[@CWAdventures1968]

Thank you Robert Smith for bringing me here..fantastic band

[@elijahzetina5740]

Same

[@Daniel-wp8fq]

Yup same here

[@ritatipan7624]

Lol, same. They sounded great to be the open act.

[@seymourkrelborn207]

Same ... saw them in Philly, twilight sad opened, I'm a fan now.

[@kristinav.767]

there's so much sincerity and feelings in James's voice the body language too.These guys just became one of my favourite bands from nowadays musical culture.There's something real about this band.

[@Jason_wears_stuff]

amen!!

[@megintosh]

I totally agree

[@Gemini608]

You could not have said it any better.

[@suesutton9226]

Ditto! ❤

[@ashleyCNesbitt]

As a Scottish person maybe I’m being biased to say they’re one of the best bands going.

[@bobdanger-palmer4430]

As an unbiased British person I totally agree. There have been so fucking many amazing Scottish bands in the last decade. Doesn't get any better than twilight sad ❤

[@koreypaul6698]

As an American, I agree

[@archi4226]

As a mexican, i agree

[@AnnaIsHere]

Wow, cool! I'm so lucky to run across them. Can you please tell me what he might mean by "measurable music" at 4:30?

[@jamierobinson4825]

[@Lolalovesghost]

I'm literally obsessed with this beautiful band right now. Heard for the first time last night opening for The Cure! We should know more about them here in the States!

[@TheODwyers]

I swear I must be living under a rock - or maybe it's just that music has been completely barren until I saw these guys last night opening for the Cure in Denver. It Never Was the Same was just... just transcendent. This is real music. Finally.

[@johnwhite4214]

Saw them and the Cure last night in Minneapolis. OUTSTANDING!

[@Robthewild1]

+John White yes same here. saw them last night as well. I was blown away by these guys. very nice surprise.

[@theenglishmanE]

I was in Denver that night as well "Fiddlers Green" ..... GREAT GREAT SHOW 😎

[@chemfreak53]

felt the same way in Montreal last night, pure gold.

[@nicolewashburn416]

totally agree--the answer to my poetic heart's prayers. Just discovered them last night at The Cure in Miami. Great great band

[@problemchimp4231]

Great band...every record so far is brilliant.

[@dolcedolente]

Moody, contemplative instrumentation and arguably one of the most beautiful baritone vocals to showcase in the last decade. Twilight Sad nails economic lyrical writing, too. Every aching second is a heart-tugger.

[@cla855]

Listened to this 4 times in a row now ... Absolutely stunning ....

[@altonaas]

As an American who has been a fan since 2016... cheers to the UK. I've never been but your country fucking rules in terms of music. I'm saving money and PTO at my company to come visit Cardiff, London, and Edinburgh in that order. Keep fucking rocking boys, you do it better than anyone. Love from America

[@pettysouvenir]

They proved that the real music still exists

[@farine5]

FINALLY !!! we are safe !!! from 2016 sounds :)

[@yvonnetromp9694]

Follow them since the beginning. So moving,vulnerable,deep

[@flensborg82]

This is one of the most amazing performances, by any band, ever.

[@Cureja18]

I'm so glad to see KEXP video of this one of my favorite band !!! so sad i never will see them alive...

[@OmegaMuffin1]

I thought the same way, living in a really poor city but they performed a show 8 hours away and through a lot of saving up and wishful thinking, I got to see them with my sister :). You never know what could happen in the future ;)

[@halisray]

Anna Curejasing Saw them twice. Loudest shows I've ever been to.

[@urbex_outdoors]

Have seen them in october 2022 in munich ... Just brilliant.

[@theintrospectre208]

Discovered these guys from a video game of all places back in 2006. Been top 5 favorite bands of all time ever since. I was sad to see Mark go felt like losing a family member.

[@arthurcallahan785]

What game was that?

[@koreypaul6698]

Seriously, what game?

[@koen.vandewiele]

i don't ever want to meet the people who don't like this. saw the TS in brussels years ago and can still feel their energy today.

