The Head and the Heart - Cats and Dogs & Coeur D'Alene (Live on KEXP)

[dlo925]

love how they all sing...dont see that often. great music.

[claudeernard]

talent. lots of it

[peskypossum58]

Remember Dexy's Midnight Runners? Sounds familiar.

[thirdborn56]

@peskypossum58 agree

[Allstarbamman]

Seen these guys twice live now, watching this video a couple months ago was the first time i ever heard of them, watching it again, i remember why i fell in love with them

[simbalbi]

it seems clearly they love what they do. their passion is almost as important as their voices. all their videos here are simply full of energy.

don't loose it guys. you're great and just make my days happier.

[loveabitofliverpool]

they also make great music!

[loveabitofliverpool]

every single member of this band is unbelievably sexy

[gd420mj]

@loveabitofliverpool righhht!

[GabeGreene]

I live in Coeur D'Alene... haha

[dakotamanomgwtf]

@GabeGreene Wow you're lucky I went out there for the Iron Man and it's a beautiful place! I'd love to have a summer house out there or something.

[GabeGreene]

@dakotamanomgwtf Yeah, it really is beautiful here. haha

[selainestarr]

@GabeGreene me too :O

[lossantos15]

Awesome!

[wolvesrcaring]

these guys are the new Beatles.

[GuevaraGarrett]

You guys are just crazy good

[WealthyLiving]

Awesomeness

[fredzjEE]

I LOVE THIS

[jacktala1]

not since the smiths have i heard such simplistic beauty.

[danbo5]

Holy shit! Friggen awesome! You guys deserve to be front and center. Sometimes people are just blind to the obvious. I hope they catch on...you have SUPER POWERS!!lol

[Urfquake17]

Can't wait to see these guys in Philly, three months is too far away!

[bulltastik]

They're comin' to indy...got my ticket...you got yours?

[MrBones2012]

Beautiful! i can't stop listening to these guys... the more I hear the more I want!

[llamadan40]

guys voice reminds me of Raffi.. and yes that's a complement..

[ODBs40oz]

does corey hart (sunglasses indoors) only sing?

[tbricka]

@ODBs40oz nah he plays guitar too, at least he did when i saw them

[EmmaFaye29]

@ODBs40oz no he also plays guitar:)

[MrBones2012]

The more I hear it the more I love it. Rock on The Head and The Heart!!

[Ackreti]

Very catchy. The last time some music got me like this were 3 rounds and a Sound from Blind Pilot. [recommended if you like this band]

[TheJalsop]

"sad son smoldering soul"; hows that for alliteration

[frogsoblivious]

I wish we had a radio like this in Brazil. I wish these bands would come to Brazil.

[lmansleyx82]

why is this version so much longer than the official version?!

[kangamonster]

@lmansleyx82 this is 2 songs pushed together

[MadDanJr]

@lmansleyx82 This video is the first two tracks on their album.

[cryresistant]

la la la la love them so much

[divna]

chest hair is amazing!

[kangamonster]

this is some of the best music i've heard in long time. the sound is new, clear, and catchy not just one drawn out beat. and the lyrics are meaningful not just about sex, drugs, etc.

[lylldy]

Another 1st time hearing/seeing tune, THATH gem! As I began to smile in the last 30 seconds, I wondered if anyone else found themselves doing so...

[eaglesnest2011]

Oh my, The Head and the Heart are incredibly talented. I cannot get enough of their music.

[riverking327]

@ToolsnFire Maybe simnple and basic. But, not plain, not typical, NOT AVERAGE. And it's not about hype, it's about your ear. If it doesn't please yours, you might want go go have them checked out!!!!! ;-) But, like the saying goes, "I ain't gonna argue the obvious with you"!

[ToolsnFire]

Very plain, very typical, average, I don't get the hype.  I don't get it,....however, The Drums, Tennis, Two Wounded BIrds,...I get.

[PooBearPower123]

My mind= BLOWN.!!

[TamaraTwilight13]

I actually prefer them live, they are just brilliant!

[pbunyun88]

@TamaraTwilight13 Well if we were talking about The Drums, I wouldn't get the hype there either. I have their most recent album and love a few tracks from them, but would never claim they deserve more hype than this band. I find them to be pretty hit-and-miss and think their style is pretty limited and definitely not groundbreaking. But music is so visceral and subjective, you can't measure its worth based on stuff like this. And hype doesn't measure anything either.

[pbunyun88]

@TamaraTwilight13 wrong person, sorry!

[jmui050]

Saw them at Sasquatch Festival this past summer, amazing live

[misspasig]

love this band, just saw this while looking for something good and this is it! they're the modern version of Simon & Gurfunkel and Peter, Paul & Mary.

[willyjayjayjay]

just found this band and they are what I''ve been missin in new age music. awesome

[jordanbassp]

The Sunglasses wearing singer has an awesome muscle neck

[lr52185]

@drewhickum - this is how all the KEXP live recordings are. they've just got good sh!t to record with.

