[andantealamierda]

BEST SHIT ON YOUTUBE!!

[jmzdun]

Most chilled out music ever.

[newdaddynugent]

this is truly spell bounding this song just changed my life and became the best thing i have heard sence fugazi

[thinqtanq]

Got to see these two in NH back in 07. Great set. Not that it matters, but are they an actual couple?

[DCbound138]

@thinqtanq

Yes, Amy Farina is the wife of Ian Mackaye.

I only know that because of an interview hosted

by the PunkCdSampler.

[retrohippie]

You can hear so much Fugazi and punk influence in this but yet it's different in it's own ways.

This really is unique music.

[alejandro15187]

damn, I miss Fugazi.

[Flombie92]

Ian looks like he's having a ball.

[BigUpsKonviction]

dude this song is so awesome. This is the first I've ever listened to The Evens, but i've been a Minor Threat fan for years

[ridintheconcretewave]

do these guys still tour?

[vansrok1]

guy and girl

[heavymetalstud]

When will people realize that guy with an s is plural and all-inclusive, meaning both male and female?

[DropDeadFedra]

who doesn't want a marriage like this?!!! pure beauty.

"im alive, you're alive.. we make warmth when we desire"

[bluebootzz]

Excellent

[cheapy2006]

it's like a fugazi/pj harvey shotgun wedding

[Savagejon]

Brilliant song!

[twoboots4you]

Amy sure can play a snare. great stuff!

[brando1234]

I think you all need to stop thinking about "punk" music as a sonic definition and start thinking about as a definition of ethics, principles, and values. Ian has evolved beyond the aged music have his past and suggest you all do too.

[VisciousNytemere]

awsome i like it.

[nemierock]

All you kids are idiots and wouldn't know good music if it punched you in your cocks.

[nemierock]

All you kids are idiots and would know good music if it punched you in your cocks.

[twoboots4you]

ha. Would. you know you can delete your own comments?

[2j5d8m1o4e]

Is Ian banging the drummer?

Maybe thats why hes making this crappy music

[biggestbiggs]

youre an idiot

[2j5d8m1o4e]

Maybe your banging the drummer.

what a load of fun she looks like.

Ian mackaye is as interesting as a loaf of wonder bread.

[idunno7777]

youre an idiot

[ciarannn]

haha actually they had a kid a few months ago. i like the evens though, not as good as Minor Threat, etc. but what can you ask for?

[2j5d8m1o4e]

I could ask Ian not to torture people with this garbage. but hey kids will still show up because its "Papa Ian" King of straight Edge

What a snooze fest

[BagpipeHustler]

ian mackeye and his riff are the only good things about this.

that's all i can say to you.

[posthumanhero]

I agree......it almost sounds like very bad minutemen.

[cybilrella]

i like fugazi better than minor threat but Ian was great in both bands.... and the evens...

[stoopiddub333]

is he playin a 1950 style Gibson melodymaker???? holy shit i used to have one, same color but guess what... some one in my band was walkin out of the garage and it was leaning on the amp and i dunno what hppend i dont think he hit it but the wind blew it over(lol) or somthing and the peg head fucking SNAPPED off.... i fucking died... thats like a $500 git fiddle... shoulda put it on a fuckin stand DUDE.., mFUCK

[hatethismusic]

dude, melody makers are fucking sick, but that's an old danelectro. funny, very similar tone...

shitty about the old one. you should think about getting a reissue...they're dirt cheap...

[milkmeat]

I think it's some kind of danelectro baritone guitar. lower tone than a standard issue.

[porkchopsalad]

Honestly, this is pretty awful.

[sirkarate]

increible, soy un fan de Fugazi.

Pero The Evens estan super caaabrroneees

ojala algun dia vengan a Mexico, que lo dudo mucho.

[Papryczka0507]

Amy's got great voice:)And Ian rocks of course;>

[carrythetwo]

Just saw them last night and man what a good set, pretty awesome crowd involvement and vibe going on! Sweet jams!

[rhcp00001]

cool im a huge fan of ian and fugazi and today i got tickets to see them when they come to my city

[Boom2thaBap]

Her voice reminds me of Grace Slick from Jefferson Airplane.

[element4433]

Does anybody know what kind of guitar he's playing?

[Matto88]

It's a baritone guitar...

[chrysslyn]

no. It's an instrument of satan.

[element4433]

I thought thats what it was, but I don't have a lot of experience with those

[bread86]

It's a Danolectro baritone tuned in A. He let me play it when he was in town.

[element4433]

Damn that's awesome

[ButterKnifeLtd]

lucky...

[ePhilosopher]

if I , were a pawn, i'd be gone

[lpoursoi]

that's ponk!  thanks ian and amy.

[Fouxfilm]

wow thats really really really bad ! sad ! outta time!uncool,and the longest 3:38 min of my life ,why is he sitting ? lame !

[bread86]

he's sitting because he's rocked harder than any man alive for 20 years straight and played over 1500 live shows.

[gziroli]

Couldn't have said it better!

[Fouxfilm]

harder than bob dylan ,neil young ....i dont think so ...more like rocking chair ..i doubt that it makes a difference if he rocks or not ..it is what it is ..guess you like it ..i dont

[bread86]

I love me some Neil Young, but he was sitting down when he was in 1967

[Fouxfilm]

yeah ...he was sitting ..sorry, i was just being mean ...while sittin at the computer :)

[sabotier]

la wea fomee

[mrblifil]

Reminds me of Ut, but more melodic. Ian's a pretty interesting guy. Even in this band he shows how influenced he was by Lyle Pressler, as a guitarist. How could he not have been?

[CharlesShawProject]

when are they gonna be in LA?

[mendozatron]

i was at that show and it was wonderful.

[lustyscripps]

Absolutely amazing, thanks a lot.