[@brentnorman6848]

I loved these guys at the Cure in Montreal. They really rocked it! Perfect choice to open for the Cure

[@theoxbellows]

I saw them open for the Cure in Vancouver and was blown away. Didn't know anything about them before that show. Shades of Ian Curtis in some of his movements.

[@esoteric311]

My thoughts exactly. I saw them open for for The Cure in Boston on June 16, and really liked them. I said right away, Joy Division. Own their two most recent albums now.

[@krillin876]

I just the saw them with the Cure at MSG, the Monday night show. It was a great time. IT was a shame that half the crowd showd up late and didnt this bad. They have so much talent.

[@nicolewashburn416]

same here in Miami, they were awesome :)

[@unreghypercam2]

+Nicole Washburn same.

[@frank34443]

Oh goodness, this entire performance is absolutely amazing, but this performance of Leave The House is seriously on a whole other level. So good. This is why I love KEXP. Keep bringing us this awesome music guys!

[@michaelstanczak3213]

You guys rocked in Charlotte!! So many people came for the show! Keep going up!!

[@al_6229]

They need to turn that guitar up! Especially at 3:06 & 7:46

[@susansmith802]

One of the absolute best bands ever.

[@SuperZombieUnicornsss]

What a perfect band!

[@aprilp2182]

I just saw them with The Cure at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. They were fantabulous. I checked their stuff out before the show and quickly fell in love. James has this passionate spastic way on stage. He is so committed and unabashedly honest he can't hold back. It's so endearing. The best opening band for The Cure ever.

7 Years of these guys in my life!

[@Jason_wears_stuff]

top ten favorite bands of all time!! they just sound magical constant goose bumps every time i listen to them.

[@inesdevienne4179]

how can u not love this seriously

[@mikeseal2266]

I saw these guys in Boston in like 2008 when they had like one album and I loved it. Glad to see they're still making music and they've evolved on top of it. Very cool.

[@Tlfdt]

You're not coming back You're not coming back from this She's not coming back She's not coming back from this There's a girl in the corner and she's crying for you Gonna die for you She's not coming back She's not coming back from this We're not coming back We're not coming back again You said you'd leave me and I won't forget I'm holding on and I'll see how far You thought you loved but you'll just forget You're holding on but not too far You're not coming back We're not coming back from this To all the boys you know They don't belong outside, outside, outside She's not coming back She's not coming back again You said you failed You dare not You said you failed You dare not You sold me You saved me You saved You sold me You saved me You saved She's not coming back She's not coming back from this She's not coming back She's not coming back from this

[@sylviaborgo]

One of my very favorite bands at the moment and for some time to come, for sure. Sadly, the enormous wall of sound that is usually conveyed in their music is missing here b/c of the poor recording. Well, I'm glad that James' voice is just perfect and wonderful and recorded cleanly. Love these guys!

[@mootame9430]

Yeah need more guitar sound

[@nellyhilaire9176]

Merci The Cure de m'avoir fait découvrir ce groupe !

[@changelingman9687]

who else went to the Cure and saw this opening band in person?

[@farine5]

me...

[@andiem8163]

Dragon King oh my god, yes. i was so impressed when they opened for them, i was like "damn, these guys have talent." They were a very pleasant surprise.

[@naiamermaid9600]

me too :)

[@thecurefan1]

Tithe cure always with surprises. I first saw Interpol w/ Them! amazing band, this is like the Scottish Interpol.

[@Robertchu]

this voice and this music, just addictive!!!

[@joecamel4006]

I've seen these guys twice in Seattle last year, i love them!

[@rafaeljimenez9116]

Really cool guys ! Very well done! Melancholic and sincerity at stage..

[@fer444441]

finally i´m seeing this guys live with good sound one of my favourite bands thanks from oporto

[@lord-dark-coffee]

So glad you will be supporting the Cure again. I think Robert Smith approves ;-)

[@Darko769.]

Saw these guys last night in Maryland and they opened for the cure.. they were a pretty solid opening act and the music was perfect for setting up the atmosphere for the cure.. yeah it was a really good show :)

[@TheUnQuake]

same liked twilight more than the cure

[@miguelbragacampos]

I really have no words, kind of 80´s with very nice atmosphere.

