I remember in 2005 my friend Bryn sitting in my car with me outside of Walgreens, holding his iPod and telling me "You've got to hear this band..." I listened to a few songs and was hooked.
Days later Bryn invited me to go see the band at The Seattle Drum School, he says he'll meet me there. So I go to the show, pretty stoked to see the band. I get there... and Bryn is on stage tuning his bass with the band. Tricky son of a gun.
The band was the Fleet Foxes. The show was awesome, I was floored by Robin's voice (he was 18 or 19 at the time) and his song writing skills. I knew they were something special but so often great bands get torn to shreds by the industry before they get the chance to break out.
I am happy to say the Fleet Foxes were able to survive the fire swamp and I'll be watching them this Saturday on SNL! http://www.nme.com/news/fleet-foxes/42014
