WINNERS!!! But didn't I say that 3 weeks ago??? So so happy for you, and for us in the west, who will get to hear you live very soon when you're on tour with the Tiny Desk folks!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
You all are going to be HUGE. I can barely express how much I enjoyed this, just remarkable how much energy and potential is displayed in this video. You have a new fan in myself and I anticipate I won't be alone. Man, can't wait to see more from ya'll.
Spencer Hayes going to be?! They have been out for years. And not huge yet. People don't appreciate good music anymore. But I'm glad you finally found them...
tjwilliams610 Fair enough, but I can only imagine winning the Tiny Desk contest is going to launch them to a completely different level of notoriety. There's a lot of music these days and it's rare to find a group this unique. I hope they come to Detroit, would love to see them live 👍
I listened to you guys on NPR today, not only do you sound awesome, but you gave probably the best description of why New Orleans got such a good musical soul. I really hope you guys go places, cause I'll be listening if you do.
Dear Tank and the Bangas, I deeply apologize for turtling in my discovery for you. FR you guys make me want to cry - u guys express passion on a whole new level.
Back to watch this. This specific performance is permanently planted in that one part of the brain that’s linked to the soul. Anyone know yet, what the scientific connection is?? Doesn’t matter. There’s nothing better than KNOWING things, when we know we can’t KNOW anything, really. 💖
I'm so happy you were the winners... otherwise I wouldn't be enjoying this amazing song right now. I love this playful and interactive style.. LOVE IT! AMAZING SOUND ... the entire group!
I've watched this video like 20 times since coming across it on Facebook last week. Cannot get enough of it. And beside the talent on display all around, Tank's smile is magic. Love her.
Watching "Queen Sugar" and one of their songs came on. I Shazamed and the moment their name and pic came up I IMMEDIATELY remembered this. I'm OVERJOYED to see they're getting their work more places and recognized. Such a dynamic, impressive group. I'm in love
I fell in love with this band after this video. I saw them play last summer. The sound at Santa Barbara bowl was horrendous. It was a bummer. Still, they’re amazing.
The venues are too small in which they are performing. The shows are sold out months in advance and there are the waiting lists. She is much bigger than that! The promoters have underestimated the gift of "Tank and the Bangers".
My dull bleak work week is so much better now that I have discovered Tank and the Bangas! This is so out of the ballpark amazing! I wanted this video to follow them to lunch.
This is total brilliance. Yassss. This whole ensemble knows how to play AND entertain. Will be looking for you guys when you come to NYC. Keep rocking it!!! Sending love from the big apple.
This still makes me smile from ear to ear. I know the 2018 Tiny Desk contestants aren't in competition with Tank and the Bangas, but they did set the bar high. It's nearly unreachable!
TALENT TALENT TALENT! AMAZING variety in her beautiful voice!! LOVE IT! I don't understand why they aren't breaking records with#1 hits? they will.. watch and see if they don't
oh... my... freaking... gosh!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 why am I just now hearing about them?? My spirit was missing this and I didn't even know they existed. New Fan right here👏👏👏👏👏
6 years later, I still come back to this clip for a dose of serotonin. ❤️
Say it again about to be 2024 and just revisited this to listening to this in my brand new headphones
This is my favourite version ever
Calling it now, these guys win.
you called it. They won!
they did? finally maybe that's the shot tank and the bangas needed.
yes, they did
I've some stocks I need you to look at. 😊
matmoose You totally called it!👌
"Back is aching / My bra too tight / My booty is shakin' from left to right." Can't get enough of this band!
they fell back on the old school chant....from waaaaay waayyyy back in the day. Love it
TANK IS SO FREAKING PRETTY
Issssss
Are you the boy in her DM says she's pretty?! 😂
Frankly, I listen to this version more than the album version. It feels like I'm jamming with them, more intimate 👌🏽🎧
Same here, I like the rawness of this version
1:49, that note she hits with just enough rasp...got me like 😍
YESSSSSSSS
This is probably the most deserving winning entry in the history of contests.
