I had the rare privilege of acting alongside these fine humans when we were at Grossmont College in 2007. We studied under a classically trained mime by the name of Jerry Hager, among many other talented teachers. Jon rode a unicycle to class, David always had a voice like honey poured over thunder, and Rabbit was always stealing the scene. Cheers fellows!!
I love how Spine hits soprano notes in some songs, baritone in others, and goes into a throat voice in Honeybee. It's a very difficult sound to produce and having the ability to do so plus having a wide vocal range while sounding sexy as hell is amazing to me. Also doing that while playing one of the many instruments he's skilled in and keeping up the persona of Spine.
@@donnahilton471 For the majority of the song yes it was but towards the end in the background, spine does what's called throat singing and it's a very difficult sound that's used almost like an instrument. I was giving props to the skill it takes to do all of it at the same time.
You were 53, presumably 59 years old now. You're not the oldest of old. Not by a long shot. Just because you had unprotected sex early in life and you taught your kid to do the same thing, doesn't make you old.
I was listening my mix on youtube, and went over like 2 hours on the playlist, and then this song came on my playlist, and now i love every song of them, fire fire is my favourite by now
They’re all silly and dramatic when the epic and cool part starts, but I’d like to appreciate Rabbit not only getting a trench coat, putting on the goggles, and getting a personal dramatic breeze, but also putting on like 6 belts.
I must confess. I have known this song for a while, but I still LOOSE MY SHIT when spines goes from high-pitched to a very deep voice in one second around 2:18. This man is too awesome for this world
I've watched this so many times and I think this is the first time I actually realised the drummer had a pink hat on out of nowhere and the other two were slowly looking at him like "what the hell!?"
Holy crap his voice!!! I just found this group 3 minutes ago. I am hooked. I feel cheated that I’ve never heard of them until tonight. And their harmonies… **chef kiss**
***** You have to force any specific tone you do, range doesn't matter. He can hit those notes, he can hit them naturally, and he can hit them really damn well.
***** I wouldn't say REALLY hard. He and Rabbit have the same (or very similar) vocal range and can go lower, as evidence by Rabbit's lower bg singing in Suspender Man, and that has to be forced. It's still really damn impressive; Most people can't sing well in that range.
This band's vocals and songs make me feel so safe and at home. It's a rough time in my life- and will be for the next two months while my love is away at basic military training. He introduced me to SPG, and ive been listening to them nonstop ever since he left. You calm the storm inside, SPG.
Yeah, my sister is here helping me out- and this band in general is keeping my head up. im sleeping to their music XD their harmonies somehow calm my anxiety and make me smile. they really are special.
How to, make up videos do exist. Good luck! @ a local syfy convention I admired a vendors Spine like make up she had on. As I Am nearing 50 the 20 odd year old was impressed I knew who he was.
Likewise. I've got a fanbot (makeup and clothes already obtained) that I've named Bazoo. SPG encourages folks to make their own automaton characters within the universe they've created, and I absolutely love it.
I would love it if I could cosplay as Rabbit with the trenchcoat outfit. That's the most badass outfit ever. I also really like her "Star Scrap" outfit.
@@athenathegreatandpowerful6365 I disagree, I think it's her HRT drugs that have changed her voice but she sounds great. She gets a really unique sound. Trans singers sound fucking cool.
I did a dance to this when I was in performance boarding school/rehab 8 years ago, about escaping the weight of trauma. I literally had chairs tied to me and untied them throughout the dance. This song now makes me cry. I come back every now and then to remind myself what I've been through and how strong I've had to be since. Also it's just a really damn good song.
The Spine has a magnificent voice. He has a crooner type of voice (that deep voice....), but such a vast range as well. He is also as handsome as can be!! Just wow. This is my favorite song by them
Too bad I just discovered these guys, they're now my favorite band. Spine's voice gives me chills, and those robotic movements are so smooth, did they go to school to learn that?
Yep. They did go to school. Grossmont Community College, Jerry Hager’s mime class. Although the newest robot, Hatchworth, did not, but obviously the twins gave 'em some protips. :)
Well...I'm gonna have the opening riff in my head and every time it plays I will have to drag my hand across the brim of my invisible hat. That way I don't stick out like a sore thumb.
