Today, we celebrate the release of our 500th Tiny Desk concert. It's amazing that something that started as a bit of a wisecrack has been so widely embraced by artists and fans. In 2008 at SXSW in Austin, NPR Music's Stephen Thompson and I met up to see singer Laura Gibson. Laura was so quiet, and the crowd was so loud and rude - something about a March basketball game - that Stephen jokingly asked her to come play at my desk so we could hear her. My lightbulbs went off, and a month later, Laura came to D.C.; I was ready with a couple of cameras, a microphone, my desk and a chair.
In the years since, we've had the privilege of enjoying intimate moments with Adele, Tom Jones, T-Pain, The Tallest Man On Earth, Mavis Staples, Phoenix, Reggie Watts, Andrew W.K., Kacey Musgraves, John Legend, Ralph Stanley, Sylvan Esso, Lianne La Havas and 486 more. It's a list that includes opera singers, Romanian brass bands, legendary bluegrass singers and pickers, a Colombian jazz harpist, a bagpiper, legends of country, jazz, rock, R&B... and, most importantly, artists unknown.
This Tiny Desk Concert with The Arcs is a perfect intersection of the known and the unknown. The band is headed by Dan Auerbach, whom we know from The Black Keys. It's also fronted by Richard Swift, one of the best modern producers of intriguing pop music; he can be found on drums in The Arcs alongside a contemporary R&B drumming legend in Homer Steinweiss, known for his work in The Dap-Kings and with Amy Winehouse. It's a bundle of talent that also includes the Mariachi band Flor de Toloache, which provides backing vocals and plays violin, trumpet and guitar. The songs from The Arcs' album Yours, Dreamily provide a finely crafted blend of soul and pop, with enough playfulness to keep it fun, not perfect.
That's the spirit of the Tiny Desk: It's casual, with a mix of artistry and adventure that's different from hearing a record or seeing a band on a big stage. It's a tiny window that's both intimate and a bit awkward - and always revealing and entertaining.
Yours, Dreamily, is available now.

That lead singer should collaborate with Pat Carney. They'd probably make some good stuff together
Yeah I wonder if they've ever met
I don't think they'd succeed :)
Username47948 i was thinking jack white but pat is cool too
They should name the band The Black Keys
Rayyan Khan
Whys nobody like the white ones
White keys 🔑
Rest in peace, Richard Swift.
His work is genius, years ahead of the curve.
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:
Dan Auerbach - Vocals/Guitar
Richard Swift - Percussion
Homer Steinweiss - Keys
Julie Acosta - Trumpet
Shae Fiol - Vihuela
Mireya Ramos - Violin
RIP Richard Swift
Not Homer. That’s Leon Michels
Gosh these ladies are beautiful. Especially the red headed one
+gulftacula Her name is Shae Fiol
I watched this one Black Keys interview where Dan said "If you ever see us wearing sunglasses in doors, it's because we're making fun of ourselves." but for some reason, it doesn't feel like the case
Flashbulb Memory the arcs provides a separate "alter ego dan" whom is completely different from the dan of the black keys
Wyatt Martin alright I can dig it
@@wyattmartin4826 I always assume someone wearing sunglasses indoors has either had a little bit to drink or smoke or is recovering from a hangover
It helps with being nervous playing in front of people. Most performers won't admit it, but it truly helps being comfortable to perform
For some reason I feel like Dan Auerbach sings about pistols a lot.
I know right??!!! :)
+twitchie27 Someone call Sigmund Freud...
+twitchie27 ten cent pistol, pistol made of bone, chulahoma had a pistol on the cover...
+Harrison Jones stack shot billy in the back of the head with a 45 pistol....
Maybe he's a pistol enthusiast... Who knows with Dan Auerbach? But yeah that's true he does lmao
Here's for 500 more!
One of my fav albums of 2015
I love these "Tiny Desk" concerts! They introduce me to many FANTASTIC artists!
+Tyler Scott I love Tiny Desk Concert so much for that reason. I recently found "Gondola Sessions" to be a great place to find wonderful artists too. :)
Dan Auerbach = Underated god. The genius. And the bandit
Love watching Richard Swift, what a cool musician to have had in a band! I,m sure if there is another spirit dimension he will be fondly received by the greats that also graced our ears with a higher understanding of musical harmonies... RIP dude
I love the unplugged versions of these songs! They should be made available for purchase!
R.I.P Richard Swift, may God have him in His glory :(
How can one downvote this? Dan's got soul, man.
After 5 months, this is still my favorite tiny desk concert. It's amazing.
I love "Stay In My Corner".
Amazing song asking for and promising relational commitment. This is love!
i highly recommend that you see this band live. i've gone twice and they absolutely killed both times
Oh man !! We need A LOT MORE of The Arcs music, hope they record again another album, even if its only in memory of Richard Swift :'(
surprise! check their social media accounts :D
@@danistolo WOW !!
