Japanese Breakfast | Austin City Limits Festival 2018 | Full Live Set

[@jeffreyolson5261]

I just read the book Michelle wrote - Crying in H-Mart. It blew me away and I cried many times as she talked about her mother dying of cancer. At the time I did not even know she had a band until she mentioned it at the end of the book. What an incredible woman!

[@zabi_aka]

I found out about this band a couple of months back and it was such a surprise to learn it was actually her band 😄

[@frankfrank7921]

If you didn't know her from her band then why, may I ask, did you read a memoir by someone you knew nothing about?

[@zabi_aka]

@@frankfrank7921 for me, it was part of book club list. Someone really wanted to read it

[@WhiskeyandDonuts]

@@frankfrank7921 Sometimes people read books about people they don't know.

[@balohna]

@@frankfrank7921 I got into Japanese Breakfast this year and decided to read the book partly because of that, but had heard of the book independently before I knew the connection. It's not really like a music industry memoir or autobiography - it's very specifically about losing a parent and reconnecting with her culture through food. Details about her life and career are of course mentioned, but it all ties back into the core themes of the book. I could definitely see many people who have no interest in her music getting a lot out of the book.

"The Body is a Blade" will forever be one of my favorite songs

[@ViRodIz]

Same here :)

[@salemthemerciless]

When does it play ? Thanks.

[@sandyseptiandhy]

So agree man, for me it's the best song that she ever made

[@djuarez83]

Completely agree. Soft Sounds From Another Planet is right up there for me also.

[@noonlemur]

it's got a lovely music video too

[@meganbecerra905]

Diving woman is the best song ever. I listen to it every single day at least 20 times. I NEED to see this live I will die

@OneSilentGiant oh no! Here it comes again!

[@mayday4121]

I LOVE Michelle's voice. There are tons of female indie singers out there with that pitch perfect voice but Michelle is simply destined to sing. She has that uniqueness to her. Plus she's super talented musically and is a great person. What's not to love.

[@tankerfiveohh]

Recently discovered her work, and it's nice to know her singing is just as beautiful live.

[@tvtitlechampion3238]

She doesn't need the auto-tune. I realize its a tool in her toolbox, but cringe when I hear it.

[@henrirobertdupont7116]

@@tvtitlechampion3238 I disagree! The last song is a killer with that autotune...

[@ATLTraveler]

I hate it, shes so sqeaky and annoying tbh.

[@grundlefly]

Hello Austin, we're Japanese Breakfast, we're from Philedelphia, and I'm Korean. ;)

[@angrymallbabies5081]

She’s very in control of every aspect on stage, yet they are very much a band - not a ‘star’ and a backing band. I like their vibe and I very much enjoy her interaction, on stage and with the crowd. It brings a great vibe.

[@gamesloverjustice]

I was there listening to them for the first time ever and when Dreams came on, it was one of the most blissful moments of my life.

[@pamela6649]

IF YOU DONT LIKE HOW I LOOK THEN LEAaAAVEEEEEEE

[@jdustan]

A little bit of bjork, the sundays, the cranberries, & in a weird way, nikki lane (vocal wise). Good stuff. Drummer doesn't over do it and sings good backup.

[@dustybottoms2780]

I love this band!! Sounds like 90' and feel the mood&vibe at that time.

[@Dogfathergrooming]

I never heard sweet baby until recently, I thought it was from the 80s, I'm a metal guy that loves 80s new wave, Japanese breakfast fits in perfectly

[@alistairblaire6001]

Something about their music feels like it's reaching deep into my brain to pull a feeling I've never experienced

[@jeffhansen222]

Ok, that first song was incredible. Kind of had a Silversun Pickup vibe. Absolutely favorite ever. I'd also like to add the drummer has a great sound and harmonizing voice. Syncs really well with yours. New fan for life here!

[@yuluanliu7007]

she really good at jumping

[@Sogonrei]

I'm blown away by this band! I am so elated I found them this week..Michelle's voice is sublime.

[@jennifers4351]

I hope band reads this comment. Hearing your beautiful music for the first time. I feel like my ability to dream again is being unlocked as I listen. Sounds so fun and free without affectation. Amazingly explosive yet wholesome. True art and heart coming together. Thank you for the love.

[@joshsater4044]

Credit the sound techs, the sound is immaculate. Heard an interview with Michelle on NPR a few days ago and thought I'd listen to some music as she's completely new to me. I dig it.

[@bigjohnson7415]

No offense to Nashville, but Austin IS Music City! Of course they'd have ace sound guys. Running sound is an unsung talent.

[@kens5871]

Never seen/heard of them before. A fan now

[@danieldiver11]

First track was bloomin' brilliant. Landed here after the SNL tam-tam track. Outstanding.

If only I'd been there :(

[@usami0jp]

I am Japanese. I am Japanese Breakfast fan. They are evolving great. The vocalist and the others are great! Drums and guitar/keyboad are great. The vocalist’s guitar is nice! In this live Michelles’ cloth is lovely, ever.

[@syahzidhan9177]

Wow, respect the crowd, nobody recording a videos with their phone or make instastories

Am I the only person who is intrigued by how the drummer's shirt colour changes from light to dark grey throughout the set as the sweat takes hold?

[@ShakyBeanz]

Omg!! These Guys are Freaking badass!!! After Road head I feel in 😍😏

[@SpaceTimeManipulatorSTM]

Machinist is a really weird live song and I love it. Its so perfect on the recording and so raw live its a really great juxtaposition.

[@gehrigmunguia8215]

as a fan of the voidz i love it so much one of my favs from them

[@henrirobertdupont7116]

I just discovered Japanese breakfast. The Fender Player Plus Sessions clip brought me here, and I've got to say it was a thrill to listen to their music. The bassline in Diving woman was candy to my ears, and Machinist sounded so good with that autotune. Those two tracks were my favorite in this performance. That's a great band, I wish them all the success...

[@luisezequielcampos8215]

Love they play Till Death in this kind of festival, because recently I read that James (one of my favourites bands) does not play Alaskan Pipeline (an incredible amazing calm and nuanced song) at festivals because they think that it does not go with the vibe of a festival environment. All love to you brekkies!

This was a STUNNING set. The Cranberries cover gave me chills, reminds me of when my brother brought back the CD when he was in college and we listened to it for the first time driving down a long stretch of highway. All the songs sounded fantastic, was nice to see Driving Woman and Machinist live.

[@flyingcheff]

Every once in a while she's really on key and it sounds so good. It's really hard, I know, especially live. I love this group. I do appreciate their effort and their great music.

She’s a sensitive great woman with full of love. Till Death hit me hard.

I just picked up Soft Sounds From Another Planet and I'm really liking what I'm hearing. I heard Michelle once say that she'd like the third Japanese Breakfast album to be a mix of Nine Inch Nails and Bjork, and I'm really hoping that happens! She already reminds me of a young Trent Reznor, I'd love to see JB go in a heavier direction. Michelle, if you ever somehow read this, go for it! I know you could pull it off!

[@SuperKeithwood]

You had to be there! Was a really hot day in Austin, Texas, but was a dreamy performance. This Cranberries' Dreams cover was just months after front woman Dolores O'Riordan died that same year in 2018 - emotional performance. Love you JBrekkie!

Very nice. I have been studying modern alt rock, Female vocal driven pop and all manner of derivation. Michelle is a very special voice and with the right framing could be a strong contender for the next Brian Eno or something much more viable and viral than what's being sold these days as pertinent. Great potential. Lovely intentions. I've just discovered she's written a book that will top the bestsellers. Well done dear!
