Bartees Strange - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@willjones4992]

this guy is going to be massive. he is the embodiment of everything people are really digging about the alternative music coming out these days leaning into some of the emo stuff that people are coming back around on but he has that mainstream appeal you rarely hear from artists of his popularity and scene.

[@Baribrotzer]

This guy+musicians is/are all over the map stylistically - everything from Eighties alt-rock to live band hip-hop - and they're good at all of it. It's great. Not enough people have the guts to just follow their ear and do that.

[@Rangoooooo]

This drummer has my heart.

[@tadrimmey8746]

A friend shared the name Bartees Strange with me. I was not familiar with their music. I am so glad that I have learned about this amazing artist! I completely agree with the previous comments. Bartees is all over the place, hitting different genres impeccably. The band is all great, with the drummer totally nailing it! I am now a big fan!!

[@victorroffe9983]

Blown away by the variety of genres and they sound tight as can be - lots of real talent- the drummer is astonishing

[@evelynwoodward-johnson2229]

His new drummer @tkjohnson_ is even moreso and even recently got a Meinl endorsement.

[@donmega054]

Bartees gets better and better and better

[@donmega054]

It's testament to the songwriting and the passion with which they play these songs that they explore the elements, flesh them out, or make them so bombastic. I don't think there's been an artist/group this immediate for me in a long time. From the record, to the evolution of the live shows, to the constant touring. Just incredible.

[@JovanNecakov]

Mr. Strange is a true rocknrolla, never stop what you're doing 'cause we need it.

[@robgoodfellow]

Bartees Strange is bad ass. And the drummer is over the top, low key fire.

[@DrrNickk]

Wow! That synth and drumming on another level!

[@evelynwoodward-johnson2229]

His new drummer is also next-level, and she joined him right after graduating from Berklee College of Music in May 2022. You can follower her along with Sheila E and her other 90k followers. @tkjohnson_

[@willjones4992]

saw him before lucy dacus without knowing what i was in for and he was top 3 live shows i saw all year

[@jacksonmayham4875]

Like how all the band has that chemistry, you can see they love what they're doing and and are deeply moved by their songs. You want to play in a band where it's hard to hold back the tears. Such a great performance

[@nati7728]

everyone in this group is so freaking talented

[@FalardeMusicaeLegal]

How can a band be this good? I traveled through decades of music in just one song. Bartees has been a whole new experience for me. Super brave.

[@ceeb420]

Bartees Strange is an absolute legend. Live Forever is one of the most unique albums I've ever heard in my life, and Kelly Rowland was in my top 5 streamed songs on Spotify last year. I can't wait to hear what his next album is gonna be like.

[@uri674]

Bartees knows the true power of the behringer pedals

[@wr9192]

I was moved to actual tears watching these musicians and listening to these sonic emotions. Unbelievable art this man and his friends create.

[@carvinblack]

Understandable. The melodies pull The Feels.

[@frankthorne11]

The best bands aren't afraid to follow what they really love and trust that their will always be an audience that follow and pay for the privilege . The fans will sing with you.

[@Steven-wm9vu]

This is beyond fantastic. KEXP for life.

[@PedroAraujo-w3c]

well, this the happy discovery of the day this is amazing

[@dsjxo]

Dan and Graham kill it so hard in this one

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

Ok one more comment but has been too many years and am happy to see some Bartees, Strange but thank the Gods... and again many blessings to all involved....

[@theos6848]

[@MonoYMonoRecords]

John Daise for the WIN

[@michaelashby4176]

What an unbelievably diverse set! Each song is incredible, but especially Stone Meadows..my god what a performance from every member

[@modelo2107]

Wow what a sick singer man! Amazing voice and range! Wow!

[@DaYungPaperChaselol]

I told my boss I was working that's a lie/i'm watching this

[@EmeraldAquarium]

So glad this was recommended. Fantastic!

[@thepeaceguy1]

A magical array of instrumental fabulousness

[@reiartefotografia]

Maravilha demais! What a great band!

[@MoonsickStridor]

Of all the newest indie rock artists I've seen come out in the past few years, Bartees Strange (and co) are capital-R "Rock," and I'm so glad that in no way do they sound like the past to my ears. Capital-R Rock that is forward facing is soooooo refreshing.

[@memerman7756]

Saw him when he opened for car seat headrest . Was blown away with the performance

[@herchal]

yup, opened up for interpol in toronto and mustang blew me away

[@fabriccouch]

This is fucking unbelievable. Holy shit. THIS IS WHAT IT IS!

[@nertervern]

Saw them live at BAM. Electric performance! One of the best opening acts I've seen.

[@philiptiley35]

What an incredible band. What an a humble interview. Thanks (AGAIN!) to KEXP for the discovery.

[@TheSpitacular]

Absolutely my new favorite artist.

[@becomingamirror]

Thank you for this joy! I needed to feel something again!

[@borissudakov2492]

[@cutgun1017]

[@schoonda13295]

Epic performance and such a fantastic interview

[@luludelasnubes]

POW-ER-FOOL !! Amazing punch and vibes !

[@RobDykester]

love the drummer's t-shirt

[@raykolcun752]

Amazing talent. I'm late to this party, but I did check out his album, and I'm not being critical at all, but live this band brings it hard, without the overwhelming atmospheric reverb that seems to be common with indie bands at this point. Fantastic musicianship, exceptional drumming, all around great stuff.

[@DonC23]

these guys are fucking sick!! another fucking amazing find thanks to kexp :)))

[@Gnomaxx]

Belle intensité. Merci.

[@spokonara]

Absolutely banger

[@paulfitz6614]

He's so good. A wonderful blend of genres. I just wish they played heavy heart in this set.

[@KrisKhunachak]

This is.. revelatory. Bartees is the pulse, right now.

[@workingtoseethelight8244]

[@TheeFeels382]

This performance of Stone Meadows sounds like a lost Mars Volta track, and I mean that in a very very good way.

[@brent_e_wood]

This is so cool! I wanna say I hear Ben Harper, but it's so much more with the keys and the JAMMING guitars! Nice work!

[@Rangoooooo]

[@kiereluurs1243]

'My man'.... #voidCliches

I see they got something for everyone. I personally love their rock songs, but not a big fan of the hip hop stuff.

[@mediumshreddercheese]
