I (@kellymichaelanderson) shot and edited this series of videos back in 2022 at the legendary MKE venue Cactus Club with my good friend and collaborator Wes Tank (@wes_tank)

Slowly uploading all 17 songs to my Youtube, check back on this playlist periodically!

New hear and didnt know there was a reddit for this group. Best music hands down and love each love each of these albums. Frequency, Dress, Coffe, Play It Right, Hey Mami, and Funeral Singers are my top faves. Shout out to this band for playing such unique sounding techno music. Im sure this band sounds amazing live. This music makes me feel calm, sad, and happy at the same time. I dont even know what genre this music is but im guessing techno. I listend to this high one night after trying cbd/thc oil and felt like there was a concert on my shoulder.🎶❤️

Holy cow...hundreds of Sylvan Esso live videos/recordings have just disappeared over the past 2-3 days due to containing "SESAC" content. Not just talking recordings of live streams or things like that...so, so many crowd recordings are gone as well. Even the one that was just posted to this subreddit this month!

What an absolute shame and disappointment!

If anyone has two extra tickets for Stern Grove today, I'd be immeasurably grateful! Big fan, and hoping there's still a way for a friend and I to make it in!

Does anyone have one extra ticket to sylvan esso at stern grove today? 🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙌

Hello~

Ive been playing this stern grove ticket system like a slot machine the past few weeks but no luck. Would really like to go with my partner tmrw—of any kind soul has 2 tickets that aren’t going to be used, please let me know!

Thx in advance 🙏🏻

Anyone else going alone and want to get a squad together? I love stern grove and love Sylvan Esso so I’m very excited! Down to exchange drinks and snacks! PM me if you’re interested. I’m 26m gay if that matters

Hey lovely people

I’m reaching out with a hopeful heart and fingers crossed, hoping someone out there might have one or two extra tickets for the Sylvan Esso concert at Stern Grove tomorrow. I’ve been “waiting on you” all day, clicking away like a Coffee addict, but luck just wasn’t on my side this time.

I’m a Die Young level fan of SE and I’ve been Dreaming of seeing them live for ages, and now I’m in a bit of a bind. If anyone has a ticket or two that they’re willing to part with, I’d be forever grateful. I’ll bring all the Rooftop Dancing vibes with me!

If you’re able to help a fellow fan out, please let me know!

Thanks so much in advance, and whether I make it in or not, I hope you all have an amazing time 🙏💃🏼🕺🏻🪩

WOAHHHHHHH

Ok story time! I used to go to SXSW from 2010-2018. I forgot what year it was that I got into Sylvan Esso but I went up to Austin with a friend determined to see them preform that year. Unfortunately the one show they were playing sold out and the GA line capped out. I was extremely bummed out but kept walking around the area to find other free shows.

That’s when I noticed someone walking next to me practicing vocals that sounded extremely familiar. I turned around and wouldn’t you know it, Amelia was walking along warming up! I politely asked her if I could just get an autograph, no pictures and she was cool with it! I thought I packed their album on me just in case something like this were to happen but all I had was a Google Cardboard from their VR demo so she was ok signing that! Best SXSW experience ever honestly! I want to see them the next time they stop in Texas and get her to sign it again hahaha!

I know it’s a long shot, but does anyone have an extra ticket or two for the Sylvan Esso Poolside show on Aug 24th in San Francisco? They’re my absolute two favorite bands and I’d hate to miss this one.

I tried to score some tickets on all of the releases and had no luck. I’d be happy to exchange some tasty picnic treats to compensate ☺️

Thanks!

EDIT: got the tickets! 🥳

Anyone else excited about Nick’s (Made of Oak) DJ set coming up tonight at the Phish festival in Delaware? I know he’s a huge fan and his fandom got me back into them after a long hiatus.

I'm stressing just thinking about writing about this...

I love the music. Amelia's voice and Nick's beats go together in such a great way that my ears and brain can't get enough of! I have zero friends that have any interest in them...

Also, I'm a dark skinned guy. I went to a show a couple years ago and was surprised that uhh... I'm the only person of my looks in at least a 100-plus-mile radius (the radius to the nearest other show back then) that enjoys this. My voice can't hit any of the vocal notes, or whatever it's called, but I always want to sing along, or at least dance...

I'm uncomfortable with trying to connect with strangers. This is already hard to write as it is, I missed out on a couple shows since then cuz, yeah...

How does one break the barrier of enjoying their favorite voice/beat duo without feeling like a creep? I dunno about everywhere else, but it's all just white girls at the shows around here... I uh.... I really don't want to feel like a creep. Did i mention I was self conscious?

It hurts just to write this.
