i just got back from their show in Boston idk what everyone's talking about they put on a good show. they're all just young. it's evident the lead guitarist is shy/nerveous but he shreds hardest out of all of them. i'd recommend them
My friends and I recently recorded a song called "Nylon Whale" and we would love if you took the time to check it out! We don't sound much like Smith Westerns, but we're an indie band looking for support! Thanks and God Bless!
I can't believe I never realized the symbolism of him cutting the tree down towards the end in correlation to the song... Their initials... He was officially ending their relationship. His friends helping him, but they're letting go, cutting it off. Shes just not physically in the video.
How did this not end up on any best of 2011 lists? It seems impossible that critics didn't appreciate how great this album was. Not even Pitchfork put it on theirs, WTF!?
How did this album not end up on any best albums of 2011 list? It seems almost impossible that critics didn't appreciate how good Dye It Blonde really was. Not even Pitchfork put it on theirs
They have a great sound, but for whatever reason, it just did not translate to their live show. I would however argue, that the Arctic Monkeys are actually better live than on their cds, great show!
ehhh, these guys are sort of better than who opened last year for the Arctic Monkeys in Orlando. can't say i dig their music style or overall look though. it's all bleh, lol. what happened to normal man clothing....seriously.
@BackInAGiffy sure, AS DOES EVERY FUCKING VIDEO someone likes,lol, its kinda a meaningless thing to say-of course u think "blah" is under appreciated-BC u happen to like it haha
@pwnerlwner i just saw them like three days ago... or 4 they were amazing, this drunk chik got kicked in the stomach because she was trying to make out with one of them hahaha
@kylethompson1234 I couldn't agree more that they didn't know what was happening. And I'd be angry too if all of my gear was being destroyed. But get your facts right please, there wasn't a construction error, it was nature. Everything was safe, investigators have already confirmed that. I was there so I quite know what happened, and nobody is to blame. Please don't take this personal, here in Belgium we're just getting sick of everyone trying to blame the organization. I'm not saying you do :)
@Lieven29 They should stay out of Europe due to what was likely a construction error that nearly killed at least one of the band members? How does this accident relate to them at all other than the fact that they were playing on the stage it happened on? grow up.
Smith Westerns are real dudes, who play real music. With heart and soul. they have toured for 8 months straight so far, and sold a lot of records. It's building. I think they are a band to watch for years to come. They Keep it real. For real.
Last night 5 people died at Pukkelpop Belgium because of a storm. Smith Westerns was playing there at the moment. The only thing these blokes cared about was the fact that their instruments were broke.
Smith Westerns, stay out of Europe: we don't want you anymore.
@Lieven29 They tweeted that the moment the accident happened, prior to knowing how much damage it actually caused, they sent out condolences once hearing people actually were hurt. It was mistranslated and taken out of context. Don't be quick to judge.
@Lieven29 you're being ridiculous. they saw everything they own destroyed by a fallen stage. you wouldn't be angry? only later did they hear people died, and they recanted upon their previous message. it seems natural human progression to me, and i don't even like this band..
@danlikesmusicalot if a tent is full of people at the moment it collapses, you must be really stupid to think no one got injured or killed. At the moment you see a tent collapse, you can hear the screaming the chaos, but still they think about their f*king material stuff ? pathetic
I actually bought that book, haha. I saw Arctic Monkeys a few days ago and they were amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!! (obviously). I wish I could have seen them play with smith westerns, though. lucky bitches here.
AAHH!! Whats going on? These guys are having to tour with" The not-so-sensational Alex Turner band???" A shame indeed. Yet another case of support = better than headliner...
