[@dustybeck5950]

these boys were raised hard by the floyd... passed out with the controls set and circled the destination at least a few times or more... arrived alive tho

[@bster007]

the happiest drummer i have ever seen.

[@snipercheez]

That drummer appears to be having the best day of his life! Dope Band! Lemme Put this in my Khruangbin & Glass Beams playlist

[@matthewberm8675]

hahah smilin' and groovin' !!

[@VinnySgro]

Major wizard vibes. In the '70s, a key player like that would be wearing a cloak. Bring it back.

[@lobabobloblaw]

Oh, it’s coming. :-)

[@eddiecrownshaw199]

He was wearing a cloak when i saw them live

[@Groovenuts]

Yes! This comment!

[@lobabobloblaw]

@@eddiecrownshaw199 I think he’s earned the cloak; I think they all have.

[@MrBTBusch]

Yup "Merlin" is killin' the game, But he'd be beyond with a cloak & or cape.

[@grandvianna8551]

Christ almighty, Dan in the first song is a PERFECT example of its where you play that matters. Thats the most unexpected bass playing ive heard in a long time

[@franzicosmos5966]

Drummer smile is contagious!

[@TheGrilledCheeseManOC]

Very! He was smiling the entire show I saw them play in San Diego.

[@JiosX]

Daaamn this band is playing good vibrations.

[@davebrzeski]

Psychedelic Space Disco!

[@dynjarren8355]

Thank God for KEXP! One of the few independent Stations left that’s actually keeping new music alive. College Radio used to do this as well. I’m glad you are on KZbin so I can see these bands., Thank you! 😊

[@chrismagsmags]

WERS Emerson college radio in Boston is the balls. 88.9. So much good stuff.

[@KurtMcfarlane-d4r]

830 am in Australia and the glitter ball is on Never too early for such beautiful sounds to be pumping across the universe 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@fabers92]

The most syrupy version of Outer Boroughs, that was an utter delight. They get better and better

[@phreezown2862]

Rest Easy Neal 😥 You are MISSED!

[@TwoRavensOutdoorAdventures]

KEXP, always introducing me to great new bands. Thank you!

[@infinitewonder9858]

Alembic Bass FTW!!!! Love CATS!!! So glad they started the set with Away Team 🎉❤

[@willlamb6128]

I love seeing people getting put on to these guys for the first time in the comments😊 it's so exciting to find good music

[@alfianbanjaransari4096]

Best feeling in the world

[@Time.Space.Heal.]

Same. Caught them live last NYE

[@joergie6008]

Definitely is the true spirit… sharing is caring .. love these guys .. it’s like living on shakedown street non stop .. just gotta poke around ☝️

[@kojacked]

This is crazy. Them and Mildlife are filling up my cup for sure.

[@sebastianvagabond4692]

Feel like I just fell into a cloud full of melted chocolate. This is smooth af

[@jkls36912]

Never heard them but I'm glad i clicked on this video. Jammy trippy tunes.

[@alexskatefolife]

You should check some of their shows -2019 to understand their history. Lost Neal to suicide in 19 but these dudes seem to be keeping his spirit alive

[@travisthornton1792]

Love these guys. Very happy to see a bunch of newcomers in the comments enjoying their work. And I think Neal would be happy to see it, too.

[@leandromiquet4820]

Totally. First time I hear them!

[@mattflickinger8151]

So they are still a thing after Neal? TIL

[@believeinittobe4873]

This MIX is fantastic... Someone knows their stuff! Great...

[@sSmOkeBLuNtSs]

For real, the levels are perfect. That bass tone sounds amazing

[@benshapro3251]

@@sSmOkeBLuNtSs The sound engineer there is a genius, the mix sounds better than the album half the time. Bass is always amazing.

[@DaveOfAmerica]

Note to other bands: find a drummer that looks at you this way

[@jimmydweeb9096]

note to other drummers: find a band that makes you look at them this way

[@EdBrooking]

Neal has a huge smile on his face right now. Thanks again KEXP!!!

[@martyr4806]

I remember I was at the first "Fare Thee Well" show at Solider Field, and these guys did all the set break music. Everyone was grooving to it.

[@grahamwilson8843]

It's on Spotify and vinyl if you didn't already know. It's called Interludes for the Dead.

