL17]

well formed in toronto, originally from alberta.

and yes, just great.

[renaud68]

they grew up in alberta, and all their music is from experiences of growing up in alberta, yea but they play out of toronto

[rabirdoos]

only the lead singer is from alberta, the girl is from toronto, and the drummer is from milton, I was talking to them after a show last week

[dansefever]

originally from alberta.

[IggyArtist]

I agree. Their live sound is just as good as the album. I expected a little less quality, but they've proved me wrong.

[hwmusic1]

the sound that they put out is very refreshing compared to a lot of shit thats out there. kudos RAA

[FlamingxFetish]

[robotlover911]

this is a neat and catchy tune.

it's interested to hear references to "the ledge" and "purple night" lol.

[shackinup]

what does "the ledge" refer to?? The Fleetwood Mac song?

[robotlover911]

it refers to the legislative government building in Edmonton.

It's a pretty cool building with a bunch of parks around it.

I remember going to it as a bored teenager at night.

[oilboy1979]

I went a did that many night ! If ya stared a the lights for awhile and then looked up the river valley had a purple glow too it! Pretty trippy!
