I’m 65 and haven’t enjoyed what I classify as contemporary artists for quite some time. Then I discovered these guys. These guys are singer songwriters who are head and shoulders above the competition. Melody, harmony, production, all first rate. So when people bitch and moan that there is nothing of quality anymore, I point them right in the direction of the Lemon Twigs 👍
It's incredible how many boxes they check -- multi-instrumental ability, vocals, songwriting, musical passion and knowledge, stage presence. It's the complete package.
@@love-lp9pu I love each of their albums, because they're so distinctive. Kooky to Rock Musical to Radio Friendly Power Pop to A Benevolent Tidal Wave of Musical Beauty
And the next one is going to be even better, based on the mindblowing new tracks they’ve played live. “Peppermint Roses” is one of my favourite Twigs numbers already.
The album version of In My Head, the signer goes down more of a Paul Simon route in tone, but this take sounds more Beach Boys to me. I really like the diversity in his voice
Because they're too good for their era. People's ears have been (un)trained over the last couple of decades to think that only songs with repetitive beats, the same four chords used over and over again and rote, banal lyrics are what "hits" are. If this was 1974, these guys would be the next Beatles and on top of the world. Honestly, it's probably a good thing, because they've carved out a space with just enough fans and success to be able to do exactly what they want to do. For those of us who recognize how incredible they are, that's a great thing.
@@redadamearthThis guys are indeed incredible. I love the harmonies and their sense of melody. It’s all so amazingly well blended and tasteful. It’s not any better then the best of todays music however. One could argue their use of tone and rhythmic complexity is behind where modern rock/indie music is. Tone especially, that is what modern music is centered around. But like you said, their strengths are rarer these days.
My oh my just discovered these guys...I'm speechless! 67 years old and I feel 14 again listening to them. Melody harmony and they are individualistic using the hooks and sounds of the 60s and 70s! They use a 12 string....I haven't touched mine in about 20 years...these are REAL musician songwriters! Bravo guys!
"You'll look a fool." I can't remember the last time a band just completely stole my musical heart. I wake up with their songs in my head. Everyone I know is sick of me gushing about them, and I somehow always seem to work them into most conversations with strangers. I was lucky enough to see them twice this year, having just discovered them. And yes, they are so humble & sweet for being musical titans. Next tour -- I'm totally out there! Their live shows kill!
Fucking love these guys. Lucky enough to have met them multiple times after their shows, some of the most humble people despite being some of the most talented musicians from this generation
Can someone, anyone, tell me what kind of Rickenbacker Michael is playing in this clip? It's an incredible looking guitar. *edit to fix Michael's name, stupid mistake*
You’re probably talking about the guitar that Michael is playing - a Rickenbacker 450 (early sixties I’d say) with what looks like a non original two tone pick guard. Danny is on bass - a Fender Precision. Cheers
Thank you so much@@jvintage82! And yeah, stupid mistake. Only became a fan a month ago and still getting a hold on the names of the band members. You're a sage.

@@jprg1966 Absolutely 👍
I'm 68 & love the band.
@@hippydippy 👍
Good. Too many complain that there's no more good music around -- they forget to look!
Sometimes I wake up at night wondering why they didn't include the "woohho yeaahh" in the record. 0:58
That 60's sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
More early-mid 70's, really, but yeah, of that era.
Their latest record is by far the best piece of work theyve put out so far
Hell yeah! We can't stop listening to it!
mhhh kinda…but debut album stays superior

Couldn’t agree more

Never heard a more talented group of musicans the last 20 years; they blend Beach Boys, Big Star and Todd Rundgren into perfect blissful songs.
With that off-kilter Spirit structure and sentiment!!
All while looking like different versions of Steve Perry lol
@@andycook7220 I saw that too! :)
And wjo, and kinks and byrds. But most important. They are them.
Definjtely the best version of in my head i love the "oh yeah" they throw in after the verses
props to the sound engineer, sounds great.
Yep those vocal mic's alone are fantastic.
AGREED
Agreed, sounds incredible
They write such celestial melodies. Why aren't they famous worldwide yet?

