Been Stellar - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@phisheswonder]

Best band in NYC and one of the best bands around right now. Give them a listen right now, you will not regret it

[@phisheswonder]

@ what the hell are you talking about

[@idreamofsilas623]

⁠@@phisheswonderHe’s right. That’s why the trump “make America great again” guitars 🎸

[@ULTRAVISTA.]

GIFT is the best band in NY. Look up momentary presence. You've never heard an album so good.

[@SPRobinson21]

lovely blokes, too. super humble kids. can’t wait to see what’s in store for them

[@vktrrtzn3425]

DIIV is the best NYC band atm by far

[@cds9000]

Drummer is SO good. Articulate and POWERFUL. Makes it all work.

[@TheNiz78]

annnnnnd she's gone 😭

[@totheair247]

@@TheNiz78 huh wait what

[@christopherjones8949]

What happened?

[@martinoal2318]

Was just about to say this. Those drum parts are so good. They're a band where everyone writes great parts and plays them with so much feel, but she still sticks out as really creative without being wanky. Has she genuinely left? If so that's massively disappointing. I can't see anything from a cursory Google. Please send a link. Most drummers that leave bands like this end up having their individuality wiped out and just being used (essentially) as great session players. Really hope that's not the case here. Such a great band all round!

[@herchal]

@martinoal2318they posted on their instagram briefly , saw them on monday in toronto and can confirm she wasn’t there 😢

[@tacosnachosburritos]

So these guys open for Fontaines D.C. and was immediately hooked.

[@markiep8477]

Me too. Immediately got the album!

[@seeyoulateer]

saw them live in 2023 and they blew me away. scream from new york, ny was my favorite album of 2024 glad to see they are getting recognition

[@maryburke5423]

I’m my top 2 albums of 2024. Grew on me over months …love it so much!

[@maryburke5423]

I love that comment from Skyler about staying in touch with their 14 yr old selves as a key to longevity. Interesting that I heard Robert Smith in a recent interview say he still checks in with his 19yr old self all the time.

[@cookiekiller200]

Hugely underrated band

[@mickeyknox1111]

Im obviously one of the older ones here being reminded to sunny day real estate or silversun Pickups. But they do so Great transforming that feeling in the time now, wow. Thank you so much.

[@josietran2003]

Great comparison! I'd add Interpol, Swirlies and the Stone Roses to that comp.

[@daydreamings]

@@josietran2003 saw them open for interpol last december, was unreal

[@maryburke5423]

The kids are alright !

[@jackj3311]

arguably a top 5 album of the year and one of the strongest debuts in a while

[@hayleylongster4698]

Will defo be checking it out ❤

[@ejx1038]

Fantastic drummer love them

[@elijahphoenixbm]

God they are so good saw them open up for Fontaines and was blown away

[@The_austinmiller]

This is one of the coolest KEXP performances I’ve seen in a minute. NYC rock will never die🤘🏻

[@danmcdonough9]

Saw them open for Fontaines DC in Boston, murdered

[@m.k.8658]

Wow, the drummer rocks!

[@hayleylongster4698]

She's also gorgeous which helps a lady drummer a lot 😁 (used to be one)

[@666nuggetmeal2]

saw these hombres in manchester. after the set they were smoking cigs outside the venue chatting with fans. Just lovely cool people

[@herchal]

i got the vinyl signed they are awesome

[@mozigyar]

Scream from New York, NY 0:42 Passing Judgement 4:53 Pumpkin 8:54 I Have the Answer 13:19 Enjoy!! Great set, sounds incredible. Why did I have to wait for this for soooooo looooongggg pleeeassseeee I'm glad it's here

[@TheBundyboy66]

Best new band of 2024 and one of the albums of the year!

[@daynester]

Interesting that this would be released so close to Ben Stiller’s appearance on Hot Ones.

[@vankierjerome6842]

Quel bonheur de retrouver Been Stellar sur KEXP après les avoir vus pour un concert exceptionnel au Botanique à Bruxelles le 16/11/2024!!!

[@thelitlleboss]

C'était un super concert

[@uyi4781]

i saw them back in february opening for the 1975! Truly one of the best bands at the moment!! they’ll be at big stages soon xx

[@ethan..-_]

some of the best music ever

[@tessasoccervideos342]

Great set and new discovery (thanks yet again KEXP)! Just bought tix for Cafe du Nord in May!

