Hey, if they have an agent, entertainment lawyer, are savvy business people themselves... good for them. Technology has made it very easy to put out a record. But it's just as hard as it ever was to get anyone to listen to it or earn a buck from it. I wonder how many players/singers they can put on the stage and still head home with more than what it cost to get to the gig. You have to fill a pretty good size club to pay everyone in a 10, 12, 14+ person band. Quote Yamaha CP88, Casio PX-560 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the same thing happened to me this week. Had never heard of these two until this thread and the next day they"re advertising computers on my TV. They must be going ok. FWIW I like them.

Bill H. Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 When they start singing "This shit ain't never gonna change" mid-song they're not kidding! There is still 4 minutes to go...

Over a week later and my kids (and wife...and me) are still singing this. Just a very fun, young, insanely talented group. Judging by their place on the Coachella poster (of which they are one of 6 bands I recognise...) they're still relatively unknown. Wonder how far they can go.

MathOfInsects Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I have to admit I have been nigh on obsessed with this group of mega-talented musicians since Tim posted, and have gone down the youtube rabbit hole on them for days. All their videos are "high-concept," in the OKGo realm, and Gracie does most of the concepting. But a few are like the version of "Don't Look Back" that Tim started the thread with--"live" in the studio, seemingly pulling off the version we are hearing (regardless of whether they are). Clyde often jumps from board to board mid-song, as he does below as well. He does the arrangements, which really stands out on this tune. Stuff like this should fill even the stodgiest among us that the future of the music we love is in good hands... 2 Quote Now out!

Pat Azzarello Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 She has a great voice. A little over the top onstage presence so.etimes, but I may saying g that be wise I'm not young anymore and jealous. Last.ti.e I was blown away by a young singer was Haley Williams, but Lawrence may the Cory Henry of the vocal world for me thus year.

Glad to know RN is still influencing folks. On 1/13/2022 at 11:20 AM, MathOfInsects said: Exact same response. If those are the waters people are fishing in in 2022, no complaints here. I'm working on a theory that the genius of Lawrence is they've tapped into a generation of latent Randy Newman fans who were unknowingly infused with a love for RN by repeated viewings of the many Disney Pixar films he scored (Toy Story, Cars, etc.).

Close. They have tapped into a sound that is different from anything being produced by their generation. 😎 2 Quote PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

MathOfInsects Posted January 26, 2022 Share Posted January 26, 2022 It's also the case that that particular song has Clyde bringing out that color in his voice during that first verse, which to be sure was probably affected to some extent by his appreciation of RN. But if you spend any time listening to more of their material, RN is not necessarily the first person you'd think of. They have digested the ethos of some soulful and creative predecessors and found a way to make something fresh and new from it. Quote Now out!