This is my favorite music video. First of all I just can't take my eyes off of Rabbit in this video, I love every single movement she makes, it's so amazing to watch. Some other small details I love: - any time The Spine says "baby" - The Spine's costume changes to black and white during the bridge 2:38 - The costumes progressively adding more accessories (glasses, jackets, and belts oh my) 3:11 - 3:27 the twins slowly look at The Jon until he starts drumming again - 3:40 Rabbit's jacket blowing in the wind that's only affecting hers and not The Spine's - 3:44 melodica with distortion added???? These folks are just so cool, I can't get enough.
They are amazing. Ive been listening since I was in middle school and now that I’ve graduated college and come to understand just the level of musicality and talent these people have is so inspiring to me.
I love how people in the comments are so accepting of the transformation Rabbit has made. I usually see so many negative comments about whatever and everything, but SPG fans are "epic and so cool!" Spread the love!
Absolutely love them all...anyone who speaks ill about or towards Rabbit or others like her are low life scumbag pieces of shit...I respect all people and judge everyone by the merits of their actions, not sexual orientation or color... !MUCH LOVE FOR AND TO SPG AND ALL THE COOL PEOPLE WHO ADORE THEM!
Hey hey hey hey you last two - get fucked if that's how you're going to describe Isabella doing what she needs to to feel comfortable in her own damn skin. What, should she sacrifice her sense of who she is for your entertainment? The outfit, paint and vocals may have been more to YOUR liking before she came out, but I guarantee she's having a better time. And that's entirely your opinion - I personally love the new styles of clothing, paint and vocals. She's a woman trying to be herself, not a fucking "bad drag act." Go listen to 'Transform,' you dicks. Signed, another trans woman.
So I'm writing this essay for AP Biology, and this song came on. I was writing about the autonomic nervous system, when I looked up to find that I had written a whole paragraph with "automatonic" instead of autonomic xD Whoops
The one playing the bass guitar - their main drummer at that time. Samuel Luke. The one playing the electric guitar, their lead guitar player, is called Michael Reed. He's so, so talented, he can play practically anything.
+Slum Dweller I don't know where you got that idea. They just came out with a new 2-CD album, and I saw them live on Halloween. They're still touring and they even have two more albums coming out within the next year.
+Keidryn Winters Ain't picking a fight, but maybe slum dweller was meaning the line up change. I'm with both of you, like the original, but the revised is good, also.
This might be my favourite steam powered giraffe song! The harmonies are so pleasing and I love the octave changes it’s fun to sing, play, and just listen and be with.
spines falsetto is beautiful and his range is fully mixed he doesn't crack or experiences blocks when switching between his pitches he's really incredible
Lyrics: Ever since the first time I opened my eyes I've awakened to the same thing Other automaton friends roughly built like me The first time I opened my mouth to speak steam escaped to the air and black oil dripped from my lips and onto the ground Well daylight struck a chord with my photo-receptors Night greeted me with a sea of stars Our eyes all flashed blues and greens through the night It's just our Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic Electronic Harmonics People are soaring, always exploring, higher than they've ever been before But we are still down here, feet on the ground near what will rise us up with the rest Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic, mechanical in nature all the time And pulses are firing in our head wiring, guiding all our actions and beings It's just our Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic Electronic Harmonics I am not an unimaginable thing My thoughts are tangible though they're full of springs I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth They say Oh, oh it's so down, but baby it's sound makes your worries cease to pound And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights for some time just to be held tight And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song one that drifts on for so long And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive and pointed up shining light to the sky It's just our Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic Electronic Harmonics Epic and so cool Epic and so cool Epic and so cool Epic and so cool Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic Electronic Harmonics Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic Electronic Harmonics
I discovered them many years ago by searching for "I don't want to set the world on fire" covers... they performed it live at a zoo when upgrade was still in the band... it's not on their channel though...
Jillie Hagens The first time I listened to that part with my headphones on I got chills throughout my whole body. Not sure what about that part I like so much, just a really good piece of music.
I don't know if it is because of my particular personal moment in life, but these guys have really managed to struck a chord with me. They are far from what I expected when I decided to check out a "Steampunk band that move like robots", they're actually much better than I ever imagined. I admire people who can stick to what they want to do even while being aware that it won't be everybody's cup of tea.
