VietNam - Live at Emo's (2/28/02) part 1 of 2

VietNam was definitely a very young band during this time. Two years into the band's existence, it was a six piece unit, and Austin, TX was home.

This footage, taped at Emo's in February 2002, captures some of VietNam's raw, basic musical traits/characteristics.

Now, in 2007, it's quite a reflection looking back, seeing and hearing the band flourish artistically in other directions, yet retaining its core ideals. The two core band members, Michael and Josh, have dropped the keys and sax, and minimized down to basic rock necessities. They've also left Austin and moved on to Brooklyn (we'll keep the porch lights on, just in case you folks return).

Anyway, hopefully you VietNam fans enjoy this old footage of the original lineup.
If anyone knows the name of this song, then please let me know, so I can change the video title. Thanx.

Godspeed, VietNam! Keep up the great work, and congrats with the Rolling Stone interview (Jan '07) - it was beautiful.

Note: VietNam opened this show for And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead and Explosions in the Sky. Overall, a brilliant night at Emo's!!!
