    Frankly, I listen to this version more than the album version. It feels like I'm jamming with them, more intimate 👌🏽🎧

    • @germyw
      @germyw Před 7 lety +52

      Oaklab Sound System 'huh' what? She's calling her daughter because of her age- it's a term of endearment.

    • @germyw
      @germyw Před 7 lety +18

      1960's girl I'm gonna be like you when I grow up. You're my mama's age but she's not as cool. 😍

    • @oaklabsoundsystem6241
      @oaklabsoundsystem6241 Před 7 lety +32

    @spencerhayes4655 Před 7 lety +503

    You all are going to be HUGE. I can barely express how much I enjoyed this, just remarkable how much energy and potential is displayed in this video. You have a new fan in myself and I anticipate I won't be alone. Man, can't wait to see more from ya'll.

    • @RawkustvOfficial
      @RawkustvOfficial Před 7 lety +7

      Had the same feeling when I met them last year in London, they tore up the stage. Spoke to Tank and we shot a quick vid. Talent is insane!

    • @tjones.21
      @tjones.21 Před 7 lety +7

      Spencer Hayes going to be?! They have been out for years. And not huge yet. People don't appreciate good music anymore. But I'm glad you finally found them...

    • @spencerhayes4655
      @spencerhayes4655 Před 7 lety +11

      tjwilliams610 Fair enough, but I can only imagine winning the Tiny Desk contest is going to launch them to a completely different level of notoriety. There's a lot of music these days and it's rare to find a group this unique. I hope they come to Detroit, would love to see them live 👍

    • @harr_ball_nasty8056

  • @phill8415
    @phill8415 Před 7 lety +53

    The venues are too small in which they are performing. The shows are sold out months in advance and there are the waiting lists. She is much bigger than that! The promoters have underestimated the gift of "Tank and the Bangers".

    • @johntucker8419
      @johntucker8419 Před 7 lety

      P Hill agreed.

    • @Scufflegrit
      @Scufflegrit Před 3 lety +2

      This is an NPR tiny desk concert.
      The entire point is folks put on a tiny concert in a side room for NPR employees. It’s a fun, silly gimmick.

  • @phathoumvongalexath5642

    @eternity1776 Před 7 lety +153

    I listened to you guys on NPR today, not only do you sound awesome, but you gave probably the best description of why New Orleans got such a good musical soul. I really hope you guys go places, cause I'll be listening if you do.

    • @germyw

    @LindsayKatai Před 7 lety +4

  • @jamesdixon2338