I was lucky enough to see them at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irvine, California, in 2018, and their performance was AMAZING.I can "blame" my wife for that. She found them on the list of performers at the faire and thought they sounded interesting because of their name--also, I think she looked them up on TH-cam and listened to some of their music--plus, they're Steampunk, something she knew I liked, so she, told me, "You gotta check these guys out! They're cool and they're Steampunk robots! Right up your alley!" So we went. :-) Loved everything they played. The goofy stuff they did between songs, with "breakdowns" and needing to be "fixed", a robot "nurse" coming out to make quickie "repairs", the band talking about having only limited time in the Renaissance time period--they were obviously anachronisms traveling in time and space. LOL So much fun to see them in action. And the black member--I'm so sorry to have to describe that way, as I don't know his character's name--his voice is fucking astounding; he performed a song for the first time ever that he'd written, and it was GORGEOUS. Their costumes were really cool, too, lots of detail, and a lot of it looked like stuff I'd wear on pretty much a daily basis if I had it in my wardrobe. Ancient Goth over here. LOL So much fun to see them perform in person.
Ive listened to their music without realizing it was them. Been a unknowing fan for about 5 years before finding out who they were exactly last year. I'm playing though a whole playlist rn.
I'm a 51 year old mom who just found out about these guys in 2020. They truly are epic and just so damn cool!!! I wish I could see them live. They are the tonic for this sickening year.
srry, I dont know whats happening,im not posting this stupid spam post,i will never spam,in fact i didnt even know this song...can you help me,i already changed my password :(
Well this is one of the positive things about TH-cam. Discovering. Where in the world has this Band being. Why are they not yet a World Success. This is so different, this is Visual and musical Art.V
Yeeeeah...David's vocals... I would have NEVER found this band if my friends hadn't been playing his cover of Diamonds, the one day... Good grief, this man's voice is BEAUTIFUL...
I just was turned on to this musical sensation by Spotify, and I am so blown away by these siblings and their bandmates. I have not been able to stop watching these videos since I became aware of their existence. Their voices and lyrics, and showmanship, and back-stories continually sweep me away with each listen. So grateful to have had my ears and eyes blessed by this incredible group.
Fantastic job and truly an original artwork! Spending my evenings listening to Victorian steam powered robots singing are a necessity I didn't know I had until now. Cheers from Brazil.
I have listened to this song at least once a day for the past 2 weeks...I just can't get enough of it. I really love the way Rabbit moves in this, and The Spine's voice is just GOLDEN! I'm miss The Jon, I really thought he was great!
Whenever I sing along to this song and I'm a bit emotional it always makes me tear up a little, the bits about explaining what it's like to be mechanical/different get me, and something about singing that deep, too.
This is the first time I've listened to this band, and damn they are amazing :D Great music plus the steampunk aesthetic (I've always loved steampunk ^w^) just equals a very happy me as well as a new fan of the band.
WTG, guys!!!! You know you are big when your YT commercial before your song is a MOVIE TRAILER! However, I already knew you were big and I'm so glad I was able to meet you at Youmacon in Detroit! Love you new album and Bunny's art work is AMAZING! Keep up the GREAT work! :)
I had the rare privilege of acting alongside these fine humans when we were at Grossmont College in 2007.

Aww that’s amazing 😍
Beautiful. Love that for you
Honey poured over thunder, Games of thrones fan I take it.
I’m your sixtynineth like
"Jon rode a unicycle to class, David always had a voice like honey poured over thunder, and Rabbit was always stealing the scene". I love that! 😆😆
That rare musical group where a critic could call their live playing "robotic" and they would say: "yes, thank you".
I love how Spine hits soprano notes in some songs, baritone in others, and goes into a throat voice in Honeybee. It's a very difficult sound to produce and having the ability to do so plus having a wide vocal range while sounding sexy as hell is amazing to me. Also doing that while playing one of the many instruments he's skilled in and keeping up the persona of Spine.
Haha I'm just gonna pretend I know what you're talking about even though I have a vague idea
Honey Bee was rabbit's song, his/her vocals.
@@donnahilton471 For the majority of the song yes it was but towards the end in the background, spine does what's called throat singing and it's a very difficult sound that's used almost like an instrument. I was giving props to the skill it takes to do all of it at the same time.
@@donnahilton471 Honey Bee was Rabbit's solo, yes. And she did an amazing job! But they all had a hand in it too. Including Spine's throat singing.
