Maps & Atlases - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@FREELORDMEATS]

drummer's timing is impeccable. seems like these dudes have awesome chemistry

[@adrianoa.j.5788]

What a fantastic band!! the guy's voice, the drum parts, and the bass and guitar work complementing each other, it's a unique sound, to say the least!

[@BamThwok76]

I have never been so utterly and immediately floored by a band. Why am I just hearing this now? Come to Toronto!

[@lukeblanton455]

I have watched this video at least six times. I truly enjoy this band.

[@fishandhooktv3795]

Same Here.

[@misternatureboy]

Brilliant! I wanna hug them and everybody who loves their music!

[@PeterChiykowski]

Incredible performance. I keep hearing "No more remote in dog years" and it makes me like the song even more.

[@Behemiathan]

This drummer is insanely good!

[@ArareFISH]

meh

[@salberini]

***** hope that's sarcastic.

[@xareco1982]

Amen !

[@MinusTheTbird]

The singer/guitarist is way more talented

[@antimilklogan]

He has an interesting voice; it sets them apart and he has ridiculously good control of it.

[@nallah.mystique]

Saw them in concert and it is no understatement that they are underrated. They sound identical live, that's true music.

[@charlieweinmann8987]

Saw these guys like five years ago...still amazed. Still getting more and more cool!

[@TheAndroidlegsforall]

I love this drummer. One of my favorite!

[@MichaelSaunier]

This band is pretty damn superb. Can't believe I'm just hearing them now

[@CheesedBurgers]

I shook his hand last night. Not only is he a beast on the bass, but he also seems like a really chill guy. Such a boss.

[@BamItsAmber0]

I'm not quite sure how this band aren't more widely known, they're just spectacular.

[@weekendbox385]

It always a brings me back the memories i was tripping same time hitting the road through those glitters signs of traffic

[@sickfitjaw]

I am so glad that I stumbled upon this! These guys have tremendous talent!

[@blunote47]

Wow, again I say Wow, I'm just blown away by the guitar work these guys display. Definitely going onto the ipod, both CD's.

[@owlsley5]

Really wanted to see them play Pigeon. Pretty good stuff all around.

[@matthewbritt8498]

That first ep is perfection. A true masterpiece in my book. After the first full length ... just can’t get into any of their stuff wish I could

[@TheSsd8]

Dig the music, do't know how I haven't heard these guys sooner

[@liamdonnelly3689]

That drummer is fantastic.

[@davidjoachims]

Amazing drumming & guitars. This is awesome

[@rcavemusic2o]

miss this band! great guys!

[@MrDerpySquid]

Dave Davison the most beautiful man who ever lived

[@melom806]

Woah they are so amezing. I cant remember the last time if any I fell in love with a band in the first 30seconds...

[@MrSergiofoca]

Those guys are just great, sick guitars

[@replattus]

These guys are insane, such nice tunes

[@zags9128]

Excellent!

[@ReversedTwice]

You guys are good. Keep up the great music.

[@ogenmatic]

Lots of innovation and some great drumming!

[@dmdanimal]

The best since the very best.

[@KanaNakaMoo]

the drummer is an artist!

[@sensible68]

sublime, thanks kexp.

[@TheAndroidlegsforall]

Hes not really showing off his chops here but if you check out their first two albums the drummer is amazing. He's not just keeping a beat, he really adds a unique depth to the songs.

[@MSteinMusic]

thanks a lot

[@hypocriteorchestra]

I'm sorry I missed them live....

[@xareco1982]

Great song, very original!

[@sethfafa]

man I need to see this band live

[@justforever96]

Check out Chloe, the drummer from Chaos Chaos. She has a very similar style, some call it "chaotic". I've heard the two compared before, and I know they list Maps and Atlases as one of their big influences. They've been recording albums and playing shows since they were in elementary school, but are really coming into it now. Awesome girls. Anyway, I swear she's one of the best drummers I've ever heard, and she's still only 18.

[@CornellVeasey]

amazing bass

[@vicegirlsusa]

I had the privilege of seeing them live in, like, 2005, in my shitty little hometown of Cookeville, TN. My first real taste of math rock that got me hooked.

[@donny7084]

so awsome !!!!!

[@ianoid]

Jay from Tridge gave me a green Maps and Atlases shirt with an owl on it that is awesome. The band lives up to the shirt. So much going on with their music. I'll be looking out for them. And wearing that shirt.

[@bakintoast]

Pretty much the reason I got into this band.

[@diner59]

Damn, I dig their sound.

[@cjone138]

Amazing drummer

[@Babylandia]

"Flying Finger Band... With the Killer Drummer"

[@donny7084]

best music ever !!!!!

[@KanaNakaMoo]

Totally! Love em. I loved their version of Closer that they did on KEXP. Took on a whole other scene and meaning for me. a more intimate and mature version than Tegan & Sara's, which I felt lent itself to the lyrics much better, at least for me. :) And they finally put them on Spotify.YAY!!! You're right about Chloe too. Must have been a prodigy, no? Their musical talents are so mature and vast for such young ones.

[@kligonking]

holy smokes.. that drummer, hell all of them, are the shiznit

[@doctorbrinker]

Everyone should check out their earlier stuff. They used to seriously rock out. They're some really talented guitarists.

[@laurooobang]

Dude.. They are so fucking humble and talented. It's rediculous.

