squareonefivesix Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I can't get enough of this album Gorilla Manor, out already in the UK, 16th Feb for a USA release. I know there's at least two other LN fans here & Jazz suggested a thread for them, so here we go... http://www.thelocalnatives.com/home.html from last.fm - "Local Natives are an indie rock band based in Silver Lake, Los Angeles, USA. Initial reviews of Local Natives have drawn favourable comparisons to Arcade Fire, Fleet Foxes and Vampire Weekend." Single Airplanes [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QuljnrCfBNw]YouTube- Local Natives - Airplanes - BBC Radio 1 Live In Session[/ame] Covering Celicia, which is an amazing song anyway, made more amazing :heart: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdnjfxXpr7g]YouTube- Simon and Garfunkel - Cecilia (Acoustic Cover)[/ame] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fietssleutel Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I went to see them play last week and it was amaaaaazing. :D Especially the encore (Sun Hands extended) was a real highlight.

fietssleutel Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 You get to see a lot of good artists live soon :freak:It pays off to live (relatively) close to Amsterdam. It's still a 5 hour round trip, but I don't mind travelling. :) It's not that good for my bank account though. :sweatdrop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fietssleutel Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 ^ Did you go to Paradiso or Tivoli? I ended up going to Tivoli because I hadn't bothered to buy a ticket for Paradiso. I prefer Paradiso, even though Tivoli is closer and cheaper. :nice: I think I favour the more rocky live sound over the album sound. Though the sound at the gig was a tiny teensy bit crappy. Vocals got drowned. :dozey: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 So according to an e-mail I got this morning from iTunes, Local Natives are being included in a free 20 song sampler that U.S. users can download after becoming a fan of iTunes on Facebook. :cheesy: Unfortunately, however, it's exclusive to U.S. users, and unless I'm mistaken, I'm the only American to post in this thread. ...Wow, I feel like this was completely pointless. :dead: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