I’m your fourhundredth like
3:20 Rabbit and Spine: *Put on Trench Coats*
Jon:
_I wanna be a cowboy, baby!_
*Kid Rock intensifies*
‘DIDJA MAKE THE SPORTS TEAM DIS YEAR, COWBOI?’ guess who said that to him.
"I have this hat and I'm going to use it, damn it!"
I'm a 53 year old grandmother. I just want you to know that your songs inspire even the oldest of old fogies
I know this comment is 5 years old, I just want you to know you’re really cool and I hope you’re doing ok! Have a nice day!
Nice
You were 53, presumably 59 years old now. You're not the oldest of old. Not by a long shot. Just because you had unprotected sex early in life and you taught your kid to do the same thing, doesn't make you old.
@@Vladutz.19 the age someone has a baby isn't what is most important and if u think that it is then u have a lot of growing up to do yourself
@@Vladutz.19 Wow I found Sir Buzz Killington - The rejected steampunk robot.
Their voice quality reminds me of old barbershop quartets. It's beautiful, soothing and the strange air they add to it is almost hypnotic.
Heh beep boop
exactly what I thought.
When I first heard brass goggles I actually mistook them for a barbershop quartet. I'm bad at listening and I didn't have the video till a week later
How has this existed for 7 years and never ended up on everyone's recommended? You fail, TH-cam, you fail big-time
I learned about them today from a fellow youtube commenter person on a Stawcrawler video....I am grateful, but ya, fail youtube fail, overall you fail
Just discovered them after listening to the Cog is Dead's 'Bad Guy'.
I was listening my mix on youtube, and went over like 2 hours on the playlist, and then this song came on my playlist, and now i love every song of them, fire fire is my favourite by now
I just found this band a few days ago when they showed up in my recommended! I've been missing out for so long.. :((
Right, i just found them a couple of months ago....... why have i missed all this?????
They’re all silly and dramatic when the epic and cool part starts, but I’d like to appreciate Rabbit not only getting a trench coat, putting on the goggles, and getting a personal dramatic breeze, but also putting on like 6 belts.
Watching Rabbit and The Jon overact while The Spine plays the straight man in this video always makes me smile XD
Whenever the spine goes higher than normal i'm like "who tf is that" and then i remember it's just the spine being a freaking badass1
He is a robot what do you expect?
Well I have a fairly large range musically so it's not impossible
Dezi Andy MOOD
I love the range he programed himself to have, lmao
@@lottnio8207 I dont think its computer enhanced much..Spine does have that range.
the fact that spine can literally jump that high and tuck them all the way up under him tells me that he is stupid tall. It's rather impressive.
I must confess. I have known this song for a while, but I still LOOSE MY SHIT when spines goes from high-pitched to a very deep voice in one second around 2:18. This man is too awesome for this world
he's a robot! ○3○
My heart melts every time!!!!!!!
Update : I still freak the fuck out I'll never get used to it
+Anon Unknown
He's a diamond
Helba187 lol
I am impressed by how exquisite their harmonies are.
Andey McFarlin the automatonic electronic ones especially.
I love how the silver guy's voice can be so soft and smooth as well as deep.
true
That's 'The Spine.' He's played by David Michael Bennett. (I got the middle name right, right?)
Ryan Krake
Right!
Clown P. Alright, thanks.
sexual orientation: the spine
Me
Sexual orientation: the black oil bit
Pretty straightforward.
Accurate
My biggest crush on someone I don't know personally is on The Spine ..like....nnnnghh
The phrase “epic and so cool” dates this so hard and I love it.
I've watched this so many times and I think this is the first time I actually realised the drummer had a pink hat on out of nowhere and the other two were slowly looking at him like "what the hell!?"
Holy crap his voice!!! I just found this group 3 minutes ago. I am hooked. I feel cheated that I’ve never heard of them until tonight. And their harmonies… **chef kiss**
Make sure you check out "honey bee", it's easily one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard.
Do automatons dream of steam-powered sheep?
Cool comment :)
or do steam-powered sheep dream of automatons :D
That reference though!!
Jason_c_o
Do automatrons even sleep?
Brilliant.
