"Tokyo Tea" The McLovins

[josephbyrne12]

Omg McMuffins you guys friging rock!  You guys are my idols. And you guys are four years younger than me...says a lot about my life

[UnholyGrazer]

Cunt



[versatom70]

I can't describe how BAD ASS you young fellows are, you blow my freakin' mind.

Drumming and singing.

Super Bad Ass guitar licks

Stomping bass

Fully loaded and gettin' Down!!!!!

[bioduck42]

Does anyone know what scales Jeff is primarily using in this?

[IamLincolnLand1]

This is a better version than your old one. WAY better solo

[titanlax3]

I was very impressed with the YEM and Harry Hood covers and this sounds even more incredible. Keep up the good work!

[IamLincolnLand1]

Fuck it sounds like at one point you guys are all playing a solo at the same time. You have a very unique sound. Go with a deep voice though in my opinion. Something like jimmy morrison, i think that would increase your sound.

[timrichter9]

@jamesbond007AAA -- what an as*hat you are. The comment "they look/sound infantile compared to moe or galactic" Why post such a negative comment. These kids are super for their age. Moe formed in the late 80s and the musicians have had 20 years to improve. Gallatic was mid 90s, right? You don't hear a lot of their early stuff and if you did, I bet you would have made the same dumb a** comment on them. He doesn't sound much different than Trey (who is not a great singer). Lay off dude

[SpykerZaggato84]

This is ridiculously good. Sounds like someone threw Jamiroquai and The Grateful Dead into a blender!! I like :3

[BookaDaGUCCI420]

where you guys from? i would love to see you guys jam like this live definately. keep tearin it!

[jamesbond007AAA]

instrumentally they sound incredibly mature. they are great musicians and no one can disagree with this. however, there are several things this band could benefit from (a) a non-adolescent sounding vocalist/front man that doesn't look or sound like he is 15 (think about the great bands out there - even phish); this change would elevate their status as they start receiving side-by-side comparisons with other bands. they look/sound infantile compared to moe or galactic, etc. and (b)

[eggnog1337]

@jamesbond007AAA go onto there channel and watch there new version of this song.

[SuperJakeHuffman]

@jamesbond007AAA :) luckily age doesn't last forever.  Love moe. and Galactic both awesome bands!

[cmvanderwiel]

@jamesbond007AAA They're young, sounding young is normal.. They'll mature..time stops for no one.

[zech127]

finally a new jam band for our time

[eggnog1337]

/watch?v=45AUIHb89mM new version, thumbs up so evryone can see!

[whey00]

they are ok, not brilliant though

[AlluminatedGuy]

TURN THAT BASS UP!

[RINGWORM3]

Love it, you guys rock, the music is right up my street, well done :0

[rrearth76]

whats so impressive to me is that at such a young age you guys already have such amazing synch and flow. like you guys definitely have a groove which is so on point. very impressive, you guys will go far i'm convinced

[thatonegirl961]

I'm talking to the drummer tight now actually:)

[thatonegirl961]

@thatonegirl961 **right

[Markn951]

The one guy who disliked this must have missed or something...

[jennabon]

at first, i was like, "what a cute bunch of kiddies playing!! nice vibes..." but then after awhile i felt my jaw drop. these guys have talent. the break down was indescribably good. soooosososo gooood.

[FavidDoster]

i bought this one of yall's itunes like a year ago.. by far the tastiest jam i've heard keep up the awesome work

[gonehalfcrazy]

soooo... who's singing?

[TimHoffman74]

@gonehalfcrazy The drummer.

[420dubstepful]

cant wait to see you guys at vibes :)

[ggvilleman1]

I don't think there is anyone that was this put together at your age! This is sick! Keep it up. I discovered you all through a Tom Marshall interview... I'm hooked!

[Klank123]

oh fuck me that's good. future stars here.

[rosenfeld77]

do i hear a little bit of cavern in there?

[jets9119]

[toefes]

Slapping on a 6string takes skill.. he is so pro!

[quoz11]

[jony7779]

[DeviousNegros]

Now that's something, no dislikes! You guys are great!

