Meanwhile they used one of their song as the ''credits'' at the end of every Tiny desk concert for a while. So I supposed they did enjoy their amazing performance.
I love how the bassist is always checking in with his moustache, soothing it, making sure it's ok with what's going on around. A Highly Sensitive Moustache is often seen as being as much a curse as a blessing, but it looks like they've forged a strong and committed bond. I could only wish the same had happened for some others; Friedrich Nietzsche's tragic relationship with his face pet comes to mind.
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are: Zac Little - Bass, Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar Maryn Jones - Strumstick, Bass Steva Jacobs - Electric Guitar Jon Meador - Acoustic Guitar, Strumstick Matthew O'Conke - Drums
from beginning of the video i was wondering where is the guy voice coming from. later i see the bass player lol, for his big mustache i couldn't see his lip moving lol
Exactly. I just found it this channel this week and im in love. Im from Brasil and i've never heard about Saintseneca and it is a great indie folk song. We want more!!!
one of my favorite bands of all time: a rotating cast of multi-instrumentalists and lush vocal harmonies. All of their albums are on heavy rotation in my world.
Saw these guys at nelsonville music fest a couple years ago. They blew my gourd open with their awesome. Later that night in the campground dance tent Mr.Mustache drunkenly climbed a tent support and did a surprise trust fall into a small group of myself and about 10 other people dancing. We danced around holding him above our heads for a minute before setting him down. Great fun!
my sister has been to a couple of their concerts and theyre basically empty (to her advantage) because of how unknown they are, i cant imagine them staying that way for long though, with such genuinely beautiful music.
feg it sounds like u genuinely hate women. She's way more successful than you will ever be! ALSO, I saw you in FL (2017 i think) and your music fucking sucks :)
Zac Little (red hair, mustache), in addition to his playing a ton of instruments and being the consistent force behind Saintseneca over the last 15ish years, also makes some incredible artwork for their releases. And Maryn Jones, who is featured here and was only to be with the band for a few more years, has a handful of great solo releases.
This is my favorite band, I heard they recorded a Tiny Desk episode and I have been anxiously awaiting it This is so great. They are so fantastic live.
I've watched quite a few of these tiny desk concerts over the last few days. This one surprisingly ranks near the top. I'm glad to have discovered Saintseneca here.
I LOVE the way Maryn feeds off Zach's guitar. Their voices together are those that only angels can make. I hope that they get together again soon! Xoxo
Nice use of the strumstick with capo....sets in the mix well...been a proud owner of one myself for nearly twenty years and havent ever seen one in a group setting like this... Loved the vibe - u guys r awesome saintseneca... Thanks for this NPR!
The first time I saw this band, they were so jammin'. It was before they had a drummer, just stomping and singing their hearts out in a church rec. room. Berea Fest V, if I'm not mistaken.
I just love these guys so much. Caught them at Sunset Tavern in Seattle last year and they were just so amazing! Hope when the dark cloud of COVID lifts they come back to see us.
Wow!!! Another great discovery (on my part--they've obviously already been discovered by others) of another really cool band at the Tiny Desk. Thanks for this!!! I love how they share instruments. Made my day...Here's what we'll take away from this ladies & gentlemen. "Do music your own way. You'll enjoy it more and so will the rest of us..." Thanks Again!!! I
Saw them live last night since they opened for Tigers Jaw (who I originally came to see). Saintseneca was amazing and had so much positive, good energy. Hope to see hem get more publicity in the near future.
Legend has it that if you say "Saintseneca" three times while staring at your reflection in a puddle in the forest, a pair of cutoff jean shorts will magically appear on you...possibly on top of the ones you're already wearing
Oh my goodness gracious I love that I found this band listening to one of my favorite Tiny desk: Leon Bridges, it played at the end of credits. Love it too
This tiny desk is the reason blood bath is my favorite song of theirs. Great stuff. Met them at a show in September last year as well - Zac is a cool dude
When we're barely awake And the heat of the day is weight I wait to sate my sorry longings for your rolling over And yet, here I sweat Somehow familiar with needs that I never met How does one so young become so fed up with hunger? No I know I Know I know I'm safe from you want No I, know I Know I, know I Got hallways I could haunt And I know it's all for you And I know it's raining flaming sulfur fumes When we're doused in the same flames Burning without hesitating Wet beds spread with flesh that's quenchless And I miss behavior No I know I Know I know I Want what you want No I, know I Know I, know I Got hallways I could haunt And I know it's all for you And I know it's raining flaming sulfur fumes Long days I spend in the businesses of Low wage heavy with this listlessness so Don't my dollars weight the same as any other? Don't that buy me rights to buy what I desire?

