Thank you npr for introducing me to these guys!!

[@lozzarc]

When live music comes back, I must see this band.

[@LukVonTrug]

You have to! It’s an adventure!

[@preliminar]

My thoughts exactly.

[@casperknol4612]

agreed

[@gerardrobertwayreyna7490]

Same

[@NathanSplosion]

First show im going to when possible!!

[@shawnt5779]

What a beautiful chaos. They truly made it their stage. Can’t contain Idles!

[@Dungeon_of_Regret]

Surprised no comments about how this is very memorable of early B52s. The guitar work. The metronomic drummer. The silly lyrics. The energy. The dentistry.

[@longliveu]

Aaron Evans yeah dude it’s punk

[@SelahDa]

Because is KZbin

[@anononomous]

Even a bit of Fred Schneider's staccato vocal delivery in there too 🙂 Good call.

[@somnambulantable]

@@freddie_sandwich1010 "you look like a walking thyroid" isn't silly enough for you? :)

[@nic-ci_66-77]

Sure. Also early B52's were totally subversives

[@lettucekisses]

I think this is the most Australian looking band without being Australian

[@piepo5002]

haha thought they were Australian! xD

[@bbens999]

I hope you square up against a British man with a perm saying this...

[@bbens999]

in jest.. in jest..

Yeah they look like the guys in King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard

[@B_27]

White Aussies are just British convicts anyway (I kid but not really) 😅

Sal's our big loser tonight, his punishment is to play drums for the band IDLES.

This is a visual representation of all multiple personalities having a jam session inside my brain.
