I hadn't bothered to look into this band because my plate was already pretty full of bands and songs and all kinds of music-geek-research that I wanted to get through before the festival, but then I saw them on Craig Ferguson...and...now I have to see them.

This song is just so damn catchy and it's been stuck in my head ever since.

Is anybody a big fan of them? can you recommend some other songs that I should listen to? or should I just pick up the CD and go from there? are they established? do they have more than 1 CD? which CD should I listen to!?! *head explode*

basically what I'm asking is, has anybody done the research for me already?

Here's some useful info (FYI - I'm not being a smartass):

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Local_Natives

They have only one lp right now but have a pretty decent buzz band. I'm actually seeing them this Friday in Chicago, so I'll be able to tell you more about them later this weekend. That said, I love their album (I would give it 4 out of 5 stars) and hear their live shows are tits.

I listened to their CD prior to them being announced on the line-up and thought they were great and they have since become one of the main bands that I am catching that weekend. They have such a great sound to them that one cannot dislike them. Gorilla Manor is their only album, as pointed out above, and it is truly a great listen. If you're pissed off or angry for any reason this CD will put you in a better mood for sure!

excellent. They seem to have a lot more energy live compared to the studio version of Airplanes.

I have tickets to see them on Governor's Island (NYC) in August just in case some shit goes down or something. I'm taking no chances, I will see this band.

Local Natives is Fleet Foxes if Fleet Foxes came from a bright, California city instead of the archetypal woods.
Local Natives is Grizzly Bear if Grizzly Bear decided to stop being boring and subtle.

Speaking of Fleet Foxes does anyone have a clue what's happened to them? They were on the rise and then it seems that they have dropped off the map! They kicked at Sasquatch 2008! Patiently waiting for a follow up!

They were at Sasquatch 2009 (and All Points West 2009, playing the role of "wizards who brought rain") and are probably working on a new album now. Wikipedia says late 2010 release.

The last couple of years, they toured their asses off. So they decided to take a little break to work on a new album plus a couple of the guys are doing some side projects. We should see them touring again late 2010 - early 2011

I'm interested to hear about your first hand experience with their live show. If I do make it in to see Caribou at 12 I was thinking about checking them out. Report back!

I'm so syked to see them. I actually checked out their album about a week before the line up was released after reading a few favorable reviews and was very excited to see their name announced. After Surfer Blood's album its my favorite debut release of the year thus far. I don't know anything about their live shows but have read good things. I'm also eager to read mazdawg's update after he sees them live. Have fun man!

I was surprised to hear the song selection they played on the late show. The first time I heard it, I chuckled at the randomness of the lyrics and pace near the early part of the song. I still laugh when I hear that song, and consider skipping it each time I listen to the album.

Maybe I just don't want another Fleet Foxes, since that's been done, so it doesn't sound new and fresh when I listen to them, even though I like their music.

To each their own, I'll be at Midlake.
