Lake Street Dive

I just heard this band for the first time tonight, while I was listening to A Prairie Home Companion.

Man, are they good!

I like their minimalist approach to playing, which you can see in this video.

This is one of the songs they did on Prairie Home Companion. I was reading something and not fully listening to the radio, but after about 30 seconds, I was hooked.

I can't recommend any other songs by them, because I just found out about them hours ago.

So, who else is into them, and when did they come out?

They're playing in NY again next week; I may go see them.

P.S. A Prairie Home Companion repeats their Saturday night show on Sunday morning, at least they do here in New York. Look them up in your area if you're interested.

Yea I've been digging these guys for a few months on the internet and finally got a chance to see them live on Saturday. I believe all NEC students (or former students).Tight, great vocals and good tunes. They could go far IMO.

Yep they do some awesome covers. I dig 'Let Me Roll It' and 'Rich Girl' albeit 'Say a Little Prayer' is very good too.

I don't have sound here at work so I'm kinda posting blind but this tune is very good too.