[harrywhoyou]

@lr52185 i don' think they meant it like that

[iloveborisbecker]

I can't get enough of these guys - roll on November

[konoharaven]

During this song last night, the lead singer threw his guitar into the drum kit. I hope they can continue creating such great music.

[doppeltbelichtet]

Incredible live sound!!!! Just come on over to Europe, guys- we can't wait to see and hear you :-)

[ouagadougou123]

@doppeltbelichtet  they open for the my morning jacket shows this fall

[AuroraMe]

just discovered them a week ago and they are all i'm listening to! This is a fantastic performance! Its a shame I cant see them live.

[jbarnett355]

Theys guys rock! I had no idea they were from Seattle, yet another feat for music in Washington State! :)

[mettlehedd]

this is strange seeing this xD. ive met them.

[daineraid]

im a shinedown and breaking benjamin type of guy, but this is a real nice mellow change of pace for me. I like it.

[MrAmericanaSam]

This is darned good for a live take, good job! I'm enjoying it quite a bit.

[baileymae11]

They remind me of Peter,Paul and Mary. It's a good reminder.

[tiffanyleahb]

4 people wouldn't do anything for the ones they love.

[sturdymurphy]

Top Notch, I'm a bit medicted post surgery, but your stuff sounds wonderdul

[yanksair]

i need to know how to play this n the piano!!!! please help!!!

[bldki]

They opened for Iron and Wine when I went and saw them and they actually did a better job in my opinion.

[sheisabirdmadgirl]

@bldki I agree wholeheartedly! They STOLE the show.

[Delil4h]

Woof!

[csmith59]

This particular song reminded me of a stripped-down E.L.O. song for some reason. Maybe it was the "la la la" or harmonies or something.

[basketcase5295]

@csmith59 Same here! I think it's the piano too. It sounds E.L.O. ish as well.

[zweidrei91]

The way the drums enter the song is amazing.

[planetkaitlin]

This has a Dr. Dog feel, and I like it :)

[takomaskate]

@planetkaitlin Just saw them at the 9:30 club last night, and they were amazing. Funny you should make the comparison, because the last time they came here, they opened for Dr. Dog, so I see what you mean.

[MrBoonies]

These guys amaze me every time i watch them,Love them!!

[NickHampsonMusic]

seen the head and the heart twice and just bought tickets to see them with MMJ this winter in london! can't wait!

[RequiemofXavier]

Woof woof! Meow!

[AustinBlans]

Haha ohh that funny moment at 00:28 when Josiah hits the mic and his reaction... :)

[keysplayer222]

If Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers had a baby, it'd be called The Head and the Heart.

[frenchfriesforyou]

I saw them at the Newport Folk Festival and they played this and it was AMAZING!

[YoutanPoluo]

Oh man, the violinists lips I'd like to kiss....

[NickHampsonMusic]

@YoutanPoluo I have hugged her!



[YoutanPoluo]

@NickHampsonMusic I'm super jelly right now

[123tricc]

@YoutanPoluo kiss... i could think of a few more things than that... mainily dealing with a pp

[basketcase5295]

@YoutanPoluo she's mine...

[quirinocicero]

Come to Brazil, guys! I even host your band in my house! Seriously! I really need to see you playing live

[MrSilverPanther]

These guys should tour with Blind Pilot

[cyrilfernagu]

@catapulte a 2 L de la part de Saginomiya

Apres une ecoute attentive de ce morceau, j'aimerais assez que tu repondes a mon charme. D'ailleurs moi aussi j'aime Rhomer et Wax Tailor. Cote livre, je prefere Ryu a Haruki, mais je dois avouer que je n'ai pas non plus lu beaucoup de leurs livres (mais j'aime assez Miso Soup, ca me rappelle des souvenirs). Je suis plus 10/18 que Folio mais pas sectaire pour autant.

[guitar4rif]

tienen temas muy buenos estos compadres :)

[saurabhqueza]

i love you

[jab2714]

Hot damn, Charity!

[mbagely]

amazing at Brixton last night!

[gipperakh]

why does that guys' teeth freak me out? awesome band despite that...

[typicalmanoo]

capitol hill block party!!! love this band and cant wait

they killed it at sassy

[theguyIShere24]

Why must I watch this video EVERY day my life? oh yea, cuz it's the TITS! love this band!

[mihaelamusat]

You guys are AWESOME! Can't get enough of your songs. Keep up the good work ;)

[Riceymuller]

They completely outshone Iron and Wine in Milwaulkee last week... and that is saying something! They are a really exciting band :)

[modestgobble]

saw them open up for Iron and Wine...The Head and The Heart > Iron and Wine at playing live.

[Jimtron3000]

@modestgobble I say the same tour and they're definitely close, but that brass section TEARS IT THE FUCK UP.

