Tune Yards

Just heard about them because I saw them play a free concert in downtown Madison last Friday. I haven't been able to stop listening to them since.
It has been a while since I've heard something as original as the Tune Yards.

PS: I realize I'm late on the uptake here, but I never said I was cool!

Merrill Garbus is pretty awesome. I've only seen live video of her stuff, but she does some pretty cool stuff with her pedals.

tUnE-yArDs are awesome. Bizness is a great song

The new album just didn't do it for me. I like WhoKill a lot better. I saw her live 2 years ago and it was awesome. I saw her this year on Jimmy Fallon and the performance was pretty underwhelming. I hate that she added two cheesy background singers and the visual / video stuff was just dumb.

Merrill is awesome. But I agree that Whokill is better than Nikki Nack.
Water Fountain is a hit off Nikki, but top to bottom, Whokill is phenomenal. The idea of giving an album a name and a personality/identity is pretty cool and unique though.
Jealous you got to see them. Like most others, I've only ever watched live videos - which are impressive enough on their own.

She just played recently at the Republic. It was awesome. So entertaining!

I've listened to her albums a couple of times, but I can't get I to it. Too esoteric for me, I suppose.

They/ She is good. But their sound is derivative of of African Call & Response song.

I'll agree that the back ground dancers are a bit cheesy.. but she did some awesome vocal looping that was solely her no technology.. it was impressive

i love it. i liked whokill better too but niknak is good too.
They are a bit overplayed at the moment on sirius so I don't listen to them otherwise.

Exactly. That's what drew me in. She doesn't need all that other stuff because what she does by herself is so impressive.
