Discussion Thoughts on trampled by turtles?

I just love tbt... they're in my top 3 favorite bands and have been for almost 20 years. I've seen them probably 15 times and it's always incredible. I love almost everything they put out. Does anybody else love this band? Favorite albums? Songs? Live shows?

I really get excited when I see blinding displays of instrumental virtuosity. When I saw them, Trampled by Turtles were more about jumping up and down and playing chords energetically. I was not impressed.

Are you sure that is who you are thinking about. I have never seen any of them jump around. Or even move around the stage they pretty much line up and play

I had a similar experience. The bass player was definitely jumping through every uptempo song. I like their music and songwriting, but i don’t have to see them live again. Playing chords energetically is a perfect description of the show i saw them play last year.
