  • Thirdstory's talented trio of Elliott Skinner, Ben Lusher, and Richard Saunders perform:
    Grows Old, Searching For A Feeling and G Train.
    When asked to describe what kind of music they make, the three members of Thirdstory-Elliott Skinner, Ben Lusher, and Richard Saunders-all respond with a nervous laugh. Known for their sublime vocal harmonies and uncanny knack for reconfiguring the language of pop songs, the music that the trio creates together is fantastically genre defying. “That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?” laughs Lusher, “We usually say it’s pop songwriting mixed with soulful vocals, live instrumentation and elements of folk guitar and electric guitar, with a very hip hop influence on the production. So basically it’s everything.”
    A collaborative effort in the truest sense of the word, Thirdstory’s forthcoming full-length debut reflects the group’s wide range of influences and diverse backgrounds.
    This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    They deserve every bit of acclaim, notoriety and fame that comes there way. Musical excellence and the scary part is that this is only the beginning.

    Guys, the audience is SUPPOSED to be dead. It's TED Talk. People go there and give seminars about different topics and the audience is quiet out of respect and only clap when they have to.

    I have a lot of things to say: 1. I'm feeling this like fuck! 2. The guy with the long hair has a beauuuutiiiffuuuulllll smile and attitude and I'm in love. 3. I'm really confused about the audience like I felt their voices all through my body and I'd be out of control if I was there... how do they just sit and barely bob their heads. Also they killed it, they're perfect, I'm in love, play at my wedding please. Marry me also.

      Sariah Ratford basically it's what happens when you turn the volume too loud and everything sounds like it's coming out of a broken speaker. Sometimes it sounds good though like in distorted guitars, but here it sounds like an accident and hurts my ears
