[mrschokolatta]

[NitiZvezd]

they sound twice as good live, their performance is so vivid!

[cea101592]

i didn't expect them to sound this good live.

[BrandonArkell112878]

Perfect, divine synthpop.

[The1970cesar]

grandiosas.....

[mariomichinoku]

truly haunting

[pgcd93]

I can't believe how touching I find this song. Seriously - it's damn good.

[Kasen717]

I feel very high as I watch this :o very different.

[waakkeuppp]

i love the androgynous carrot top.

[alexgelister]

i like their music...but they are trying to be different a tad too much.

[chitalker]

Her voice is like whoa

[theothermurdoch]

Now on Triple Jay (Australia)'s hottest 100 for 2011 -it's the biggest independent music poll in the world. As predicted a few months ago! Vote wisely.

[ANIMATEDHALLOWEEN]

What's up with the keyboard guy in drag?????????

[McShieldBash]

@ANIMATEDHALLOWEEN he's gay i think.

[Rygulski]

Die an den Drums sieht aus wie Buzz Dee von Knorkator ;-)

[brasikurtz]

fantastic!

[Cristofre]

Its like Janis Joplin with an 80's kraut rock band

[mmmF00d]

absolutely LOVE this song!

but i never knew the band would be this, well, let's say "quirky" :)

[theothermurdoch]

And he's a very lucky bass player!

[theothermurdoch]

Thanks Austra for coming to Australia next February! Can't wait to see you in Sydney. Good luck with the Laneway shows.

[ausparallen]

@theothermurdoch what! o sydney :/.

[theothermurdoch]

@ausparallen

Hi there. Couldn't quite work out your message. Can send to my personal email if you like, or back to you.

[pooppoo]

[dreamsava]

Beauty that makes me cry. Rare experience. Thank you.

[novan08]

that vibrato is legit

[supersupersocco]

Best Album of 2011

[MikeoWar]

This is seriously weird.

[tlaalsrud204]

This is by far my favorite song of Austra! I love that they are really original :)

[Klisickis]

Very fresh!

[iamqueef]

Seriously thought that was a woman playing keyboards..

[starry5238]

I'm absolutely floored by her voice.

[thebodiescannotveto]

i love this song and austra but those fucking twins annoy me in this performance.

[TheMalcraven]

Lost Girl brought me here. And I was so sure that it was Florence&the Machine at first...

Great music #to both bands

[TheKittko]

@TheMalcraven i also was thinking Florence at first and thought it was a new song off her new album! glad i found austra though

[MrMrJoshMany]

@TheMalcraven This song is way better than any Florence and the Machine track, although I love Florence and the Machine... how did you find this song after hearing it in Lost Girl?

[louanad]

putin ça me fait ressentir trop de choses ça me donne envie de pleurer serieux lol....

[nagutnix]

i m in love... bewegt sich cool sierenen voices like by odysseus

[nagutnix]

i m in love... bewegt sich cool

[KlingKlang13]

Soon to be in Seattle with Grimes! Be still my heart!

[DonEdwardVoiceovers]

I loooooveeee her voice.

This song really hits the spot.

[JuergenKlansmann]

The soundtrack to my tears. I listen the whole day to this song and to the villain and spellwork and i´m crying the whole day because of someone.

[Mewiification]

whats the name of the drummer??????? :D

[Cleverspin1]

The green one looks like she's dying when she sings the high tones and the other girl looks like she makes bird sounds... :D

But it's a GREAT song!

[tushtushtushtush]

i wonder whats her favorite drug...

[jakeaveli88]

the twins are hott

[AlexSmith57]

I love their drummer...

are expected in Mexico!!

[CoolKidPiddy]

I gotta crush on the twins.

[hopfenkaltschale]

THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY MUSIC!

I'm sure!

[1xxxdirxxx1]

It's the strangest and the greatest performance i've ever seen! Love it!

[sirgorvic]

everybody love they

[minou0705]

AWESOME. Thank you.

[mofgo2001]

AMAZING song, but trying to be uncomfortable for the sake of it doesn't make it any less uncomfortable.

[redcommando1]

Hipster this, hipster that. This is the BAND OF THE YEAR!. put that in your hipster pipe and smoke it.

[MrStilkey]

I feel like I need to take two hits of acid in order to comprehend what is going on in every austra video.

[shottskies]

those twins are kind of ruining the song

[Machiventa]

just released a single in november 2011? wtf, are you guys from the future?

[RMH1565]

i liked the song when i heard it in the radio, but i don't like the show.

