Fontaines D.C. - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@yeatsbell3480]

the fuzz on the rickenbacker, so good

[@winstonjamir143]

@Westin Benton yea, I have been using InstaFlixxer for since november myself :D

[@gokhan9395]

Like melting cheese

[@waynesilverman3048]

Semi electro guitars do

[@thierryserrien5332]

I just find myself coming back to this, year after year. So glad I discovered this back then. So deserved success. Beautiful band.

[@fp9593]

The vocalist is Ian Curtis reborn, and sounds like sounds like Irish Peter Steele when he speaks. Quality sound from the band as well- look forward to hearing more!

[@davocian]

These guys are such a special gift to the music world. It's lovely to have that feeling of excitement about a band - I haven't had it for years. Cracking performance. Well done to all involved. Band of the decade, by a country mile.

[@deanmorton363]

I agree with you, lots of similar bands coming through now but these are on a different level.

[@cubanheelsbeerbelly]

HMLTD is awesome if you're into the whole Bowie / Bauhuas thing.

[@ko6el]

@@cubanheelsbeerbelly ?

[@cubanheelsbeerbelly]

@@ko6el they're a band.

[@NoelSufrin]

For me, I hear Modern Lovers influences... Saw Fontains D.C. open for IDLES two nights ago at the Rock and Roll Hotel in Wash. D.C. - IT ROCKED!!! ...and here I am on KZbin looking for more Fontains D.C.! Well done guys!

[@Warrogue1]

I saw them with IDLES in Baltimore a couple of days before the DC shows. Since then I saw IDLES at 9:30 Club and Fontaines DC at U Street Music Hall. I assume you were at both of those too!

[@rochfordsnrubbs6855]

Yep, I like this. Some seriously righteous punk rock coming out of the UK and Ireland these days

[@geezerparadox]

Yes I recently caught Idles. They helped me discover this band.

[@Ciaradexy]

@@JerryPeersonMusic Did you even read his post?! He said Ireland AND the UK.

[@captainmadandthemusketeers2424]

We're in Toulouse but..... Lead Guitars are- José Peril(english), Mr Tony(irish). Lead Drums are- GoGo(french). we do garage punk drunk rock. an we do it good... until gin gets involved. WE'RE NOT ALCOHOLICS, WE'RE JUST REALLY SHIT AT BEING SOBER

[@TheThepusherman7]

Other good and similar bands from Ireland are Melts(A bit like The Horrors and Stone Roses) and Just Mustard(would remind you of My Bloody Valentine it Broadcast)

[@osheal]

@@JerryPeersonMusic from Ireland there is no country named dublin

[@matthewjames206]

John really does like these guys. He definitely turned me onto them. Dynamite sound. Really tight. Great drummer. Plus they seem like such nice lads. And suspiciously handsome, too. I'd like to see them tour with Parquet Courts. Methinks that would be an amazing show. Good stuff right here.

[@Warrogue1]

@Kevin CollinsI saw them together also. It was awesome.

[@gatoblancomx]

I agree, all of them are great musicians but definitly the drummer has a super quality level.

[@josephbloggs2179]

Mind blowing performance

[@dxyzstudios2144]

what a beautiful sounding rickenbacker

[@natewall4500]

This has got to be my favourite KEXP performance. My dad showed this to me almost 3 years ago and it just got me hooked. Theres something about the energy and gitteryness that they have in this performance that keeps me coming back every time. Fontaines are just awesome

[@MrMicalo]

The singer looks like Ian Curtis and sings like Mark E. Smith ! Also they remind me of the early Strokes ! Amazing

[@garthfrench3528]

Liberty Belle...sooo good

[@archiet2205]

No seen as much charisma from a frontman since morrisey tbh… incredible.

[@ShanesSquirrelShack]

One of the best kexp performances

[@JL-rt9mi]

I am nearly weeping over how fantastic these guys are. What the hell have I been doing with my life that I didn't know about them before today?

[@geezerparadox]

I already bought my Ticket for May when they open up for Idles here in the US

[@victorgutierrez9169]

I'll see you there

[@freddisley5172]

i was meant to see em when they supported shame november last year but got there late

[@cameronvausemusic]

Absolutely love these guys, in some odd and quirky way. I found ‘em by accident on SoundCloud a month ago, and I’ve been keeping tabs on these guys since! Big fan! Great performance!

[@SieByte]

Roskilde 2019. You saved my festival. Best concert this year

[@ScottQ1]

The Rickenbacker guitarists face is just a masterpiece during big

[@podgemuller]

Class band

[@loosetile]

Fantastic, can't wait to see them support Shame but more importantly need to hear an album and see them on tour.

[@rowanjones7523]

@John Higgins I couldn't agree more. You still playing a bit of snooker John?