3:27 The Spine and Rabbit slowly turning to look at The Jon's ridiculously large hat 🤣🤣🤣
SPINE'S VOCAL RANGE THO.
it IS great. don't listen to Attack on Ass
***** You have to force any specific tone you do, range doesn't matter. He can hit those notes, he can hit them naturally, and he can hit them really damn well.

***** Gotta ask, you know, since you gotta say something; can you hit those ranges?
See I think David is more of a natural baritone really.
This band's vocals and songs make me feel so safe and at home. It's a rough time in my life- and will be for the next two months while my love is away at basic military training. He introduced me to SPG, and ive been listening to them nonstop ever since he left. You calm the storm inside, SPG.
awww.... Lynnie ... I miss youz and I didn't know madi went to basic. NO ONE EVER TALKS TO ME ANYMORE! :'(
im sorry sweetie! if you had a facebook or anything it'd be so much easier to talk. i'm hardly ever on google.

Rabbit looks swagalicious in those goggles and that trench coat
That is the only use of the word swag I will ever agree with ever.

I haven't heard this in a while.
I'm addicted again now.
Crabcakes.

I have a giraffe hat.
It doesn't have a brim.
But it's HELLA comfy.
-also I named it giraffe-o-
you read my mind

This is my favorite music video. First of all I just can't take my eyes off of Rabbit in this video, I love every single movement she makes, it's so amazing to watch.
Some other small details I love:
- any time The Spine says "baby"
- The Spine's costume changes to black and white during the bridge 2:38
- The costumes progressively adding more accessories (glasses, jackets, and belts oh my) 3:11
- 3:27 the twins slowly look at The Jon until he starts drumming again
- 3:40 Rabbit's jacket blowing in the wind that's only affecting hers and not The Spine's
- 3:44 melodica with distortion added????
These folks are just so cool, I can't get enough.
Rabbit is so powerful that she generates her own wind to command, thus directing it exclusively towards her for dramatic effect.
They are amazing. Ive been listening since I was in middle school and now that I’ve graduated college and come to understand just the level of musicality and talent these people have is so inspiring to me.
rabbit has the BEST facial expressions im kind of in love with her
Rabbit wasn’t built for war she was build to hold belts
She? No disrespect but isn't rabbit a guy? I haven't followed the band in years just came back for nostalgia
@@WhitneyDahlin Isabella came out as a trans woman in 2014 and Rabbit transitioned with her.

This might be my favourite steam powered giraffe song! The harmonies are so pleasing and I love the octave changes it’s fun to sing, play, and just listen and be with.
It’s epic. And sooo coool!
Shoutout to those who have been listening to SPG simce their local zoo gigs. An incredible band with incredibly talented people :)
spines falsetto is beautiful and his range is fully mixed he doesn't crack or experiences blocks when switching between his pitches he's really incredible
Lookin`shady Spine, with those glasses on XD
i think this is the first time ive ever seen Rabbitt actually WEARING the brass goggles!!! AWESOME!
4:34 Is The Spine secretly a frog?
My god he can jump high.
no, his springs don't have enough tension so he can jump higher. My robot in robotics class did the same thing. :)
That or he and Rabbit are secretly brothers, bunnies jump pretty high as well
They are Twins i think
PhilHatred NYESSS! They are. Ferternal twins.
I mean they'd be brother and sister. Bunny is a girl, even if the older model looked male :P
BRO A MARCHING BAND AT OUR DISTRICT FESTIVAL PLAYED THIS TODAY IT WAS AWESOME
Of all the great tunes I've heard so far from this Group, this is my favorite.
I hope I'm not the only one who melts entirely during The Spine's super-deep bass part?
Believe me you're not! ^_^
Im straight and I found myself melting I want dat voice doe!!!
Nick Harrison Damn right. I'm a girl and I want that voice.
Nick Harrison I'm not into dudes either but as a musician I'm enamored with the notes he hits.
Least I hope that's what it is lol
I can go that deep but not as fast he can. It’s ungodly
It has now been 10 years and no band in the world come close vocally still.
oh my god i just realized that at 3:15 they're singing "Epic and So Cool." i can't believe these BUNCH OF DORKS
2021, and I will never get tired of this song.
"baby its sound
makes your worries cease to pound" sums it up perfectly. Idk why this song always just brightens my day.
