Hot Snakes - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@rjibieta]

Remembering Rick today. One of the most iconic voices ever in the genre.

[@crazybob75]

RIP Froberg... damn that man had a set of pipes

[@AshesOfAll]

Rest in peace Rick.. true inspiration!

[@swagv]

When the rock music world obsessed about Seattle, all my attention was on San Diego. From Pitchfork to Jehu to RFTC to Hot Snakes, these guys represented the Casbah sound more than anybody. 🔥🔥🔥

[@OIP_1]

god damn RIP rick. thanks for all the music, a true legend.

[@JTStandard]

Everything musically these guys ever got together to collaborate on was magic. From Pitchfork, Drive like Jehu, Hot Snakes etc. RIP Rick

[@smihilist]

This band grounds me. Every time I’m listening to something a little more traditional or experimental or vintage or modern or whatever, and then I hear this band and I realize this is all I ever need.

[@Jacksmusicshack]

also they're signed to the famous SUB-POP records whom signed nirvana and sunny day real estate among others!

[@swampmagicians4541]

When your grounding requires stomping 💯 👣 🔥

[@pears0094]

RIP Rick… 😕 You will be missed by so many. Thank you for your art. 🙏🏼

[@petterstre9354]

RIP Rick Froberg. What a band they were! Legend. So sad.

[@Lijoje]

Holy crap! I’ll never forgive myself for not finding out about this band until 2021. I’ve been brought back alive from this tedious boredom!

[@CurbBlurbs]

Dude I feel the same way and I saw Rick Frobergs other band OBits in 2013 at kexp.... I felt ashamed I didn’t know... but now we do! And now I need a doctorrrrr!!!!

[@bernierhoades4771]

Try plosivs

[@robertmoser8882]

I just found out today....good hod

[@JimmyWorld]

Will miss you forever Rick.

[@Jacksmusicshack]

The drummer is BY FAR the most underrated out there. Those patterns and style are his own!

[@Silvio_Spina]

He should be Bardo Pond's drummer. Love 'em!

[@philhudson3619]

You guys are cute. Aaron Kitcher

[@joao-vj4wk]

as well as those braids. cool as fuck

[@Jacksmusicshack]

Rest in peace Rick Froberg. We will miss you 😢

[@sadiethreat]

Heartbroken. RIP Rick ❤

[@SolamenteVees]

Thanks, KEXP! It only took me 20+ years to find another band featuring the front-end of Drive Like Jehu.

[@demonicsweaters]

This is the best shit since Yank Crime! I cannot believe how hard these dudes still rock! Putting in 1000% and it's amazing! I'm so glad these guys a plowing through the shitstorm of 2018 with this real music!

[@andreazibibbio3874]

wish to be an strong uncle like them....

[@gazhazzler1916]

I got Thunder Down Under on my mp3 player, thought I grew out of listening to hardcore punk but these guys are really good. I read about them in 1001 albums to listen to before your die book I've got. They have a much more intricate guitar sound than your standard hardcore punk shit. I really like them.

[@birdy1numnum]

We should all be grateful these guys do NOT sound like that horrible RFTC. yawn.

[@thedinnerdate]

bro, if you thought 2018 was a shitstorm, I'm here from the future with news.

[@SolamenteVees]

It’s like the more accessible side of Jehu; more compact, tighter but just as aggressive.

[@Paneeks1960]

One of the best bands on the planet and Rick Froberg is an amazing vocalist. I picked up their album 'Jericho Sirens' on vinyl just about a month ago and I have spun it consistently since then. Thank you KEXP and thank you Hot Snakes~ Rob/Boston

[@MrMicalo]

Surely one of the the best performances on KEXP

[@signalsmidwest3287]

RIP Rick. this is so great.

[@thadrifter_]

Rick And John. The indie rock Mick and Keith. RIP Rick

[@hv_fp8372]

15 minutes of Hot Snakes is such a brutal tease.

[@mroc7113]

Just absolutely lethal . Swami/Rick are one of the best guitar tandems I’ve ever come across, certainly for this type of music.

[@future6537]

I cant believe Rick is dead. He is younger then my dad. Told my old man in the car he is lucky to be alive, he should appreciate what he has as a non-creative. apparently pure art has a toll and a price. cant bargain for shit with life.

[@thecareersguy8858]

They should be the biggest band in the world.

[@RockeyeTV]

should be? what else

[@timneumann8515]

Indeed.

[@sadiethreat]

Nah. They’re just for us.

[@CurbBlurbs]

They maybe should be. But I’m lucky to have discovered Obits and hot snakes

[@Ben_Mdws]

Saw them in the UK earlier this year and they were awesome.

[@HARwinsOUTagain]

This band gets me so pumped

[@steelofcrom]

Is it just me or do the sound engineers just not get enough credit?

[@KevKavanagh]

You totally echoed my thoughts listening to this. Judging by everything I've heard from KEXP over the years, Kevin Suggs is one the best.

[@lemmingbcn]

@@KevKavanagh Everything sounds great. Credit to the engineers and credit to the band!

[@CurbBlurbs]

Great comment man. It needs to be mentioned ! It sounds amazing! It’s outdoors!! Lol how can it sound this right

[@kettlebellmusclegain]

Always thought this about KEXP.

[@kbb149]

This is one of the best live recordings ever!

[@TheSangredegrado]

It’s a shame John doesn’t sing in this group. His voice is super cool. Rocket From The Crypt was some of the best to come out of the 90’s.

