Y'all know how much I love music, and I've recently found a fabulous new band I want to share with you. Well, I guess I didn't find them per se, but you know what I mean. I first saw them on Letterman (2/17) and when they started playing I wasn't quite sure what I thought about them... by the end of the song I was intrigued. I saw them again about a week later (2/26) on Craig Ferguson and decided I was in love and had to have the album. Of course, my pea brain forgot about it the next day and it took me until today to get it.
Anyway, the band is Mumford and Sons... I thought they were Irish, but apparently they're British. They've got an old school Irish sound in my opinion, but they were listed as "Alternative" at the store. Whatever! You can check out their website if you like.
Just watching them perform mesmerizes me. There are four guys... one on guitar, one on banjo, one on the keyboard and one on the upright bass. The lead singer plays a drum with his foot while he sings and plays guitar. I don't know how performers sing and play one instrument at a time, let alone two. I'd fall over without a doubt!
If I've piqued your interest, check out the video from their Letterman performance below. If not, then I don't know what to tell you!

I effing LOVE Mumford & Sons. Kat from 3Bedroom turned me on to them. Not surprised you picked up on them since you are the Queen of Happening.
Hi E. I LOVE music too and have not heard of this band. Going to look them up on iTunes so thanks for the rec.
And I just pinged you on Twitter...let me in the Salti club? =)
Very cool! Thanks and can't wait to get the music from you my love! See you in a few for dinner!
Loving this! If they ever come here we are going...or maybe we should go to them? I will look at the concert schedule.
Ok, so they don't get out until about June...we would have to go to Phoenix or L.A. Hhmmmm?
Captain - I need to change my button from Queen of Random to Queen of Happening. And if you already knew about them, why didn't you fill me in?
Chelsea - They rock!
JennyMac - They're different, but awesome. I let you in the Salti club!

They are yummy to listen too!
Oh ehm gee!! This band is great! Thanks for the info! Listening to 'em now!
i enjoyed that. and this is totally the type of band to come to portland, so i'm sure i'll see them.
i have to say, i found that odd-looking banjo ALMOST more interesting than the mullet of the man playing it.
