I DJ'd college radio about 10 years ago and this sound is still my favorite thing about music. Kind of glad it never got too popular because it feels sacred to me.

[@bizzaaach]

"No matter how many times I've heard it, it still sounds new" So true! Every time I listen to Quasi

[@noneofyoucanspell]

best band ever.

[@jessemillis9246]

+noneofyoucanspell agreed.

[@AL-sf6wh]

I could watch that woman play drums all night Great band

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

I've been into their exhilarating music for nearly 15 years. I'm so glad that they still let us enjoy this great music!!

[@LideeExquise]

They are so happy playing together... If all bands had to reach this level of sincerity in order to play they'll all disband... And Quasi would be on top of the charts.

[@nottsure5160]

God I love these guys. Especially when they talk about being sloppy and how they aren't afraid to be. So much energy. I've been obsessed with them since I was in high school and I'm always finding new stuff by them or new live takes on old songs. I dig it. Hope they never stop.

[@cameronshuck230]

They are crazy humble. Bravo

[@Chentinno]

Just heard a couple of tunes from this band, and I think they're really good! "Our Happiness is Guaranteed" has the exact harmony of happiness! Congrats!

[@Chentinno]

Came back to this exact place and read my 6 year old comment. Still agree with every single word. Long life to Quasi! 😎

[@killedbykato]

In almost all live performances ive seen he always keeps the keys under his knee so he can move the board with the beat. Kind of cool

[@einalteshemd]

case of no way out is timeless

[@hserokdivad]

I wish this had gone on just a few songs longer!

[@goatmilkofficial]

They have so much fun playing together. so happy they still get along!

[@barneyluttbeg638]

I come back every few months to hear the drumming on Seal the Deal

[@3340steve]

Great. Love the vibe. Janet is so rockin...

[@mattr3873]

all time duo

[@stirgy4312]

just might be the ultimate Feel-Good music.

[@rudyw.15]

♥ ♥♥♥♥ Love Quasi!!!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[@MrMotherfuck123]

She's amazing.

[@burpo]

GOD! I love their sound!

[@burpo]

@fragmentalstew, it's called a Rocksichord, essentially an electronically amped harpsichord.

[@blazepond5518]

so good so good

[@Skaterbun]

Great music, great chemistry

[@SolamenteVees]

Every time I find a terrific new band, I also find a link to that band performing on KEXP.

[@misslemon6032]

love the drums

[@TheBluridgemountains]

So freaking awesome

[@JFH52]

Saw them while visiting Portland - amazing energy - and soooo much fun!

[@kingfathand]

F ing love Quasi

[@DonaldWilliam]

Amazing!

[@QuoMinBongoes]

Hi from southern England, heard I'll See You On Mars on 6Music last year, never heard of this group before EVER! Wow! what a group! superb stuff, are they still together? would love to see them live.

[@einalteshemd]

sick... these 2 are pros..

[@MrMotherfuck123]

Best shit I heard in some time

[@nineradvocate]

Great to see Sam still at it. But it's hard to watch them, especially a song like Case of No Way Out, and not think of Elliott Smith (Quasi often toured with him, or were his backing band, or both). I do like his comment about not getting too good at playing. Most musicians who do become dreadfully boring... no joke. Overplaying to show off technical ability starts killing the songs.

[@Shoeg4zer]

When I saw ES in 2000 (Figure 8 tour) Sam was on bass.

[@gnomechonky]

I agree with everything you said, but...Janet is really, really good at playing drums.

[@sonicyouthinphants]

awesome

[@lovushkin..]

this is so fakin awesome !!!!

[@blackball842]

hell yes.

[@poetics-not-poetics]

awesome -- best thing since the donner party and ed...

[@LlonioMCTanner]

Thoughtful. Examinatory. Analytic.

[@paulrpinson]

rad

[@Silverjoo81]

The "electric organ thingy", not sure what he plays now, but he used to play this cool thing called a rocksichord, but it broke awhile back. I think current instrument emulates the sound of one

[@HesselFolkertsma]

you didn't see that part around the 4min mark? i think that's pretty awesome! :-)

[@OtseisRagnarok]

there were a few points that were... dissonant, but I assume they were intentional. They actually add to it. like how one can't know happiness without misery, one can't know harmony without dissonance.

[@mattr3873]

tension n release

[@fromthedoor]

[@Venomous9]

thanks to Megan Koester on Truthpoint for pointing me in the direction of this lot, they seem super cool!

[@casiobsceno]

does anybody know where I can download some of their albums? I've been looking for a while, but found nothing! Thankssss

[@Wimpywoo16]

Just Google

[@stellaigno4775]

This band feels like they came straight out of portlandia

[@KingPhoey]

Portlandia came straight out of this band! 🤪

[@fragmentalstew]

What is the electric organ thing?

[@alone.7994]

FragmentalStew I think it’s a Roxichord

[@elpadrino1128]

I did't know Spike Jonze was such a good keyboard player haha

[@KingPhoey]

This band gives Schroeder a run for his money.

[@jorgepacheco9845]

I didn't know janet sang.

[@pianoshizzle]

Amazon and Spotify

[@isabelmartin8427]

pianoshizzle they’re not on either one. True punks

[@jala1081]

I'm tryna find a quasi song that's dissonant

[@jala1081]

3:04 there it is

[@SiriusMogul]

Wtf is this lol

[@astralmoses]

This is just depressing.

[@urineanxiety]
