I got to see these guys a few weeks back when they played Bowery Ballroom, and I haven't stopped listening to them since. If you haven't heard GIVERS' debut album (In Light) yet, you should totally check it out. It sounds like what Vampire Weekend would sound like if Ezra Koenig took as many mushrooms as the boys from Animal Collective.
Their whole aesthetic translates well live, with the band jumping around the stage like they're just messing around in their basement. I had the luxury of meeting the lead singer, Tiffany Lamson, after the show and I could see that the music was a complete reflection of her personality. She's sweet but doesn't take herself too seriously. In fact, when I complimented her voice she was like "What are you talking about? I sound like nails on a chalkboard!"