[@highpoweredsupernova]

Best cameras and editing I’ve seen on a set on here. Cool band name , great set

[@DanDelafuente]

Awesome sound! Side note - My cat sped up the video to 1.75x almost exactly at 14:35 without me realizing it, and it sounded amazing at this tempo up until vocals started. I was like, wait a minute, since when does KEXP add video fx..

[@clahodg]

the best ever!!!!!

[@shane.defranco]

They are great, band sounds awesome! I just miss Sweet on this.

[@nedlongdon8607]

The next big alternative band. They are crazy good

[@damo447]

Seen them live a couple of weeks ago, absolutely brilliant. Expecting big things from them.

[@dancsee71]

Great sound. Reminds me of Placebo x Nine Black Alps which is definitely a good thing.

[@hayleylongster4698]

Yeah I can hear a little Placebo too (which might be why I like it.....)

[@RobbieLang]

Love this band. Psyched to see them on KEXP.

[@areeceandy9439]

This band has had me on a chokehold with the album there even on my wrapped great nyc band fo sho 😌🤟🏾

[@thisgamehasonename]

loved this year's album and the set is also great!

[@burysmog2554]

[@Erixival]

Really amazing band with great potential! Can’t wait to them in New York 🤘

[@stormgeist1766]

Wow! Just fantastic! Listened through 3 times straight

[@davidwardfilms]

The sonic aesthetic is unrivalled

[@MidnightLightMusic]

KEXP has discovered my favorite bands too, love it! Between Been Stellar and Ulrika Spacek, its been lit

[@alexbalam6120]

Great band! ✨🔥😄

[@losangeleslovesyou]

Great live band and Laila is fantastic..🤍

[@nataliel4836]

Fabulous

[@ballstadt]

Love this band. Like 2024 Posies.

[@hayleylongster4698]

Normally so bored of bands who sound like they came outta the 90s (was there the first time round 😂 lol), but this.... this I can get down with.

[@maryburke5423]

Yeah, they’ve captured something with real integrity that has lineage to the best of their predecessors, but isn’t imitative

[@VladCarpenter72]

❤Love u.

[@giorgios1986ingaming]

cool

[@EdgarsBalodis-hc3xz]

🖤

[@soldaditomarinero77]

great band from ny

[@JocelioSantos-m2m]

Brasil in the house 😊

[@BandCam06-zv9nt]

so sick - they're like lou reed meets sonic youth

[@maryburke5423]

Beautiful analogy

[@vondock]

this band Ben Stiller really rocks!

[@DiscoLeafs]

they sound fantastic. gotta ask though - has Nando left the band permanently?

[@碕-z8w]

have to find info about 李海翔🙃

[@spencerrex2114]

Is this a perfect band?

[@hayleylongster4698]

No, but who is. (Radiohead).

[@sofianieves7028]

bff currently obsessed with this

[@acerv0]

Is the name a riff on Ben Kweller or Ben Stiller? Or, yes?

[@radiosuperfmmusicanueva]

Radiohead + DIIV

[@youtubeaccount9058]

Grunge is back?

[@berniebro420]

Ben Stiller? I see the industry plant nepo kid parallels 😂

[@nahimgucci]

do you think this guy has ever heard of kurt cobaine?

[@joshuabeeAlafia1]

um... that drummer got a heavy foot and the band has a nice fresh tone.

[@monkeyrevolution1964]

Very very Nirvana

[@-Deena.]

12 year olds in bands, shouldn't be allowed 😉

[@NeonAlgo]

im shure they are really concerned about your coment

[@hayleylongster4698]

Everyone has to start somewhere!

[@-Deena.]

@@NeonAlgo Well, if they aren't, then it's early to bed for them.

[@-Deena.]

@@punkinhoot I am not 12, this us true.

[@QueefMcGeesHouse]

Ahhhhhhh ok who's dad in this band is finance CEO or music CEO?

[@gpbgpbgpb]

hugely overrated band.

[@gbluecheez]

Who pissed in ur cereal

[@hayleylongster4698]

I dunno I kinda like them.
