Great performance, plenty of tasteful bass to work out too.

[musicbassman]

Control, discipline, exact note lengths, restraint....it's all there. Straight 10's from all the judges.

And an object lesson in less is more guitar playing!

Just watched this- fantastic. Thanks for posting!

Saw these live earlier this year. They were all amazing. Bass player was solid

[Linus27]

This is gorgeous and very infectious.

Classic look from the guitarist @ 0:16 as he realises it is going to be a cool set.

Really not sure about the whole 'band uniform' thing, but whatever.

Put ‘tiny desk concert’ into the YouTube search and then spend about a month watching some great performances. I’ve found lots of new music via Tiny Desk as well as watching some faves, here’s my current fave, “Say what!”

Aaaaargh! More band uniforms ...

So is it a group, a channel on YouTube... Or as I originally assumed a recording using minimal kit in a live environment? Or something else?!

Let me Google that for you. 😉 <- seriously, I knew about TD but didn't know its history until I did actually Google that for you.

Thanks @owen - I only watch them when they're brought to my attention, hadn't seen that one.

I have to say I don’t no much about it apart from the performances but I do now!
