music monday: seventh edition

you know that feeling when you “discover” a band that not many people know and you make it your mission to tell all your friends about how amazing they are and you go see them live at a small, intimate venue and you really want them to do well…and then they do something that makes them popular and suddenly you kind of wish that they had stayed small and beautiful and that you were the only one that knew about them so you could be secretly serenaded by them without it being “cool” to like them?  or is that just me?

that’s this band for me.  got to see them twice last year (proof i was there) and though i truly am very happy that their music is being heard by more than just me, i still kind of wish we could rewind back to before the grammy’s…and the hunger games soundtrack…and when i googled them, information about actual civil wars was number one…and it could just be me listening to them in my cold, dark basement office sweetly satisfied that i had “discovered” them.

    😀 can we wind WAAY back to when I sat on my bedroom floor at 12 listening to Joy Williams, solo Christian Music pop star?

    yeah…I agree, lets not. LOVE civil wars! (i felt this way about Ben Rector at the Needtobreathe concert last month…I’m pretty sure I was the only one singing alll the songs, and afterwards everyone couldn’t stop talking about him. Win!)

    so freakin’ good. i too remember listening to their free noisetrade live cd before their first official album came out. AMAZING!

  3. Ya, I wondered how you felt about the huge surge in popularity–now I know. The first time I heard about them was when you played a song for us on your laptop and talked about their concert.
