haven't heard them yet, but this thread is a helpful reminder. seems like i saw a favorable mention in one of the british hifi mags about them (maybe within the last year or so?) and if memory serves dylan noticed them and was impressed enough to include them in one of his tours. i put them on my mental list then, but that sticky note fell off the fridge somewhere in my mind i guess.......
Has everyone heard the Waif's?
Just wanted to make sure that everyone interested in folk, altcountry, Americana, etc music had checked out the Aussie band the Waif's. I was turned onto them a few years ago by my downstairs neighbor who hailed from Oz. I bring them up because I just threw on their fairly new (2005) live album, A Brief History of the Waif's, and it's so unbeleivably good I can't imagine anyone not liking it. Admittedly I may be a bit biased since I love this band, but I urge you to check them out. Either the live album mentioned already or their studio album Up All Night. Hopefully you'll thank me!
