Here in 2022, it's amazing how much more confident Ellie has become as a performer (saw her in Columbus last year, it was incredible). It's really cool seeing my favorite band change so much in a relatively short amount of time :)

Her voice is like an instrument. Her discomfort doesn't affect her performance. So unique although i agree there is a bit of Cranberries influence there. Yet Ellie is certainly her own soul. She seems to tune into some channel all her own. Brilliant!

Some similarity, not a lot. She actually has more fragility than Dolores. Plus she's English, not Irish. She did grow up in an Irish/English community though.

A "bit" would mean only a small amount. Ellie looks fragile here but there are times she is a very confident front woman taking the lead in live performances. But I also know all too well about Irish women, having lived with a woman of pure Irish ancestry for years.

Watch their latest performance at Glastonbury. Night & Day.

I've watched this a number of times but I've just noticed something amazing: in the second song, the guitar and voice start together, so there is no reference point, musically speaking, for her to start on the right note. She just does. They both start at the same time, but are both immediately in tune with each other. Incredible...perfect pitch???

He was tuning his guitar for like a minute. Pretty easy to grab her pitch from that

Takes me back to the great eighties band the Sundays. So sweet.

Very cool performance. These songs work brilliantly as acoustic arrangements. It's amazing how much Ellie's stage presence has evolved since 2016. Here, she was shy and a little awkward. Compare that to her confidence and even swagger at some points in Wolf Alice's 2021 performance at the Reading Festival.

Her shyness here reminds me of Hope Sandoval, I can't give a bigger compliment than that.

With 3 albums behind them now they should do another, significantly longer one!!

Only discovered them this year. They are incredible.

Since it isn't already listed in the video, the names of the performers are: Ellie Rowsell - Vocals Joff Oddie - Guitar Theo Ellis - Bass Joel Amey - Drums

okay, i cried to Bros. that version is incredible.

There is something magical in this performance

Her voice is so beautiful in this stripped down setting, i can see why she started as an acoustic singer. I also really love "Zero Hour" from "Visions," where she sounds ethereal & haunting.

One of the best groups around in the past decade. Ellie's vocals are always sweet.

the version of bros in this video is simply beautiful, im so in love, the whole concert was amazing, but bros was beyond amazing idk

What an amazing perfomance! I just love Ellie's voice.

Never thought Wolf Ailce would dare to go accoustic. They look a bit nervous and uncomfortable, but I think it's courageous and turning out great.

There’s actually quite a bit of acoustic sets with these guys they’re very good at it ! some of the best acoustic sets I’ve ever seen I keep saying what impresses me the most is people forget these are kids writing these adult mature lyrically impressive songs, and performing at a professional level, that’s what makes them so impressive to me ! imagine what they would be like when they get in their 30s and beyond and still playing music 💝💝💝

And I like Wolf Alice a lot. Ellie may have seemed awkward and shy but she's got it together. They have a good sense of humour. This is a great platform for promoting any artist. A petite MTV is what it is.

This is easily the best Tiny Desk feature. It brilliantly illustrates what it’s supposed to be - a stripped back acoustic session.

It's definitely a non-classical vibrato, but it works. Ellie has since developed a more professional vibrato, which is crucial for their material on Blue Weekend. Very impressive, especially considering that she has had no vocal training.

Lovely performance, I thoroughly enjoyed it: raw, eerie and alluring. The unplugged/acoustic sound suits them, IMO. I definitely look forward to hearing more from them in this style.

What a great band. Proving that they've got the chops to play acoustically. Her voice is beautiful . Soulful. So many people try to over sing these days. I blame the XFactor. More like Wolf Alice please!

The best Tiny Desk ever! I've watched it at least 50 times and it still gives me goosebumps at times!

Joel and Ellies voices are like peanut butter and jelly. sooo nice

So cool! A real band with a singer who has a pretty voice!

A regular on my re-watch list since 2016, great performance!

5yrs on and I've only recently discovered (Blue Weekend) the band....still, this raw and pure version of Bros....

Just stumbled across this after hearing Bros for the first time on the radio. Can’t get enough of this acoustic version, I’m now quickly catching up with their work, how fast you ask? To give you a reference point I am somewhere between a snake and a mongoose…and a panther.

That beady eye song, the guitar slide, kills me, so lovely and cool sounding. And her voice is pure magic!

This version of Bros is just so good bro

Outstanding! Really great how well they executed an acoustic set.

By far the best version of this song. Can’t get enough of it.

This is possibly one of the best videos out there, I just love this so much

everything ive ever wanted i love you guys

This was amazing! So nice to hear this band change the tempo and still sound wonderful!

I love these guys! Such a unique sound.

I love this camera shoot on Pisces Iscariot on shelf! Best ever b-sides and outtakes record by Smashing pumpkins

Can't wait to see you in October 😍

No kidding! Wonderfully simple & beautiful. Luv these guys, & just finally discovered their name. Thanx for this!