[@neerbronoc]

I wish they were as math rock-y as their first EP, but I still love these dudes. HELLA talented.

[@redstarbeuvry]

great !

[@Redled_Original]

Yes!

[@Umbrellas0]

You guys all need to listen to their EPs "Tree, Swallows, Houses" and "You and Me and the Mountain."

[@annalimax93]

Love this! (the music aswell as the beard ;))

[@quezlark7875]

oh how i miss the trees, swallows, houses days....seems like a completely different band

[@akawumpus]

the sound is different, I'll give you that, but by no means is this album not a good one.

[@HeavyProfessor]

Anthony Dominguez Yes, but it’s like they did become a completely different band. The first couple things they put out are still complete treasures, though.

[@pfree9016]

It's not just the albums either. The live shows are so different. In the early days I saw them completely own rooms and make so many drop their jaws. No it's like zzz...zzz...

[@bakintoast]

I concur, their debut album is what I got into first, which has almost a totally different feel from the rest of their music.

[@TheGhostPack]

They where playing at millenium park in Chicago in Aug I didn't know their name but they are good as fuck so I asked someone and they told me they are good as hell live

[@Drijen]

That intro drum pattern on Silver Self makes me smile and bounce every time.

[@laurenbingham3919]

[@der7574]

I think the one you're referring to is the POG2.

[@xxjerzyrecordsxx]

These guys might be the nicest, most appreciative band I've ever seen featured. Of course, with Cheryl interviewing, you'd have to be a real jerk not to be nice.

[@FREELORDMEATS]

i love how @8:25 the front man says thank you out of instinct as if there's a big ol crowd in the studio hahaha. its apparent these fellas like playin with each other in a weird, non prison love sort of way

[@ravenwav]

Damn, that bassist is a stud.

[@justforever96]

Where does KEXP get their funding from to be able to hire such good, and so many, camera operators and sound guys. They always get it right, and they obviously have numerous cameras set up to film different views of all the players, close ups of the instruments, etc. Or is that robotic? Still sounds expensive, and the sound guys are just the best. Not that I'm an expert, but that's what I've heard it said, and it does always sound almost like a studio performance.

[@hA-to7kt]

cool.

[@WillingCharm]

I wanna hear them talk. Where is it?!

[@R0b1zzle137]

Can anyone tell me the stompbox/ pedal that Dave Davison is using? I can hardly get a glimpse

[@SuperCharpo]

oooo siii!!! :)

[@neerbronoc]

Dave's headphones were on backwards.

[@jucdsw]

totally.

[@McMatthew23]

What was that thing Erin using during Fever?

[@f.a3064]

i am a massive batty boy!

[@musiqman203]

Like minus they went for a more mature sound. But they're new sound I actually like over minus'. Took me a min but i actually love it now.

[@yvranx]

Cat Stevens also calls for the public burning of authors who disagree with him (BBC Hypotheticals, 1989)

[@zrobertez]

1:43 and 17:21 what's he got next to the pog?

[@CatBurger18]

list of the song? plss?

[@justforever96]

Damn straight. Santa, Jesus, and Abraham Lincoln can't all be wrong. Beards are the next big thing. Again. It's been awhile; I think the Civil War was the last time they were really IN on a large scale.

[@CornellVeasey]

Shiraz is under rated, dude is sick on the fat strings.

[@xperrosinsangrex]

Why would you need that? You can see big bold letters with the name of the song at the beginning of each..

[@anotheradict]

'flying finger band with the killer drummer..'

[@bakintoast]

I think it's based on when the comment was made, his was ten months ago with 50 likes, whereas the other has 17 and was 3 months ago. If we acted like the comment progressed at the same rate for another 7 months, it would be about 57 or so likes. It probably takes into account how many replies a comment has gotten. Or not, I could be talking out of my ass, I don't how KZbin is programmed.

[@pumathurman]

bleeeh they're not mathy anymore buh buh buhhh their first EP their first EP their first EP BEEHHH i want tappy tap

[@kevincuzzourt]

That they are good should be no surprise. Judging by the beard that guy is clearly a wizard.

[@un-enlightened]

how do you ever login into youtube away from your computer? hahhaha =) crazy username.

[@JohnnyAnayaNTP]

HOLY shit, their guitarrist is a robot?

[@CatBurger18]

Sorry didn't see it.

[@melmes03]

They sound nothing like vampire weekend. Aside from the song Silver Self

[@Beeray11]

You tell 'em, Brown Bear. Also, Dave Davison's voice is unique and awesome. I don't know what you fools are talking about. Not ever singer out there has to be a young emo guy that tries too hard. What's wrong with character or identity?

[@SuburbValues]

So, what you're trying to say is that you have made an attempt to find new bands due to looks alone? I believe the first step that you need to take is one to find a true appreciation for MUSIC, and by music I mean the actual music.

[@ruthsixtysix1690]

I remodel dark views...?

[@mitchellpalermo]

these dudes sound just like vampire weekends. except for the lead singer.

[@drummerthekid12]

Holy beard, batman

[@AustinLoweBorne]

It grows on you, haha. I started out the same way.. But it's good in it's own weird fucking way. xD

[@musiqman203]

No they do not sound anything like vampire weekend.

[@frjther5yy76u7u6567u]

I miss their math rocky type stuff.

[@Logicfray]

I like everything I hear except the singers voice in this band.

[@DaShaiShai]

Ebow
