Slowdive: KCRW Live from HQ

[@richardedward123]

I'm so glad this group is playing music again. Now another generation (my kids!) can appreciate.

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

Don´t force them to like your stuff now. Let them appreciate it on their own. Later, they'll remember you whenever they hear these songs. Most likely in a melancholic way.

[@grifforama]

Unbelievable that it's been 32 years since I saw Slowdive at the Slough Music festival, and then I saw them at Glastonbury this year. Consistently an amazing band.

[@rohanramgude7874]

it's my dream to see them perform live once!

[@budybradley8257]

30 years ago in a small venue in Los Angeles.

[@jonyoung7775]

Saw them in Slough too, which seems bonkers to think it was the centre of the indie universe for a few months back then. Seeing them again in London next month. Amazing how they've come back.

Slowdive music takes me to whole another universe.

*THIS THE BEST VERSION OF ALISON* *IM NOT JOKING*

[@davids1301]

Looks like they’re really enjoying their renaissance. A mighty band ❤️

[@viipurinpoika]

I think the opposite, these days they hated each other terribly. and they are great!

[@thegerams]

I’ve seen them three times over the past few years now and you can see / feel how they enjoy performing to people who love their music.

[@hamzatariq20]

@@thegerams I love their music.

Simon’s drumming is f***ing fantastic on this. They’re all awesome here.

[@justinemallatt8713]

I'm a relatively new convert to Slowdive, I've been a fan since their 2017 album. I went through their entire discography a few years back and they were so ahead of their time, glad they're finally resonating with younger listeners in recent years. I'm beyond excited to see them in DC!

[@theobster]

Saw them at Royal Holloway University students union in 91, it was one of the most memorable gigs I’ve seen, felt like an out of body experience.

[@theeclecticlifewithsam]

I love that the drummer is wearing a Drab Majesty tshirt! One of my favorites. This was an excellent performance. Very peaceful and moving. The world needs more of this! ✌️

[@n0kturna1]

Of course, Drab Majesty fans come from growing up with the Cure, Siouxsie and Cocteau Twins, therefore you enjoy Slowdive

[@deepfocus888]

Last tour out they were the opener and they'll do the same in 24!!! Just got my tickets.

[@BuckeyeExpat]

Love Drab Majesty Love Slowdive Love the Cure Love New Order Love the Smiths Love Radiohead Love Ride

[@jamesobrien1440]

I love Drab Majesty as well. I hope to see them as they are coming to the UK soon. So many great bands around: Secret Attraction, Tiny Fireflies, Still Corners. Thank god SD & especially the Cocteau’s got me into this great music

[@GeorgeeJunglee]

One of the most influential bands of all time!!!!!! Souvlaki is one of the best albums ever made.... Such an incredible band can't wait to finally see them live in February....

[@wesmitchem825]

So good I don't know how dude can play a song like when the sun hits that's about someone that's so close to me and not break down or just want to grab her and cry I'm glad they were able to get over that and at least still make beautiful music

[@kicksex]

He’s been playing it for 30 years. Idk it feels like he almost resents it at this point in a way

[@struct7766]

Saw Slowdive in 91 and the gig was transcendental

[@Romany1111]

KCRW does it again! Slowdive's new record is fantastic, and of the best studios to show them off is this station. Beautiful photography, editing, and sound production. Bravo!

[@kcrw]

Thank you for your support ❤

[@matt_aIIen]

I wish this longer intro version of Kisses was available on record….

[@gmcenroe]

Great sound quality on this video of one of my favorite bands, thanks!

I miss their another band “Mojave3”, hope I can see their live one day ❤

[@aqwan01]

If I was only allowed to listen to one band's songs for the rest of my life, that band would be Slowdive.

[@timatotoro]

Why am i only now discovering this band?!?! I was listening to Lush back in the day, but never heard this band! They are great!

[@jasonmuhsmann5670]

Join the club. I am just discovering them and I am in my 50’s now.

[@patrickjacques1849]

Je les ai découvert il n'y a que 2 ou 3 ans ! J'en ai 63 ans 😢

[@timatotoro]

@@patrickjacques1849 yup

[@jarsilver]

this version of Alison is so good.

[@highbury1972]

I can’t add anymore praise on Slowdive as they’re just ace. Loving Rachel‘s half and half hair plus her Bundesrepublik Brille.

[@rbcchan]

I think this is the best version of Alison I've ever heard ❤

[@michaelvrba9962]

came here to say that. the fact that this version is possibly better than the original is insane.

[@georgelee9099]

I sat and drank beers with Neil in a little dive in Atlanta. Such a class bloke. What a legacy

[@blakewu1375]

They're still so good after all these years....sad I didn't get to see 'em the last time they were in the SF Bay area. Please come back again soon!

