[@sponkmcdonk3898]

these dudes are all about the music, no pretension or trying hard. pure vibes

[@LegaliseShemp]

They came to Chicago a while back and everyone loved them; they were so humble and appreciative. They put on one of the greatest shows I've ever seen; If you ever get a chance to see them live, do it asap.

[@dannylgriffin]

@@LegaliseShemp Chicago is a great music town. I miss it.

[@myautobiographyafanfic1413]

To be pretentious is to have pretense, not pretensions.

[@lucasthemycologist]

@@myautobiographyafanfic1413 That isn't true. Merriam-Webster says "pretentious: characterized by pretension: such as making usually unjustified or excessive claims (as of value or standing)". Pretentious, pretense and pretension also have the same etymology, coming from the Latin praetendō (“to pretend”). Don't correct people about things you're not sure about, always be skeptical.

[@capleton99]

Are they?! I'm supposed to be seeing them live in a week!

[@fnln1108]

Hunh? I'm seeing them live in a month!

[@ivancser]

@@fnln1108 think you will be OK. Their website says the 2022 tour is the final one. "After much discussion between the five of us at the end of last year, we have decided to go on an indefinite hiatus after 2022. This means 2022 will be our last year as Kikagaku Moyo."

[@mishamikemallory3959]

I guess because the industry, or this genre, is not really rewarding. 😔

[@metaknight115]

I just saw them at their last tour. Amazing band

[@fettuccinealraver]

Saw these guys at Desert Daze for their last show. So bittersweet. The amount of talent and vibes coming off that stage was amazing to witness

[@jjdagostino]

missed this show and was depressed, but I happened to have made a trip to Mexico City a few months ago and they are playing with Black Angels, Mars Volta, Osees, Still Corners, Primus among others, get to see them before they head on in the distance

[@MitchUeltschy]

was there as well so glad I was lucky enough to experience it but sad that it will be the one and only time I can see them.

[@mushroomjesus2068]

I was legit crying the entire show. I saw them at the fest where lighting was cracking behind them. A band I will tell my future generation about consistently

[@charliervrs]

@@jjdagostino Was there too! Travelled from El Salvador, awesome to see international peeps that made it there. Great lineup, sadly shitty sound from some bands, but luckily we got a nice treatment for Kikagaku.

[@gopaint]

Played better than Tame Impala!

[@JohnDoe-nt5nd]

One of the best neo-psych bands. Rare technique and complexity for the genre, not to mention thoughtful structure, nice groove and great melodies

[@massajimson]

I've been turnt to this band during quarantine. I love Khruangbin, and one the other fans pushed me in this direction.

[@gamoto]

Taking a Sunbath on the Balcony, smoking and listening to the Music :)

Man I am home alone smoking in the dark but still the same feeling! This guys give me chill

[@alihifi]

Waking up at 6am on a Saturday to go to work, this show really buttered my bread. Such talent. We used to listed to these guys while driving through the Clackamas River valley- hawks flying overhead, pine trees on the cliffs

[@nicholas856]

I bet Syd Barrett would have loved these boys!

[@toddnoble1936]

Weird? Was just watching Pink Floyd videos. This was recommended.

[@fabianmartinez-oj3oo]

[@thelsdaysband]

It's true

[@carlp3214]

And Lou Reed

[@cyyytr0n]

I bet they themselves love all the artists cited above .. may I add Crosby, Still, Nash & Young for the luminous acoustic tracks

[@hauntedgarden6685]

So glad I’m a fan of these guys. So grateful to see them towards the end of their time together on the West coast since 2022! Such a meditative sound and really good to get me in a positive, peaceful, and genuinely happy mindset! Who’s also listening here to round off their 23? 🫶🏼🌸☺️

[@hazzah9356]

Not to be dramatic since we will still have 2022 with them, but they announced they are going on indefinite hiatus and now I watch somewhat with melancholy

[@ravelnoise]

Saw them live in Berlin, one of the best gigs I've ever witnessed

[@varnavaschris6791]

[@Cleptomanicx92]

I closed my eyes almost for the entire concert, just taking a glimbse to see them shining in a colorful way like their music.

