Foxygen - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@austins.2495]

Their drum sounds never get talked about… gotta be my favorite part of this band/project. Especially on this album

[@donniesmidway]

I know everyone says this about their favorite bands but I feel like Foxygen is super underrated. I may just be one of them ❤🥹🥰 thank you KEXP for being a fantastic foray into music. I hope one day I may be on there

[@thepinkjungle]

I miss this band

[@electrocosmicfuzz8555]

This is great for all us young folk who grew up with the 70's burned in our brains via mom and dad I dig it some serious 70's todd rundgren vibes maybe a bit of fleetwood mac

[@cansuturgut3724]

I've missed watching oldschool wizard-keyboardists like this one.

[@fperdomo]

how can anyone hate this performance.. BRILLIANT!!!

[@pauloaraujo9224]

0:20 - How can you really. 3:45 - Coulda been my love. 11:00 - Cannibal holocaust. 14:40 - Hang.

[@keredsol]

This is really great watching these guys grow more in a couple years, than most artist ever grow. If you dont get it, go wank somewheres else.....trolls. And it's a little early to be getting nostalgic about foxygen's music from a two years ago, nostalgia is a disease.

[@nightstand68]

Well said and I couldn't agree more. I'm 46 yrs of age and enjoing these new bands like Foxygen.

[@Ahzpayne]

hope you got a "Diane Coffee" performance recorded as well while they were in the building

[@MykTheOccultist]

Vocals need reverb, back-up and main. Otherwise amazing performance. Holy shit, a double album!? Can't wait! My only gripe about the last two albums were they were too short! Liking the new tracks.

[@iTzKaiBUD]

I love the last two albums, this new one however I feel could have been decent if they were a little more selective on the song choice. It was too long, and only a few songs actually seemed decent.

[@yahstino]

iTzKaiBUD i agree. i'm a huge fan but i think several songs could have been scrappers that were added just for the sake of saying they were releasing a double LP.

[@despicabledogs_]

It's one of those "either you get the beauty of the madness or don't." When i went through it the first two times it sounded like nonesense. After a couple of more tries, I got it. His drug abuse, their changing sound, and the use of more instruments. When i say them live the lead singer was TRASHED, but they still put on a great show.

[@misterpopeofficial.]

There is reverb on the main

[@jpgmrk]

here after listened "san francisco" and immediately fall in love with this band, even if I thought it was of a female singer.

[@slobodien]

Same.

[@evolution0fself]

I wish the recorded version of 'Hang' was as epic as this version. I like the one on the record but it's no way as nice as this. Same goes for 'Coulda Been My Love and 'Cannibal Holocaust'. The performance here is like way tighter, I think the vocals are more soulful and powerful here too

[@gumborific]

I have no idea what to think. But, I feel like a glass of Tang for some reason.

[@nickfromCO]

the long haired, blonde dude from "Dazed and Confused" on drums, Janis Joplin on lead guitar, the bum from "Happy Gilmore" on keyboards. Courtney Love's character in "The People Vs. Larry Flynt" on lead vocals...just to name a few. quite an eclectic mix of characters, really.

[@saltemann3581]

lmao you had me at courtney love man haha

[@StationOfTerrapin]

they have a very very good energy

[@jep2792]

Coulda Been My Love is niiice

[@euphoriumkid1988]

All of you who are saying the backup singers are out of key and that this is a bad performance are insane. You must be used to hearing cookie cutter bullshit artists who lipsync and fake their live performances. What you're hearing here is a real rock and roll show with soul and feeling. So fucking what if somebody misses a note here and there. Are you all so jaded that you can't hear the well thought out melodies, solid drumming, impressive keyboard work, and great musicianship in general that made this performance fantastic? You all clearly haven't been to many rock shows. I feel sorry for all of you who can't appreciate good music. Maybe the Justin Bieber section of KZbin is more your speed.

[@suzannesands7330]

The true test of a group --- how do they sound live? Can they perform their songs differently from the studio performances, yet make them sound fresh and original and not stale. Great stuff.

[@fperdomo]

loving this new Todd Rundgren meets Judie Tzuke sound!

[@MrEblevin]

fernando perdomo this has been said. I find them as a mix of everything. Live, I'm a fan of the punk explosion of 'We are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic". I saw them twice and it was beyond awesome. Made me feel like I was in CBGB in the 80's.

[@cactaceous]

⁠@@MrEblevinCBGB in the 80’s was showcasing hardcore punk like Bad Brains. What are you talking about?

[@strumbadstroller7350]

since when did f......g ads interrupt vids randomly? pissed, GRRRRRR! I'm now exploring alternative streams in future.

[@rorymcclure]

This was Foxygen's "Young Americans" phase.

[@UnderScoredd]

Lol stuuuuuupid

[@rorymcclure]

@@UnderScoredd the fuck?

[@Alyskov]

Don't you just love the drummer, just look at him!

[@TheZandorasbox]

lulz jokes don't always translate via the interwebz. Hindsight is 20/20 right?

[@lahipster3172]

Shaun Fleming the drummer has his own Band #Dianecoffee go see him live or watch him on KEXP

[@moreblankets]

I liked it. Cheryl's the best.

[@francitron9658]

I love it, actually the two last songs are extremely good versions of that songs!! awesome :)

[@esslar1]

That singer is an angel.