[@MidnightLightMusic]

This mix is actually mad

[@stroso83]

Went to watch them live a few days ago, WOW. If you've never understood "wall of sound" go see them live. Slowdive builds their sonic goodness behind a dam, and when full, unleash it all at once on the audience in a deluge of sound. It reverbed off every nook and cranny of the venue and was just inescapable. You just have to laugh manically when it happens.

[@massgrave8x]

saw them a few nights ago as well and felt the same, at the first crescendo of their set I found myself overwhelmed and grinning ear to ear. massive as ever.

[@Bryan8329]

I completely understood when I watched David Gilmour in 2016 play the intro and outros to one of his Pink Floyd songs. I have been on the lookout for PF cover versions and I have to say that it although it was a Syd Barrett solo track, their version of “Golden Hair” is one of those definitive 90’s UK tracks speaking as a Hoosier yankee. Not withstanding the amount of incredible original material this band produced, which was as important to me at 18 as Pink Floyd were at 13. Souvlaki is a masterpiece of British rock and to hear their reverberations in today’s music warms an old cynic like me.

[@jokkejens]

Brought girlfriend to see them in London approx 10 years ago, and when that wall of sound came up, I put both my hands out as to feel the wall, embracing and preparing to suffer permanent hearing loss. That's when I noticed the girlfriend running out of the hall to safety but tbh I couldn't care less.

[@iqbalfaizercomedian4066]

Got into them in the last year I started buying their CDs. Only started listening to their 2 newest albums from 2017 and 2023 this November. Wow! Had never heard of them before 2022.

[@final_mile_music9713]

Awesome! Checkout Creation records roster from the early ‘90’s. Alan McGee, the owner, was a fantastic taste-maker in England at the time. He put Slowdive out there originally.

[@johnparkhill2963]

Time devours all -- but the pleasure of listening to new slowdive tracks.

[@Yisus_044]

All the memories with her came to mind when Slomo begins 😪❤️

[@Boomblast57]

One of the most beautiful moments of life seeing them live at Glastonbury x

[@Angel_L80]

Love ya forever Slowdive ❤

[@Zeek764]

Incredible band whether on album, in the studio like here or really loud in a concert hall. They are all in sync giving each other the space to express themselves. Slowdive forever!

[@patg6205]

I used to think star roving was their best song, and then recently I’m hooked to slowmo. Can’t stop listening to it…

[@StudioScarecrow]

My two favorites as well

[@moogibeans9822]

Really like these guys. Been a fan since a friend from spain introduced me to when the sun hits. Love this new album too. Prayer remembered and chained to a cloud are my favorite tracks from it

[@charlesshepherd2004]

I just discovered this today after a Spotify deep dive. How come no one has ever told me about these guys. Man. I feel like a fool. I love it

[@pgbear]

You are very welcome. Enjoy Slowdive.

[@cassbloom]

Easy.... Apparently rap music is better according to number of views and the mainstream media....😅

[@tinalconnell3554]

Mainstream is money , these guys are a precious gem, still somewhat hidden

[@lucagiancottimusic]

Damn!!! Insane how great they STILL are!!!! Missed USA tour but won’t miss next one!!!

Everything Is Alive = Best Album Of 23 ! Kisses 💋 = Best Song Of 2023 ! I ❤ Slowdive !

[@akramdinulakbar9924]

It's amazing how youthful their songs and music are. We're talking about a band that were formed in the same generation as Oasis here.

[@toddl7305]

Happy they are still playing When the Sun Hits. And they rocked its ass too!

they are better now than in the 1990s. Amazing

[@miguelangelmiranda8460]

Tuve la oportunidad de verlos la semana pasada en Guadalajara, y, el concierto fue sencillamente increíble. Cuánta melancolía y tristeza, pero, al mismo tiempo alegría y belleza. Recomiendo absolutamente verlos en vivo, estoy sin palabras.

[@DonS-m9e]

They came a long way......Cheers !

[@goldman930]

Watching each of this radio records and gigs, watching from a country to where Slowdive, maybe, will never come back with a tour, and it is the biggest gift for me. Love and peace!

❤ The version of “Kisses” here is magnificent- it makes the album version feel like a “single edit” in comparison.

Re re discovering Slowdive

[@final_mile_music9713]

Saw them and bought their first records in ‘90 and have loved them ever since. Saw them again in Chicago this year, 32 years after seeing them originally as a 20 year old in England. It was great to share that moment with a load of youngsters with great taste. Favorite band by a mile. Always have been.

[@Steph-uq9lh]

We saw them in Indianapolis last night. Great show!

[@Jason-Scott]

Seen them live last night,super show 😊

[@bobtomes7842]

[@johnnyd.8672]

Isla Vista, California, May 26, 1996. We knew nothing about this band. We thought the "lead singer" was named Spider, so my friend kept yelling, "Ello, Spi-Dah." How wrong we were. 30 years later, they still blow me away. Keep it loud, Slowdive, that's when you're at your best...
