Givers: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

[WiesBandBielany]

Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great! Great!

[TheFletch827]

I watched some other interviews, he's not blind but he is obviously high in all of them. Bass - amazing tone.

[WeAreTheKiwis]

@TheFletch827 hes high on life

[kamtheman106]

I went to high school with Kirby- the drummer. We were on drumline together for 3 out of the 4 years I was there. Tiff Lamson worked the desk at the drum center I took lessons at when I was in middle school. A girl I dated worked with the bassist. You'll never meet a group of more down to earth and humble, albeit goofy and weird, people in your life. So proud to have known these guys growing up. Lafayette, LA pride! GIVERS represent 337 well and are going to be the next big thing.

[WeAreTheKiwis]

@kamtheman106 im seeing them at the jazz fest i cannot wait and you saying this they are officially my favorite band. taylor is my hero

[TheBenstephens]

fucking flute solo

[TermiNader5]

i WISH i could so easily express myself like that guy haha

[HiggyHiguera]

Thank you!!!!

[ZoeMaura]

Can you imagine if everyone was blind, in which the ways we moved would all be so incredibly different. No one to judge or be judged, maybe more people would act like who they truly are? Funny how easy things can be outside the norm, though everyone is trying so hard to be original.. right?

[leglesscobra]

@ZoeMaura I almost feel like the lead guy is blind

[cysublime]

Orgasm at 12:35-12:40

[Conor935]

Badass bass player!!!

[arfurlife]

@Conor935 yeah I noticed he was extremely good too.

[666thehazard]

I love ho everybody looks pissed with the exception of the singer who appears to be having some kind of autistic orgasm lol. Awesome performance though :).

[cupidsdaughter17]

@666thehazard if i could like this 100 times, i would

[abeldork]

@666thehazard autistic orgasm rofl

[fredbuhrow]

This band isn't a cookie cutter band, i.e. same as all the rest, and some people just can't handle that. so that is why they post stupid comments about his face, when they fail to realize that is what caught there attention and made them post in the first place. So it obviously works as an attention getter.

[derek0660]

that was a dirty flute solo holy shit

[travelswithcharley4]

they almost have a Vampire Weekend feel.. but more developed.. i like it

[purple1ris]

He looks like Elmo from Sesame Street!

[epicurienfsk]

Presqu'orgasmique!

[Gomoto25]

It amazes me how some people can't seem to grasp the fact that people just love music. Maybe its a concept they'll just never understand.

[TheGreenteawithmilk]

i love the acoustic version of meantime, way better than the original

[pedrotrin]

ok... i lovee their songs..... but whyyyy do he need to move like that?

[claufman95]

i cant tell whether he has a severe case of guitar case or if hes just a tad bit down syndrome

[WEAREANIMALS]

her voice <3 this band is just great. 

[funkid500]

btw the bassist is sick

[babaluboo123]

I think the guy should do a porno. It would be an instant hit. He would put himself into it like no one else could.

[loveoutlaw6157]

" Don't get stuck in the meantime, No such thing as the meantime" NPR dude!!!! Stop throwing such good songs, i blame you for my procrastinating. lmao Just kidding thats all me.

[avsky123]

This is fantastic! I think is the best band I've seen on this series so far. Very original.

[DoctorWha]

That bassist has so much hate in his eyes

[BigTuna1994]

@DoctorWha Hopefully he's just deep in concentration.

[amandolinthegirl]

It's like Of Montreal meets Vampire Weekend...I dig it.

[wiegandmatt7]

The 4 dislikes on this video must dislike life. These guys are blessed not only with the talent to make good music, but also the uncanny ability to force their listeners to stop what they are doing, and maybe do a little dance :-)

[TomPMelanson]

I want to give the lead singer guy blowjobs all day and see all the different faces he'll make.



[xlikwidx]

I wonder if she'll marry me

[goofsteez]

shes a fuckin angel

[JABBERW0CK2000]

the bass is sick

[lilrevdotcom]

Jesus Christ! That is the happiest shit i've heard in a great long while. Thanks NPR! I am moved, and for the crusty young fogie that i am, that ain't something i take lighty! I have a new favorite band! Lil Rev

[Geostrategic1]

Your tax money once again thrown down the NPR rat hole.

