    Default Anyone listen to the Avett Brothers?

    I saw a commercial with two guys singing and playing guitar/banjo. I remember thinking, "Man, this would be an amazing commercial if these guys weren't dressed like total fags." Then it got to the end and it was a Gap commercial, and it all made sense. Anyway, it was a really good song, and since I think the banjo is tied with the pipe organ for coolest sounding instrument of all time, I looked up the commercial and found out it was the Avett Brothers.

    I've been listening to them nonstop for like three days now and I'm loving them. Here's a video of them doing a 3 song acoustic concert for NPR.



    And here's the song that they played in the commercial I saw.

    I misread what you said and thought they used a banjo with a pipe organ. I kept waiting for the pipe organ to come in and was immensely disappointed. They sound "nice" (in the way an old lady would describe a young lad as a "nice boy"), but not particularly memorable.

    This has now become a "Anyone listen to *recent musical discovery*?" thread.

    Anyone listen to the Diablo Swing Orchestra?
