"Tighten Up" by The Black Keys - The Verbas

We loved Sara Niemietz' cover of this song by The Black Keys, a lot! So we started there...and then headed straight back to our roots. : ) Back to growing up just up the hill from U Street in DC. Duke Ellington's neighborhood. Nine blocks from Howard U. Where things are funky and gritty and loud. ; )

This song sounds like home!

@JohnVerba

Haha! I didn't really mean for that to say "I liked your cover so much I pirated it"... I didn't think it would be available to buy anywhere, since I wasn't sure about the whole "Do a cover of someone else's song and then sell it" thing... I dunno how that works O.O

Anyways! Gonna go buy it now xP

[eyeCvideos]

This might be one of my favorite covers that you done. Awesome Awesome Awesome

[JohnVerba]

@TheVerbas Ummmm...did you check to see if Sara has the song available on iTunes? :  )

What a GREAT cover, Verbas! And you should know that Sara Niemietz is one of my favorite human beings on the planet, I'm lovin' it that you all are connected now!

(Ben, you are ROCKIN' on the drums, you've really stepped up!)

@SaraNiemietz

Thank you! I *really* like your cover! Honestly I heard the song for the first time the way you did it, and when I checked out the original your cover was way better... O_O *thumbs up*

So then I totally made it into an mp3 and added it to my iTunes library 8P

Soyeah! Awesome job!
