He was autotuning, but it seemed almost like he was calling attention to it and making fun of the fact... while actually doing it.

Sorry about the quality of the audio... it was actually pretty great there, but my damn iphone mic isnt brilliant

There's nothing wrong with autotuning, it's just the people like T-Pain that use it in every damn song instead of using it as an effect. Ezra can actually sing, T-Pain can't, and that's the difference.

Ahh the lead singer is pretty bad ass :D but I still love Julian Casablancas and Andrew VanWyngarden morrrre :/

auto tune is a tool like anything else, everyone is jut upset that they didnt think of it first, t-pain haters contribute to his bank account just like his fans

@falconwings1982 sounds ignorant

[jpdw1988]

wow you still cant understand wtf he is saying even live. what a piece of shit of a band.

[AaMmEeRrIiTtEeNn]

If you actually listen to the song it's supposed to be auto-tuned to give it that african music type approach or whatever it is because there music is suppose to be like a indie/alternative african music crossover if that makes sense :D but yeah Ezra <3 can still sing :)

@packman26 Interestingly enough, though I do agree with you that rappers like T-Pain overuse it, he is a good singer. I've heard clips of him singing without autotune, he actually has a good voice. Why he chooses not to utilize it, i don't know.

Yeah, this is a pretty lame audience. Who did they think they were expecting to see? Whenever I pay my hard earned money to see a cool band that makes me dance, you bet I'm gonna get down with my bad self!

What a shitty audience.