[@Rubiconz07]

[@chilipismysignature5031]

this fucking rocks. Yank crime is one of my favorite albums ever so I had to see what my boys were up to.

[@SongMakerNYC]

Pure Healthy American Energy => One Of the BEST Alt-Punk-Whatever BANDS that this land Gifted to US . Love & Respect BROS

[@pabloisusi6097]

They remind me a little bit to Wipers. Both bands are great!!

[@seanh3479]

Cool fact - Wipers were a direct inspiration for Hot Snakes! (dat bass lol)

[@Alpha-soixante]

Oh man, I can't wait to see these guys. Last time I saw Rick and John play together was at a Jehu show. They are still, to this day, top 5 loudest shows I've seen.

[@joelshields8807]

I saw them in March. They straight up slayed.

[@Alpha-soixante]

@@joelshields8807 They cancelled the show I was supposed to go to last year, but I'm seeing them tomorrow night. Sweet!

[@dazzlinggems]

the hot snakes make me want to be a warrior :)

[@DenEz_TV]

This band apparently deserves more recognition. Exmerimental punk rock should live! Hot Snakes, thank you guys, for good music!

[@michaelwtapp]

props to the audio engineer

[@stewartchampion4260]

Great band and a great performance as usual ...love it..so many songs they didnt play that are amazing tho .. I need a doctor is always great ..

[@perconzzz]

I love them so much

[@mateus2]

Rest in Powe Rick

[@mikeymillionaire9031]

The first time Ive ever seen a bald dude and thought “he’s cooler than me”

[@boardforthescraping]

Holy she-it. face melting rock & roll.

[@PIGBR0THER]

The last album is the best rock action from 2018

[@somedude8548]

Coolest band ever.

[@chrispawl]

[@Rafael-ho1sg]

[@cangulersonmez8886]

“having another” is a really different song... experimental punk rock felt in my bones in that track..

[@mikeybeloved]

REST IN POWER SIR. GOD DAMNIT. DUDE CAN HOWL.

[@treignsinblood]

Whatta voice!!!!

[@outfreyn]

[@arnaudnoar3345]

Encore une bombe musicale!!! Thanks men!!

[@cargar62]

awwwhhhh yeahhhhhh look at'em go!!! thank you KEXP!!

[@CurbBlurbs]

I discovered Rick Froberg from his other band The Obits, and their 2012 kexp in studio performance.... man I love how this guy just plays kick ass up tempo rock. I think I like Hot Snakes better than Obits but ask me tomorrow lol

[@JorshWarshington1]

Good shit

[@jackdaddy9185]

First time hearing these guys. They sound great

[@Hopeiteadworthit2024]

Go San Diego Ca Bby..Killer🤘🏽👏🏽

[@J3ampyx]

[@markmckinney7920]

RIP Rick

[@Bertae]

freakin awesome guitar park they got going

[@taylorhanes234]

Jim Lahey on bass

[@babyduck9217]

Taylor Hanes i just pooped my self

[@wisterV]

Bass player looks like Sargent Garfield Wood of the Slo Ponies, Fishwife, & Tanner.

[@sadiethreat]

Hey! Are you Canadian??

[@j2thaC13]

The shitrock winds blew in some tasty shitbass, Ricky.

[@utah8312]

@@wisterV that is correct

[@waltoguilty2148]

F A N T A S T I C I... San Diego rules! 🤘🏻

[@monkeyxx]

rock solid

[@kdsquire99]

Swami is a guitar god

[@paulburg826]

Just discovered this band. Fuck me. Thank you KEXP.

[@johnmanion6463]

At any given moment he could almost sing, “What in tarnation’s going on right here”

[@yoyoyoyoadrian]

epic awesome

[@gregsonic]

I mean holy fuck

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

This band is just white hot. Rick Froberg is a genius and this band is untouchable. Look at all of the straight people stopping to dig it. Undeniable

[@bozosaurus666]

CARBS!!!

[@pablobucci5118]

They all look like Trevor Philips from GTA V

[@inalavalamp]

Funny, they have a song called "mystic decade" that was in a GTA game

[@RichardFriendartist]

so killer.

[@KingCrimson82]

Yeah !

[@JL-mu9sl]

drummer from Bardo Pond

[@Silvio_Spina]

♥️

[@JaimeCerrada]

Who needs a booster pedal when you can roll up and down the volume pot manually during your solo? Rookies!!

[@gittty]

I thought the same thing haha! But this is also the same guy that hangs his amp head off the neck of his guitar as well sooo

[@adolfoalcocer3841]

No needs any booster.. Really.. Rookies? Haha

[@brianbarrabee2177]

San Diego's BEST, bar NONE!!

[@danssescheveux60circuits95]

[@crash8563]

[@Kowinaida]

[@lachlanpaul]

[@harryyardas1706]

WoW!

[@nickel600]

Swami and Rick sounding as killer as ever. They’re really movin, must’ve taken their glucosamine and aspirin before this gig, ha.

[@CurbBlurbs]

Hahaha!!!

[@iwillnevergetone5]

[@Holden-C.]

Agreed

[@Jacksmusicshack]

Speedo's geetar is sparkly gold, baby!

[@deathsave]

The look on that chick's face says it all. RIP RICK!

[@Stormgrimmmm]

he unironically did in fact need a doctor. RIP

[@matthewjames206]

They have what appears to be a dynamite sound. Though I kept waiting for them to go into a R.F.T.C song. Either way, good stuff right here.
