Let the bassline put you into trance, slow those biorhythms down and you will survive on pure harmonic energy for another week or 3

Just discovered this song. Listening and listening and listening....wearing it out!

[@johndorn2450]

Took my daughter to see TC at Summerfest in Milwaukee a few years ago. We got all worked up with the warm-up band and got front and center. The sun went down, the lights came on, the fog rolled in off of Lake Michigan and the show was ON! Such a great concert and an unforgettable night.

This tune reminds me a little bit of Soulfly

[@BatoCongo88]

[@zaineba7319]

You know why ? Because people who listen to rock / metal generally have a great music taste. So whenever there is something good enough , you'll vibe to it

Thought you had write a "Heavy Mentallist" Lol

[@juanadeasbaje5126]

I worked at this coffee shop for few yers , thats how i got to listen TC , they are awesome .

I really love watching these guys play their instruments. The way they move and get into it. Especially the guys on bass & drums.

[@akumal1985]

Grooviest bass player ever.

[@karenvarian1174]

Love the bass player!!

[@standardofexcellence]

My fave

[@JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

Groovy movin, but he's not actually playing a groovy bass line (for my taste, anyway) I'm a bass player, and I'm soo bored with music where the bass does basically nothing except mirror the kick drum ... (boom - boom - boom, boom - boom) sigh ...

[@jpaytonk]

Yeah... well, that's just like, your opinion man.

[@JohnWilliamsFromBluff]

Haha! Too true.

Thievery Corporation concert ticket: $50 Two double shots of Hennessy, beer: $100 To see Frank and Rob and listening to their different songs in awe of their multiple vocalists and to experience the whole Thievery Corporation thing you’ve been listening since ages, to breath in their tunes being amazed how much better they sound live, breathing in the vibe of the same air they are breathing performing for you bringing their very best art to you: priceless.

Just watched the movie "Side Effects" which has this song in it! I had to come here to visit who these talented people are! The music is hypnotic and alluring! And it's not every day that you can find a group with a sitar and just want to rock out! Love!

[@py_a_thon]

Check out Mdou Moctar and thank someone else for something else later. They don't use a Sitar, yet there is a sort of cultural universality to how they play electric guitar (and sing).

[@raincruz5489]

Amazing to see you guys play this, one of my alltime faves of yours for sure. ♥️

[@sonjalaton5929]

That bass player has the funk!!

[@SEAPanel]

Rob Garza is kind of a contemporary Barry White in that he seems to be in love with the sound itself and he'll do whatever it takes to get the sound right. A band half as good as TC would hire a half-arsed sitar player or just do it with synth. But Garza and Hilton just do what it takes to make it unforgettable.

[@captainbart]

They made the Motor City vibrate 2 weeks ago. Most lumenaries blow thru town, do the set list, an encore, and its back to the hotel. Not TC. They knocked down the wall, took the audience wherever, and than went across the street clubbin', with the fans. Seasoned yet fresh, TC is as "tight" as any Motown group, and as tough as any Detroit garage band.

[@hedshovel]

I love Thievery Corporation, they are an awesome band! But I had to laugh to myself when I read the comment about the sitar... honestly, it's nothing special... it's downright basic. Still, it fits the music, fits the vibe.

[@carlnik8435]
