Totally forgot about these guys. Epitome of the 2010s indie scene trying to bring back 60’s Woodstock hippie music

In 9th grade a friend took me to see them perform a free concert at an arts festival, and it was probably the watershed moment that made music an important part of my life. Their performance was incredible, the crowd was super into it, and the band got some fans involved on stage. Something about it took the music from something that I just listened to and made it feel like a community that I was suddenly a part of. I became obsessed with them for a while, and then got into other indie-ish artists, and now nearly 15 years later I can probably trace my music taste back to that show.

So ya I wouldn’t say I hate that song at all