[LUTTF]

Ich finde die schlecht.

[8VanessaJ]

I'm overly E C S T A T I C to see them in concert tomorrow @ the Ukrainian Culture Center! The anticipation is like a thong just tearing me in two :D I can't wait!

[LasagnaLasagna]

@8VanessaJ they were so good there, fell in love with the singers dancing hahaha

[vonversace]

is she on Facebook..twitter..cant find austra

[HoelscheTrina]

what a great song....

grettings from germany

[Benji13Aimee]

Ooooaaaaa

[tazoky12]

the drummer is pretty hot :P

[theothermurdoch]

That is one VERY lucky handsome bass player -what a great job! (with the possible exception of the manly keyboard player -no offence to you Amazonion dude!).

Can't wait to see Austra play in Australia - kind of makes sense doesn't it?

[macca157]

Fantastic band, and a great debut album.

[Rosecolourful]

The drummer's glasses are so unnecessary

[MidnightinSavannah]

@Rosecolourful It's a 80's thing,you wouldn't understand.

[limitedmairlot]

Perfect,especially with the Tasseomancy girls

[MisterLester]

Hurray! It's 1981 again and I'm 16!

[lbomb8]

@MisterLester you're old. haha just teasing :)

[MisterLester]

Bah! Pesky kids!! Mutter mumble.

;-)

[lbomb8]

@MisterLester well, i was born in 1982 so i'm not getting any younger...i'm glad you took the joke though. i like youtube people like you who understand sarcasm and a joke! i was totally expecting to be called a "douchebag" or something...lol

[cherryjeary]

She sounds perfect for a live show, but what is with that keyboardist is it a guy.

[erinmerle]

Oh who cares about the costumes. What should they wear, jeans? That would be fucking boring. They sound amazing live!

[alterengl]

strange goodness..........

[violimo]

A kind of 21stC Human League.

[maraleegrimes]

i like how she is.

[xxxSadie1xxx]

seriously... is she singing live at all? at the end the microphone is pretty far away from her mouth.

[Moonie007LOVE]

ich liebe diese band!!!

I love this band!!!!!!!!

[azbazicus]

4:07 jiggles are the best thing bout this...

[Fusselkatz]

Song is good but they all look full retardet! :-D

[Fusselkatz]

@MidnightinSavannah

Why should i ? Maybe you was mobbed in school in the past and couldn't defend youself!

Now you play Mother Theresa on the internet?

I Don`t care about you opinion. Have a nice day. :-)

[NedelShnedel]

Katie is so nervous...

[hstrzina]

Half of these comments are from people who sound permanently negative, this song is awesome and I liked the performance. They aren't 'performance' artists like U2 or Britney Spears; give them a break & actually LISTEN to the video.

[bubblewrapnothercrap]

too much make-up.... good voice live though

[edwild22]

Have you seen the music video for this song? It's fucked up

[meowmeowsucka]

Texas is just a shitty state even for hosting bands

[captainampersand]

damn that sucked

[tatonnement]

if you close your eyes, it really is beautiful

[becto77]

beautiful beautiful beautiful

[Seanie1269]

SERIOUS VOCALS

[Seanie1269]

SERIOUS VOCALS

[krishnacatz]

/the backup dancers are so hot

[kabonnah]

Absolutely Great Song!!!

[benebrius]

Great song. Shame about the hipster, fuck off, pretentious fuck-faces performong it.

[krishnacatz]

@benebrius lol youre a fag

[krishnacatz]

@krishnacatz clearly youre the fag

[benebrius]

@krishnacatz Ha HAAAAAR!

[becto77]

@benebrius

now what would make a lovely person, such as yourself, say that?

and your contribution to global music is....? Or do you prefer to just be an asshole and contribute spiteful tirades from behind the safety of your computer screen?

i'd like to meet you in person

[benebrius]

@becto77 No. You wouldn't.

[becto77]

@benebrius

don't beat me massa, oh please don't beat me massa

trembling in my boots chump. you are the man

[benebrius]

@becto77 You good at sarcasm n shit cuz.

[benebrius]

@becto77 Thaankyou:) I take it no sarcasm intended?

[callumisgreat]

[callumisgreat]

@callumisgreat 1 sec before

[Machiventa]

who's the guy on keyboards?



[madziencja]

@Machiventa Ryan Wonsiak <3

[groovintodabeat]

Beautiful SOng ! WIll you come to Maui,Hawaii? and play with "Harmonic Resonance"

[DarthYotho]

Damn they look intense

[keniakeniakrueger]

i loved! <3

[cyrusthunders]

Gotta agree with you all, the music's great, but they just seem like Bat for Lashes' wannabes or something? (in the fashion department I mean)

[ivyannerly]

Ha these guy's have a really odd stage presence that's for sure.

