Meanwhile they used one of their song as the ''credits'' at the end of every Tiny desk concert for a while. So I supposed they did enjoy their amazing performance.
I love how the bassist is always checking in with his moustache, soothing it, making sure it's ok with what's going on around. A Highly Sensitive Moustache is often seen as being as much a curse as a blessing, but it looks like they've forged a strong and committed bond. I could only wish the same had happened for some others; Friedrich Nietzsche's tragic relationship with his face pet comes to mind.
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are: Zac Little - Bass, Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar Maryn Jones - Strumstick, Bass Steva Jacobs - Electric Guitar Jon Meador - Acoustic Guitar, Strumstick Matthew O'Conke - Drums
Exactly. I just found it this channel this week and im in love. Im from Brasil and i've never heard about Saintseneca and it is a great indie folk song. We want more!!!
Saw these guys at nelsonville music fest a couple years ago. They blew my gourd open with their awesome. Later that night in the campground dance tent Mr.Mustache drunkenly climbed a tent support and did a surprise trust fall into a small group of myself and about 10 other people dancing. We danced around holding him above our heads for a minute before setting him down. Great fun!
one of my favorite bands of all time: a rotating cast of multi-instrumentalists and lush vocal harmonies. All of their albums are on heavy rotation in my world.
from beginning of the video i was wondering where is the guy voice coming from. later i see the bass player lol, for his big mustache i couldn't see his lip moving lol
my sister has been to a couple of their concerts and theyre basically empty (to her advantage) because of how unknown they are, i cant imagine them staying that way for long though, with such genuinely beautiful music.
Zac Little (red hair, mustache), in addition to his playing a ton of instruments and being the consistent force behind Saintseneca over the last 15ish years, also makes some incredible artwork for their releases. And Maryn Jones, who is featured here and was only to be with the band for a few more years, has a handful of great solo releases.
feg it sounds like u genuinely hate women. She's way more successful than you will ever be! ALSO, I saw you in FL (2017 i think) and your music fucking sucks :)
I LOVE the way Maryn feeds off Zach's guitar. Their voices together are those that only angels can make. I hope that they get together again soon! Xoxo
The first time I saw this band, they were so jammin'. It was before they had a drummer, just stomping and singing their hearts out in a church rec. room. Berea Fest V, if I'm not mistaken.
I've watched quite a few of these tiny desk concerts over the last few days. This one surprisingly ranks near the top. I'm glad to have discovered Saintseneca here.
This is my favorite band, I heard they recorded a Tiny Desk episode and I have been anxiously awaiting it This is so great. They are so fantastic live.
Nice use of the strumstick with capo....sets in the mix well...been a proud owner of one myself for nearly twenty years and havent ever seen one in a group setting like this... Loved the vibe - u guys r awesome saintseneca... Thanks for this NPR!
Wow!!! Another great discovery (on my part--they've obviously already been discovered by others) of another really cool band at the Tiny Desk. Thanks for this!!! I love how they share instruments. Made my day...Here's what we'll take away from this ladies & gentlemen. "Do music your own way. You'll enjoy it more and so will the rest of us..." Thanks Again!!! I
I just love these guys so much. Caught them at Sunset Tavern in Seattle last year and they were just so amazing! Hope when the dark cloud of COVID lifts they come back to see us.
Legend has it that if you say "Saintseneca" three times while staring at your reflection in a puddle in the forest, a pair of cutoff jean shorts will magically appear on you...possibly on top of the ones you're already wearing

Saw them live last night since they opened for Tigers Jaw (who I originally came to see). Saintseneca was amazing and had so much positive, good energy. Hope to see hem get more publicity in the near future.
Oh my goodness gracious I love that I found this band listening to one of my favorite Tiny desk: Leon Bridges, it played at the end of credits. Love it too
Awesome how she's scared shitless and yet when it comes down to it, she performs like ah mac. Brave people are few and far between; this chica is one of those rare human beings. #notbraveifnotscared
This tiny desk is the reason blood bath is my favorite song of theirs. Great stuff. Met them at a show in September last year as well - Zac is a cool dude

The NPR crew doesn't appreciate this performance enough At least compared to other performances I've seen. This is top notch.
forreal, idk what their deal is but their applause after each song sounds so disinterested
Hipster music was not as common back then...people felt guilty to applaud it openly (even if they liked it)
@@hetanewhatchu talkin about this was in the hipsters hay day
absolutely lovely
Meanwhile they used one of their song as the ''credits'' at the end of every Tiny desk concert for a while. So I supposed they did enjoy their amazing performance.