[@brentreed6290]

Saw these dudes twice on tour this spring/summer and was shocked at lack of audience! So much talent in the band!

[@FranklinD]

That keyboard player has quite the battle station going on!! Very nice!

[@thebudge333]

So ridiculously crazy good.

[@thebrysmith3]

Was not expecting the funky Hippy vibe. Not mad at all.

[@tylerthompson1842]

Sounds like a collection of the very best late 70s jazz fusion

[@ludovitvirag3911]

Yes indeed. Great band

[@snipercheez]

...and Dude on the keys is like a crazy mad wizard mixing up spells...Luv it!

[@_gone_solo_]

Can't wait to see this band next week!!! Where can I get a cool shirt with a cactus, strawberry, flowers and other fun stuff on it?!

[@madmax8949]

Amazon?! They got everything and if they don't have it you probably don't need it.

[@eduardochaires357]

Thank you KEXP for showing me new music. This musicians are awesome.

[@pilon47]

Ive been seeing CATS for a few years now. A personal must see for me anytime they come to town. Hopefully the road back to Seattle is a short one for them :) The sound of Adam's keys bring back the joys of going to Chris Robinson Brotherhood shows back in the day.

[@FromtheSoultotheFretboard]

Phenomenal band!! So glad to see them on KEXP. I'll be rocking this set for awhile!! Much love and appreciation

[@johnwilliamsson1155]

Really digging this...realized my knee is bouncing and I'm grinning like the drummer through the whole set. It's contagious! Anybody else reminded of the great Steely Dan, without the vocals? But with musicianship like this, who needs vocals?

[@wolfman92097]

Ive gotten to see these guys in 2022 and 2023 and it was outrageously fun. They were formed to make music for the set breaks at the grateful dead fare thee well shows in 2015.

[@DEVILxFRUIT]

Mans on keys is a scientist 🤯

[@zacharytaylor3054]

I wouldn't be surprised to learn he has a PhD. In mycology. The real deal.

[@TheGrilledCheeseManOC]

These guys are amazing live! They had me n friends floating in space making circles around the sun for a couple hours! If anyone is new to them I highly recommend their Interludes for the Dead album with the original guitarist Neal Casal, beautiful work and homage to Grateful Dead! RIP Neal Casal

[@suzannemacleod1280]

Totally happy drummer! :)

[@edwardvoluntad138]

Stellar! See you @ The Ardmore!

[@christopherskinner9140]

As a fan from the start, this has to be one of the all-time KEXP performances. Legit.

[@ignaciovecino]

Wow, what an awesome sound !

[@EdBrooking]

I could definitely listen to CATS all day....such an amazing vibe

[@kristopiir3107]

Amazing musicians! This happens, when you love, what you do

[@lobabobloblaw]

I keep coming back to this performance, it’s downright infectious. Thank you KEXP for imbuing these experiences with so much human intention and energy. It sets your example far above other channels, to say the least.

[@ericschranz6958]

Hell yes. Digging these types of bands. Thanks KEXP!

[@MasterStratocaster9]

Cauht CATS at Hoxeyville last year and they put on a great show! Would love to see them again this year!

[@jerrylives2278]

So tasteful, I looked this project up after it caught my ear at the Fare Thee Well set break music. Discovered Neal Casal becoming a fan and was so sad to hear of his passing. You guys are sounding fan-fucking tactic. Many thanks

[@tendraftsdeep]

Been listening since The Brotherhood . Long live the vibes of greatness

[@cornfamily6816]

Just discovered them. Wow. This is going to be some great late night jams at Floyfest next week!

[@PooNagoo]

Ugh Tacoma is such a great funky tuneeee

[@amoezoemzoa9756]

This is Groovy

[@sddrit]

You know the keyboardist is about to lay something down when the drummers smile hits his ears.

[@grahamwilson8843]

I can't wait to see these guys in St. Paul again! If only the rest of Grateful Shred would grace Minnesota with their presence!

[@TempleOfTheMartyrs]

IT IS BANDS LIKE C.A.T.S. THAT MAKES OUR BAND KEEP GOING

[@calebrusselkennedy6836]

Khruangbin could only dream.

[@susgwin7987]
