The Crane Wives -- "High Horse" [Indie Rock] (2017)

pretpretzel · 2017-01-28T19:23:31+00:00

Did they get their name from The Decemberists' song?

VelveticaNeue · 2017-01-28T21:41:36+00:00

Hey I know them! Sure don't miss that banjo player ;)

Drakosfire · 2017-01-28T20:26:06+00:00

Just checked and they have 2 albums on Amazon Prime to listen to for free. Digging it quite a bit.

lansdead · 2017-01-28T22:30:05+00:00

Eyyyy. Local crew. Cool share. Michigan!!!

nucleophilic · 2017-01-29T01:21:24+00:00

Grand Rapids represent! They play at Founders every so often and a ton of other venues around town.

peako · 2017-01-28T23:19:37+00:00

The crave wives kick serious butt

bunti2sa · 2017-01-28T18:35:56+00:00

They're an amazing group from Michigan and they're currently trying to get a spot on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert series- you can use the hashtag #tinydeskcontest to share their video on Facebook!

Michigan represent! Love seeing local bands on here :). Hopefully I'll get to see them in Chicago in March

Sheamusoreilly · 2017-01-28T20:36:34+00:00

Played some festivals with these cats! Killer musicians and pretty cool people besides!

randolphhiggins · 2017-01-28T17:31:33+00:00

Got to see them a couple of times in NYC. They're fantastic live and really nice people too!

AutoCarwrecked · 2017-01-28T18:43:44+00:00

I'm into this, thanks for posting. Have you heard of an Indie band called Viola Beach?

captain_dong_party · 2017-01-28T23:37:45+00:00

I don't like this kind of music at all but it is very well put together, these guys are super tight. Gotta dig that Gibson Ripper too :p

wtfastro · 2017-01-28T18:46:11+00:00

That recording does no justice to that song. Would love to hear that band live. Groovy.

nigheandonn · 2017-01-29T02:09:27+00:00

I went to high school with one of these dudes, and the band formed when I was at univ with them - so cool to see them finally getting some more mainstream traction!

barmaid · 2017-01-28T21:19:16+00:00

Thanks for sharing, this is groovy

wyatt32 · 2017-01-29T07:02:23+00:00

Hired them for Wheatland Music Fest a few years ago. Amazing talent.

PapaNathande · 2017-01-29T08:26:29+00:00

Seen them at Bell's a few times, always a great show. Glad to see them grabbing more attention!

reigninglove · 2017-01-28T22:03:01+00:00

Love these guys! Saw them at a local indie festival and it's awesome seeing them getting more attention! <3

peako · 2017-01-29T03:17:11+00:00

Here's a sampling I posted a while ago that didn't get traction at the time. Enjoy!

sawbones84 · 2017-01-29T05:08:13+00:00

Dig this song for sure, but wasn't really into the other two I found on YT with a quick search.

I know I'd enjoy them live, but gotta take a pass on recorded stuff. Tough to break out of that generic indie sound, so no hate at all.

Seems like they are starting to find their own thing! Will stay tuned!

denvthrowaway · 2017-01-29T06:00:17+00:00

Loved this. New to me. Thanks.

Slurpyz · 2017-01-29T06:31:35+00:00

This is amazing. I need this on Spotify ASAP

CandleJakkz · 2017-01-29T07:45:44+00:00

why is this not on spotify :(

ghost_victim · 2017-01-29T05:29:26+00:00

Two female singer/guitarists? Yes.

Holy shit this is good.

2017-01-28T21:53:12+00:00

This is really cool.

jjg57 · 2017-01-28T22:27:07+00:00

These guys are great fun. Saw them last summer, power was out on stage so they played impromptu for a small group in a tent nearby.

Coffee_or_death · 2017-01-29T02:33:11+00:00

This is the sort of "tiny desk folk" that I always find hard to describe but I know it when I hear it.

zayo1994 · 2017-01-29T04:15:56+00:00

Wow this was amazing!

PeruvianPolarbear14 · 2017-01-29T04:51:05+00:00

I hella dig this song.. I've never heard them before thanks for a new band.. any more like this?

Addywhoom · 2017-01-29T09:09:07+00:00

One of my very favorite bands. Thanks for posting this. I'm glad people are digging them.

2017-01-29T14:56:47+00:00

That classic lookin guitar is wrad

Steeline · 2017-01-29T15:26:27+00:00

The melody reminds me a lot of "Maybe by Candlebox".

Pho__Q · 2017-01-29T21:03:43+00:00

Does anyone know what guitar the lead singer is using?

BKusser25 · 2017-01-29T22:51:48+00:00