[@kevinwillsher1054]

Quality band, love what I've heard so far. Saw them support Shame recently and will be going to seem them at Joiners Arms in Southampton. Looking forward to album! 👌🏻

[@PlanetC64]

“there’s more of a … desire to get to the root of the human condition and all that kind of stuff so” ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@warrenm3542]

The lead singer is a mix of some different singers that he resembles and the Fontaines sound is very like a mix of other things that they sound similar too. Which is nice.

[@campanhadocarimbo]

Primeiras canções, só as porradas pós-punk. The Fall é referência, com certeza. Thanks.

[@EamonSandwith]

so many great bands coming out of uk and ireland at the moment. hotel lux are awesome too

[@steverobinson7040]

Seen them 3 times in Mike the pies Listowel county Kerry. They are brilliant live and a great bunch of lads !!! Everyone needs to see them !!!!!

[@milton1984]

the vocalist I find a resemblance to Ian Curtis

[@Kryck-s8h]

the first thing that came to mind. noticeable imitation

[@tulimarquez3834]

yes indeed. got the same impressions from the first view

[@wbm3085]

Definitely not by accident 🙄

[@seanlennon5986]

Dress sense is modeled on him for sure.

[@louisjeon97]

and looks like young Liam lol

[@carywhitt]

I can not wait to see these fellas. (Cleveland)

[@dagzey]

wow the more i see of these guys just gets better,,only started yesterday ha jesus christ

[@electrohardware-72]

Definitely the best post-punk band of the 21st century. Ian, get out of this body !

[@liligraa]

feels like Grian (singer)'s microphone is quieter than the other instruments, like when there was less going on (like the beginning of liberty belle) I could finally hear him properly? absolutely class band, makes me want to go to 80s dublin, gives me Sing Street vibes

[@jazzblasterrr]

Lili Graham loved that movie

[@tc8066]

The sound is all over the bloody shop, not up to usual KEXP standard.

[@bryanwilliams1288]

What a band!!! You guys are fantastic!!!

[@TheDubit75]

Yep, this is my type of jam. Explosive!

punk again!!!!! awesome...fresh new good old rock n roll

[@themurdercapital5827]

Yes brothers!

[@tlc2635]

the fontaines came into m life what the flip i proper love this band my name is Mr T Carney

[@chriswilson6630]

They remind me of an Irish joy devision but more modern and up to date. Too class

[@erwinvanderkwaak9113]

really like this band

[@ruairilogan153]

Sweet music. Sweet guys. Sweet future for this band

[@Ciaradexy]

Love the Repeal geansaí!

[@jahwobble5214]

Reminders of the Fall here..what a brilliant band coming out of Dub :)

[@PlanetC64]

4:45 channelling wire. Yes, i am old

[@zelilgirlI1ncenu]

Band of the century so far.

[@gmantramp404]

They won't ever be the band of Ireland tho. That's SLF 🤘🤘🤘

[@munky2818]

Savage as usual. The energy is unreal in this x

[@stuartwilkins9602]

Looking forward to seeing this lot in January. What with the Idles in April as well, shaping up to be some decent acts coming to the fore

[@GabrielBatistaAm]

00:23:54 Wow this is so good man

[@brandnewlions]

Been listening to this non-stop. Soooooo Gooooooood! Can't wait to see them live in the states

[@BRANDONTURNERShandyB17]

Can't wait to see these guys in November with Shame, Sorry and HMLTD

[@fentonhouse4567]

drummer has a girl band shirt.. hope they come back someday

[@lachlannofionnain1181]

Well, wish come true

[@Elwooddudes]

Bloody great 👍🏼

[@idahobf]

Wait, did they play conor byrne in 2018?! I saw them in 2022 at a packed showbox sodo...seeing them at CB would have been one for the books. Damn.

[@sosietegal]

FABULEUX

[@mahonie3002]

Oooh!!! someone has been listening to The Fall!.....fab stuff

[@nwo4life708]

I love how many bands that are around just now that are unashamedly influenced by the fall. Not a bad thing being influenced by the the most inventive band and greatest group ever imo

[@MeltsDublin]

Go on the lads! Amazing 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@josh0g]

I read somewhere that they got to know each other sitting in pubs discussing James Joyce poetry.... that seems almost too Irish to be the real truth, but I choose to believe it anyway.

[@sammartin2k9sm]

Tom is a fucking machine

[@mr.hostetter855]

That's young Bob Odenkirk. rockin' out!!!

[@renatomorales7318]

*I NEED YOUR EARS* What Dublin band does the guitarist recommend at 13:16? Familiar with IDLES, Shame, and Melts and dig all them deeply. Figure any recommendations from them are worth a listen. Cheers.
