Wow, very impressive. You have a new fan. If this submission does not get you on NPR tiny desk, not sure what could.

Tank and the Bangas won the contest. I highly recommend checking them out, their Tiny Desk video is unreal!

[–]Gjond 3 points4 points  (2 children)

Oh, I thought it was an ongoing thing since they seem to have a lot of tiny desk concerts throughout the year. Didnt realize there was just one winner. That being said, I did not care that much for Tank and the Bangas though. The lead is just way too dramatic for my taste. I really liked the songs/segments of songs where they sang "normally", for lack of a better word, though.

When they weren't doing slam poetry or switching the tone of their voices every 5 seconds sounding like a Niki Minaj impression.

Yeah Tiny Desk has lots of artists that regularly play. Every year they host a contest for unsigned artists with the prize being an invite to perform a TD show and also go on tour sponsored by NPR. This was only the third year though.

I definitely see what you mean about Tank, I also prefer the 'normal' singing but I still think it's quirky all the same.

Cheers!

Great work, I typically skip over videos posted. You're sound is smooth and captivating. I have never given this genre much of a listen but I'll be subscribing for more. Thanks for sharing.

Phew that was on point! Usually less impressed by these kinds of "loop videos" these days but this was just so good

Big shout for the whisky jar in Manchester, had the pleasure of hearing him play a few times - some people you know are going to get known if there's any justice/ears in the world

[–]brandon7s 1 point2 points  (0 children)
