I remember seeing the video for Club Thing and thinking, “Oh, this guy’s an R&B artist.” It was shades of Justin Timberlake. A pretty cool song, but nothing more amazing about it than that. Then I did a little research and found that he was doing all of that with an acoustic guitar and a few pedals, including a loop pedal (which I then had to run out and buy!)

Here’s a link to the music video.

And here’s what it actually looks like when he performs it live:

I saw Yoav back in May and he’s as good live as on this video. It’s like the guy’s a machine. I’ve seen people look like real asses with a loop pedal. You’ve got to be really precise. I also like the lyrics to this one. It combines the darkness and edginess of the club scene with more traditional singer/guitarist songwriting (a genre which, along with rock, has lost a lot of its true edge lately in my humble opinion).

Thanks to John for pointing me to this particular video!
