NIl 1 second ago discovered them in 2018. I used to watch this video on loop as it was my only way I could see them live then. I always thought that it was a pity I didn't discover them sooner ( before they broke up) as I would have good through great lengths to see them live. This band was that secret underrated band you kept listening on repeat that no one knew of & it helped me through some tough times in life. I saw then live 2 weeks ago and damn, they're amazing. They were incredible and was even lucky enough to take pictures and talk to them. Life truly surprises you at times.
I obviously live in the wrong part of the globe. Thanks JC for RU-vid. And I'd like to add that it was amazing how the colors came at the end. That is basically the impact Big Thief has on my life. They bring back the colors.
Saw them open for Head at the Heart for a Lollapalooza After show at the Metro in Chicago several years ago. Just prior to them breaking up actually. I can't ever remember a little-known opener earning the crowd of the bigger act like that. Then the Head & the Heart came out in 'The Walters' t shirts. A shame these guys couldn't figure it out together because they had something special.
I recently saw them at Wonky Power 2 weekends before everything started closing down to self-quarantine for COVID-19. Honestly, when I saw them perform, I cried. Twice. The sound is driven by powerful emotions that push and pull the listeners along with the melody and lyrics. I was in awe and couldn't wait to see them again but... never got the chance. Not even the chance to say, "Hi." Maybe, someday... Anywho, TLDR: This band is heavensent, and you gotta check them out live one day.
Been listening to these guys the past month or so, found them right after a breakup. I just found out today that they aren't even together and I'm fucking devastated. Breakups are rough all around, bands included mates :(
Pdtheowl but it doesn’t have Luke, the lead vocalist. He practically makes the band. Luckily he’s come out with plenty of new music and goes by L. Martin now. It’s really great
Whatever....the music these guys make is very precious. ..I don't feel like I will get to listen this sound anymore since they don't work together anymore