[theklopps]

@modestgobble Yeah, I agree. Iron and wine played most of they're new stuff, which I'm not too much of a fan of. These guys just put on a really fun show with really great tunes

[flarson84]

Looking forward to seeing them live today!

[SidV101]

HIPSTER AS FUCK. but I love it. goddamit.

[jso11111]

How is it possible to go from never heard of to new favorite band in one night?!?!

[Panoptic555]

I love you KEXP! You're responsible for so much of my music! :)

[kevjweh1]

They're playing on Jimmy Fallon show tonight!! (5/19/11)

[hXcshibbygangsta]

They're all so unbelievably talented!

[shayeli]

hell yeah, awesome stuff :)

[FreksLP]

cool song :P

[NoCommentChick]

They're a veritable NW Hootie & the Blowfish.

[heidicda]

Excellent!



[imreallyserious]

Why can't actual talent like this be more popular? Damn.

[BorisGaquere]

I heard about this band via Conan

[jazzfan4evr]

@BorisGaquere it is my friend. To you !! : )

[JustinJonesVideo]

really, great! excellent song writing and an incredible performance! Also, that blonde is adorable! ;)

[GoalHoops22]

Simply amazing!

[Seraphim4590]

Superb band. Great sound and positive prospect. I can't wait to see them at Bonnaroo this year.

[walfaengerhasser]

More, more, more, more, more.

[neckfacesupra]

the end kinda reminds me of the intro to mr. blue sky by elo.

[elecooley]

OMG...I am LOVING this! Great band.

[MarjanOvermars]

I saw the yesterday in Paradiso-Amsterdam. The sounded great!

[drewhickum]

Is this for real?  How the eff did they get this sound live?

[JacobFCO]

@drewhickum Talent

[Passionis92]

@drewhickum They can actually play their instruments and sing without the aid of computers. Rare thing these days.

[luccheba]

@drewhickum luckily everything is acoustic except the piano and bass so not entirely hard to get the sound. they do it flawlessly though and agreed, they sound amazing. if you havent seen them live yet definitely do

[bldki]

@drewhickum I've seen them live. They are every bit as good.

[Chrismayo1981]

@drewhickum They play acoustic music, and actually know how to harmonize. Auto-tune should be outlawed...

[AFMike04]

@drewhickum KEXP has the best live room recording set up I've ever heard... that helps a lot.

[vols4567]

@drewhickum Direct soundboard plug in. That's how.

[Coconuteater23]

@drewhickum its a live studio session. as if they were recording for an album

[clairosaurusrex]

HIPSTER LOVE <3

Seatown represent!

[JacobH021]

This band is amazing. I can't get enough of their music.

[iamjddupuy]

F yes They r Good. The Guy on the guitar has the coolest voice in the crew! Thanks for the music: )

[iwilleatyounow]

I FUCKING LOVE THIS BAND

[yellowdello]

man these guys have beautiful melodies and awesome vocals! Makes me remember why I love and live in my favorite city.

[dave3316]

Saw them this past Sunday night in albuquerque new mexico. The whole club was dancing. They're headed to SxSW next. Watch out Austin! Here they come!!!!

[SidV101]

so. fucking. hipster.

undeniably great music though

[nphillips1982]

The Head and the Heart, Mumford and Sons, Blind Pilot, and old Avett Brothers stuff is all I'll ever need again...

These are are absolutely amazing! Wish they would come closer to South Dakota for a concert :(

[RadioKing10]

This deserves more views than this. Get hip people. This is music.

[SidV101]

"get hip"?

*smacks head against table*

[RadioKing10]

"*smacks head against table*"?

Get laid.

[SidV101]

doubles get. check em. >_> wait what?

[PeacePlot21]

I HEART The Head And The Heart! :) Saw them play live in Kansas! Spectacular!!!

[40409143902]

I saw them open up for Dr. Dog as well, and I wasn't expecting such an amazing performance. The crowd was going crazy for these guys.

[silverpopps]

i enjoy the singing but the music is sub par

[crussell124]

I also saw them open for Dr. Dog they blew my mind this band is going to be huge once there name gets out there.

[thegirlcansing1434]

I just discovered that these guys are playing with Iron & Wine this May, and I'm going to that concert. At first, I was excited to see Iron & Wine, but now I'm excited to see The Head and the Heart. Pure bliss. 

[monstrkittie]

Gotta love bands like this. With some actual TALENT

[krsurf17]

killed it in hoboken nice job guys

[AmishLobster]

Also saw them open for Dr. Dog. They absolutely fucking killed it. I was going crazy.

[sphilbind24]

[BKLYNCHILLER]

@sphilbind24

[Tjune817]

Love this band! Really looking forward to seeing them with Dr Dog in Atlanta this Friday.

[hcamp100]

Sounds like Mumford and Sons and Fleet Foxes had a baby

[JacobFCO]

Just awesome. This is the kind of stuff that needs to be played on the radio. Not the pile of crap they play nowadays

[RupDadFakeYell]

[pwner98531]

[lalax0lauren]
