[hate5six] Hail the Sun - January 22, 2023

[@daskiier]

Man his vocals are so much more powerful when he isn’t drumming but damn it’s killer to see him play and sing. Also the dude who is playing the drums is equally killer.

[@martinsrt]

Allen Casillas is an insane drummer

[@jimrope3849]

I totally disagree! His vocals are soo much more controlled and full when he’s drumming instead of bouncing about! Obviously love it either wayyy🫀❤️

[@viciousoz4188]

@@jimrope3849 Definitely. He somehow sounds better when he’s drumming. But no complaints either way

[@CharlesKunsman-cm2ms]

It's amazing to see Alan fit so well with them not sure if he has part in writing drums or if Donavan still has any part of the drum writing, either way Alan makes it sound as if Donavan was sitting behind the drums

[@티아나-d2b]

@@jimrope3849I also prefer his vocals when he’s drumming 😅 idk how he does it it sounds like the studio version…

[@jessgarbanzobean]

I remember in 2012, my now husband's band played a show with Hail The Sun at a grange hall in Chico,CA. with a band called Final Last Words (yes that was really their name lol). During their set, someone spilled their beer in the mosh/dance pit, so some dude broke into the janitor closet, grabbed the mop and bucket, and started mopping/dancing in the pit with everyone else just dancing around him. One of the best memories of my youth, loved this band ever since.

[@Hysteriantic]

Truly an amazing sight I'm sure.

[@frankmarano1118]

Thats a great story lol, I've seem live as well & it was amazing

[@theArchive1O]

[@gutcheckfm]

Them not playing Domino is a crime

[@pronounced.c1oud]

you're the first person ive seen who does timestamp setlists and even says which song is from where. if nobody else says it then lemme say you're a fuckin TROOPER for including the albums too, wish more ppl would do that

Thank you for this video. See you soon.

[@zachs6895]

You guys are amazing

[@jeffchicao]

100% Respect meu irmão! You guys are getting better and better!

[@JugsKise]

Hope you guys know what your music has done for a LOT of people out there, myself included. Thank you for sharing your art with the world.

[@samuelnichols4709]

So hyped for the new album!

[@joebuczkowski8605]

Great performance. 👏 Bravo Encore.

[@moonsets-on_you]

16:55 Man I love "Anti-Eulogy" and wish the way its played here was in the actual album. I adore how atmospheric the beginning is set up to be and how long it lingers. Completes the song better imo. Ik its like that for Donny to enter drums and to keep the crowd invested at the same time. Can't wait to see them next month for the Divine Inner Tension tour. "Chunker" live will be a fucking treat. Edit: Chunker AND "Maladapted". Maladapted is easily one of their best songs. this album's singles have just been on a clean streak lately

[@conor.brennan]

easily one of their best tracks, this was a very well put together set

[@Redd_504]

I saw you hanging is my favorite but the two you mentioned are great as well 👍🏾

[@anthonyk0420]

Do you realize how rare of a recording this is ! Holy shit 38:00 gets tripping a completely different approach to the song so tripping and amazing , infucking love Donny and hail for doing this and you for capturing this moment in time ♥️

[@Hysteriantic]

Thanks for the upload! Quality performance recordings are rare and this is it.

[@dajwer7522]

They deserved a well made live recording so much!!

[@BigProllum]

I've been living under a rock, this band is fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@RottenlyMoodyChild]

Do yourself and favour and listen to their entire discography!!! It's brilliant!

[@giantcerealbowl2120]

you're not the only one, i was today years old lol

[@captainshiner42]

That was me back in 2019, but I feel ya, brother! They slap so damn hard tho.

[@Ant-gu6vz]

idk how they're so underrated tbh they're incredible

[@captainshiner42]

@Ant-gu6vz They are incredible, but only underrated because most people would rather hear 3-chord pop songs(nothing wrong with pop at all, by the way) than stuff that they can't dance to. The world is a large place. Not every kind of music is for everyone.