[@haydenthefirst1572]

Truly

[@francitron_art_3]

Definitely they're One of the best band from the US lately

[@jasonedenilson]

one time I told Sam this was an awesome performance and he said “really? I didn’t think it sounded that good” and I said “hell no, that session was fucking amazing!” everyone complaining doesn’t have a clue how hard it is to sound this tight, and mixing and performing with an 8 person band doesn’t make it easier

[@docthree123]

the music and the whole presentation, reminiscent of pop music 80s

[@francitron_art_3]

Wooow ... ThIS is extraordinarily show, they're a lovely band

[@haydena.oleary7046]

"Hang" is awesome

[@recoveredpixel]

Aren't those back up singers just the dancers from the music video for "How can you really"?

[@MJames095]

am i the only one that liked this

[@victorsndergaard4975]

***** Fuck no youre not !

[@MrEblevin]

Victor Søndergaard we met them twice. Very casual and accommodating group.

[@steven1822]

yes you are and does it not feel really wonderful that you are happy and so alone. explorers are always the only one. rejoice in the feeling. soon you will be old like me and totally understand what being the first at something really, really means to your life adventure. dream and live for you.

[@Ideasquevalelapenadifundir]

you're not unique, fuck you

[@joseyjudson1287]

[@dayuhanspace]

awesome! the tunes brought me back to the 80s

[@mashiachrocker3937]

It's the cut-off shirt sleeves that really makes it.

[@thefoxialbunny]

I listen this video in the same time I was reading the Berserk manga. It was a incredible experience to me.

Tasty fresh jams.

[@Matiasmunozescudero]

great!!!!!!

[@onenotused9327]

This is most definetly one of the all time greatest performances on K.X.P. and the back up singers make the show that much better! Who cares what a few tone deaf top 40 snobs say or think! This show is awesome!

[@mashiachrocker3937]

I don't know why I like these guys. I think it's for the same reason I like The Cure. It scares me.

[@wrendmc]

KEXP would y'all be willing to add the start time next to the song names so that viewers can skip to individual songs?

[@lubovske]

yes, wee wil play MO! Россия любит Фоксиджен!

[@naarvmaan]

You all look wonderful (hippies).

[@TashaKlein1]

omg, never noticed how sarcastic and rude rado is.

he is a dick

[@xxterrbear101xx]

Backup singers killed this (in a bad way) which sucks because if they sounded better this performance really could have been taken up a notch.

[@KobuCake]

+Terri Powys totaly agree!

[@robertdominguez6002]

+Terri Powys I agree with you but it's not that they did a bad job but that they were placed way too prominently in the mix

[@evannell]

It is possible that one of them, maybe, managed to sing a few clear notes. That's how bad a job they have done in this video.

[@666superhater]

+evannell Yeah, they are WAY off key.

[@dylanlover83]

None of the vocals are prefect that's why it's good.

[@sulfurskies9658]

“Stay tuned for next week on All My Children!”

[@TheArich2010]

Backup singers are consistently out of tune and the guitars are turned down too much. If it wasn't for that, this would've been a great performance

[@BenotzJoe]

(at least) One of the backup singers was off key all dam day.

[@TheFibtastic]

It's rock 'n roll, nobody cares unless you're here for prog or jazz fusion.

[@666superhater]

+Joe Benotz ALL of the were off key.

[@joaoparenti]

@@BenotzJoe , the thing that actually , you fail to realize, is that , in some weird way, all, ... all people in the scenes , .. all the musicians are using headphones.... suposed to help hem to be more precise.... ok.... i think that, they are making some subtle joke...

It's not like they're Elvis and there are 30,000 books about them.

What happened to Foxygen? :(

[@edrumz1998]

they said that their new album was trying to be based off of different influences from their childhoods, they're definitely still the same band just trying to show a different side to their music. this album is gonna be huge so don't worry man theres gonna be all kinda stuff on there! there will definatley still be some kick ass jams, foxygen won't be selling out anytime soon

[@viachicago]

This album has all the makings of a classic.

[@BitterrootRambler]

Via Chicago I heard the album, sounds like their older stuff. Like pre Take the Kids Off Broadway.

[@viachicago]

BitterrootRambler I think this will be getting a 9.5 from P4K Monday morning.

[@viachicago]

***** Yeah, I'm very surprised by the almost uniformly negative or so-so reviews. I was way off on the P4K 9.5 prediction. I thought at least they would get it, but I guess their decline continues. I think it's the best album of 2014.

i don't like the backing vocal girls, shaun and rado used to do really nice backing vocals with harmonies, no need for the girls they're just making the band crowded

[@onnionfrance1227]

What is sad about today and everyone's internet voice is that I find it (and I'm old) so judgmental. Burt Bacharach wrote "Anyone who had a heart" --was he gay? soft, etc. Watch mick jagger and bowie in their late 1980s videos. Gay? or gay gay? Lou reed-Bisexual? NO ONE cared !!! CArpe Diem--enjoy the moment! Live how you want--that's what makes the flawed USA great. Now everyone needs to express their picky prickly opinions all the time. Just stfu!

[@jimmysmith7648]

+Onnion France The old thing about how the more things change, the more they stay the same. This is certainly the case with mean spirited bullschitt opinions. Sad phukkers. These guys (Foxygen) are really incredible. BTW, Bacharach rules...