This woman is amazing
These women 😉
Like a breath of fresh air❤
I'm in love with Anjelika's vocals, such beautiful energy she creates... especially starting at 2:27
Right! I listened to this so many times trying to get the lyrics.
Jellllllyy
Jill Scott and The Roots vibes from this, this was dope!!
WHY ARE YOU ALL SO TALENTED AND ADORABLE?! Like...why?
WINNERS!!! But didn't I say that 3 weeks ago??? So so happy for you, and for us in the west, who will get to hear you live very soon when you're on tour with the Tiny Desk folks!! CONGRATULATIONS!!
Diana Gameros You called it, homie!
Saw em at Afropunk in Atl last year. NPR needs them on like yesterday ! love em !
Taron Henton yeah this group so talented. I saw them last year I became a instant fan
They turned AP OUT!!!!
You all are going to be HUGE. I can barely express how much I enjoyed this, just remarkable how much energy and potential is displayed in this video. You have a new fan in myself and I anticipate I won't be alone. Man, can't wait to see more from ya'll.
Had the same feeling when I met them last year in London, they tore up the stage. Spoke to Tank and we shot a quick vid. Talent is insane!
Spencer Hayes going to be?! They have been out for years. And not huge yet. People don't appreciate good music anymore. But I'm glad you finally found them...

Spencer Hayes well said man
same here
Doin' New Orleans proud! Congratulations!!!!
the white guy with the saxophone looks like he is having the time of his life for the whole performance :)
I LOVEEEEEEEEE HIMMMMM!
He's LOVING the swirl! Get it white boy!!
I know I would be if I was part of this band.
You would be to if you were wearing that jacket.
Albert always looks like he still can't belive he's a Banga.
When they broke it down.... i'm pretty sure i levitated
blair williams my favorite part of the song 🥰
@@Realtalktv1216 same
I listened to you guys on NPR today, not only do you sound awesome, but you gave probably the best description of why New Orleans got such a good musical soul. I really hope you guys go places, cause I'll be listening if you do.
Kyle Barr She really did! I almost cried; I miss living there so much
This was so much fun to watch like it changed my WHOLE mood.
Yes!
Mario Warren mine too omg
This isn't ordinary music hits something in your soul u can't even explain very eccentric
Dear Tank and the Bangas,
I deeply apologize for turtling in my discovery for you. FR you guys make me want to cry - u guys express passion on a whole new level.
They all slayed the entire universe. This performance is flawless i swear to god.
I can't stop watching this video! Every day!
This live version is better than the studio. The emotion and fun expressed-love it!
Back to watch this.
This specific performance is permanently planted in that one part of the brain that’s linked to the soul.
Anyone know yet, what the scientific connection is??
Doesn’t matter. There’s nothing better than KNOWING things, when we know we can’t KNOW anything, really. 💖
[am 36. So I guess I saw this at 30. I will never, ever be ME, if this memory leaves my brain. Eternal love to you all.]
I'm so happy you were the winners... otherwise I wouldn't be enjoying this amazing song right now. I love this playful and interactive style.. LOVE IT!
AMAZING SOUND ... the entire group!
Saw this on facebook and fell in love. The girl with the beats jumper, I love her personality!💖
Ese Kanayo she's the "tank" in "tank and the bangas" :)
I love yall!! I'm old school lunch break 1984....Houston Texas
I've watched this once a week for 8 years LOL - absolutely blast the official recording out of the water
I could listen to this all day. But it's so much more fun to watch! You guys rock!
when I say I LOVEEEEEEE you guys chemistry and originality unmatched! forever praying that the world knows about you guys 💜💜💜💜💜.
I've watched this video like 20 times since coming across it on Facebook last week. Cannot get enough of it. And beside the talent on display all around, Tank's smile is magic. Love her.

How have I never seen this?!
Congratulations! Your NPR Tiny Desk Contest entry is a well deserved win. :)
2023 and still one of my favs!
I love watching groups like this because you feel how much they love what they're doing coming from every aspect of the performance. So charismatic
3:50 to to 3:55 cracks me up EVERY single time. Love these girls/guys. Lunchtime!
