    You know why i love this band. I get nothing fake or manufactured from them. I actually feel like I can know who they are from what they put out there. I wish all music was like this. Amazing, you make life more interesting!

    "this childish heart won't wait

    it means that, i can be happy for you
    happy for you"
    love that part so so so much! love this band! can't wait for their upcoming album

    I got to see them live at a local venue in Memphis last year. I got there early so I could get as close as I could to the stage. I managed to get front and center! She smiled at me a few times so I can die fulfilled now. Plus I got a dope shirt to remember it.

    • @ColonelKurtz
      @ColonelKurtz 8 лет назад

      Ugh. I know! I was excited to find out they're coming to my town. When I went to go see who was opening for them, to my horror, they were actually opening for the band KONGOS. Are you kidding??? If you're trying to search your mind as to who the eff KONGOS is, they're the one-hit-wonders who did the terrible song "Come With Me Now". Yes, we get it, you have an accordion in your band. Next.

    Anyone old enough to remember a band in the 90's called Belly? Very reminiscent of Tanya Donnelly.

      Of course. "Feed the Tree"...
      But, lest you forget about Throwing Muses?

    • @Barkymark

      LOL No, didn't forget. That was Tanya's stepsister if I remember correctly. I was a bigger fan of her voice than that of Kristen.

    you can't see the wood for the trees. TJF are making huge sounding symphonic music as a three piece. Their stuff sounds grander, more original,passionate, better thought out, than most other three pieces, and they don't sound much like anyone else. If they're doing that with a minimum of instrumental 'skill' (read fretwank), then it's actually more impressive that they've put so much work into getting the overall effect they get. In fact they are very good performers who've 'paid their dues'.

  • @EtcEtcAndEtc
    @EtcEtcAndEtc 12 лет назад

    In fact I challenge anyone to play along to this band on any instrument and make it sound good. It's not easy to blend in with their sound. There is a lot to appreciate in their music. Go and complain on some sex pistols videos instead, or go listen to dream theatre

    I love Rhydian's voice! It's so cool to hear him singing. Also, why the FUCK is a person sitting down in the background??

  • @laurenparsons1176
    @laurenparsons1176 7 лет назад +2

    Does anyone know how they're getting the three note synth sounding melody? It's at the beginning and the end, and I thought it might be a guitar loop? Or could be playback, but it doesn't look like the drummer has in ear monitors? I was just curious about this, let me know if anyone has any ideas or explanations.

    • @joeldeutscher7077
      @joeldeutscher7077 7 лет назад +2

      From what I can tell, Ritzy plays/records it into a Line 6 Echo Park set to the looper function, then allows it to loop while she then switches to playing the shoegazey riff over top of it. She can then just smash a button to start or stop the loop at will.

    • @drumtracksdirect
      @drumtracksdirect 4 года назад

      You can see at 0:28 that Matt has in-ears in! The synth is on a backing track, with a click running at 135 bpm or thereabouts. At 26 seconds in on ruclips.net/video/Qw7LPxBdB6Y/видео.html, you can see Ritzy tap a pedal to kick off the track.

  • @Pulverpojken

    The drummers looks like a slightly younger version of my Video Production teacher, and he also has hair unlike my teacher haha. It's hard for me not to laugh when I see the drummer.
