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...

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."

Covering Celicia, which is an amazing song anyway, made more amazing :heart:

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:

Seems like we were at the same show! :D

They are really great live, the vocal harmonies are amazing.

^ 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:

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:

I went to Paradiso. They said they were pretty overwhelmed with the number of people that showed up. :smug2:
