Young the Giants formed in Irvine, California back in 2004. Sameer Gadhia (lead vocals), Jacob Tilley (guitar), Eric Cannata (guitar), Payam Doostzadeh (bass guitar), and François Comtois (drums). Formerly known as The Jakes. These guys have been learning their indie rock roots since high school and college. These artists are acoustic goodness!

| Don’t let hurt curve it that way But I said mama please take me home Said I can’t stand bein’ alone Cause the pain is shooting down my spine again I said daddy’s feelin’ sick I think he’s gonna quit Sweetness On the mouth of your caress Twilight pass the stars of that open night |
These guys have opened for Neon Trees, Marina and the Diamonds and Kings of Leons. The band has paid their dues at South by Southwest and Sasquatch music festival, as well and even a gig on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
You may have heard their songs on MTV's The Real World: Brooklyn. These guys are spreading their music to great new heights with all sorts of media.