[@panndis6641]

While its weird Donovan isn't doing double duty anymore i completely understand why he chooses not to when the singing and drumming is so complicated. Killer performance i will always love Hail the Sun

[@treyvillafane5349]

He does it at around 19 minutes?

[@panndis6641]

@@treyvillafane5349 I mean full time like he used to. Still respect that he gets on it though!

[@Thisisaline]

Having played drums myself, I always found it weird that he had to do both, so it's good to see that he can focus on vocals and being a frontman now

[@Lukav2008]

I think it's needed nowadays. Towards the end of the set you can tell he's running out of steam, so to try and drum and sing for the whole set now most likely just isn't feasible. Still an outstanding performance, but it's good to see he's accepting his limitations and using his energy to keep up the vocals and performance up front. Perhaps in his younger days, and when HTS were probably only playing 25/30 minute sets it was fine, but the longer sets and age won't be any help!

[@harpy2602]

I think "chose to" is more accurate. the band members were very goo friends. Donny wrote the lyrics and could play drums, so did both instead of bringing in a random 5th guy they didn't know/weren't as tight with. That's how I've always seen it

[@zachs6895]

Glad they made an appearance on here, one of my favorite bands for years

[@JOKE485]

Wake will always remain my favorite album from them.

[@silversteinfan30]

agreed but they haven't wrote a single bad song, they blow my mind with every new album

[@frankmarano1118]

​@@silversteinfan30100% agree, they never disappoint

[@Drunken-Startrooper]

Was just about to drop the same comment. Completely underrated record ❤

[@dankershaw5875]

they are doing a US 10 year anniversary tour for Wake!

[@foodforthegods]

Powerful fucking vocals. Not familiar with this band, so it took me by surprise. What a fantastic mix too, extra desert for everyone involved!

[@Osmarbadom97]

Listen to Sianvar!

[@ThaOrphanCrippler]

@@Osmarbadom97 Bro this. Sianvar is a power house of musicians. Good to see Hail The Sun on Hate5Six though! Was not expecting it.

[@morrisgreg2176]

same man

[@Hysteriantic]

This has to be his best vocal performance so far. Some of the lines sound even cleaner than the recordings, it really makes this upload special

[@thanksyoutubefortakingmyhandle]

@@Hysteriantic drums are so good too i can't believe how perfect this set is

[@4sterp542]

My buddy just suggested this live set performance to me and I’m truly grateful. Thank you Joe I love you buddy . Thank you for always being there for me

[@Prof.Pwnalot]

Thanks for the upload man! Really good audio and video on this, nice recording :) 22:15 dude on his phone, come on man. Even the chick one person down is just using her phone to record and is still into the show.

[@1dyingwishh]

the intro for misfire made me realize the hugeeeeeee mars volta vibes that song has

[@freakypan-p4i]

Drunkship of Lanterns fr

[@rciano278]

Tough to see not many people know HTS, was equally excited to see them and TSAOAF that night. What a great bill this show had, great performance

[@ElectrickWizard]

Wow never heard these guys before, they're great.

[@909mm]

every1 talking about his vocals in here and yes youre right , my jaw started dropping the more he kept singing 😭😭

[@POW_rightinthekisser]

Probably my favorite band I've ever seen live. They put on one hell of a show every single time. It's so rare to find a band perform with the same passion they had when they began touring and I'd argue their performances only get better and better over time

[@TheNightdiver]

GREAT band, really solid discography. Really looking forward to their next release

[@Hysteriantic]

Me too! New tour means I get a chance for them to come to Florida. I am buying all the merch without a second thought

[@jbrandona119]

The new album is fuckin sick 🔥

[@ladygaara8]

Donovan is just insane! He is a sick drummer and singer, it's really impressive how he manages to do both things at the same time!

[@somethinstubby5928]

The intro to Misfire was amazing it gave me the chills. Hell yea to another kick ass performance

[@bloodzilla.]

