The Living Tombstone is a collaborative music project between Yoav Landau and Sam Haft. It originated as Yoav's YouTube channel in 2011, which has grown to over five million subscribers by 2021. Sam Haft describes The Living Tombstone as an 'internet band', while the channel's official description labels it a musical project.

Yoav Landau, a musician from Tel Aviv, Israel, produces original music and remixes. Born on April 4, 1992, his experimental style draws influences from rock and EDM genres. Sam Haft, an actor and writer from London, England, born in 1990, contributes rap vocals and also sings in the band's newer songs.

In its early days under Yoav Landau's sole direction, the project produced significant fan music for the brony community and frequently collaborated with other artists such as Mic The Microphone and WoodenToaster. During this time, Yoav Landau was also part of the band Twenty Ten while active in the brony scene.
Fan reviews:

Amazing sound, great stage presence, amazing music! The Living Tombstones has been a band I've been a fan of for years and them being my first concert ever, they definitely lived up the to hype I've had about them over the years. This concert was amazing, the vibes the whole time had the crowd moving!

Best thing ever! I had so much fun I honestly almost cried. I love this band and they were so interactive with the audience as well! I wish I could experience the show all over again.

Amazing! One of the greatest nights of my life, I got to be at the front row and the performance was amazing.

A must see you listen to TLT! An amazing, high-quality show that had a lot of thought and passion put into it. The sound, lighting, and costumes were amazing. The music choices highlighted the best of TLT both new and old. Sam and Yoav did a signing and meet and greet afterwards and were both so nice and friendly. Definitely a must see show that fans who grew up with TLT and newer fans can both enjoy!

Best moment of my life, everything that remains in my life cannot match it.

A surreal and awesome experience. The costumes are fantastic, visually it's a treat. There's so many fun colors and the band members are really funny and show a lot of personality throughout the show. It was incredibly surreal to hear these "internet songs" performed live with hundreds of other people singing along. I don't quite know how to describe the feeling of everyone people shouting "I'm already Tracer" or singing the FNAF song all in unison, but it's definitely worth experiencing. Their original song catalog is also really amazing, can't wait for the new album!
The Living Tombstone was the main act at Emo's Austin with guests Qbomb. They continue across the United States with the last stop at the The Beacham in Orlando, Florida on September 14, 2024.