@@redadamearthso well put and for those who do know and love them it’s a really special feeling, what a band
@@redadamearth These guys should be selling out stadiums. I agree.
@@redadamearthamen!
Music with a real melody for a change

They are amazing. Go see them live
"I can make my guitar speak!" 😂
They make me believe in the power of music again
It’s all in the music
I keep wondering when people are going to realize that these guys are the next Beatles.
Won't be long! 🤞
Not. Never.
@@newyorkukuleleschool1425Yes. Just give it time. Yes.
The harmonies taking me back to the good old days of Jellyfish.
THIS! Jellyfish are one of my favorite bands and I'm so happy I found this band!
@@dalenn_dnb you should check out the lickerish quartet - 3 ex - jellyfish guys
Totally.
!!!!
Yes -but its actually Todd Rundgren - with additional feel from the Beatles - although Todd like -across the board
Saw them last week in Portland, OR. Sold out theater. Crowd mostly young folks 20's-early 30's and some older folks like yrstruly. Tremendous show.
Those Rickenbackers sound so good
distinctly 60's!
Come a long way since Members of the Press!
Love the album 'Everything Harmony'. Every now and then I smile and say 'Who's been listening to The Nazz then? :)

the amount of times i've watched this should be illegal

The best live version of this song I've seen online so far....:)
Shit this sounds good live
so good!!!
Tones, melodies, harmonies and aesthetics always on point.
The world is going downhill in most aspects, but this band and their music prove there is hope. What a treasure!
OBSESSED. so lucky to be alive at the same time as these mind-boggling talents.
Oh my! This sounds incredible; big kudos to the sound engineers. PS. What a band!
Cheers! Glad you liked it! :)
10/10 song
This is the best performances of these two tunes as is. I love the Twigs!
Channeling the power of the Deacon Blues opening chord Line in the bridge. Awesome!
Definitely got a solid Beatles/Beach Boys vibe going here, but I'm also totally hearing some REM in In My Head. So fucking good.
I keep listening
This is cool.
Very refreshing
Glad you enjoy it!
The Lemon Twigs are a musical dream come true ... I love them for light years !!! ♥♥
Love these two tracks. This band kicks so much ass and they look so damn good doing it.
Those harmonies on 5:24 though
Great (and promising) band. Saying those two brothers are talented is an understatement.
this quartet formation is soliiid. keep it up guys
they aren't the next anybody. they are the original lemon twigs. taking classic styles and making them fresh all over again.
This hit after the 5 listening, i sawwww youuu twiiiceeee beeforeeee, amazing songs...

This band is pure genius. There is hope for Music after all. 😊
I prefer this version of Corner of my eye than the original studio version.
How sweet the drum sound
They are just the best!
rockin"
I really like the fact that they write super dark lyrics and pack in cute melodies and voices.

Holy hell, they're great.

People keep talking Todd Rundgren influence yada yada - this song does actually sound Todd influenced- best yet 🎉
Amazing version of ‘corner of my eye’ such amazing writers. Hitmakers
Agreed!
I can't stop rewatching this and I can't decide if Brian or Michael is cuter :(((( it's a TIE
Its a hard one! My money is on Brian 😊
ok but michael has the cutest laugh ever tho :D@@elliepond5984
They were just in Sydney?!? I live there 😭
beautiful stuff!
3:28 Paul McCartney

So good
Great stuff guys thanks for the studio insight. :)
Our pleasure!
I really like the song Corner of My Eye, especially their live version in the Cactus Club. Check it out guys! ❤
Anyone know what the vocal mics are there using? Just a music geek here! ✌️❤️
Sennheiser MD441-U !
@@HappyMagTV thank you! 🙏
New byrds
what camera using and lens in this video
Just some Sony A7s from memory
Can someone, anyone, tell me what kind of Rickenbacker Michael is playing in this clip? It's an incredible looking guitar. *edit to fix Michael's name, stupid mistake*
Very likely a 330

Thank you so much@@jvintage82! And yeah, stupid mistake. Only became a fan a month ago and still getting a hold on the names of the band members. You're a sage.
Who has the names of the rhythm section?
Danny Ayala on bass. Reza is the drummer's name.
@@carolfan4466thanks for the info !
way better than the album version
Thanks! We enjoyed recording this one so much!
Noice
Harmony
Yep.... Roger McGuinn all those mother effers.
Some Sennheiser 441, a Rickenbacker (or two) and a couple of chords. What can go wrong? Except you have a bad hair day.
What is going on with the vocal sounds they are amazing
Are these guys the love children of Keith Moon and Phil Lynott?
What happened to their elon musk drummer?
The microphones in Sydney always smell like vegemite.❤
absolute freaks of nature...
They definitely need someone to play keys
The guy playing bass does
@@miked5163 They need both
This dude looks and sounds like randy meisner are u kidding
