Thank you!!

[@elgabrizav]

you gotta have a really good pair of glasses to stay glued at your face like Dylan's

[@sleepypete92]

The lead singer looks and sounds like a younger version of John Dwyer. I love it!

[@independentael]

Rock is alive and doing well in 2023.

[@SKi4o5]

Shit yesterday SLIFT today we get Frankie. . . yall better be droppin Gizz next

[@ML-nj4qi]

The new drummer Nick has elevated this band to a new level of baddass. Their energy is contagious and the music is ferocious!

[@theweiner1]

Just saw them play in Santa Cruz. Infectious energy no doubt! Banging around all night! Just missed the horns 😢

[@Parmejohn_]

the cymbal choke at 2:42. No other context needed. Fucking tasty

[@choglatemilg]

he has so much energy live, they play so loud - it fucking rules haha

[@flipdry]

Don't forget about Nikki, that bass tone is monstrous and groovy ❤

[@stuidizzle2]

he's pretty funny, too

[@sharkodiles8999]

Was literally thinking to myself “gosh I wish Frankie and the Witch Fingers had a KEXP performance” yesterday, and here we are

[@nigheist003]

All I had to see was the drummers sleeves gaff taped. I’m in

[@itrywayytoohard]

great bands back to back with Slift and then Frankie. love both!

[@andya4635]

I was literally going to say the same thing!

[@mikeplummer26]

The 2 best live bands in the world right now

[@Killguy-]

@@mikeplummer26 nah, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. They're a well oiled machine for their marathon shows

[@kmac1130]

@@Killguy-and I’d say Osees. In my opinion you can’t go wrong with any of these bands. They all fucking rip

[@YesItsAnanias]

"YOU BET!"

[@yammsz]

this is fucking sick.. Slift one day then Frankie the next! we need another osees & gizz sesh now

[@bisket2003]

OF course it's momma Cheryl introing this beautiful band!

[@xTheBeefHammer]

Well, looks like I’ve found a new favourite band

[@wetdroidedition2549]

It sounds like they took advantage of the excellent sound engineering at KEXP to record a live album. This sounds spectacular!

[@gnawdude]

That SG in the left speaker, so clean.

[@stuartculshaw5342]

Yes yes. Reminds me of BBC radio recordings years ago. John Peel used to go out looking for music in crusty venues up and down the country, and if he liked it, he'd tell them to come in and record something. It's some of the best music ever recorded. 51 btw

[@jeffwiles2441]

@stuartculshaw5342. I totally concur. So reminiscent of the old BBC recordings. Reminds me especially of old Jimi Hendrix,and Cream recordings.I guess it all has to do with the way the sound stage is built.

[@aidenknight7575]

Oh how I wish this was on streaming

[@MattLendabarker]

I thought the same thing

[@PhilosophyofSurvival]

I always test my new headphones with a KEXP concert, the absolute best sound engineers in the biz. This band is awesome

[@BayouMaccabee]

Data Doom is the best Frankie album, and one of my top favorite albums from 2023. This band is so tight, and they play together as a well-oiled, cohesive-unit machine.

[@flaviosan3020]

The drummer, Nick, is just like gasoline over fire!

[@kurtwatkins1197]

That Steely Dan/Tony Soprano might be one of the best shirts I've ever seen. Data Doom is an absolute monster of an album

[@whipshaw]

when they're smiling is 'cause they know they are ridiculously good

[@davidantolinezuribe2413]

This is why I love KEXP. Usually they put nice bands. But every once in a while, they just introduce you to the next band you are going to love madly. Frankie and The Witch Fingers have become, immediately, in a favorite of mine!

[@REALwoombath]

7:58 I love the immediate start from that feedback noise. No breaks allowed!

[@SHEPxPARD]

I love how the bassist is smiling, dancing and grooving all the time - hypnotizing

[@elconijo]

Her hair is so bad ass

[@BuzzYear10]

the youtube gods just found me my new favorite band

[@ReverendBarryTheFunk]

This band is TIGHT. And that drummer is BADASS. I'm definitely checking out their material. Thanks KEXP for providing such a great platform for bands like this to be exposed to music lovers around the world.

[@saggygnaw]

You will not be disappointed with their back catalog, ZAM & MEPEM are standouts for me but earlier efforts like Brain Telephone and Sidewalk are great too

[@BradleeJay]

I've found so many amazing artists through KEXP, thank you all! 🤘🏽🔥

[@sullysunflower204]

so true , great channel.

​@nicka9959 Austin TV , Slith, Built to Spill,cigarettes after Sex, they literly have every good band on the planet play live

[@travisjohnson5281]

I've seen Frankie and the Witch Fingers in a small cozy venue as well as a giant stadium opening for ZZ Top. Each time, their sound and energy was way bigger than the venue. Do yourself a favor and see them live as soon as you have the chance. Also, Data Doom has my vote for album of the year!

[@keiths4491]

Very King Crimson sound in nature. I can dig it, never heard of them before.

[@alanpedrueza6467]

Nicky Pickle is the groove itself 🥒

[@knuttbeefton2620]

Data Doom is so damn good front to back!

[@davidrewit]

These fockas are tight, not to mention their tones, everything perfect

[@isaiahshuck8974]

I am new to the band. Anybody else hearing a distinct Thee Oh Sees vibe? I Love them love this. Carry on

[@ljcupra]

listen to them more. it will go away

[@jetwork131]

Heavy inspo for sure! Thee Oh Sees has birthed some of best bands today

[@TheOriginalLlama32]

I met them in person twice, got on the guest list too from meeting Nick. I asked Dylan (lead) if he thought they were like Oh Sees, and i pointed out that Microscope by Frankie and the witch fingers has the exact same melody of Crushed Grass by Oh sees he got shy and said "no sorry i dont know that song" lol.