I will cry ugly tears the day Donny finally stops singing and playing for Fun in Dysfunction 😭

[@8ballman749]

The vocals are fucking sick

[@muttmediatv]

Anti-Eulogy was insane

[@ChristianJAllen]

Donny always kills it on the kit

[@agdrummer2610]

That little tempo change at 1:26 when Donovan starts singing always got me. Just one reason these dudes are the real deal. Many of their songs have multiple parts that just move you.

[@3arthAngel444]

Nobody talking about how killer his percussion skills are, especially playing those complex time signatures while providing vocals. I saw them live years ago and was very impressed so many great bands i discovered as openers from shows i went to see the headliners.

[@harpy2602]

I wish Donny was on kit more often, tbh, but I completely get why he's not. It's not not that he can't do both, but it's so taxing to do for a whole set (and he doesn't like to be sitting down the whole show). But god damn, it' impressive (and fun to watch)

[@linkyloo1370]

I'm seeing them in Brooklyn in September. They're playin the entirety of Wake and I am SOOOOOOOO EXCITEDDDDD.

[@spaulk2002]

that intro to Misfire was amazing 38:00

[@JoyceGreens]

38:00 sounds like the Mars Volta, this band is ridiculously talented. Every album they make gets better and better, super fun to jam to

[@Cobalt985]

For sure. TMV has long been talked about by Donovan and Misfire in particular MUST have had some inspiration from Drunkship of Lanterns. This live version has to be my favourite, just wow...

[@m47t41]

Melero is a beast. Band's got a whole new level of energy when he's behind the kit.

[@HNTRmemes]

The Fun in Disfunction is an all time HTS banger

[@seanflood3987]

Allens energy as a drummer is what every band wishes they had. Dude can not miss. legend

[@vwampy]

This is my favorite band ever!! So happy to see a full live set :)

[@Kyotakatana]

I've been WAITING to see this band on your channel, dude! 🎉

[@XxXGhostxFtwXxX]

This is so beautiful omg I saw them the 1st time at warped tour and recently at SoWhat!? and I’ve been amazed every live performance they can produce 😭

[@juangaldames461]

Quizás me perdí un tiempo, pero que bueno tenerlos de vuelta!

[@guylumalfaro3176]

im curious, how do you go about requesting the live mix from sound engineers when you film a set? do they send it to you mixed fully or do u have other ways of accomplishing that? cool stuff dude, really

[@ababyalbatross9016]

personally I just ask if I can run a live out from their desk into my Zoom H5. I bring my own cables of various types to get a stereo mixdown. I have no idea if they did this here but it's the most reliable way and most people are happy to oblige so long as you know what you're doing and get in and out quickly

This has to be the best performance yet. Can't wait for them to hit Florida again

[@tristonmckinney3580]

I drove from nc to Philly to see this show and ended up with gum in my hair in the first two mins of hts playing. Worth it though

[@R2605x]

I fucking love the range of this channels coverage of music

[@sergiolopez3965]

Beautiful mixing. Seen 'em twice. Once at Chain Reaction; the other at Swanfest. They sounded this amazing both times.

[@davidsaintcyr3384]

This performance.... It gets better with age. I've been listening to this for the past year, and this live set hits all the right moments. One for the annals of rock and roll. This is my generations great band. Happy I've found them in their prime. Hope they get the exposure that's very well deserved. Maybe a tour with a legendary band like Metallica could be that break that takes them into the mainstream. Thoughts??

[@DjVolumeUp200]

He sounds so much like Anthony Green it's uncanny

[@alvarodurango5857]

y creí que era circa survive cuando en spotify sonó en random.

[@juicebochts6582]

They have songs that are basically just remixed copies of circa songs, with some random copies Mars Volta thrown in. I dig it, but it feels like a Chinese version of music. Just direct copies and it makes me feel dirty