This version of 'Happy Alone' is so much better than the studio recording.
Agreed!
Absolutely
I know so many songs played there I prefer to the record versions!
Yes indeed, and that voice though. 😲
Well observed me ole mucker
I love how the bassist is always checking in with his moustache, soothing it, making sure it's ok with what's going on around. A Highly Sensitive Moustache is often seen as being as much a curse as a blessing, but it looks like they've forged a strong and committed bond. I could only wish the same had happened for some others; Friedrich Nietzsche's tragic relationship with his face pet comes to mind.
greatest
Aaawwwww!!! A furry ‘face pet’.
As the full version of the old saying goes. "Behind every great man is a woman and behind every great moustache is a man (usually)"
That’s a First World War moustache!
I think he’s the frontman also it’s v weird you mention Nietzsche
I'm convinced his mustache is like a harmonica and as he sings it filters through and makes his voice more beautiful
Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are:
Zac Little - Bass, Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar
Maryn Jones - Strumstick, Bass
Steva Jacobs - Electric Guitar
Jon Meador - Acoustic Guitar, Strumstick
Matthew O'Conke - Drums
This is exactly why I am subscribed to NPR. Discovering awesome music like this.
Agreed; however, when you read that with "Daria's" voice it seems incredibly sarcastic...
JMarquiseee lol
Exactly. I just found it this channel this week and im in love. Im from Brasil and i've never heard about Saintseneca and it is a great indie folk song.
We want more!!!
With you on that... Try DakhaBrakha if you haven't already!
I share the exactly same opinion :)

Antonio Padia Me too
I just audibly laughed
He's got the full crazy Nietzsche
Hahaha, I read this comment before I seen the bass player, that's some Tash alright
I was checking the comments to see if I was the only one who couldn't make out who was singing in the beginning. :P
Vincent Van Gogh on Bass
Liam Keith He really developed an ear for music
Met nog 2 oren ha!
that was the first tough when i see this video, hahaha
Wkwkwk
ok good im not the only one
This band is ridiculously talented.
my sister has been to a couple of their concerts and theyre basically empty (to her advantage) because of how unknown they are, i cant imagine them staying that way for long though, with such genuinely beautiful music.
Punk will never live
+Bradley Rigol ?
+brandon detraglia I'm confused too
Old Bird Wing the only reason I know of them is because they opened for a concert I went to last year
I've been to one of their concerts and I can confirm that, pity because this is one of my favorite groups
Zac Little (red hair, mustache), in addition to his playing a ton of instruments and being the consistent force behind Saintseneca over the last 15ish years, also makes some incredible artwork for their releases. And Maryn Jones, who is featured here and was only to be with the band for a few more years, has a handful of great solo releases.
One of my all-time favorite bands, everything they've done is so beautiful and moving
2024 Still one of my fave Tiny Desk performances😊
I honestly didn’t realize he was singing until the second verse.
It’s just his mustache singing
Same here!
I was on the same page.
This must be the 100th time i watch this performance.
Apeirofobia Good stuff, I just found them.
isd my 5th, and i plan on joining ur record for the sake of my heart and ears :)
Yes, they ARE that good
Cunrrently close to that figure too
Maryn played in our living room back in like 2008 or something. So happy to hear her voice again.
Smashing
+Rusty Clanton It's always funny to see a fellow friend in a random place on the internet! hah
Rusty Clanton Why am I not surprised to see you here?
XD I got it on the second look. Oh my...
wish i could smashing that hipster chick over the head with a shovel. amazing vibes!!
feg it sounds like u genuinely hate women. She's way more successful than you will ever be! ALSO, I saw you in FL (2017 i think) and your music fucking sucks :)
when he plays the intro to fed up with hunger like it's just whatever. respect.
It really isn't that difficult...
These guys slept on my living room floor once.
shoud have given them your bed
Hahaha right on, I bet they've slept on a lot of living room floors.
@@KH63896 Lol . Its slumbrous parteca
Did your floor announce its veganism the next morning? Haha!
Your living room carpet just made history!!
I came to the party a little late, but these guys are brilliant!!!
This video must be old. Van Gogh still has both his ears in this
Ah this caught me off guard. I lost it for about 5 minutes at this. Thank you.
🤣😅☝️
I LOVE the way Maryn feeds off Zach's guitar. Their voices together are those that only angels can make. I hope that they get together again soon! Xoxo
The first time I saw this band, they were so jammin'. It was before they had a drummer, just stomping and singing their hearts out in a church rec. room. Berea Fest V, if I'm not mistaken.
