[StickShiftVanMan]

I'm from a little town in St. Francois County. You dudes aint too bad, I dig the ways ya say ya words,man!

[IloveRUPERT2010]

I absolutely adore this song! It's so...groovy, for lack of a better word.

[usbreeze417]

Go Zizzers...nice job guys.

[setandtrue]

[AugustCaulfield]

I'm digging your sound, it's very good! Similar to The Civil Wars with your own upbeat and rhythm!

Please check out my music as well, purely acoustic so far! I am a musician just beginning to get exposure online, so please support!

[kdjmmj]

[mastemarose]

@tkotan I found out about them on an episode of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain.. They're from the Ozarks.

[mrjoe1990]

If you like these guys you should definitely check out The Sizzling Gypsies!

[bugandcrab]

[benkurz1]

this song is a glimpse of brilliance

[muddsnyder]

Lennon Bone is rockin' the beard!

[yaz094]

Saw them just two days ago. Pretty chill and awesome.

[Xtremecracker]

One of the dudes looks like Lincoln :)

[nightmare6664]

He does! xD

[gazzylime]

What the fuck is this song even about?!?! Can some one please explain it to me? Petting zoo? Church? KK highway? ... What?

[dudemandingo11]

kk highway is in southern missouri. they reference a lot from the Ozarks where their from. This is a band that when you read their lyrics you have to do a bit of research sometimes. And also sometimes you might not know what the hell their talking about until Brian explains it in an interview, or you ask him in person.

[dudemandingo11]

The 4th of July is during the summer So are canoe trips On some level this song deals with the dangers associated with wishful thinking On another level it alludes to the dangers of nationalistic tendencies and overly fervent true believerism And on a completely different level it's about a carefree idyllic adolescent float trip on the North Fork River I think the line "this glimpse of brilliance is much better than a long look at mediocrity" sums up absolutely nothing quitenicely

Ha Ha Tonka

[LizOje]

i heard them for the first time in pamona and they are freaken awsome

[ZeDaxter]

Saw them with ludo my sis got an album signed

[EmileMink]

I happened to see this band while attending a Ludo show and they were awesome. Eclipsing energy, the harmonies were fantastic, and the combo of bluegrass/gospel/rock was exactly my style of music.

...and they're not too bad on the eyes if I do say so myself.

[Kdemi]

are they good? cool im seeing them tomorrow cuz im going to see Ludo :D

[AutumnDevi]

I went to the saturday show where they opened for Ludo...unfortunately, me and my friends got there late and missed all but the last two songs of the set....still, it was enough, because we ended up buying their CD's! it was my first time hearing them, and I'm SO glad I didn't come any later, because then I would have seriously missed out!

[ladidagirl666]

saw these fools in nyc and they blew my fucking mind!

i'm not usually into this kind of music but what the shit, they're AWESOME. <3

[BryLight]

Saw these guys last night in Philly w/ Ludo. Ha Ha Tonka is awesome!

[otterlover32197]

I was at that concert, they kicked ass

[annieTyger]

i love these dudes

[rbrent63]

BRILLIANT!!!!

[lifejackets2go]

MAYN! I flip'n love this song so much! such a unique groove and every part of your body aches to be dancing to this song

[thegrittykitty513]

Stunning. One of the best and most unique sounding bands I've heard since tool and System of a Down. Brilliant!!!

[caseyschwartz2]

i've been listening to these guys for years, finally they're getting known thank you youtube. but i'm sick of these people leaving all these negative comments about a great band who hasnt compromised they're music to "get big".

[westbyc]

saw them live at st olaf. so good in concert. plus, this is one my favorite songs. these guys should change nothing about themselves. they do a wonderful job. better than most artists that are "well known" or have top 10 singles.

[wannabezakkwylde]

very good piont i agree with you

[wannabezakkwylde]

k every musician wants to either a touch ppl with there music b become a lesson or c do wat they love doing and show ppl they do also im pretty sure they want to make it big so they can make millions of dollars and i know that sounds greedy but still millions of dollars even if they dont use it they can easily put it towards a gud cause or something

[yep6666]

this is the first time ive listen to ha ha tonka

and i think theyre great,

and its an awesome video too

[oEternalCowboYo]

Lets get one this, straight, from the get gooooooo, This glimpse of brilliance is better then a long look at medocrity........Perfect

[HighPrice52]

I would rather have the shits than listen to this trash..

[oEternalCowboYo]

Thats the thing tho, The Mass majority of people arent extremely into music, so they will never find out about a band that doesnt have a single in the top 10.

[amazinnblazin]

truly good music doesn't need a Top 10 single

[wannabezakkwylde]

its ok needs alot of work if there ever guna make it to the big times

[oEternalCowboYo]

great band, finally getting some well deserved recognition.

[LinksLiege]

Huh. Pretty good song, but it's nothing special.

[evilkitty132]

the 1 guy looks like abe lincoln.lolxz. but anyway wat is this?

[fui26gui]

its different i like it have to lsten a couple more times

[EeskeeMO]

i believe, now im not sure, this is a music video...

[WARDEATHFUN]

[blyndreaper]