This version of 'Happy Alone' is so much better than the studio recording.
Agreed!
Absolutely
I know so many songs played there I prefer to the record versions!
Yes indeed, and that voice though. 😲
Well observed me ole mucker
The NPR crew doesn't appreciate this performance enough At least compared to other performances I've seen. This is top notch.
forreal, idk what their deal is but their applause after each song sounds so disinterested
Hipster music was not as common back then...people felt guilty to applaud it openly (even if they liked it)
@@hetanewhatchu talkin about this was in the hipsters hay day
absolutely lovely
Meanwhile they used one of their song as the ''credits'' at the end of every Tiny desk concert for a while. So I supposed they did enjoy their amazing performance.
I'm convinced his mustache is like a harmonica and as he sings it filters through and makes his voice more beautiful
I love how the bassist is always checking in with his moustache, soothing it, making sure it's ok with what's going on around. A Highly Sensitive Moustache is often seen as being as much a curse as a blessing, but it looks like they've forged a strong and committed bond. I could only wish the same had happened for some others; Friedrich Nietzsche's tragic relationship with his face pet comes to mind.
greatest
Aaawwwww!!! A furry ‘face pet’.
As the full version of the old saying goes. "Behind every great man is a woman and behind every great moustache is a man (usually)"
That’s a First World War moustache!
I think he’s the frontman also it’s v weird you mention Nietzsche
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:
Zac Little - Bass, Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar
Maryn Jones - Strumstick, Bass
Steva Jacobs - Electric Guitar
Jon Meador - Acoustic Guitar, Strumstick
Matthew O'Conke - Drums
from beginning of the video i was wondering where is the guy voice coming from. later i see the bass player lol, for his big mustache i couldn't see his lip moving lol
Antonio Padia Me too
I just audibly laughed
He's got the full crazy Nietzsche
Hahaha, I read this comment before I seen the bass player, that's some Tash alright
I was checking the comments to see if I was the only one who couldn't make out who was singing in the beginning. :P
This is exactly why I am subscribed to NPR. Discovering awesome music like this.
Agreed; however, when you read that with "Daria's" voice it seems incredibly sarcastic...
JMarquiseee lol
Exactly. I just found it this channel this week and im in love. Im from Brasil and i've never heard about Saintseneca and it is a great indie folk song.
We want more!!!
With you on that... Try DakhaBrakha if you haven't already!
I share the exactly same opinion :)

ive watched this video at least once a month for 4 years banging set

One of my all-time favorite bands, everything they've done is so beautiful and moving
These guys slept on my living room floor once.
shoud have given them your bed
Hahaha right on, I bet they've slept on a lot of living room floors.
@@KH63896 Lol . Its slumbrous parteca
Did your floor announce its veganism the next morning? Haha!
Your living room carpet just made history!!
This band is ridiculously talented.

