The Para-Medics - Tropical Caterpillar

[kevinGacey]

This is the first video on youtube I have ever liked, I have had over 20,000 video plays and probably watched even more but you are some of the realist bros I've ever seen play music. If you ever tour america I will help you fund your trip and if you could play in pittsburgh, pennsylvania it would mean the world to me, I would spend a whole pay check to make that happen

[majorboogie1991]

you dudes are the shit. its music like yours that remind me  that there are still real musicians out there

[pupokOKa]

Ну нормально. Ноты то знаете?

[CaPnUylsses]

[ffwoodycooks]

"what are we playin?"

"tropical caterpillar"

0:06-0:07 (in the back) "this song is good"

[joebulletproof]

Worst thing about this video, is that this band is incredible, and all people can comment on is how black the drummer is.... I feel very sad for the state of music and our society.

[Brom24]

This is some goooodddd stufff.

[lildrmerboy2021]

so fucking sick, so glad math rock bands are poppin up everywhere now

[Korvvy]

[momace2005]

Sooooooo.....I want to download this. where do I get it.....I helped create about 100 Giraffes? Giraffes! fans in my local area and I would love to pass your stuff out too. It's hard to find actual musicians anymore.

[ffwoodycooks]

@momace2005 h**p://thepara-medics.bandcamp­.**m/album/switch-it-on-em

h**p://homepage.mac.com/ihavea­pc/sioe.z*p

we're about to come out with a much better-sounding release with two more songs in jan/feb (it's already mixed and everything, i believe we just have to master?) so you can just download the Switch It On Em!! EP there for now.

[mangofmr]

good job

[UmSawyer]

@SBDjosh imloling

[BrittonDeJong]

this is uncanny

[blackorpheliac1]

The only reason this band can't stand up to The Fall of Troy is because they lack the pop element. Still really good. I havent heard a band this good in a while, though my band is pretty good. You guys are boss.

[looser0319]

looks like the singer from look mexico

No posting for FB? This needs to be shared!



[whatwouldgjdo]

This is music at, I think, it's finest.

[hdubzz]

this song makes me wanna bust out some nacho cheese dip and have a house party

[InLocoParentis96]

omg soo good!!!

[whoaitsfritz]

saw these guys about a year ago. crazy trio. makes me want to practice guitar everyday. =(

[Javeness]

Oh my god, the hipsters!

[spentswimmer]

Didn't realize that the drummer of this band was the guitarist of Richard Def and the Mos Pryors.

[DoriansYourObsession]

I love this shit.

[pizzaROX]

try sooo harrd

[rhombusskullvsteal]

wow this is actually fucking awesome how come those people are standing there like they're bored like "oh this is just typical math rock" stupid hipsters

[rhombusskullvsteal]

the drummer is sick but the bassist looks like the guy from twighlight

[rhombusskullvsteal]

this is a nice clip of some insane people

[mensendike]

Is the guitarist the same guitarist from "Weye" from the youtube channel "GregsGuitarLessons"?

[idmann111]

@mensendike Nope. But I've played with them and they're awesome dudes!

[ilikebreadSOT]

@idmann111 You guys rule really hard, I would have loved to see you with Weye! :3

[idmann111]

@ilikebreadSOT Yeah dude. It was actually my old band Richard Def and the Mos Pryors that played with them a year or two back.

[brookeECHELON]

mm mmm mmmmm

[scottie2hottietfot]

Pretty sick. Not as shred as Tera Melos but those guys also lost their minds.

[CherubicGuardian]

I really like this!

[TheOtherSun]

That drummer is sick. 

[alittlemikeful]

cut those strings you're gonna poke yer eye out!!!

[iamthelazerviking]

Hey I recognize that drummer...I once heard him say something like "a chicken sandwich and waffle fries...FOR FREE" while standing in the woods.

[idmann111]

@iamthelazerviking Oh awesome!! It makes me so happy when people recognize me from my other work. Check out the Blade movies if you haven't. I star in those as well. OH. I also had a show on comedy central for a little while called the Chappelle show. My personal favorite is my role in Trading places. Working with Dan Aykroyd was life changing.

[TMVowns]

@idmann111 made me fucking lol

[idmann111]

@iamthelazerviking but for real. I wish I was any of those people. because then I'd have money. I'm just a negroid that looks like a bunch of other negroids.

[darkgoth972]

@iamthelazerviking  is he really the guy from unforgivable ?

[MrManiic]

@darkgoth972 i think he's flying lotus

[fthedrake]

such thick tones. i luv it. xalent bass

[ffwoodycooks]

@BrothersLuvUm awww you guys! :) it's an Ocean TB-70, it's a guitar center brand i guess hahaha. i know, i know...it sounds/plays wonderfully though. i love it.

as far as fingertapping on bass goes, one of the most important things to do is lightly mute all the strings with your left index finger when you're tapping. i used to think bass tapping was impossible but the real problem is most people learn to tap on guitar first and you can often "get away with" not muting the strings on a guitar.

[loketron]

awesome!!!!

[fxtrtdeltabravo]

Dude awesome stuff! great energy guys. im trying to finger tap on the bass like that (key word trying). props to you sir.

[superbts]

I fucking love this 

[fnatweekgnome]

agreed. this dude can rock a 4 string to gnarnia for sure.

[waffles032]

Love this thing. Craziest tapping bass since Piglet.
