Sleigh Bells - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@ManyLegs]

This channel is doing what MTV did back in the day. Thanks for opening doors and connecting people

[@floydknip6943]

literally no need for spotify when you can just sub to KEXP instead

[@aLiquidReality]

I discovered Portugal the Man, Alt-J, Deltron 3030, Grimes, Phantogram, Dan Deacon, CHVRCHES and so many more thanks to this station. For ALL of those bands, I like the KEXP performance better than the album version! Adding Sleigh Bells to the list. THAANKS KEXP!!!!!

[@christophermills3960]

MTV used to "Play Music".

[@davelanciani-dimaensionx]

@@christophermills3960 Wait, MTV used to play music? When was this? Yeah, I know, believe me I was there back in 1981, and I wish MTV and VH1 would go back to actual music shows. KEXP has the right idea.

[@richardbaumgart2454]

but not really comparable

[@ThePequenocristo]

The sound team at KEXP is out of this world. The mix here is amazing.

[@diamondbracelette]

Yas we know. The mixes are so “great,” better than the “studio mix,” out of this “world”; bands featured here are so “groovy, snazzy, boogalicious” ; oh and my favorite: the camera lens produces the most perfectly sculpted, jag free “bokeh balls” in the biz. Yada yada. We get it already fuk

[@massimotazzioli9415]

Super! The Sound Team at KEXP is incredible. Super!

[@Lanearndt]

pretty sure these guys are playing to tracks. Plus those are drum triggers triggering samples, not the real drums in the room.

[@gochuckyourself1892]

I wish they would release these on Spotify or Album format sometimes.

[@stereofidelic67]

you can bet the studio mix is totally quantised, squashed and limited.

Amazing performance. Also, shout out to Cheryl. She's like the nice mom that lets all the cool bands stay at her house when they come through town.

[@industrialcraft6736]

And she keeps the music going without interrupting!

[@blackcurtainzmedia]

Derek’s tone is always so killer. World class musician.

Thank you

[@kirstena9994]

God damn I love this band. They're one of the bands for me (everyone has their own list) that I can't even put into words how much their music means to me. This tour was so great, N3ptune was absolutely life changing. What a privilege to have been there. ❤️

[@lightbright4996]

OMG am I the only one who really think this live setting makes the songs a thoudsand times better than on the actual album! that's killer!

[@НикМишнев]

The SWEET75 sounds really better in live)

[@rkstreeter]

I find most bands who play here sound better than their studio version

[@lightbright4996]

so true!

[@punkcuck]

This last time they came on tour, they played with this full band and it was unlike anything they’ve done before. So refreshing hearing more oomf to their discography

[@matthewjames206]

Once again, KEXP's sound engineers have blown me away. Sleigh Bells sounded amazing👏👏👍👍

[@rkstreeter]

Kevin Suggs is the man!

[@robertst.charles265]

Absolutely beautiful sounds blended with Alexis' amazing voice!

[@j_holtslander]

God nothing really drives home how talented someone is like watching them perform live.

[@davesniad]

This is a killer performance. Much respect to the audio team behind this and the awesome camera operators. Sleigh Bells rocks, they continue to make great records. I love what the live drums do for these songs. Well done!

[@koshkodavski]

Today i’m listening “Texis” first time and live session much more better, imho. So live drums make magic as you said))

[@Reign_In_Blood_963]

Never heard of Sleigh Bells... now I can't unhear them. Thanks to KEXP for introducing me to this awesome band.

[@StarLightNow]

The greatest band in the world. No one can compare to Sleigh Bells. So much love for them and so much love for KEXP for having them on the show :) Thank you.

[@karolkaminski7782]

These vocals are actually better than the album recording. Great stuff!

[@JCGaal]

damn i thought so too

[@aLiquidReality]

@@BubblePuppy. I also prefer KEXP versions of songs to the original.

[@nicholasn.2883]

@@BubblePuppy. but lossless tho

[@RodrigoSilva-tp9ux]

@@BubblePuppy. Buying the album is a way to help the artist, I believe that if you like something, it's your duty to support it financially.

[@pcp8989]

@Rodrigo Silva Unless the artist owns the label, and the distributor, buying the album does next to nothing. Buying tour tickets and merchandise is marginal, too Send cash to the artist directly.

[@peterrozing9352]

Her vocals are so beautiful here!

[@wesebeling]

I have somehow not heard Sleigh Bells before. Watched every second of this performance like I was a long time fan who was really there. Wow

[@DahakaMatthew]

I love it when music does that. This isn't really my go to kind of music, but it just sounded so good, and the band seems like so much fun.

[@SteveJ0966]

Can't get over how good this session is. The performance is transcendental, the production just nails it. What a time to be alive.

[@montycontrite9178]

Cheryl Waters AND Sleigh Bells in the same room, what a great day! Thank you KEXP!

[@djaxupjazz]

feels like they invent some type of new music style. I love everything about it! The drumming, the super phat guitar riffs, the synth sounds (!) and of course the energetic/charismatic singing from both singers. So good!

[@dicko195]

noise pop is what they called it when they came out a few years back

[@PxNxWxGxW]

Never heard of this band but my word are these songs great. Her singing is soul melting.

[@j_holtslander]

Check out their first two albums they're amazing.