[@tofudad]

I still get goosebumps listening to Green Sugar, its such a perfect song. Thank you guys so much I needed this today.

[@massparody]

Dude that wavy guitar is amazing. And that little guitar lick is neat

[@lehcar96]

[@LarsJAas]

I might just forget about magic mushrooms and listen to Green Sugar instead...

[@Kushwarrior040]

Awesome man! for me its cardigan song, I just can't describe the feeling I get from listening!

[@sirpuffmcdrunk1286]

Just to be clear, in case there was any dispute, Kikagaku Moyo are in fact the greatest band the world.

[@Majician69]

That’s a huge reach but they are pretty chill.

[@aminebenmoussa2627]

amazing how everybody in the band can play every instrument

[@ideabarn]

Oh man I thought they were going to tear into War Pigs at 29:00. Thank you KEXP - there’s not a lot in my life that gives the consistent quality you do. !!!

This made my quarantine so much better. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Probably the best Kikagaku Moyo youtube upload so far. Can't wait to see what they do next.

[@powpowtheplasticineporters5043]

Live in Saint George Church is an incredible footage too!

[@surlybird87]

Greetings from the 2020 pandemic! I miss live music. Seen these guys a total of 3 times in and around LA. 3 of the best gigs I've ever been to. Thank you for bringing us all a little comfort and joy. Until I can see KM for a fourth time!

[@45tone]

[@RactupusRex]

😎 lol me too brother

[@ryanbrink4390]

Kikagaku Moyo is a perfect soundtrack for it.... I would assume 😉

[@turboturtlehead]

2g of some boomers and this right now is heavenly. Saved me from spiraling out, as soon as I put this on. The best soundtrack!

[@Purpleking47]

Wow! This is only the second time that I've listened to this band and both times I was blown away. What an eclectic sound they make. Pink Floyd meets Radiohead, Parliament-Funkadelic and a Japanese dude....they all get stoned and create something beyond cool or beautiful. Oh shit! Then you guys come at me with some Steely Dan type groove that absolutely jazzed me to the bone. What a wonderful band.

[@edgarmadhook]

I saw these guys back in 2014 at the Shacklewell Arm in London, playing to a packed room of 100 or so people. Such a great gig!! The lead guitarist snapped a string towards the end (during Zo No Senaka) & asked if anybody in the room had a spare guitar. Bless!! We'll be seeing them next week in Leipzig, this time at an outdoor gig, and I can't wait. Super talented, super humble & they look cool as fuck too!

[@petercarlovich9129]

that one shot from the back of the stage reminds me of that one Can photo. so does the music, this is amazing

[@simongillis905]

100!!!! Thought the same thing.

[@vinyldiary6664]

A smooth transition from Grateful dead to this band I just met! Wow great sound, I'm high!

[@burritosupremejeem]

Seem like the kindest, coolest, most badass dudes ever. Wish I could've seen them out in the desert somewhere.

[@Rowenband]

Magic, just magic. This is their best video, and I watched a lot from them.

[@TheSanctityOfCrows]

I read that some of the band members had very little experience and undeveloped technical skills when they formed, and so had to keep the music simple. Well, their talent shines through, and it didnt take them long to become supremely proficient. Such beautiful and original and inspiring music!

[@BBD42069]

When I first saw these doods, I remember coming away with a Black Sabbath vibe from their jams. They can get so heavy, but then so mellow and soothing its fantastic.

[@awsomejuse]

too damn bad these guys are gone man. imagine, kika + gizzard

[@sabinejordan3110]

So incredibly beautiful. I'm heartbroken that they decided to call it quits. They are so freaking brilliant. Love all their music.