Just saw them live last night! Very cool band, and even got to talk to them after. Amazing show!
Exactly what I needed on a wet and miserable Wednesday, here in England.
''Fed up with Hunger '' bring tears to my eyes.
Luis Alfonso Rojas me too.
He looks like the Lorax
He speaks for the tree
Lilf!
Anyone ever say he wasn't? Ever seen em in the same craft cocktail bar? Hmmmm...ya suspect.
Top 10 TDC'S
This made me lol
For the longest time I thought the lead singer looked really familiar. Just remembered: Asterix! Great songs though!
I've watched quite a few of these tiny desk concerts over the last few days. This one surprisingly ranks near the top. I'm glad to have discovered Saintseneca here.
8:58 is the best part. 1, 2, 1234 waaaaaaaaiiiiiit ooooooonnnn
DARK_LORD1919 totally dope!!!
Blew my fuckin mind dude, i was like WHAAAAT
This is my favorite band, I heard they recorded a Tiny Desk episode and I have been anxiously awaiting it This is so great. They are so fantastic live.
ive watched this video at least once a month for 4 years banging set
Nice use of the strumstick with capo....sets in the mix well...been a proud owner of one myself for nearly twenty years and havent ever seen one in a group setting like this... Loved the vibe - u guys r awesome saintseneca... Thanks for this NPR!
The fact that he sounds exactly the same live is amazing ,,, hope these guys come by my area some day
Came here because of a 10 year old post I made about seeing them at Strange Matter in Richmond, VA. Still love their sound
6:30 When the band doesn't give you an instrument in the song so you stand awkwardly trying to focus on anything
I would have given him some close-ups.
He felt so self-conscious he grabbed a broom from the office to hold 7:30
@@seanmatthewking 😂😂😂 underrated comment
someday drums may be considered musical instruments
@@CommercialVehicle I mean he's not the drummer, drummers just chilling on his stool behind them.
Wow!!! Another great discovery (on my part--they've obviously already been discovered by others) of another really cool band at the Tiny Desk. Thanks for this!!! I love how they share instruments. Made my day...Here's what we'll take away from this ladies & gentlemen. "Do music your own way. You'll enjoy it more and so will the rest of us..." Thanks Again!!! I
Their albums are fantastic... Just an amazing band.
I like their harmonies. :)
Their voices are so unique but match so well! It's crazy!
2019 - Here I am.. loving this.
I just love these guys so much. Caught them at Sunset Tavern in Seattle last year and they were just so amazing! Hope when the dark cloud of COVID lifts they come back to see us.
Can't wait to see them
She's so cute and has such a lovely soft voice
I got a new crush
The bass line in that first song is so killer 😲
Thanks Tiny Desk crew! Another gem on my spotify upload selection! When I look it up, I feel like a music genius!
That guy on bass must have a hard time eating soup.
It is called a soup trap for a reason.
I love that 90% of the comments are just about his moustache
A bubble tea straw, I guess.
It's the flavor saver!
Probably has a good relationship with a straw.
They couldn't give the poor guy a tambourine or something?
Now thats a proper mustache
found these guys on spotify... love them. so. good.
found then out cause they're opening for Yuck. they sound great!
Legend has it that if you say "Saintseneca" three times while staring at your reflection in a puddle in the forest, a pair of cutoff jean shorts will magically appear on you...possibly on top of the ones you're already wearing
Low-key freaked me what you jus said
The Seneca Curse. That could be what it’s called? Lol
Music like this keeps me on my feet through the day
It's a matter of time and they will be called hipsters. I like their uniqueness, as what they are doing is not that common. Good job NPR!
Hahaha its been 4 years since your comment and that was exactly what my girlfriend said haha
They are hipsters. There's nothing wrong with it besides the scene being saturated with mediocre music and fashion. But this band is pretty cool.
When we're barely awake
And the heat of the day is weight
I wait to sate my sorry longings for your rolling over
And yet, here I sweat
Somehow familiar with needs that I never met
How does one so young become so fed up with hunger?
No I know I
Know I know
I'm safe from you want
No I, know I
Know I, know I
Got hallways I could haunt
And I know it's all for you
And I know it's raining flaming sulfur fumes
When we're doused in the same flames
Burning without hesitating
Wet beds spread with flesh that's quenchless
And I miss behavior
No I know I
Know I know I
Want what you want
No I, know I
Know I, know I
Got hallways I could haunt
And I know it's all for you
And I know it's raining flaming sulfur fumes
Long days I spend in the businesses of
Low wage heavy with this listlessness so
Don't my dollars weight the same as any other?
