Anybody ever heard them? They did the soundtrack for Friday Night Lights. One of the best instrumental bands I have heard, check them out http://myspace.com/texasband

    They were amazing at Coachella. I really dig this band.
    I’ve seen Pearl Jam 25 times, Eddie Vedder 9 times, and Brad once.

    i absolutely love them!! certainly a must for any mogwai or sigur ros fans. heard a great description of 'the earth is not a cold dead place' recently, "EITS's 'TEINACDP' seems like ideal film soundtrack music, except that its gargantuan beauty would probably overwhelm any image you'd match to it". i definitely agree :)

    Earth Is Not A Cold Dead Place is one of my favorite albums. Great band, great albums.
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    Just bumping this because I have derailed another thread by recommending this great band. I think they just re-released Friday Night Lights on vinyl? Hoping for a new album and tour sometime soon. Such an intense band to see live. Just in case you haven't heard them, they are a rock instrumental band and their name completely describes their sound.image

    First band I saw at my first festival at Virgin Music Fest in '07. I was too young to really get them at the time because I just finished freshman year of college but I have dabbled more over the years and realized that they are super badass.

    I remember being really drunk but really impressed by a band with no lyrics playing like a 2pm slot.

    If you want to see guys play their asses off for you, without the glitz or agenda, they will blow you away. A blast to see and listen to live
