[@mcmillennick]

Their shirts are freaking amazing.

[@MegamanXLT]

So cool to see Mr. Beringer leading vocals for a band with a totally different feel from the National. Love it.

[@skyhonorctr]

+Ascended Serenity it's in fact what he's like in private :D

[@MegamanXLT]

+AJ Chen How do you know?! :D Let's share music together..

[@skyhonorctr]

+Ascended Serenity because I interviewed The National before:)

[@MegamanXLT]

AJ Chen Wow, what an opportunity! #JellyAF

[@skyhonorctr]

hehehe,I'm a lucky girl!

[@juliomontano94]

The awkwardness in Matt's voice when he transitions from return to the moon to sad case, fits the sound of the band completely! Love both The National and EL VY

[@kodu3844]

Love the transition from sad case to happiness Missouri. Shit rocks

[@MrTamaguy]

I heard this song on Sirius today. I usually turn it when I hear stuff I don't know but not this. I was instantly hooked to that guitar lick. What a cool song.

[@jefferyetten]

so happy to have found this band

[@Inverted314]

hot damn this guitar work is good, great tone, tasteful and rhythmic, not overplayed, the riffs are catchy with a strong enough pop undertone to keep the songs fun. sweet!

[@jamesford2192]

Shame they weren’t mixed at all here

[@stilldreaming2bfree]

Crank the Sun is my absolute favorite song from El VY...brilliant....would love to see more...and please believe you have serious followers. And I have to follow with your song" Need a friend" is also amazing and the mix with our Baltimore home town band Wye Oak was awesome. Please.. please keep it coming.

[@63M1N1]

shirts 10/10

[@cl8822]

I really dig this. I've heard some negative stuff about this album, but I'm guessing now that those people wanted a new National album

[@Realmrfrog]

Beautiful piece by literally everyone involved. . . Dj, band and all. Host flowed the conversation and music into almost a story. Found this from the NPR tiny desk suggestions but goddamit have I fallen in love with El VY

[@2n2equals5]

Love how their shirts blend almost seamlessly with the backdrop

[@jamesbeaet5135]

rare to hear a bad KEXP mix! Too bad..such a great band!

[@MrFenh]

Great album and great interview by KEXP. This interviewer is so funny. Keep it up guys! Greetings from Belgium.

[@boneboy_]

Such a great performance from an amazing band!!!!

[@cindycheesecake]

Love the shirts! Saw them in Manchester UK last month. Great live. Best band I saw last year for me. Totally entertaining

[@NilzFranco]

Typically KEXP's live recordings sound better than anywhere else on the web, but this one seems off. That said, no rendition of art is "bad," so I'm super glad this is out there.

[@jacobantonelli5008]

Nils Franco the mixing is horrible absolutely no guitar

[@kylestafford7117]

delightful performance fellas!!!

[@rompecintas]

Soy de México y realmente me encanta esta banda. Quisiera que un día vinieran a la Ciudad de México.

[@robbeason]

Dude on the kit is on point.

[@denimobi9825]

I love the agression on Sad case/ Hapinness, Missouri

[@skyhonorctr]

just saw them in Manchester last Sat freaking awesome!!!!!!

[@GonDFRD]

I had no idea JJ Abrams was a drummer.

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

Damn this I like

[@rich.muzzaman]

El Vy are the best!

[@rick29ism]

ok. first song i wasnt sold on them yet but when sad case played through i was like hell yeah

[@oldham42]

I want to taste their shirts.

[@matthewjames206]

So good. They have what appears to be a dynamite sound. Though I think they could really benefit from having a kazoo player in the group. Anyway, my new favorite band. Also, DJ El Toro is the coolest. Great stuff... as always.

[@jordandionne2814]

They're beast

[@nathanmiller9487]

As much as I love Matt, I can't get over that voice crack :'D

[@jordimartorell5734]

wellcome!! this guy never stop??

[@15awesomehighfive]

the piano in "No Time To Crank The Sun" has some clint mansell vibes and is reaaaaally similar to John Murphy's Adagio in D Minor

[@urbanrunoff]

great sounding drums!

[@_jake_doran]

Guys.... damn. nice.

[@roymikus]

Dennis Reynolds on the bass everyone.

[@jgodin312]

is that Andy Stack of Wye Oak on drums?

[@tjnucnuc]

+jgodin312 Yes it is. Wye Oak said he was touring with them recently.

[@veerchasm1]

jgodin312 Andy should do simultaneous keys and drums like he does in Wye Oak

[@reinventingyourexit9]

How are there no guitars in the mix?? I love KEXP but this is crazy

[@michaelschriner9889]

+reinventingyourexit9 are you deaf?

[@Inverted314]

+Michael Schriner and blind

[@gracevandusen460]

Perfection

[@i1-L22Belarus]

Lovin the backdrop outfits. yall shoulda gone full jumpsuit if you want my 2 cents. just sayin.

[@losmckenrick6970]

Cincinnati represent

[@ethanabelar]

Are those the fuck me shirts Matt sings about so much? They don't HAVE to be green, you know.

[@vaniasofia3192]

Fucking love em

[@Asaski09]

This some funky shit.

[@angelportal5378]

is that Morrisey on the drums !?

[@theograrup24]

Anyone who can tell me which keyboard Brent Knopf is using?

[@rubbadubdub6543]

What bass guitar is that?

[@gibsoneffect]

Is Doctor Evil interviewing them?

[@onlythingicouldthink]

I still like the national more but this band is definitely great!

[@tmowczarek]

A gitary, a moc, gdzie jest? wcześniej?

[@greencurrytofu]

Top

[@pedrozegarra9950]

THE DRUMS MUY BUEN ESTILO

[@kun7961]

who is the drum?

[@jasonm2279]

Great band. The mic cupping is killing his vocal dynamic.

[@juanjosetorosanchez778]

[@matrocious]

this is pretty much the every sound of #thenational always desired and lost near #cherrytree and the setlist is just right

[@matrocious]

#chili #skyline

[@PotelinoSeven]

Mais le guitariste c'est même de Lost Lander? Il fais partie de deux grupes? Je ne comprends rien lol

[@violetcities]

[@nickfromCO]

i wonder what they would do if one of the band members was black...would he wear one of those camouflage shirts as well? he'd be invisible...

[@willemvandebeek]

What the hell... this is The National... o_O

[@therealkatdaddy]

+Willem van de Beek It's a side project from Matt Berninger of the National and Brent Knopf of Ramona Falls.

[@denimobi9825]

+Willem van de Beek this is wayyyyyyyyy different than The National.

[@nostalgiascrapyard2383]

This band is so freaking great. Too bad that mic/mix does Matt no favors, didn't help that he didn't seem on top of his game here either.

[@robbryant]

The Conan performance is much better