Punk will never live
+Bradley Rigol ?
+brandon detraglia I'm confused too
Old Bird Wing the only reason I know of them is because they opened for a concert I went to last year
I've been to one of their concerts and I can confirm that, pity because this is one of my favorite groups
Smashing
+Rusty Clanton It's always funny to see a fellow friend in a random place on the internet! hah
Rusty Clanton Why am I not surprised to see you here?
XD I got it on the second look. Oh my...
wish i could smashing that hipster chick over the head with a shovel. amazing vibes!!
feg it sounds like u genuinely hate women. She's way more successful than you will ever be! ALSO, I saw you in FL (2017 i think) and your music fucking sucks :)
2024 Still one of my fave Tiny Desk performances😊
Maryn played in our living room back in like 2008 or something. So happy to hear her voice again.
when he plays the intro to fed up with hunger like it's just whatever. respect.
It really isn't that difficult...
I came to the party a little late, but these guys are brilliant!!!
6:30 When the band doesn't give you an instrument in the song so you stand awkwardly trying to focus on anything
I would have given him some close-ups.
He felt so self-conscious he grabbed a broom from the office to hold 7:30
@@seanmatthewking 😂😂😂 underrated comment
someday drums may be considered musical instruments
@@CommercialVehicle I mean he's not the drummer, drummers just chilling on his stool behind them.
Exactly what I needed on a wet and miserable Wednesday, here in England.
Vincent Van Gogh on Bass
Liam Keith He really developed an ear for music
Met nog 2 oren ha!
that was the first tough when i see this video, hahaha
Wkwkwk
ok good im not the only one

''Fed up with Hunger '' bring tears to my eyes.
Luis Alfonso Rojas me too.
He looks like the Lorax
He speaks for the tree
Lilf!
Anyone ever say he wasn't? Ever seen em in the same craft cocktail bar? Hmmmm...ya suspect.
Top 10 TDC'S
This made me lol

Just saw them live last night! Very cool band, and even got to talk to them after. Amazing show!
I LOVE the way Maryn feeds off Zach's guitar. Their voices together are those that only angels can make. I hope that they get together again soon! Xoxo
This must be the 100th time i watch this performance.
Apeirofobia Good stuff, I just found them.
isd my 5th, and i plan on joining ur record for the sake of my heart and ears :)
Yes, they ARE that good
Cunrrently close to that figure too
The fact that he sounds exactly the same live is amazing ,,, hope these guys come by my area some day
Music like this keeps me on my feet through the day
Man seeing a band live was a magical thing.
Not long now brother 👍
I saw three last week and it gave me back my will to live
2019 - Here I am.. loving this.
Thanks Tiny Desk crew! Another gem on my spotify upload selection! When I look it up, I feel like a music genius!
Nice use of the strumstick with capo....sets in the mix well...been a proud owner of one myself for nearly twenty years and havent ever seen one in a group setting like this... Loved the vibe - u guys r awesome saintseneca... Thanks for this NPR!
This video must be old. Van Gogh still has both his ears in this
Ah this caught me off guard. I lost it for about 5 minutes at this. Thank you.
🤣😅☝️
That guy on bass must have a hard time eating soup.
It is called a soup trap for a reason.
I love that 90% of the comments are just about his moustache
A bubble tea straw, I guess.
It's the flavor saver!
Probably has a good relationship with a straw.
Came here because of a 10 year old post I made about seeing them at Strange Matter in Richmond, VA. Still love their sound
The first time I saw this band, they were so jammin'. It was before they had a drummer, just stomping and singing their hearts out in a church rec. room. Berea Fest V, if I'm not mistaken.
The bass line in that first song is so killer 😲
found these guys on spotify... love them. so. good.
found then out cause they're opening for Yuck. they sound great!
I just love these guys so much. Caught them at Sunset Tavern in Seattle last year and they were just so amazing! Hope when the dark cloud of COVID lifts they come back to see us.
Can't wait to see them
These guys sound so good.
Bassist playing power chords, sick
I honestly didn’t realize he was singing until the second verse.
It’s just his mustache singing
Same here!
I was on the same page.
Let's go!!!! I had yo go so far back to find this gem!!! L9ved this so much. So glad it's still here
I like their harmonies. :)
Their voices are so unique but match so well! It's crazy!
Bands sound so much better at the Tiny Desk, love these shows
Wow!!! Another great discovery (on my part--they've obviously already been discovered by others) of another really cool band at the Tiny Desk. Thanks for this!!! I love how they share instruments. Made my day...Here's what we'll take away from this ladies & gentlemen. "Do music your own way. You'll enjoy it more and so will the rest of us..." Thanks Again!!! I
Their albums are fantastic... Just an amazing band.
Wow I absolutely love that song "Happy Alone".
Since 2015 I'm here
I'll be honest; came for the jean shorts, stayed for the haircuts.🐉
Now thats a proper mustache
I make it a point to see these guys every time they're in Pittsburgh. So happy they have a Tiny Desk
2020 and still listening
great wordplay in their lyrics; fanstastic writing and amazing compositions!
They couldn't give the poor guy a tambourine or something?
Amazing, thank you for sharing this with us!
Saw them live last night since they opened for Tigers Jaw (who I originally came to see). Saintseneca was amazing and had so much positive, good energy. Hope to see hem get more publicity in the near future.
For the longest time I thought the lead singer looked really familiar. Just remembered: Asterix! Great songs though!
I never knew about you guys before I saw this video. I am now a fan for good. Love the music! Thanks for sharing!
Good to see a stick dulcimer. Adds a different dynamic. Saintseneca, love you guys.
J'adore les musiciens qui colorient instantanément mon humeur et mon esprit du jour..merci Saintseneca ! ❤

