Fuck man. I was bout ready to blast you with comments calling you a liar. Hell, I was thinking of what to say when I was watching it and thinking "this guy has the nerve to show me footage of an indie - poppish band playing and tell me it's fleet foxes?" But it IS them. What the hell? What a fucking transformation. It's kind of...uh....awkward.
@TJsalami The bassist in this performance is named Bryn Lumsden. He split from the band shortly after this but has his own stuff (under his own name) that's worth checking out on myspace.
when I first saw an interview of Fleet Foxes (knowing that the main singer songwriter was 22 but not really remembering his name) I thought the singer songwriter must be Sky Skjelset because all the other guys looked way older lol!
Actually Robin and Skyler are the same age and went to high school together. When Fleet Foxes returned to Seattle in 2008 for a concert, Skyler looked much younger because he was the only one without a beard.
I friggin love these guys. They are coming to my area for a show and I can't wait. I saw them on a scaled down show at SXSW. I got some coverage on youtube if anyone is interested.
i love them lol but they look like scene kids -_-

Too bad the sound isn't in sync with the video, otherwise it'd be really cool.
Robin reminds me of Paolo Nutini without the beard, haha. I like it.
