Saw this band at the 6th & I in dc last night. Very small venue (200 people?) and I was blown away. Excellent harmonies between the brothers and the harp player (yes they lug around a harp). Nice bluesy, folky sound, but with tape loop drone / feedback / sound effects. I think they're playing Letterman tonight.

I've just discovered their album (Sleeping Operator) and have been really digging on it. The 1-2 punch to start the album in particular grabbed my attention:
The Barr Brothers - Static Orphans/Love Ain't Enough

I share their last name and I have two brothers. I feel like we have not been doing it right, though.

I'm going to do it at dusk when my neighbor might mistake it for an alien spacecraft.

I keep thinking this is going to be some kind of joke thread about Ruddo

Next time I'm with both of my brothers I'm going to have us cover Galway Girl and post it in this thread.

This is phenomenal. I'm diving headfirst into the Barr Bros rabbit hole ASAP.
