The Wrens - Everyone Choose Sides

- From campjinx.com: You know when you really really like a band or a person, and you think of them in the highest possible regard, so if/when you find out they're really assholes, it crushes your soul and makes you reconsider everything you hold dear. For those who are fans of the critically acclaimed New Jersey band, The Wrens, you need not worry. Not only are they not assholes, they turned out to be the nicest most genuine people I have met in a very long time (and incredible musicians). How nice you ask? Well nice enough to find time between two sold out Chicago shows to stop by a fan's apartment and give him one of the most amazing experiences of his young life. That fan was me... And the experience was seeing my favorite band (seriously, I am not just saying that) play an acoustic version of my favorite song using my family's guitars. and in a bind for a percussion instrument, the drummer, Jerry, utilized of all things one of my favorite breakfast foods. All of this took place in the living room of my Chicago apartment, and it was a surreal experience, one that we captured on film, so without further ado, THE WRENS LIVE AT BRENDAN'S!
Man, what a night you had. The greatest rock band no one talks about in your house. Legendary.
Meadowlands is one of the greatest records ever made. And it's crazy how 3 acoustic guitars and one box of cereal captures the spirit of the recording. Unreal.
Kills me that this band never got the chance to be what they deserved. Great song writing here, amazing story telling.
Maybe they never wanted to be big, like Creed...
Actually, it was their choice. But what they were offered, they said no.
Why is the best line: I’ve walked away from more than you can imagine/and I sleep just fine?”
I never get sick of this.
This is my favorite video on the internet.
These guys just fucking kick ass. It doesn't even surprise me that they did this; they are just that cool. What an awesome band. I've seen them live twice, getting to go on stage for Boys You Won't once, and I talked to them after the show both times. Just some really cool, down to earth, kickass musicians.
This is one of the greatest things I've ever seen. The Wrens ought to have blown up. Criminally underrated. Their music will always find new fans, though. It's good enough to outlast all of us.
This is helping me get through COVID-19. Made me cry. Much love to all involved. Thank you.
I think they used corn flakes on the album version.
I love these guys! SECAUCUS is one of my all time favorite records!
Yo this is so awesome
What a fucking treat. I was lucky enough to see The Wrens twice in my life and that was 15 years ago. Wish they would release more music and tour again, but this is holding me over. ❤️
My goodness, those musical layers... One of the few examples of that rare combination of pure genius and goodwill
/So awesome! Id love to see The Wrens live in Minneapolis.....wouldnt that be fantastic?
Maybe the best indie rock video ever recorded, that's all.
Still extremely good in this version!!!
A recent discovery for me. What a shame they aren't more well known...thank god I found them at least.
This is still the best video on the internet.
Thank God for the Wrens...and for this video.
Go head, Charles. Vocals on point
this might be my favorite video ever now. everything is good about it. good dudes, great song, incredible guitaring, and a fucking cap'n crunch box
this band has a new fan
Love this! Amazing song from an amazing album.. saw them in London, one of the best gigs of my life.. Somehow you wish they just became bigger, but you're happy they didn't in a weird way
i love how kevin plays bass and guitar upside down
this video is amazing. instant favorite and thanks!
Amazing!
awesome, another accomplished cap'n crunch player!
oh my goodness that's so awesome that they did that!
It's not like he plays them upside down for fun, it's because he's a lefty. The Wrens rock!
"I'm the best 17-year-old ever!"
unbelievably cool, god i love the wrens
what a story, man. these guys are really cool.
AWESOME
Still blows my mind that this video hasn’t even reached 500 likes. Wow.
Ivan Aguiar well it judt took time
cool video. great percussion!
I learned to play a left-handed guitar upside down, playing like the right-hander I am, when teaching a leftie how to play. Once you wrap your head around it, it's not so hard.
awesome
IDK... best video ever?
Nice job Jerry....Twitchy..
Jersey makes the best.
Looking good Jerry.....Twitchy...
got round to checking out any more of their stuff yet?
so random, but so great
Look at all these dads
breakfasty tempo
Was that the concert at their anniversary? I was there! I went by myself because there was only one ticket for sale out side. It was fantastic. You are so Lucky!!
Well to make it easy if you put a capo on the 2nd fret it looks like the intro/verse/chorus is built around- Am, C, G, F. Obviously its more complicated than that but those are the chords at least, not all of us are as godly as the wrens.
This song is great, did it get some radio play or was it on a videogame? It's strangely familiar.
If that story is true, that is fucking rad.
holy, has it been six years?
*11
and another 6
hi, im from the future
@@hier3094 i feel old
You are the luckiest person in the world
Wow that is awesome! How did you get set up with this? What an experience!
no, it's way more awesome than that. they make left-handed instruments, and you can restring right-handed instruments to play them 'properly' as a leftie, but he does neither! He's playing right-handed-strung instruments upside down, in other words the string order is reversed (as it would be for a violinist) which is difficult and amazing and totally rockstarish.
the wrens are god.
The heads in the back freak me out...
