DRAB MAJESTY live at Saint Vitus Bar, Apr. 27, 2016 (FULL SET)

[@gdsmzroll]

I dont think anyone realizes the amount of balls it takes to get up there alone.

[@DrMurdercock]

As a musician, I fully understand. Then it;s another thing to be able to get up there and let go of your self, and be the music, if that makes sense

[@whatheavensaid]

I saw this tour and Deb was not alone in the show... There were two statues on stage! The set was absolutely mesmerizing. Deb is very talented. 🤩

[@agustinsureda305]

I dont think anyone realizes the amount of balls it takes to get up there alone and then sound this good...

[@azothamenti3378]

👍 Yeeeeeeeup.

[@dirtysci]

I'm an old-school 80s kid. Big fan of Chameleons and the Cure. This stuff is awesome. Torch carried.

[@tripzville7569]

Yes i can definitely hear the Chameleons here. Love Drab Majesty and if you check out the new stuff they just keep getting better . Especially as he starts to bring in more musicians.

[@juon5426]

@@tripzville7569 Could you imagine DeB, Mona, Mark, Reg, Dave and John (RIP you wonderful Figure in the Sky) hanging out? The Demonstration is- What Does Anything Mean, Basically..."I think the meaning of life is to Evolve" as Mark stated in an interview during a Chameleons Vox tour. It isn't called the "Burgess Shale" by coincidence

[@whatheavensaid]

Yes! 💖The Chameleons UK💖

[@AzimuthTao]

I hear Xymox.

[@reljasaurus]

he's really skilled at playing and singing at the same time i think, cause some parts really seem hard to play accurately while singing, especially with the clean guitar sound where you can hear every mistake

[@ericksermon12]

hallow - 5:40 the foyer - 10:40 unknown to the i - 17:14 cold souls - 23:30 everything is sentimental - 29:55 behind the wall - 34:18

? = "behind the wall", which will be on the forthcoming (as of this writing) LP.

[@Lindsey398]

@29:55 is an early version of Kissing The Ground, I believe. Thanks for this upload, awesome quality! :)

[@BrendanMacWade]

Ooo, Cold Souls months before the new album. That was a treat.

[@chaoswitch1974]

​@BrendanMacWade yep! It was posted online in live shows before it was released. It was pretty cool and such a good song!

[@albertogirato]

I fucking love this guy and his work!

[@ElenaArboria]

This performance is so special. I like their new look but anytime he wants to bring back that dramatic interpretive parasol twirling I'm down for that.

[@wesNYC]

This is the most viewed live performance video in my 30 years of being a music nerd. The beginning is outta this world. Dreamlike, ethereal, Nostalgic... 10/10

[@АлексейБоярский-ж4ю]

У музыкального ,,коллектива" Свое Лицо....Своя ,,тема"... Мне 60 лет....Большой любитель электронной музыки...хорошая аппаратура....большая коллекция... Группа ,,Drab Majesty" впитала в себя лучшие стилистические и музыкальные веяния этого Стиля..... И слушать, и смотреть....ну просто ,,чистый мёд"......Всем Спасибо... С Уважением.....

[@inakilukac]

HOLY SHIT!!! I love how those early versions of Kissing the Ground and Behind the Wall sound. The final versions are better of course, but they're so different they almost feel like different songs.

[@witeshade]

In case anyone is curious, the korean writing in the beginning (살인 의 위엄) means something like "Murder's Dignity" although it's not a phrase that shows up on any korean search engines

[@triariicat8448]

Daniel G did you comment about Zachary k Hubbard on this video?

[@LionheadLarry]

Just found Drab Majesty the other night and can say I am super glad I found these songs.

[@Jedistarship]

Same Here!

[@idontmind5815]

Also look up the Vr Sex-album "human traffic jam" from 2019. Another Deb Demure-project👌🏼

[@MrJayspeaks]

He's the drummer for Marriages. Talented guy.

[@melancholy3806]

Omg i didn't knew that, lately i've been listening to Emma Ruth Rundle a lot and discovered Marriages, wonderful music💟🥀

[@chaoswitch1974]

Yep! I saw Marriages last LA show in August 2015 (2nd to last show in general) because I was a fan of Drab Majesty since early 2015... maybe late 2014. Can't recall if it was Non Plus Ultra or Complex. Those were the days. So many amazing bands were coming out of LA or coming to LA from New York from the late aughts until around 2017/2018. The scene really blew up and a lot of bands came up. It was a good time because I saw so many incredible bands for like $7-$10, sometimes free!

[@strangeegan]

Very impressive. They've a typical 4AD sound and you can clearly hear the Cocteau Twins/Clan of Xymox influence.

[@j.t2548]

What's a 4AD Sound?