[andrewio]

maaan HOW do u make a live recording in the basement sound sooo good wit the cam???

[bwater72]

when they play this live its amazing not that it isnt amazing here but being there live there is just an amazing feel to their music

[URKillingme100]

Such old souls live in every note you guys play. Steely Dan and The Doobie Brothers never sounded as good! Bravo!

[atamagashock]

nice work as always guys!

ps~ nice hanging with you guys on the lawn at phish 8/14/09. although i think me noticing you guys, made for a bit of photoshoot. never seen so many people want their pictures taken with you guys.

keep up the good work, youre gonna go far!

[jhyacinth]

Saw them last weekend at Black Eyed Sallys in Hartford CT. These guys are so good its scary. And it seems they keep getting better cause they were even tighter on stage than in this video which I think is probably a year old. Keep groovin guys!

[DocJoe4209981]

@jhyacinth I was ther too. They keep getting better every time I see them! They're gonna take over sooner than later!!

[sportman41728]

drumming and singing is harder than sucking your own dick. mad props for the drummer, and the rest of the band is just as good.

[sportman41728]

why the hell does this video even have a dislike button? well im glad the 20k people that saw this know what fantastic music is cause the dislike bar is at 0.

[rollerblaker]

oh my god this is amazing, i cant believe how awesome you guys are

[Mdbsup]

You guys are way too good, buying all your CDs once my paycheck goes through.

[yazzyyam]

[xkaythebayx]

[BradRamsay]

How's the jammin scene at Keene State? drop me a message or something; I'm going to Plymouth right now and I'm not impressed..

[mclenins]

[NinjatoSama]

[IEnjoyYourself14]

[NinjatoSama]

These dudes are just way out there!!!! I love it. I've been waiting for a prolific band of this caliber for a long time....I think I found it.!!!

I'd liove to see you guys jam w/ Bela Fleck and the Flecktones.

[youstyne]

Amazing! The guitarist is awesome!!! such a great feeling! 

[spartanomc]

This my third time watching and listening to this...I am totally impressed!

[overly31]

Absolute genius....what a great tune. Reminds me of the background music in those old 70's police sitcoms....love this song.

[qbarclay]

Can you send me an hour long version of this song?

[tubagirl93]

all they NEED is a new singer!!!

[whitelightbookstore8]

I cant even believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!



[rmtomasin]

[suivezmoi172]

Guys, you were totally sick at Nateva. I just downloaded Good Catch and I am a convert. I believe!

Come to Oregon and play a show!

[txtgree124]

MORE BASS POWER!

[eggnog1337]

if these guys can really hold together until a big producer stumbles upon them......... they could definantly become big

[bleachmonkey6]

great tune. props, guys. is the itunes mp3 the same recording as this one?

[GPhunky]

great job guys! looking forward to 8/12 at Mill Pond!

[joeman8804]

*clap* sick!

[jbaby1129]

This song is fucking awesome. Although I just realized the guitarist's guitar isnt plugged in...at least it looks that way. Am i wrong?

Bass line is fucking nasty as well in the verse and that little bridge

[drummercl]

@jbaby1129 He's plugged in, its just the color of the plug blends in! Thanks!

[Musician1896]

@drummercl

Hey, I noticed someone posted tabs for this on Ultimate-Guitar. I don't know if it was one of you guys, but if it was, can you post a bass tab? You guys rock! I wish you guys would expand your touring area to the south.

[SixT4]

@Musician1896 Definitely wasn't them, cos the tabs were wroooooong :P Tabs would be appreciate though.

[Redsox07rbeast]

How do you get your sound so good recording… like, its leveled and stuff

[jamesrwallace77]

This is straight up nasty jam band blues funk with a fresh twist. Push on til the Day, my friends. It's coming..

[z20no2]

spread that funk butter!

[mink787]

you there, with the guitar, that has to be one of the sickest intros i have ever heard!

[Phishboy26]

Fender amps are incredible mainstays, but their guitars are not in like they were at one time. Single Coil guitars usually have issues with the switching due to noise on the 1.3 and 5 position. Its hard to beat a Humbucker when it comes to rocking it hard. Single coils are great for blues and clean rhythm, but not for jamming and hard rock. I recommend getting a PRS or anything by Ibanez

[Kaokan26]

This is absolutely filthy. I love it and the singers voice is perfect for this kind of music. Keep it up boys and play Chicago soon!

