The Lumineers

That Harry Caray thing is perfect.

they were on Colbert last night. drummer had suspeders and a dirty tshirt. the bassist wore a knit cap, a tie, glasses, and was BAREFOOT. I hate them forever.

I left the room during the break before they came on. Didn't turn off the tv, but didn't watch.

Yeah let these people have a good time but yeah suspenders and fedoras are dumb then again all popular music has lame fashion cues and performance mask attached to it are they really any lamer than the rock band that refuses to smile

Sometimes you just got to move from Brooklyn into your friends place in Denver to make it big, the world is a strange place

I had friends who went to one of those Gentlemen of the Road deals somewhere out from here. They were really impressed that the Mumford dudes played basketball with their kids. My friends' kids, that is. I think the Mumfords are too young to have kids.

I'm hoping the Americana thing is eventually going to lead to some steampunk group blowing up and going mega-mainstream.

troy seems pretty authentic when i drive through it. there's a grain elevator right at the edge of town, i think. dunno how much traction americana gets around here, tho, because people who live here don't live far enough away from here to mythologize it that way. mostly it's just actual bluegrass festivals or else trace adkins summer country jam type of stuff. also juggalos and jamband fans.

don't know how you'd celebrate local food unless skyline has a location there. cassano's pizza i like but that's no reason to make this one of only 3 u.s. stops.

or stopovers, whatever.

i don't know if it's this band or which of the dueling banjos bands it is, but i swear that it takes a lot of agitation to make me turn off the radio in disgust and the song i have heard yesterday and today has brought me to that point

i think it might be mumfords but who the f knows all i can hear are the stupid banjos and some quasi-xtian sounding heavily harmonized male singing about waiting
i can try to have sympathy for people who like this song, but i seriously hope i never have to listen to it again

I think that's Mumford. I just found out the other day that his parents are the founders/leaders of this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vineyard_Churches_UK_and_Ireland which makes perfect sense.

whatever happened to wildin' out and being violent?

That will come with their midlife crises.

ugh i knew it
i could smell it through the radio
this is the guy they were following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Wimber
The pursuit of authenticity was core to Wimber's idea of church, and this was reflected in the worship as well.

the mumford kid is 26. damn, so many more years of singing like a grizzled old salt ahead of him...

Wimber held a complementarian view of gender roles. This view believes the Bible to teach that a husband is called to lovingly lead, protect and provide for his wife and family, and that the wife should joyfully and intelligently affirm and submit to her husbands leadership. Complementarians also believe the Bible to teach that men are to bear primary responsibility to lead the church and that therefore only men should be elders.[7]
Wimber said:
'I believe God has established a gender-based eldership of the church... I endorse the traditional (and what I consider the scriptural) view of a unique leadership role for men in marriage, family, and in the church... this [view] ultimately reflects the hierarchy of the Trinity.'[8]
'I personally do not favor ordaining women as elders in the local church...I encourage our women to participate in any ministry, except church governance.' [8]
Sam Storms comments: 'Others would point out that in spite of his complementarian convictions, Wimber permitted at least two notable exceptions: both Jackie Pullinger (Hong Kong) and Ann Watson (England) served as the senior leaders of their respective congregations (although I should mention that Watson viewed her role as exceptional, given the premature death of her husband, and not a position to which women in ordinary circumstances should aspire).'[8]

i will wait...to have sex with you until you are my wife and i can allow you to serve me joyfully and intelligently and affirm my leadership

Imagine having Mumford dude as your reverend.

"And now a song to illustrate my point."

im mumford btw

So you're the guy.

You and your heartfelt singalongs, your armwavers.

About that brown hat: Kutcher had a story.

“I was outside of London when the bombing happened in Boston,” he said. “I happened to be wearing a Boston hat at the time. Just coincidentally. I'm not really a Boston fan. I just had a Boston hat, and I was wearing the Boston hat, and this kid asked me to trade the Boston hat for his hat.”

“You're kidding me,” said Gad, 32.

“And I was like, ‘I think you need the Boston hat,' and I gave him the Boston hat, and he gave me this hat.”

“It's a good hat,” Stern said. “Also, you have the face that could pull off any hat.”

“I feel like Mumford & Sons,” Kutcher said. “I feel like one of the Lumineers.”

lol

who the fuck asks anyone to trade hats unless they're drunk

i don't understand

once you trade hats you are hat bros 4 ever.

Now if they traded neck beards...

Of Monsters & Men "Little Talks" is on regular rotation every day outside my office building and it makes me want to beat these men monstrously

this seems to be the only thread to mention lumerians but i have some bad news
i think they might belong here

not that they sound anything like the lumineers, but i saw them last night and it took 100 years for them to get their sequined suits on and decorate the stage
and then i was expecting some far out music but it was pretty blah imo
disappointed

funny that this thread was bumped. i've never heard the Lumineers but i happened to catch one of their backup players (Stelth Ulvang) with his own band in a little coffee shop last night and he was great.

i saw U2 last night at the Rose Bowl, they played The Joshua Tree. It was good! However The Lumineers opened for them. my impression of them is they seem like very nice folks who have exactly one song played at the same tempo with the same obnoxiously loud bass drum which exists exclusively to inspire handclaps, and they don't wear trilbys but some other kind of hat for strummers and foot stompers. their banjo player was pacing back and forth in suspenders and he was barefoot.

the other opening acts for U2 on this tour are Mumford and Sons and OneRepublic.

Black Eyed Peas in 2009 at the same venue was a better opening act.

also people were getting extremely turnt to them.

A-YO AYO HEY AYO AYO HEY AYO AY-O

^ chorus of all the songs, what do i win?