@@faunoram have you heard the album? So good!
@@thatcokestuff Yeah ! The new album is fire !
Personally, I think this version of "pistol made of bones" is waaaay better than the studio version.
So smooth AF.. love it.
Agree 100%
My only issue with Tiny Desk is how amazing some of the versions of songs are, and I just wish I could get them on Spotify. But instead I have to just keep coming back to the videos.
I would love it if someone could edit a copy of pistol made of bones from this video to just a video of only this version of Pistol Made Of Bones. Or has this already been done? Thanks in advance.
That version of Outta My Mind was great. I really felt outta my mind.
Love this channel. Not only does it get me into incredible music that I was missing, they still go and get the bands I already loved. Something tells me they just have good taste.
i thought they took auditions
00:43 pistol made of bones
04:21 stay in my corner
08:23 outta my mind
when i first saw this video, I fell in love with the curly hair latina. 3-4 years later, I'm still in love with her.
RIP Richard Swift
im in love with the trumpet girl
franko forest ikr? She's really hot
I love how they can make the same song sound so different every time. And each new time it still sounds amazing.
The first song is absolutely amazing, the lyrics flow so well.
The sound engineer behind this is genius! Pure perfection
Poor old Dan has been bullied on how his eyes look like their majorly sleep deprived, so he's gone and wore some sunnies.😂
Gosh, Dan can do no wrong, his voice is just amazing. I really need to check this mariachi band out, they're awesome
Thanks so very much Bob Boilen. With Tiny Desk you created something special and unique, a show that gives credit to the whole NPR staff for participative excellence.... always my first stop when looking for hot new sounds. What a brilliant pairing, Dan Auerbach and Flor de Toloache.
Bruh! Mariachi Flor de Toloache!
Right!!!?? I was like, "the guy from the black keys and the all girl mariachi band!?" You can't ask for more diversity.
They recorded the whole album with him...it's dope AF.
This was always one of my favourites Tiny Desk Concerts ever. And now when I reproduce it and hear Richard Swift voice is very emotional. Rest in peace, phenomenon of the music ❤
First and foremost:
Congratulations to NPR and the entire Tiny Desk staff for 500 episodes of quality musical performances. I can only hope for 500 more.
How do I even start to describe my gratefulness and admiration for the Tiny Desk series? There's been so many episodes that have enriched my musical life through enhancing the appreciation of artists I already knew and loved, by showing me their intimate side. And there have been just as many happy new discoveries that I've learned about thanks to this show.
A few memories stand out for me: I can remember crying like a baby when I heard Ages & Ages play 'Divisionary' for the first time. I can remember how exciting it was to see the all-star cast of The Watkins Family Hour all at the same time. I remember how humanizing it was to watch David Dondero perform. I was struck by the beauty of Jackson Browne's performance. I was instantly made of fan of Anthony D'Amoto after his. I remember being so excited to see Conor Oberst's pop up as an artist! I remember being confused but ultimately enthralled by The Dirty Three, who left me craving more. The Internet blew me away, Daughter blew me away, Banks blew me away.
The list goes on and on, and in an effort to stop the rambling I'll just say: Thank you, thank you, thank you! This series is near & dear to my heart and I can't wait to see what success lies ahead for it in the future.
All the best,
a fan from TX
Dafuq.. Dan Auerbach?! Has another group and it's amazing too? NPR, thanks again for a great musical discover.
+Agu Luque Just a bit of a side-projec while Pat's arm recovers. I saw these guys live and they're so good.
It's okay though, Dan Auerbach can do nothing wrong.
RIP Swift. I always find myself going back to this video to watch it. Swift was so talented 😭
I wish I could have this in a Vinyl format. Love it.
Damn! Those harmonies on Stay in My Corner are angelic live. A little reminiscent of Demon Days by The Gorillaz. Sounds sick!
I keep rewatching this over and over and over. This and the new Shakey Graves tiny desk concerts.
Favorite version of these songs
Stay in My Corner sounds so sweet with the ladies backing vocals
I am so happy they did a Tiny Desk Concert! They absolutely ROCKED at the 9:30 club.
+Matt DiNuzzo I was there too!
These renditions of the original songs are soooooooo GOOOD!!!! The Mariachi Flor de Toloache addition makes everything come together so nicely and so beautifully. Makes me feel things man. ;)
LOL. Swift in the corner with his Ipad.
RIP
:(
Congrats NPR! Been following since 2013! :)
Just bought my brother their first album on vinyl for Christmas, psyched to see them in a tiny desk concert!!
Just came across this a week ago and have been watching it on repeat ever since. So good.