[b4rs227]

WOW!

[bcg2g]

Fuckin sick groovin... until the singing. :-P

Solid stuff kids. Keys, sax, vocals. Done.

[TheSchoolsux345]

howd they record this it sounds amazing

[x2entendre]

dayummmmmmmmmmmm, jam explosion in my ears, awesommeeee

[GratefulSW8]

You guys are the new captains of the mothership.

The bass player was blowing holes in the Ozone. Sick

[LunchboxxxbeatsTD]

Wow amazing a basement band that is successful great job keep going

[tjmend532]

oh my god you guys are incredible. you guys are at the level of phish already. im a 14 year old guitarist been playing for almost 5 years now. how happy I would be to join you guys

[Cometsamba]

I hate you for playing so well at such a young age

[heimtime3]

you guys ever going to tour??? Im in st louis and i would love to see you guysd maybe someday. On a different note i was at a party with all 30 somethings and you guys came up in topic in Breese Ill. So just throwing that out there that even though the Greyson kid gets huge by singing a lady gaga song you guys are not far behind sad that you guys have all this talent and the only people that notice you are the ones with great music taste well i guess thats not a bad thing.

[bsbllfreak727]

fuckin' love you guys. Buying an itunes card just to get this album

[121Thom121]

man, this is insane, i stared in amazement for the whole song !!!

congrats on the album, i will be downloading it, maybe you can come over to the UK sometime, i'd come watch without a doubt !

[PITThoops33]

good, good stuff bros

[foureyes99]

I think my favorite part about this video is the synchronized head-bobbing that starts around 0:44. Very cool. Great song too. Up there with PT as a McLovin's "signature" song.

[saladbarjam]

hey Jeff, what effect is giving you that tone in the solo? Sounds like what Barber from Disco Biscuits uses alot.

[mchadeath]

wake and bake + Tokyo Tea = YESSSSSSS

[darklink2020]

@mchadeath you sir, are a genius.

[mchadeath]

thats music. you guys dont understand, you MUST come to cali. Ill brinh everyone i know we'll be dancing like crazy

[Nugz102]

LovinBassLovin.

[jd21990]

[jamband41]

I cant wait until you kids start doing hard drugs, it's going to take the music to a whole new improv level.

[pretty8lights]

@jamband41 that can go both ways we dont want another talanted artist dying at 27

[rolltideroll456]

you guys have got it.

[ironbirdhouse]

This is the first time I've seen basslovin' jam.

[tmoore220]

Holy. Crap. Great stuff

[ng5791]

languedoc hollowbody

haha

[drnefario420]

This is easily the best band every to come out of connecticut.

[highballerguy]

this is how we do it in Connecticut

[lzylightnin]

Really great stuff guys, You've got a hell of a lot better since YEM, (And that was pretty damn good.)

You've grown as musicians and the vocals have got a lot better, congratulations.

[BWRiddler]

wait... did i hear some DMT tease at 6:10-ish?!

[BWRiddler]

you guys amaze me :) hahah

[metallic219]

Wow this is great! Nice to see young people jam so well

[hapka16]

sounds great...hopefully i can see you guys sometime. agreed he needs a better guitar. the fender is easy to play but it just doesn't have a great sound for what he's using in his rig.

[lespaulrocker1200]

where are the lyrics coming from? lol and the guitarist needs a better instrument. but other than that this is rockinnn good looks kid :D

[jamietrhcp17]

I can't get over how you guys keep coming up with such great new material, the drummer and bassist, you guys have such awesome groove and the guitarist has an incredible ability to feed off of what you guys are doing. I still haven't been disappointed by you guys once yet. Also, I don't know if any of you guys play/know anybody who plays any horns, but this song in particular would sound awesome with some trumpet or sax, in my opinion.

[carlitz888]

how can i get some of your music ,, i love it

[Leaveitago]

Words cannot describe how amazing this is. Wow.