Don't that buy me rights to buy what I desire?
Saw them live last night since they opened for Tigers Jaw (who I originally came to see). Saintseneca was amazing and had so much positive, good energy. Hope to see hem get more publicity in the near future.
Man seeing a band live was a magical thing.
Not long now brother 👍
I saw three last week and it gave me back my will to live
These guys sound so good.
Let's go!!!! I had yo go so far back to find this gem!!! L9ved this so much. So glad it's still here
great wordplay in their lyrics; fanstastic writing and amazing compositions!
Bassist playing power chords, sick
Wow I absolutely love that song "Happy Alone".
I'll be honest; came for the jean shorts, stayed for the haircuts.🐉
Bands sound so much better at the Tiny Desk, love these shows
Kinda like new order and bright eyes had a child…fantastic
Hey, Bright Eyes has kind of a unique singing style
There's some the Decemberists in there too
I never knew about you guys before I saw this video. I am now a fan for good. Love the music! Thanks for sharing!
Good to see a stick dulcimer. Adds a different dynamic. Saintseneca, love you guys.
I make it a point to see these guys every time they're in Pittsburgh. So happy they have a Tiny Desk
Just stumbled across this video. What a find!
Simply great handmade music , wonderful and it makes me very happy !!!!
It's my hope that one day his mustache will get the courage up to fly away
😂
The look he gives her at 5:05 omg!
Minimal-ish Good catch.
+Minimal-ish I think she sang the part a bit early and he noticed : )
adorable :)
I prefer the love story :D
I think he got there a bit late. Adorable anyway! ahahah
Oh my goodness gracious I love that I found this band listening to one of my favorite Tiny desk: Leon Bridges, it played at the end of credits. Love it too
Since 2015 I'm here
J'adore les musiciens qui colorient instantanément mon humeur et mon esprit du jour..merci Saintseneca ! ❤
My favourite part is the guitarist on the left standing quietly and obediently on the side as the rest of the band plays the second song
Awesome how she's scared shitless and yet when it comes down to it, she performs like ah mac. Brave people are few and far between; this chica is one of those rare human beings. #notbraveifnotscared
this is unbelievably beautiful'!!!!,.............
Absolutely flawless. Great performance guys
What a beautiful voice!
Amazing, thank you for sharing this with us!
my favourite tiny desk concert * i like your music * especially the second song *
La verdad es que este grupo es de lo mejor que he oído desde hace mucho, energía y desparpajo a raudales!
This tiny desk is the reason blood bath is my favorite song of theirs. Great stuff. Met them at a show in September last year as well - Zac is a cool dude
i saw this video a lot of times .... but I just realized that he is standing on a platform! :)
Nada Simple. Muy Buena musica. Bien elaborada
Felicitaciones
Congratulation
Still listening ? Here in 2019.

The very moment he started singing I was off the floor.
really reminds me of someone still loves you boriys yeltsin
Really catchy, really fun, really accessible. I like this group!
Great recording.
You're drenched in blood

HAPPY ALONE
Guilty pleasures at best
Gouge the floors in our chests
And this the only vestige left
Next time will be better I guess
And I'd be alone
Happy alone
I'd be alone
Happy alone
Call what you want
And I'll be alone
To presuppose this precipice
Could be climbed by any one of us
That was my misjudgement
I guess I best just shut up and face that
I'll be alone
Happy alone
I'll be alone
Happy alone
Call what you want
And I'll be alone
I am not one to
Be three-fourths sore
When I crave a split lip
I'll get it quick
And I'll be alone
Happy alone
I'll be alone
Happy alone
Call what you want
And I'd be alone
FED UP WITH HUNGER
We were barely awake
In the
Heat of the days, wake high,
Wake to say my sorry longings for your rolling over
And yet
Here I sweat,
Somehow familiar with needs that are never met
How does one so young become
So fed up with hunger
Know I, Know I, know I know I
Safe from you one
Know I, Know I, know I know I
Got it always I could hunt
And I know
It's all for you.
And I know
It's raining, flaming, sulfur fumes
We were doused in the same flame
Burning without hestitating
When that's spread with
Flesh that's quenchless
And I miss
Behaving
Know I, Know I, know I know I
Want what you want
Know I, Know I, know I know I
Got it…
BLOOD BATH
You're drenched in blood

I love them!! great performance
found them in spotify, good band i love them
This is the best version of this song Happy Alone.
Happy Alone is a true bop