[piouno]

Great voice... Refreshing group !! Bravoooo les filles :-) !

Nath

[OrionWong1]

gorgeous

[monkeytimes101]

i love all 4 chicks yo, omg.... the drummer and the twins and like the singer.... omg... aaaaahhhh.... bevis.

[SYLBM]

why can't the guy be in the band? he's touring with them and was in their music vid. damn feminazis

[Roseblight]

@SYLBM According to both wikipedia and the video description, he is, so I don't know what's going on there. And, look, comparing women's rights to fascism is not cool.

[kwulfe]

The whole style looks really anachronistic. Absolutely doesnt fit to the music.

[theozhangmusic]

love this song !!

[LANDZAGA]

good song

[betabrothers]

Just released a single in November 2011?? Have they got a DeLorean time machine? Could they tell me what the Xmas no. 1 single is for 2011? I could put some money on the bookies tomorrow.

[Swimguitars]

I freaking love it. I'm addicted O.O

[politicaltheory]

Fuck it. Hipster are overtaking indies! edward scissorhands in the background by chance?

[EmmaBott]

AMAZING!!!! Katie's voice is phenomenal!!!!

[Hustlerae]

their drummer is so badass-love her

[5kyn3t]

i absolutely like the music...

and their performance is kind of different....

austra should come to Autria! ;)

[5kyn3t]

i absolutely like the music...

and their performance is kind of different....

[JasnoGT]

Trying way too hard. Concentrating too much on style...not enough substance

[llilleste]

Why the F not!!

[redcommando1]

Great band! one of my favourite albums this year. I think they took way too many drugs for this performance though. We all should know our limits kids!.

[edielover]

I believe this is that kind of video you will watch in 30 years and call "bizarre"... just like what happened to 1980's italo disco videos. The outfits, movements or whatever... the lyrics don't really say much either. I mean, the look in the girls eyes... creep me out a bit.

[Antikontella]

-Constant hair touching: check

-Eyes looking into nothingness: check

-"Oh i'm so light and feathery" movement : check

Conclusion : high as fuck on MDMA

Despite that they performed awesome though

[trevorc4113]

@Antikontella hahaha whether this is true or not it made me laugh

[Antikontella]

@trevorc4113 ^^

[WaKaSaWaKaSaa]

@Antikontella why hair touching?

I´ve never tried MDMA so I can´t tell, would you mind explaining? :-)

thank you

[Antikontella]

@WaKaSaWaKaSaa hahahahah :P

well let's just say that among other things it makes you feel like everything

you touch is the softest thing in the world hence the constant hair touching (it's right THERE :P) ^^

[svrack]

@Antikontella Damn you and your stupid comments! Now I want to do MDMA again...:P

[Antikontella]

@svrack ahhh....tell me about it :P

[Rhaluka]

the keyboard guy... so sexy.

[llilleste]

@Rhaluka agree!



[wikidstix123]

0:26. man or woman?

[Sleazymush]

@wikidstix123

0:36 IT'S A TRAP!

[llilleste]

@Sleazymush no its not!!

[whytelynes]

I'm sorry, but I'm having trouble buying into this. Where are the hooks? It's dance music, ffs. But wait - it's not just "dance" music, like on the radio (eww), it's like kinda gloomy, intense, like, emotional dance music. So it's kinda like Depeche Mode? Ya, but without "hooks" or "interesting melodies". So it's boring dance music.  Ya. So what's what the critical hype is about? ... Did you know they're from Australia? That's so cool.

[KurtyCobaiNIRVANA]

absolutely fantastic! very fresh! love it!

[peudis]

in germany you say "gänsehaut" to this fantastic music .. love it :)

[thatsuckssoshutit]

Are they lip syncing? Why are they dancing so weird? And making weird ass faces? Is the person playing the keyboard a guy or a girl?

[baygrl518]

@thatsuckssoshutit

Were you even listening to the song or just coming up with judgements the entire time?

No, they're not lip syncing. Dancing "weird" and making "weird" faces is subjective and shallow. The keyboardist is male. Maybe you can actually listen to the song next time.

[wikidstix123]

@baygrl518 shortest shorts i've ever seen on a man

[baygrl518]

@wikidstix123

true as that may be, I don't see shoulders like that on many women

[peudis]

@thatsuckssoshutit

LSD 

[lest55]

wow!! I love this band!
