This extended intro is everything, so groovy, this band can do no wrong

[@Solonghoney]

I search far and wide for vibes like this.

[@pabze]

lay some more on me. im a wanderer myself

[@comababe]

@@pabze if you guys are looking for GOD TIER vibes check out front man's Miles Michaud's radio show "Reverberation Radio" there is a seemingly infinite supply of kick ass world music

[@koolkitty108]

Listen to this. I think it’s similar: The Surfdusters

[@MrSookazz]

the growlers

[@jelena25212]

PONTA PRETA ! French dudes u can’t be disappointed ❤️💗

[@charlesheck3680]

This band needs to be known more

[@mariekatherine5238]

H E C K, yes!

[@danapuzzo2750]

voice crack on first line hahaha, these guys are great.

[@LenapeSF]

Allah Las has always had a unique/killer/retro vibe. Makes my ears beg for more in 2020 (Edit) & beyond.

[@JoshDRivia]

I mean you could just listen to anything else from the 60s and 70s 🤣

[@LenapeSF]

@@JoshDRivia I'm 65 yo so I have listened to a lot of the oldies. Allah-Las put out a fresh take on the music I grew up with, esp. psych rock. Please be safe in these chaotic times.

[@JoshDRivia]

@@LenapeSF yeh they sound good, very nostalgic. I'm a 90s lad so I missed this kind of stuff. Lot of times I wished I lived through this sort of music. You too pal

[@jakesmith9264]

Check out The Nude Party. Great band that sound like early stones.

[@LenapeSF]

@@jakesmith9264 Awesome! That's my Fri. nite project. TY, greetings from OK & please be safe. These are weird times we live in.

[@Lameyluck]

Walking around the house rocking my kid to sleep, and after a long day, this is just what I needed to hear to close the night with a smile.

[@muarifsumahar9139]

THIS SONG IS SO GOOOOODD

[@jacobfisher7310]

I will play this on my own. Catamaran one day.

[@carlosu1021]

Jacob Fisher hell yeah man

[@manuelcoronilla9412]

God bless you brother, yes you will

[@brendanf.m.748]

dope as fuck. i love this fucking band. first i heard put the arrow through my heart.

[@alistairproductions]

I want the Allah La's to form one of those super mega band things with The Growlers

[@connorferrand527]

Matthew Alistair and then hit the road with Pavement, BRMC, and the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

[@mcjug1350]

Lmao yes and mystic braves with the buttertones

[@averagejoegrows]

the growlers are SHIT!

[@Medroizz]

[@FlowerPowerRockGirl]

Both fantastic bands and when they would played together live maybe all of us would be in heaven with love and rhythm and sex and peace, and rock roll.. 😎😂😘💋💕😉🎶👌😋🎉🦋🦗✌️🏵️🦋

[@scottross7455]

One of two fav Allah-La's songs...the other being "Sacred Sands."

[@jbroesch4300]

Wat an awesome intro!

[@jbball647]

intro is fire

[@sygnsr]

damn, I keep listening to it!

[@WayaWolf]

Dude I just found their band right now, and god damn is it good!!!

[@pabze]

[@1dreamfoundationcanada]

who loves the sun, sweet jane, some kind of love, beggining to see the light...man trust me a huge VU fan i have listened to all of their albums its very common to see VU influence in modern bands they were great

[@whb1959]

they have a great sound

[@brickteethmob]

This jam is epic

[@aquadee91]

In tune...Out of tune... Red strat...or not a red strat. Surprisingly people still expect studio perfection on a live set. I really don't care it still sounds great to me! But we can all agree that the maracas guy is flyin high, man.

[@eliangarcia2486]

Dee Ramirez def!!

[@jacobfisher7310]

Dee Ramirez its about breaking through in the music to the other side. Its not always about what the popular want.

[@pavithraj2303]

Haha this is the best thing ive read today

[@marcelvervloesem2762]

Damn good music....grtz from Belgium

[@tomatocan2502]

All right All right,..I'll admit it . Netflix brought me here. There I said. now i'm gonna go back and keep watching the intro.

[@giovannidiaz1082]

Netflix? How? I'm curious.