[@shrimpypyeah]

​@@TheOriginalLlama32did he say anything else about the Osees tho? I was at a Frankie concert last month and whenever I really squeezed my eyes together it very well could've been John Dwyer on the stage. To me they kind of have a similar energy, you know?

[@bflagg94]

I mean he physically looks like John, sounds like John, shit he even holds his guitar really high like John

[@ThomasPatricks]

Tighter than my post thanksgiving wardrobe 💥

[@alanpedrueza6467]

ELDER in the kexp‼️ please 🤟

[@inforammer]

What a performance! These guys seriously bring it live. The cohesion in their shared interview answers says it all; what a team!

Saw them on Halloween it was the best night of my life!! Frankie for life!! 🧛‍♂️🧟🧙‍♀️

[@nowthenzen]

Before you can teach history you have to define history.

[@damonslimmon]

Yes. Always record.

[@7thlevelmusic]

I've also been lucky to see them play in tiny venues and big festivals. They never disappoint. As a friend of mine said after we saw them at Levitation France in 2022, "They play like their hair is on fire."

[@anthonytomas7808]

I approve the nick’s t-shirt ! 🤟🏼

[@marclafon4420]

you fucking rules!!!! With the sax and trompet, OMG!

[@hackticdev]

So overdue to have this band on KEXP!

[@biotin456]

I saw the band in Berlin and Dylan was by the merch stand while opening bands were playing. He was such a humble and calm guy, it was the first time I could get over my starstruck-ness and talk to a band member!!! Their energy in the show destroyed the floor. 11/10 recommend their live shows & looking forward to the return to Berlin with the new songs

[@sankethmenon5571]

Need to see them live ASAP

[@olaf2170]

Saw them in Sept it was awesome. One of my top live shows this year

[@kmac1130]

They were fantastic. Exceeded expectations and that’s saying a lot

[@XDirt_Cheap]

Now to go check out their whole discography lol

[@mattcooper1664]

As soon as I heard the riff at 15:04 I went and bought the album xD shit is dirty

[@emilyplantsmusic]

Agree! I’m already waiting for them to come back on another US tour again 😂

[@kmac1130]

Lucky! I’ve only seen them once

[@moshlyfe]

Futurephobic is one of my favorite songs ever written. Thanks for your awesome work as always, KEXP

[@Mr.Guild1971]

News to me.Without a doubt made a New probably undying FAN. After this album ,would any of you longtime fans recommend a 2nd record for my next purchase?!?!

[@stainonyabrain1381]

ZAM is a lot of fun. Their self titled album is a personal favorite as it has a very 60’s psych sound.

[@Mr.Guild1971]

Ty too ya and all who agree@@stainonyabrain1381

[@hingefactor]

I did sound for this band at the former Saint in Asbury Park, NJ. They were amazing and so great to work with.

[@TheBitterestBoogie]

I met Dylan, Nick and Pickle a year ago before a show. Lovely bunch of folks, really excited to see what's next!!

[@viva_pica]

Class act. Futurephobic is a banger!

So glad to see Frankie and the Witch Fingers on KEXP!! Dylan is a rhythm guitar god!

[@gisharris4562]

fantastic shiz doing the biz, love the John Dwyer influence shining through, made my night finding this , thank you

[@Flynnerigan]

Surprised not to see more people mention John Dwyer here! That man is deserving of emulation. This new album is great.

Wow, whoa! Thank you, shared.

[@Tusitala1967]

My face melted! So much going on here: killer riffs, balls to the wall rhythm section, and so dang tight. I love it!

[@aschneider70]

Absurd! An everything grinder machine! Schizophrenic energy at full speed, precise, steady and inventive. The best thing I heard and saw this year!🎉❤

[@glenishii2022]

Never heard of this group but I'll be checking them out now. Crazy energy and unique sound! Amazing!

Went to the San Francisco show this past weekend. 150% energy. Wow.

[@shawnclayton9154]

Saw them the night b4 in SD. Tremendous!

[@jankoopmann4944]

Finally the KEXP performance! I have been waiting for it since they announced that they played a set there. Hope to see them in Germany some time!

[@caioruas6657]

At this point I'm almost 100% sure that KEXP just accept bands with at least 01 (one) member that use their guitar stripe that high. And that's cool.

[@milesp9154]

John Dwyer school of guitar straps

[@Reolins]

Also Tom Morello, some riffs are also inspired

[@user-xs8sg1ju3g]

very good band. very good drummer. cheers

[@GreenwayRecords]

Yes! Thank you KEXP & Frankie!

[@LightningDust46]

YES I AM SO HAPPY TO SEE FRANKIE ON HERE YAY!!!

[@weirdarthistorian]

Seen them on June in Berlin. Love them! ❤ Had a chat with Dylan at the merch stand. He is such a friendly dude.

[@Kevs_Music]

Seen them twice, one time at a festival, last time at a venue. The latter is one of the best gigs I've beeen to, hope to see them soon again!

[@jumeau1]

Jeez. that drummer is so fucking on point. what a great band.

[@saggygnaw]

The stereo separation with the guitars in this mix is on point! I saw these guys in Chicago last month with Wine Lips and the raw energy of the crowd was amazing, one of the best shows I’ve ever been to!