I never ever comment on UA-cam vids but you guys are the realest and most original artists I've seen in a long time. Repeat, repeat, repeat. Lol
I fell in love with this band after this video. I saw them play last summer. The sound at Santa Barbara bowl was horrendous. It was a bummer. Still, they’re amazing.
Albert feels music the way I do. The hand movements look just like me. Lol! Go Albert!!!
The venues are too small in which they are performing. The shows are sold out months in advance and there are the waiting lists. She is much bigger than that! The promoters have underestimated the gift of "Tank and the Bangers".
P Hill agreed.
This is an NPR tiny desk concert.
The entire point is folks put on a tiny concert in a side room for NPR employees. It’s a fun, silly gimmick.
Wow, you guys are just plain fun and lovely. Looking forward to hearing much much more.
This is my favourite version of the song
I come on here everyday just to listen to this song.
Love the faces Mr. Allenback is making. Also, love the Beats sweater on the lead🤩😍😍😍😍
The sax player at 1:17 is priceless
I'm 70 years old. I enjoyed you daughter!
Huh?
yasss
Oaklab Sound System 'huh' what? She's calling her daughter because of her age- it's a term of endearment.
1960's girl I'm gonna be like you when I grow up. You're my mama's age but she's not as cool. 😍
I misread. I thought it said, "I enjoyed YOUR daughter". Whoops.
This is magic.
Was just turned onto this music. Love it!
My dull bleak work week is so much better now that I have discovered Tank and the Bangas! This is so out of the ballpark amazing! I wanted this video to follow them to lunch.
I can guarantee that we are going to hear/see you more this year! You guys are so talented! Keep shining! You've got a new fan!
Can we all take a moment to appreciate the bassist! His groves ate the shit! Way to go laying it down on the low end!
I cannot watch this enough. I cant even deal.
I've been listening to this song nonstop for the past few weeks. You guys are so fresh, I love it.
I've got work to do, but I can't stop watching Tank and the Bangas videos. Sublime.
This is my favourite version of Quick. The bridge in this version gives me chills.
This is still my favorite version of this song! It was so acoustic and raw! LOVE THIS BAND!
This is total brilliance. Yassss. This whole ensemble knows how to play AND entertain. Will be looking for you guys when you come to NYC. Keep rocking it!!! Sending love from the big apple.
Winning Tiny Desk, and my heart, simultaneously.
she's electric! wow amazing
Loving jelly’s vocals 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Giving some Jill Scott vibes!😊💕
this song is my existence i live for it
I keep watching this over and over. So refreshing to see musicians enveloped in the joy of creating. Amazing.
Those progressions, tonality, and absolutely them Singers. Wow
Since I found them, I've watched this video 65465161 times and looked for her on Spotify and "Human" is so incredible... so much range!
This still makes me smile from ear to ear. I know the 2018 Tiny Desk contestants aren't in competition with Tank and the Bangas, but they did set the bar high. It's nearly unreachable!
OMG!!! I just heard about you this morning and you are already my favorite band ever!!!! I want to come to New Orleans just to see you!!
Much love from Boston!
Their Tiny Desk Concert is here!
This is by far the best version of this song
Seeing them with death cab for cutie this summer and I couldn't be more excited
Love u guys!! Just checked out the NPR performance and it's on fireeeeee! Love u 1 more time!!!!
...never gets old...
I’ve listened to every recording of this song like 40 times I’m obsessed.
No words!!!
I'm speechless
Best Tiny Desk winner to date!
It’s one of two things. Either tiny desk knew these cats or tiny desk won the mega millions of artists. Things will never be the same.
TALENT TALENT TALENT! AMAZING variety in her beautiful voice!! LOVE IT! I don't understand why they aren't breaking records with#1 hits? they will.. watch and see if they don't
Just saw them last night in Dunellen, NJ, my God, it was worth staying out late on a work week. They are all so talented and magically!!
I love you guys! I heard the NPR podcast in the train on my iPod and my body was shaking all the time hahahah
Congratulations! I can't stop listening to this song and I love your energy.