[Geostrategic1]

@ayStoopid So Typical coming from a NPR brainwashed, hippie humanoid, degenerate schmuck. Va' a dar via 'l culo!

[jzvolcom]

AMAZING !!! 

[TheAustinBenton]

I saw these guys last Halloween with Ra Ra Riot and Villagers, they were very energetic and put on a great show.

[TomPMelanson]

Lead singer is beautiful I love his faces.

[phishboy93]

the bassist wants to murder the lead singer at 2:39

[spudlen]

good band , although the only singing i liked was on the last one , they should just make her the lead singer great voice ,

[WifflinWalters00]

bassist is fuckin sick

[faecesbook]

What the fuck is wrong with his face??!

[fydrea]

Oh jeez i must comment...i used to laugh at john mayer's guitar face but his guitar face seems normal compared to this guys. Lol too funny but hey at least he feels it and you can tell he loves it. Great music its so upbeat and fresh i like it :)

[xlikwidx]

Great music, I think the singer needs to take it down a notch or two though lol.

[angelicaseoane]

no dejen de verlo

[AquimusMaximus]

Even the woman singing is closing her eyes to avoid having to watch his facial onslaught.

[charlesfelixmagnus]

Passion has its visual limits

[TheBluv12]

I like them until I heard Atlantic...that shit was PHAT! ALL CAPS.



[cdmac2]

Really diggin the bass...

[IAmTheSwordmaster]

Can anyone get a good view of what's on the "wall of shame" in the corner?

[hermeschbird]

He's just utterly enthusiastic and completely himself...more people should be that way....plus Tiff Lamson is my future wife....

[ohmygoshiloveapples]

@hermeschbird no, not if I get to her first.

[SAMBISH0P]

This requires some tiny desk dancing at my end

[PaperMonocles]

Ok there's feeling it, and then there's feeling it! But, they are awesome!!

[DSamurai]

he's just expressing his passion for music, sure it might not be the prettiest thing in the world, but at least it's honest and true.

Givers is awesome ;D

[gabbaslammajamma]

WHOAA! can you say love at first listen!?

[mmcbride58]

Givers...plural. My bad. De so gud!

[mmcbride58]

Wait. What's that on my face? It's, it's....a smile! I can't help it. My toes are tapping, an i'm butt dancin in my seat! Me like Giver.

[fooglez]

I.. just want to float on a cloud dancing my heart and soul to death.

[Klerkur]

I imagine people experiencing a severe epileptic fit would stop mid-fit and ask "What the fuck is wrong with that guy?"

[BlastFromYesterday]

yes! a flute!

[Flecktoned]

@pjdjohn269 I agree. Saw them live at ACL Fest in Austin last year. They are so much fun to watch.

[timbulb]

Has that mofo ever seen video of himself?

[bapbap22]

@timbulb

hes enjoying himself man. cut the man with the passion a break.

[DustinThomasMusic]

@timbulb

Nah, he strikes me as the type who plays for emotion not ego. Kid's got soul. Who cares about appearances?

[rascally5]

@timbulb I'm assuming he has, and that he really doesn't give a shit because he's having a great time making great music.

[malzaharry]

@timbulb

he cant you douchebag cause he is blind ;( !

[solomantaylorplayer]

@timbulb yeah he has commented on it. doesnt give a f*ck. Also why he is blowing up

[WeAreTheKiwis]

@timbulb i hope not. he has too much energy

[rascally5]

@WeAreTheKiwis Realize that his energy is one of the things that separates GIVERS from your cover band. Think about it.

[WeAreTheKiwis]

@rascally5 i was saying his energy is wonderful. Also were not really a cover band, but that was our first performance and we were nervous. original music on the way

[rascally5]

@WeAreTheKiwis Ok i thought you were saying he should chill out. Alot of other people on here say that, and i think thats so wrong. Well anyway good luck with your band

[MellowCruisin]

We know who the crack head in the band is. But they make good musixc.

[hww0103]

i cant stand watching the lead singer, but i like the music

[pjdjohn269]

givers givers givers... 337 337 337. This band so talents if you get a chance to see them live.. GO GO GO.

GOOD JOB NPR!