Recordando esta grandiosa sesión, próximo a deleitarnos una vez más con el nuevo álbum de The Arcs. 🤤❤️
I really wish the album version of "stay in my corner" was as smooth as this version is.
So much agreed!!! This version is just so smooth.
This is one of my favourite live performances on TH-cam.
I am so late to this party but wow! Love the Arcs and the Keys
I have listened to so many NPR Tiny Desk Concerts. Never imagined Dan's band would be their magnum opus. Yet it is. Yet, it, is.
God damn, this is so good. I could spend the whole day watching them jamming, Cheers.
The red head! 💜
All these songs are classic
I am totally taken by the women of Flor de Toloache. He’s lucky to have them in his project.
Richard Swift, RIP
Bob Boilin is the rare example of someone who looks exactly like he sounds.
Que buen ensamble , Dan es de los mejores de su generación y en combinación con las chicas de flor de toloache logra una muy interesanye propuesta . Felicitaciones a The Arcs y también a Tiny Desk por tan interesantes presentaciones .
Just arrived here ,never to late to appreciate great tunes ,love from Norwich England
Simply the best window into seeing long admired performers and discovering new artists as yet little known in Europe. Keep it up!
This guy looks like the lead singer from the black keys!
bluedudeinahole1 I wonder why
Wait has anyone noticed that the guy from Foo Fighters looks like the guy from Kurt Coby and the Grungy Bunch?
They even have the same name!
I wonder if they are related!
God damn beautiful.
Im in Love with the Mariachi section
Love these guys!, great fan of Dan Auerbach but these guys have something specail together ...I keep on enjoying the music, most of all the feeling
rocking that santo domingo pueblo thunderbird!! pueblo represent!
Dan Auerbach is everything
My heart got stolen by the 3 girls.
I'm looking forward to seeing the Black Keys in November!
NPR has the best sound engineers in the business, not only does this particular video sound amazing but of these bands sound better here then they do on their albums.
The girls are amazingly awesome! So is the the electric guitar player, keyboard dude !
gosh da shortie with the trumpet is smokin hot!
Listen to the arcs with the mariachi flor de toloache playing and singing together is something so terrific. That was a really great performance.
Pleasant playful music for smooth good days in Los Angeles
Congrats Tiny Desk, a series that might be around a tiny desk, has shared music around the world from the world behind the desk.
congratulations! Tiny Desk the concerts you present are great!
Conocí a The Arcs casi por azar y ha sido para mí una grata sorpresa. Una mezcla perfecta de instrumentos vintage con efectos actuales, una gran voz y muy buenas letras. I met The Arcs almost by chance and it has been a pleasant surprise for me. A perfect mix of vintage instruments with current effects, a great voice and very good lyrics.
Pistol Made of Bones is an ABSOLUTE classic 💯
I love the music, and the mariachi outfits on the the gals..nice touch. If you make them wear them you all should! Los Tigres Del Norte LOL! Seriously, you all are awesome. If you ever come through New Mexico I will be sure to be there and tell my friends.
Happy 500th episode guys!!! i love your show and hope for 500 more episodes n.n
this "pistol made of bones" is WAY better than the studio version
I rather the studio version because of the raaaaaa shouts 😂
Soooooo dope
Dan Auerbach, dude from Black Keys, repping for Akron with Mariachi Flor de Toloache. Love this
NPR Tiny Desk Concert forever!!!!! Love what you do!!!!
Listening to this because there's nothing I want more than another black keys album...
I love the whole of this, but the tremendously talented trio of girls, is the icing on the cake. 👏🏻
Flor De Toloache!
I just started watching Tiny desk concerts, I’m hooked great artists great sounds
What a fantastic band, and a fantastic performance. Saw them live at the ryman, great show.
I like these songs from this group, stay,
They are so much better live, Dan doesn't need producing to make magical music!
One of my favorite bands Dan was in, The Arcs.
I’d love to see them tour with the Black Keys.
Today i listened a song by change from my discover weekly on Spotify. The song is Broken Singer Blues from Richard Swift. I don't know anything about Richard Swift but i watched this video maybe a year ago. And now i found out he passed away, i'm really really sorry.
If you want to listen Richard Swift's latest album, here:
open.spotify.com/album/1T764WfpIEjIxme1YdUEzF?si=nWLsUZPvTViKFSCbqKoPrA
Those girls are such good singers amazing!!!!
i feel honored to be able to see this band in New Orleans before Richard Swift passed and this band vanished.
Found these guys through you and they are my favorite group now, thanks for more live stuff! Absolutely great.
Mariachi Flor de Toloache NYC 😉👌
Areli Peñ
that was a hell of a desk pop.
I guess Dan was like, "Fuck drums; I don't need a drummer." *sips tea*
Stay in my corner is so underappreciated 🎉
Love this version of Pistol Made of Bones