Lyrics:
Ever since the first time I opened my eyes
I've awakened to the same thing
Other automaton friends roughly built like me
The first time I opened my mouth to speak
steam escaped to the air
and black oil dripped from my lips
and onto the ground
Well daylight struck a chord with my
photo-receptors
Night greeted me with a sea of stars
Our eyes all flashed blues and greens
through the night
It's just our
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
Electronic
Harmonics
People are soaring, always exploring,
higher than they've ever been before
But we are still down here,
feet on the ground near
what will rise us up with the rest
Our thoughts are quixotic, stark and robotic,
mechanical in nature all the time
And pulses are firing in our head wiring,
guiding all our actions and beings
It's just our
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
Electronic
Harmonics
I am not an unimaginable thing
My thoughts are tangible
though they're full of springs
I don't have the heart to send you untruthful words
My skin is cold to the touch and made from the earth
They say
Oh, oh it's so down, but baby it's sound
makes your worries cease to pound
And oh, maybe it's alright, 'cause baby it fights
for some time just to be held tight
And oh, maybe it's not wrong, 'cause it sings a lovely song
one that drifts on for so long
And oh, baby let's not lie, it's eyes are alive
and pointed up shining light to the sky
It's just our
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
Electronic
Harmonics
Epic and so cool
Epic and so cool
Epic and so cool
Epic and so cool
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
Electronic
Harmonics
Aaaaaaaaaah Automatonic
Electronic

always makes me think of Nick Valentine.
Oh my yes
Nick Valentine makes me think about this guy.
Not the other way around
This tells me they should do a Fallout song sometime.
I discovered them many years ago by searching for "I don't want to set the world on fire" covers... they performed it live at a zoo when upgrade was still in the band... it's not on their channel though...
me 2
So good. I always loved this band from a young age, my dad introduced me. I hold these to me.
really wish i had found them before 2015...
+HORSES GONE WILD same ;-; XD we all have the same problem
+Loki the Trixter I discovered them back in 2013 and have been hooked since.
+Loki the Trixter i found about them in 2016 they are a very good band
Badmuthatrucker666 Welcome to the fan club, they are one of the most addictive bands on the planet.
you know that rabbit is known as bunny now right and is transgender?
2:22-2:54, my god, I love this.
We all love ittt!!!
Jillie Hagens The first time I listened to that part with my headphones on I got chills throughout my whole body. Not sure what about that part I like so much, just a really good piece of music.
Dakoda Gabriel His voice is just so amazing.
Jillie Hagens SAME
Geez I love David's voice...
I agree :)
So glad I saw them live.
YOU SAW THEM LIVE!?! *radiating jealousy* xD
My Big sister , Ashley Shogren got me into this band . And I'm glad she did . Its so weird and eccentric and stands out . I love it .
I don't know if it is because of my particular personal moment in life, but these guys have really managed to struck a chord with me. They are far from what I expected when I decided to check out a "Steampunk band that move like robots", they're actually much better than I ever imagined. I admire people who can stick to what they want to do even while being aware that it won't be everybody's cup of tea.
Where has this been all my life . . . . . .
3:26 I didn’t know how much I needed a robot in a Turd Ferguson hat, but here we are.
2:23 God damn spine every time that part gets me so good. Your deep vocals are powerful man just saying. ^.^
I cried the first time I saw them live. The fucking harmonies man.
Look at Rabbit go! Look at those dance moves! She's just so amazing! Even has her own fan and coat- Her hat is so cool tooooo! Aaaaah! Go Rabbit!!!
anyone else listening to this in 2020??
I was lucky enough to see them at the Renaissance Pleasure Faire in Irvine, California, in 2018, and their performance was AMAZING.I can "blame" my wife for that. She found them on the list of performers at the faire and thought they sounded interesting because of their name--also, I think she looked them up on TH-cam and listened to some of their music--plus, they're Steampunk, something she knew I liked, so she, told me, "You gotta check these guys out! They're cool and they're Steampunk robots! Right up your alley!" So we went. :-)
Loved everything they played. The goofy stuff they did between songs, with "breakdowns" and needing to be "fixed", a robot "nurse" coming out to make quickie "repairs", the band talking about having only limited time in the Renaissance time period--they were obviously anachronisms traveling in time and space. LOL So much fun to see them in action. And the black member--I'm so sorry to have to describe that way, as I don't know his character's name--his voice is fucking astounding; he performed a song for the first time ever that he'd written, and it was GORGEOUS. Their costumes were really cool, too, lots of detail, and a lot of it looked like stuff I'd wear on pretty much a daily basis if I had it in my wardrobe. Ancient Goth over here. LOL So much fun to see them perform in person.
