Swimming With Dolphins - Full Set! w/ Exclusive Interview! Live in HD
Музыка
Owl City's old side project! One year after posting our biggest feature ever on Owl City, here is exclusive live footage of Adam Young's former side project with Austin Tofte, Swimming With Dolphins. After Owl City skyrocketed in popularity, Swimming With Dolphins became Austin Tofte's solo project. If you're a fan of Owl City you're sure to love this band just as much. Be sure to read our exclusive interview with Austin below!
Check out Swimming With Dolphins at:
MySpace.com/SwimmingWithDolphins
BVTV: So after not coming out with any new music for the past year and a half you finally put up a brand new song on MySpace, will you be releasing a full-length album soon?
Austin: Yep, sometime in 2010.
BVTV: Are you playing any unreleased songs on this tour?
Austin: Yes about 4 unreleased songs were played this tour.
BVTV: Are you still producing the songs with Adam or are you doing it all on your own now?
Austin: As of right now everything is being done by myself.
BVTV: You used to tour as part of Owl City's live band, what made you decide not to continue doing that?
Austin: Conflict of interest, I guess. His management decided they didn't need me anymore. I'm happier and better off where I am now though, for sure and Adam and I are still friends so it's all good.
BVTV: Are there any big things coming up for you after this tour?
Austin: Just finishing the new album and enjoying the summer!
Alright, and a bunch of fun questions for you:
BVTV: What's the most embarrassing thing that's ever happened to you on tour?
Austin: I'm sure there's worse but the this ones recent: I randomly decided to play "up in the stars" as an acoustic encore at Chain Reaction in Anaheim and having not played it in about 8 months I completely forgot the structure and some lyrics so I made a realllllly strange rendition of it on the fly. It kind of worked I guess, it was just funny knowing how terribly I was massacring it. Everyone sang along and made it fun though!
BVTV: How about the craziest tour story?
Austin: I think you can ask most bands and they would have at least one crazy story of a Philadelphia visit. Our last one was on the cusp of being of getting pretty wild. We were saved by a friend who put us up in her tiny apartment though. For the sake of keeping it short, I'll just say don't go to Philly without an escape plan, haha.
BVTV: What's the most trouble you have ever gotten into?
Austin: I told my mom to shut up once when I was little and the look on her face made me feel like I was in more trouble than I could ever be.
BVTV: What's your favorite movie of all time?
Austin: The Life Aquatic
BVTV: What's the best joke you've ever heard?
Austin: I can never remember jokes, so I'm not joke teller. I read a terrible Laffy Taffy one last night though so it's still fresh in my head...
Why did the mother cat put all of her kittens in the trash?
Because she didn't want to litter.
BVTV: Mac or PC?
Austin: Mac
BVTV: What programs do you guys use to record?
Austin: Reason 4, Logic and Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing.
BVTV: What kind of cell phone do you have? (If iPhone, what's your favorite App?)
Austin: Blackberry
BVTV: Anything you want to say to the fans before you go?
Austin: Don't play C-Low with Bobby Darling unless you're looking to lose.

@alphamoose4385 didn't do anything to Owl City. He's always been consistent. Only thing is he chose not to evolve musically. But he just received his diamond plaque for Fireflies, so he's been quite successful.

@@iResonate if you listen to Fiji water it clearly tells you that adam was not happy w his label and I don't think he ever wanted to go the pop route that they made him go in.
honestly.... one of the best intros to a set I've ever heard.
The only problem with him is that he yells when he sings live. If he just toned it down a bit, it would probably sound a lot better.

I think the bigger problem is that his mic is distorting and they're getting a shit load of feedback in the room
That intro *-*
How can you not be in love with this performance!? I was completely amazed by the energy and authenticity of the session. I'm so gonna rewatch this. I so love the studio version of the albums but hearing this made me like these songs even more.
TIMESTAMPS 0:00 : Intro 3:40 : Holiday 8:22 : Silhouettes 15:24 : I Was A Lover 20:10 : Sunset, 1989 23:26 : Everything's A Miracle 30:35 : Jacques Cousteau
Every once in a while I jump on my computer and you make my day with wicked sets like this. keep up the good work. love BVTV!
I love these full sets! They make me so happy!
i love this session and i am looking forward to listen to this again.

@DTRBfilms You're welcome! Pass it along if you have any friends that like them too. =]
I actually love the grittiness in Austin's voice in this live performance. I thought this was a great electronic performance. It was different. It contained a lot of energy and at the end of the day it's all about entertainment. And I was highly entertained. I'm so excited for the new album to be released.
YAY
And he didn't use the intro on the album. Dammit. I was looking forward to it.
his sunset 1989 solo sounds so good like that :DD
This is dope. I feel like im in that movie Aspen Extreme
Pretty Good.
I was so happy to see him when I went to an Owl City show, it was a nice surprise.
@KakiIsSoNinja You're very welcome, thank you so much for watching! =]
Can somebody please post the song list? It would be much appreciated.
People can hate on Austin's voice as much as they want but I really like it. I kind of enjoy the grittiness of it
I was fully depressed by Austin's performance on stage

@jstew0525 Yeah dude! It's stressful getting everything ready for it, but I just received one of the confirmation emails today, so that put me in a good mood. =] haha
@TommyCycles dude omg i KNOWWW!!! everytime i hear this intro it pisses me off how could they not add that? at least a bonus track? itunes download? dumb
Wheres that new record huh?
@DiAmOnDsCeNeKiD You're welcome! =]
you should do a Thursday, Vanna, or Circa Survive video those are magnificent live bands :D
I spy rob chianelli from we are the in crowd :) he kind of stands out because of his badass hair lol :)
@jstew0525 Yep.
@tipyw Holiday. it's from the new album.
@hotwheelz20072 Thanks so much! =]
@Ondra273 I know and I love it :D!
it is just the song Holiday but like a different version of it I think he only does it at his live shows
I had wondered what happened to this band. :]
@Iamtheblueinthesky Yes, Holiday is in the same key as the intro, but it's still not the intro.
@jstew0525 It's good to comment on here though. The more comments, the higher up on the charts the video shows up. haha
@xdragon718 agreed.
Oh my goodness. He should stick to not doing live sessions. 0_0

@WilliamBWify Thanks! =] I don't have to pay to get in, and yes I do make money for being a KZread partner. The pay isn't that great though when you consider all the hours of work that go into it. Hopefully when I have twice as many subscribers a year from now I'll be making a much more decent amount and can actually hire a crew to work with me.
@jstew0525 Sounds PERFECT. =] hahaha
@tworescuebreaths i like the screams(:
He looks kinda lonely without Adam. :/ Plus, his stomping is messing up his singing. Can't he at least tap his foot lightly?
@cahtopher Maybe that was the effect they wanted mang.
@ak99superstar how do you become a youtube partner?
His voice! LOL
