    I have been to countless live shows of every genre in my life…I truly feel that Local Natives may be the best I’ve ever seen. It’s ridiculous how good they are.

      That's interesting... I've always wanted to see them but haven't gotten the chance. The best live performance I've ever seen was Kings of Leon at ACL, but I'm open to being proven wrong. I feel like it's a win/win for me.

      Alex Rizzutto We need MTV Unplugged back from the nineties! I still watch STP's, Nirvana's and Pearl Jam's unplugged shows regularly, and there are so many bands today that could do great things with acoustic instruments. This video is just one among many!

    Hearing these guys live at Osheaga this year was a true privilege. They are incredibly hard working and to say they sound amazing is an understatement. Local Natives are band everybody needs to see live to believe that they're one of the most outstanding and yet underrated bands in North America right now. You'd be kicking yourself if you decided to skip their set at any festival.

    Yeah just saw Local natives live. Wasn't even a huge fan at the time, but they absolutely killed it. So much energy, like it was one if their first shows. Also, before the show, one went on a bike ride, the other a run, and another had a kettle bell lol. Staying in shape I gues

    Just saw them live in SD last Thursday. Before it, they already had a special spot in my heart, with their vocals feeling a little melancholy to me, and the beautiful & novel arrangement of their songs (esp dat percussion ;D). Seeing them live though.. man, I have to say it was a once in a lifetime, absolutely amazing show. I already can't wait for the next time I'll see them~