Ive listened to their music without realizing it was them. Been a unknowing fan for about 5 years before finding out who they were exactly last year. I'm playing though a whole playlist rn.
I'm a 51 year old mom who just found out about these guys in 2020. They truly are epic and just so damn cool!!! I wish I could see them live. They are the tonic for this sickening year.
Never left :p.
So great seeing your journey so far, SPG. May you have many many more years of music and joy.
2020.
This song introduced me to SPG. It still has a special place in my heart.
Back in 2021 💖
Spine's voice is like a smooth bourbon, and my ears are always just like 🤤
Let me robotically feel this passion in reality by watching people passing by
I need more song with The Spine's voice at 2:22
Man, I love that for some reason SPG is related to steam in any way, shape, or form.
srry, I dont know whats happening,im not posting this stupid spam post,i will never spam,in fact i didnt even know this song...can you help me,i already changed my password :(
Try listening to their cover of Diamonds.
Like your profile pic
Diamonds is his cover
I love how rabbit has like six belts on at once
Wow cant beleive this is just now showing up in my life. The algorithm failed me yet again.
Their music got me through bootcamp. I would sing the songs to myself or in my head whenever the stress got a little high ^^
Yet another sublime example of The Spine's amazing vocal range. And their harmonies are pure joy.
"Epic, and so cool" indeed.
I heard of this band while playing Steamworld Heist. The songs suit perfectly with the setting. I think I'm in love with this band now.
I found it when a teacher that likes to put random stuff on TH-cam and he put harder better faster stronger cover on
Well this is one of the positive things about TH-cam. Discovering. Where in the world has this Band being. Why are they not yet a World Success. This is so different, this is Visual and musical Art.V
Yeeeeah...David's vocals...
I would have NEVER found this band if my friends hadn't been playing his cover of Diamonds, the one day...
Good grief, this man's voice is BEAUTIFUL...
This is the first song I ever heard from SPG - and I keep coming back to listen to it :D still loving it even after all these years.
Spine's voice: _Little high, _*_little low_*
I just was turned on to this musical sensation by Spotify, and I am so blown away by these siblings and their bandmates. I have not been able to stop watching these videos since I became aware of their existence. Their voices and lyrics, and showmanship, and back-stories continually sweep me away with each listen. So grateful to have had my ears and eyes blessed by this incredible group.
Man, Spine's face makeup was A LOT simpler back then...
one of the best songs i have ever heard
Fantastic job and truly an original artwork! Spending my evenings listening to Victorian steam powered robots singing are a necessity I didn't know I had until now. Cheers from Brazil.
Yassss still great in 2022!
I have listened to this song at least once a day for the past 2 weeks...I just can't get enough of it. I really love the way Rabbit moves in this, and The Spine's voice is just GOLDEN! I'm miss The Jon, I really thought he was great!
I cannot believe I didn't know about this group before like 4 days ago. Honestly. They are pure geniuses.
Whenever I sing along to this song and I'm a bit emotional it always makes me tear up a little, the bits about explaining what it's like to be mechanical/different get me, and something about singing that deep, too.
Nice to see a melodica from and center.
I love this song
It calms me down somehow
I have such a huge crush on The Spine.@_@
Do you still have a crush on The Spine
Rabbit in this video makes me feel like she's taking out a lot of rage. It looks freaking awesome XD
10 years.....time goes by so fast :(
The Jon's hats and the Spine's shutter shades and long jacket. Loving it.
This is the first time I've listened to this band, and damn they are amazing :D Great music plus the steampunk aesthetic (I've always loved steampunk ^w^) just equals a very happy me as well as a new fan of the band.
Stumbled across a very interesting song. Robot Cowboy Quartet? Didn't know that I needed it.
Seit Jahren einfach ... ja verrückt aber WOOOW!!!!
WTG, guys!!!! You know you are big when your YT commercial before your song is a MOVIE TRAILER! However, I already knew you were big and I'm so glad I was able to meet you at Youmacon in Detroit! Love you new album and Bunny's art work is AMAZING! Keep up the GREAT work! :)
