how are they just SITTING THERE?!!!!!! VW make me happy and want to dance

[newarcangelo]

What a voice... OMFG....!!

[timwerthmusic]

It's pretty empty without the amazing violin part. It wouldn't be bad at all if the keyboardist played all the notes, which any experience pianist should be able to do, so cutting out (over) half the notes seems a bit cheap to me. But their performance of 'Oxford Comma' at Glastonbury is redeeming. :)

[saltyeyes04]

who plays the violin in their studio recordings?

[greerjtc12]

I'm pretty sure Rostam plays cello, because the version he does of Campus on his own myspace page is practically all cello, and also it's quite a prominent instrument in their arrangements. I'm not sure who plays the rest of the strings, but he probably oversees it.

Crowd couldn't be any more stiff.Their music just makes me wanna dance or bob my head or some sort of movement...

[elainelayabout]

well, that's l.a. for you . . . but they're dancing on the inside . . . elaine layabout, however, has ruined many vidis because, like you, she's just gotta move her parts

[brunofujii]

@elainelayabout Well, let's dance from the outsite. :)

[helenarose2222]

[magrcon]

Kinda missing the violin.. but still awesome version.

[apotheosize]

i kind of like it better with just the keyboard!

[UCoBenetton]

he sounds like a mix of Paul Simon, Phil Collins and the sounds of Rusted Root meets Modest Mouse

[IndiePolak]

Thats quite the equation you've written there.

[sickleclowns]

agreed, they namecheck peter gabriel in one of their songs, cape cod kwass kwassa (it's on their myspace)

[markusjj85]

[THANOS43]

[elainelayabout]

thanks! had to hold my camera over my head, which was literally a pain, but well worth it for this solid live peformance

[THANOS43]

I haven't found a band I enjoy this much in years. sounds like old Police meets Paul Simon even some phish.

[markusjj85]