[@anthonykiedis1765]

And Saints gives me goosebumps every single time I hear it.

[@Flip-a-dip-dip]

Sleigh bells is such a kick ass band. Treats has to be one of my favorite records of all time

[@slug_girl_1995]

as always, sleigh bells make me feel like my heart is wearing a jetpack made of rock and roll. awesome performance, cannot wait to see them in february 🙏🖤

[@jimgravesus]

I've seen them live four times. They deliver every single time. Amazing live show. Great music.

[@darinpaterson4403]

This performance is so incredible, got me back into SB, loved their first couple of albums, the clipped drums etc. Their musical talent has evolved so much, amazing group!

[@charlielenk1677]

My first time hearing them and Sweet 75 was a true HOLY FUCKING SHIT moment.

[@anonymoususer6759]

Shout out to the team who does the sound on KEXP. Amazing.

[@evadelreal1727]

The drum guy is bad ass!,, 🥁👍🏻💯❤️

[@MrSponjaBob]

I like the sound more in the performance than in the album, especially the song Sweet75 the guitar is heard in a very special way and together with the drums it is INSANE!! I love it!!

[@Reign_In_Blood_963]

I noticed that too. That live mix is prefect.

[@smartdatacontinuum]

Not sure if i am more in love when she sings or when she talks

[@lenonel3286]

that first song absolutely blew me away, can't believe i've never heard of em

[@chadoistad]

Those drums. They're all talented and it doesn't work as well with any part missing, but this is one of those cases where the percussion really brings it together. Awesome performance all around.

[@Thechadwebb]

That is some of the most basic drumming I have ever seen.Nothing wrong with that, usually the sign of a good drummer is not overdoing it but trying to compliment the music. Not a bad drummer by any means but there is not one thing impressive that he is doing. He actually looks lie he is not even enjoying himself. haha. My comment does come across as shitty but I am honestly curious what stands out about the drums?

[@thecircledk8597]

@@Thechadwebb Well he is just repeating the record which was a drum machine so... doing his best I guess to sound as close to that as well as live without sounding completely different ?

[@yadig9227]

Chris Maggio. Dude slays.

[@ardiel3090]

@@Thechadwebb Check out the other bands of the drummer and you will see why he is not enjoying: Trap Them, High on fire, Mutoid man, Coliseum.

[@paulperkins1615]

@@Thechadwebb I hear a lot of electronic drum machine percussion along with what the drummer is playing. I'm guessing the drummer is concentrating on not clashing with the drum machine.

So good I've watched over and over. Band is amazing all around, drummer kills it and KEXP sound and Cheryl are the best . Thank you!!

[@mvn17997]

On more than one occasion now did I discover a band like this one. With one caveat, the albums cannot compete with the KEXP live session. This is so damn good!

I can say without any doubt that if it's Sheryl hosting I'm going to like it. A lot!

[@superpuntar]

Why only three songs? Damn.. perfect sound production, perfect set-up.. I wish I could listen to this for hours.. great, just great! I hope I get a chance to see this band live. Please do a Europe tour as soon as possible!

[@deandrake2723]

It's been awhile that I found a KEXP set a joy to watch. This is one of those moments.

[@Stryder157]

Saw this band when it was just 2 of them in a small venue in Boston. They've come a long way! Love it!

[@DarkPriestessJae]

Same here! (In NC) Even in 2012 they were amazingly powerful and honestly what I called “a band photographer’s wet dream.” 😂 So awesome live!

Bourdain repped them years ago and I gave them a shot based on that. Their music did the rest. What a wonderful sound.

[@matt32591]

one of their touring guitarists have Bourdain a sun tattoo on his wrist, that is fucking awesome

[@SquareNoggin]

Bourdain, as in Anthony Bourdain the chef? I never knew much of his work, but I keep seeing people mention how he was in to and would rep this or that awesome thing, idea, people - whatever. Seems like the man had good taste.

I've seen that at shows a bunch of times... ALWAYS Sooooo nice signing autographs for EVERYONE taking photos. And thought this would cange Post COVID at the Treats 10th anniversary in NYC... They both signed my new Treats picture disc even in these scary times! Shout out to Roger at Purchase Street Record Store New Bedford Massachusetts for the awesome rare find! Call him ask if he does mail order LoL.

While I don't really care for this type of electronica with a heavy downbeat, I give them loads of credit for coming up with a lot of cool musical ideas. I may not want to listen to it, but I can certainly appreciate what they're doing. Special kudos to the drummer, who's really locked in - cause of course he has to be. KEXP is still the best.

[@Semiotichazey]

I enjoy them more than you, but I respect your respect. And I 100% agree with you about the drummer.

[@gregorywaxin7116]

Entraînant et envoûtant ! Une belle découverte 🤘 merci KEXP pour le choix des artistes et des enregistrements sur vos plateaux live ! 🤩

[@Afterthoughts2025]

I believe too, and it's not just the glitter top and the dramatic music. Very talented group and it could be awesome with even more fast paced grinding stuff with stellar female vocals, but also less teenage and maybe more country, rock retro in many forms, with the Derick chords and riffs. The keyboardist and support volcalist and drummer are superior to boot, awesome musicians. Everyone have a great and creative week!

[@50ShadesOfEndo]

Sweet 75 is one of the best songs of the year
