loved you man...you were electric live

[@navroful]

Watching these guys live puts the dumbest grin on your face.

[@l1gw1g0n311]

Beautiful.

[@rnharrowing84]

yes!! I saw them last month, it blew my mind. :D

[@utandaydar]

...pretty sure that is dried blood splattered on the pickups? Can be best seen about 1:33 for a few seconds afterwards?

[@harybosco]

@gddmmthrfckr i agree...but they are rarely 3 live...more like 6. and death metal may be a stretch...

[@jussilliman]

there is a bass...

[@cronosqc]

My favorites songs from Akron. There is something ecstatic in this song

[@traviswilson8567]

Wish I had found these guys sooner, just discovered them recently and would have loved to see them live... too bad I was late and rip to Sean damn man what a great musician u were

[@Cambaudio]

The a really good song. Love the guitar. The "Love is Simple" song kind of annoyed me, yet I found it peaceful. This one was pretty amazing.

[@utandaydar]

@gddmmthrfckr They are playing Monday in SLC; yeah, I am there. The venue is a small club, very intimate--some of the best shows I have ever seen have been there. SO excited!

[@atomicspatula]

@gddmmthrfckr
absolutely. I just saw them at meredith, I'd never even heard of them before. un-fuckin-believable :)

[@octocore]

One of the best shows I've ever seen was Akron / Family at The Granada in Dallas. Highly recommend you go see them live.

[@keithpatschke4730]

So weird to know people who helped define my coming to age aren't more popular

[@rubbadubdub6543]

Makes me realise just how influential Neutral Milk Hotel really were.

[@MrByoung82]

couldn't agree more. Seem them live. Nicest dudes too.

[@williamgwillam3908]

The frets on my P bass aren't that shiny.

[@MapsAndCaps]

What a masterpiece.

[@tommitunnel]

cool bears

[@Vetschiller]

Saw them yesterday in Utrecht, Holland. Very energetic!

[@boektanasie]

zijn het nederlanders?

[@Vetschiller]

@@boektanasie No, they are American. Vetschiller is Dutch, though...

[@boektanasie]

@@Vetschiller Schil het vet van de dikke dijen

[@toothliner]