[@MannyMarr]

J. T Bands on the 4AD record label in the 80s like as he mentioned Clan Of Xymox.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

@@MannyMarr 👍👍👍

[@isawdroneses]

I really miss this drab aesthetic and wish they would bring it back. More black makeup/robes and less white suits/pilgrim wigs please. Aside from that, this is a great performance.

[@juanpabloarena2724]

Some here 👍

[@deziolivas9908]

I agree. It’s reminding me of what the neighborhood did.

[@wesNYC]

That synth in the beginning sends shivers down my spine

[@cynzia_d]

Stumbled into this band through VR Sex (their side project) and thanks to the New Division related videos. GOD BLESS THEM. I am proud to have discovered such a beautiful band. David Sylvian aesthetics with The Chameleons UK guitars and melancholy of "strange times" record and some Xymox beats and synths. HOLY shit! They are becoming one of my favourite bands .the sound is pretty british and they come from Cali. They and Julien-k bring 80s music dignity back in our days. Shiny band

[@juancampos1635]

Too much. The intelligence of this man is amazing. Thee introduction to the black hole that you are now entering.. his mind.

🤍 that intro ⚔️ cold as ice 🖤

[@thewolfman8314]

that keyboard at the start!!! can not believe what it generates... this is something

[@wesNYC]

reminds me of Vatican Shadow - "They Deserve death"

[@audacyspectrum3612]

This is by far the best live version of Behind the wall he's ever done. I wish he'd see this comment and go back to his roots... Great job!

[@maurowoody8205]

So impressed with solo performances like this. So much to do while performing solo. Drab Majesty is rad! I'd open up for Drab any night!

[@lowmoon9025]

The best band I've heard since the first time I fell in love with the Sisters and Depeche Mode. Absolutely wonderful.

[@ATXrollerblader]

Damn, what a talent. Hope to hear much more in the near future.

Is the instrumental at the beginning a song or just a live intro to hollow?

Thank you for posting this.....

Descubrí esta banda hace dos meses y estoy muy felíz y más que satisfecha,la verdad son unos genios ,estoy enamorada de Andrew❤😅

[@VodkaBroadWhorizons]

Where is the rest of the band, for this gig? That this is ONLY the one dude- HOLY CRAP- it's brilliant!!! The dude already rules, but that he can pull off a gig with nothing more than the music via which to sing/play to- yeah, this guy is basically GOD.

Wrong band.

[@DigitalMasterpieces]

Michael Smith, he's talking about the sequencer

[@Michael_Smith-Red_No.5]

With the same name as the drum machine The Sisters Used. Interesting. Probably a coincidence.

[@vladislav_in_russia]

А что в начале играет???это разогрев у них или интро с альбома

[@cjmahoney]

Wait, so when did he add the second guy?

[@BarbieChaite]

google is your friend

[@JJMedusa]

--- Where is Mona D.? I guess he wasn't in the band at this point?

[@jackgoff2072]

Genius music. How the hell does he make such music on stage alone?

[@pauulkubasek1815]

Laptop. Ableton probably. Or iPod.

[@MrWilliam333100]

The best performance

[@dvader7272]

I was lucky enough to see them at the beginning of 2020 before everything got shut down. This video is excellent but can't possibly capture the volume and power of Drab Majesty's live performances. The show I was at was trance-inducing.

[@jackgoff2072]

I agree.Saw them twice here in Seattle.They are amazing live.

[@shanedangers]

excellent quality upload! much thx!

[@isabelledeschnabbnello4144]

love you soo much. see you in dresden

[@camtv123]

Needs a full band. It would be so amazing to see and hear

[@McWorf]

its a two piece band now! saw them last month at the same venue and the performance was hypnotizing. The cold icy synths and brooding guitars can easily be the soundtrack to murdering my third husband in an abandoned park in downtown Berlin during the dead of winter

[@9288Savior]

I would be their full-time drummer any day!!!

[@lesfaul4924]

The sampler is gonna be their drummer forever.

[@tokenofdevotion]

I surely hope they never go full band, samplers are the way to go

[@Pogokoala]

I'll be a full time bassist for this band

[@therealcuban4032]

any idea what his tuning is

[@ynzsbstn]

Yeah! He plays DADABD or DADABE depending on the song. For example for 39 by design, he plays DADABE but for songs like Unknown to the I or Kissing The Ground he plays DADABD. It takes me so long to figure this thing out, but I'm 100% sure.

[@therealcuban4032]

Woah thank you so much!!

[@ynzsbstn]

Also check my cover of Kissing the ground if you want!!!

he does this annoying thing where he cuts the last notes short on every line, he should carry the last note over a bit longer so it doesn't sound so abrupt