[@briantimoshanko7535]

Same here!

[@naruii5160]

Where is this from?

[@tobe144]

I think there is a (great) scene in "queen's gambit" with some track by allah-las in the Background.

[@jelena25212]

I mean, they're filiming surrounded by bikes. I love them so much makes me travel

[@19gt92]

Just an amazing band

[@gwizardstar1]

luv that bass man ;0)

[@MizMite2002]

very faithful to the recording. wicked.

[@lumaz71]

great sound.

[@trapananda9414]

This is a great cover band,simulating bands from the 50's ... or rather is pure decadence in popular music.

[@flaviours]

En mi dosis con Allah-Las !

[@JoshDRivia]

I like the songs, bit iterative of all the 60s shit, but then I'm from the 90s so I've never heard any of it... I dig it good job fellas

[@drpepperr]

I effing LOVE this!

[@walagloulou1195]

Come to Paris !!!

[@TheAerials]

That guy needs a vintage mic.

[@max3d0ut1]

You're the best

[@steves1588]

There was a time when virtuosity of your instrument was important along with knowledge of melody and harmony were important. And then came rock n roll and the skills of a Jr High musician were all you needed.

[@averagejoegrows]

ha shut up u fucking kook

[@nelsonsloan]

The jam!🎉

[@eliasjulianprado5093]

Out in the water, WhEerRe you gonna find me

[@MrHeartless321]

Looking forward to seeing them play live at Dingwalls in Camden next month

[@whb1959]

kinda a 60's southern california surfer scene sound

[@cantina2425]

do you know if that style has a name

[@whb1959]

I would say indie ...but it does have a blues sound to it

[@whb1959]

they have a nice sound I think

[@txdylan27]

Garage Rock/Surf Rock, just in case you hadn't found the name of the genre yet.

[@graemerobb4860]

surf rock.

[@Melaniapaleo]

Seen them live yesterday... tremendous! xD

[@1dreamfoundationcanada]

i definitely hear some velvet underground here, but none the less quite enjoyable

[@connorferrand527]

Tune it up guys

[@eliangarcia2486]

Connor Ferrand who knew being out of tune could sound so great.

[@acstnhl]

dat fiesta red strat

[@Funnylovefunnylife]

Holy fuck, this is amazing.

[@thodoris1178]

we need a version with this intro recorded

[@robertobarajas2568]

Me recuerda mucho a 13th Floor Elevators y Roky Erickson

[@sammossa2368]

This is Cobain guitar

[@naiduvga1612]

nice retro mod from days of psyche gone by. very refreshing.

[@NightTrainZ]

Righteous!

[@fernandovilla3956]

Kind of tune you listen to at the beach

[@richardvalenzuela3723]

Ese corte klo me gusta a mi ❤ 2023

[@ThwompKid]

It's a Danelectro '59 Bass

[@michaelw6277]

Ok so the cat playing the Jaguar… wtf is he using for a pick? Is it a regular pick that he’s holding in an abnormal, super loose way or is he holding a small brush or something? Really cool effect he’s got going with it.

[@jbball647]

Killer intro

[@GUAVcis06]

I didn’t know Kramer had a band

[@grimmydimmbot]

gooba gooba

[@jane2242]

Sexy 60"s Vibe ❤️

[@SirReggie]

so sick

[@Red_Vega]

I think the biggest problem here isn't the tuning, but the fact that he has a cherry red strat in a band like allah las

[@AstroSLOTH393]

Red Vega Dick Dale used a strat in pretty much everything. Nothing wrong with using a strat in a surf band, especially if the king of surf music used one. Also i don't think it's cherry red at all, it seems to me to be more of a fiesta red or dakota red. Since it has a rosewood neck I'd say it's Dakota red.

[@Red_Vega]

AstroSloth im not questioning the strat itself, but the *color* of the strat hahaha strat master race

[@gabbyc3444]

Hahahhahaha

[@4fAnro]

Its fiesta red. My dad owns one too

[@alejandrobarrientos5584]

These foos are fucking jamming

[@darby7136]

The drummer is said to weigh in at 164 lbs, half of which are all the drugs flowing through his system.