Low-key freaked me what you jus said
The Seneca Curse. That could be what it’s called? Lol
Still listening ? Here in 2019.
Gwendolyn O. Yep, love the performance of fed up with hunger so still here listening 👍
@@scarym0nster favorite line.
Yep.
Yep. Just discovered them. So am catching up. They're amazing.
2020😍
my favourite tiny desk concert * i like your music * especially the second song *
Just stumbled across this video. What a find!
Oh my goodness gracious I love that I found this band listening to one of my favorite Tiny desk: Leon Bridges, it played at the end of credits. Love it too
What a beautiful voice!
She's so cute and has such a lovely soft voice
I got a new crush
My favourite part is the guitarist on the left standing quietly and obediently on the side as the rest of the band plays the second song
This tiny desk is the reason blood bath is my favorite song of theirs. Great stuff. Met them at a show in September last year as well - Zac is a cool dude
this is unbelievably beautiful'!!!!,.............
8:58 is the best part. 1, 2, 1234 waaaaaaaaiiiiiit ooooooonnnn
DARK_LORD1919 totally dope!!!
Blew my fuckin mind dude, i was like WHAAAAT
When we're barely awake
And the heat of the day is weight
I wait to sate my sorry longings for your rolling over
And yet, here I sweat
Somehow familiar with needs that I never met
How does one so young become so fed up with hunger?
No I know I
Know I know
I'm safe from you want
No I, know I
Know I, know I
Got hallways I could haunt
And I know it's all for you
And I know it's raining flaming sulfur fumes
When we're doused in the same flames
Burning without hesitating
Wet beds spread with flesh that's quenchless
And I miss behavior
No I know I
Know I know I
Want what you want
No I, know I
Know I, know I
Got hallways I could haunt
And I know it's all for you
And I know it's raining flaming sulfur fumes
Long days I spend in the businesses of
Low wage heavy with this listlessness so
Don't my dollars weight the same as any other?
Don't that buy me rights to buy what I desire?
Absolutely flawless. Great performance guys
So glad you're on hear!
Really catchy, really fun, really accessible. I like this group!
Happy Alone is a true bop
Great recording.
I love this formation. I wish I could click the like button for them many, many times...
Kinda like new order and bright eyes had a child…fantastic
Hey, Bright Eyes has kind of a unique singing style
There's some the Decemberists in there too
The look he gives her at 5:05 omg!
Minimal-ish Good catch.
+Minimal-ish I think she sang the part a bit early and he noticed : )
adorable :)
I prefer the love story :D
I think he got there a bit late. Adorable anyway! ahahah
I love them!! great performance
I'm completely enchanted.
Happy Alone.........always
La verdad es que este grupo es de lo mejor que he oído desde hace mucho, energía y desparpajo a raudales!
The very moment he started singing I was off the floor.
It's my hope that one day his mustache will get the courage up to fly away
😂
Simply great handmade music , wonderful and it makes me very happy !!!!
Fed up with hunger is so beautiful. 5/5
Might be my favorite thing on youtube right now.
Deserve more credit. Incredible talent.