[@oraulnunes]

This is brilliant

[@KingRhinoBudapest]

...... Simply amazing band.... I cannot believe I am just discovering them....

[@Soundofsilver2007]

The drummer is incredible on ‘Last January’.

[@DeftonesFan1982]

This band is amazing

[@micheltibon8872]

I have seen them perform last month March in the Paradiso, Amsterdam. (de Kleine zaal max. 500 persons). That same evening I bought a ticket for their performance in the EKKO Utrecht, Netherlands (max 500 persons).They deserve much bigger venues in my opinion. I think next year we will see them in the bigger venues in the Netherlands. Together with Frightened Rabbits they are one of those underrated Scottish bands,

[@DarkenTheMemory]

this is just...incredible

[@BuckarooSamurai]

They need to come back to the US soon. So amazing live this video does them no justice.

[@JayGorham]

great performance!

[@lagapieroful]

nothing more than the feeling i'm in to right now!

[@TheWardBond]

Just discovered them, mind-blown.

[@turnagec]

Fantastic songs!

[@lagapieroful]

i love so much the guitar sound

[@Ulfric1976]

just saw these Guys at the Cure concert! I'm a new fan

[@carlohabets2112]

My FeveRit Singer 3>. I'll go and watch them at 18. nov. 2108 in The Botanique in Brussels, together with my love and my son who turns 18 that day.

[@marieljoed]

Wow! what a great band! i just saw and heard of them for the first time as the opening band for the cure! now after they get done touring with the cure they will have a super fan base in the states so they can tour the usa as the head liner band! make sure you guys stop in philly to play!

[@fer444441]

great guitar sound great accent and lyrics

[@mets4uadam901]

Love song!

[@emzet4633]

Słucham..słucham..słucham..może kiedyś na żywo..MARZENIE.

[@ponkochan1230]

OMG!!! Another reason to be eternally grateful to Robert Smith and The Cure......if not for his cover of Twilight Sad's TAGITC......I might not have listened to their music. Wow! What a pleasure this is. Thanks for the upload. XD

[@ponkochan1230]

Also meant to add that I absolutely love 'Dead City'......check it out if you haven't heard it. Brilliant!

[@bonniefuentes1639]

amazing band .. great opening for the cure in Miami ❤ very humble guy and you can tell he gets lost in the melody, his dance and the way he kept looking up the sky.

[@zulphur]

This band is great :-)

[@Ripley93]

Saw 'em supporting Editors back in 2015 I think. Hooked since then. Fantastic (live-)band!

[@syrandipity]

Can't wait to see them in Glasgow next year (hopefully) after the pandemic is under control.

[@communitiescreate]

Excited to see them open up for The Cure, but would love to have them solo too! Come to the east coast Twilight Sad, would love to see a full set!

[@communitiescreate]

Specifically, come to NYC!

[@charmicarmicat2981]

This fucking band is so perfect.

[@agent9973]

loving them

[@cheycheyrocks13]

Just starting listening since they will be opening for the Cure in Philly ..wow his voice like a Irish Depeche Mode love it

[@TheLastCrusader22]

You do realise he's Scottish and not Irish right?

[@miroslavlaho8631]

the main reason, that the guitar and the bass is kinda muted is probably that the KEXP (or someone else) recorded/uploaded just the mix going into PA system, which lacks the instruments played loudly on the stage (guitar and bass of course versus keys, you can hear keys clearly). I visited gig in Vienna and I can tell you, guitar and the bass were pushing from amps so loudly, you dont need it mixed in PA so much. just to mix them together to whole stage sound. with keys louder it sounds sometimes kinda ,,Cure-ish", I like that.

[@MrJustinShields]

Saw them last night at the Troubadour and the guitar was mixed very similar. Mostly background static sound on many songs. I can hear the bass just fine in this video.

[@Yvonne-pk4ec]

they were excellent, beautifull voice! He reminds me of Ian Curtis(Joydivision) with his crazy moves!

[@darkesttube]

and he is even better

[@anibaldacunha1338]

J suis fan de cette bande magnifique ❤

[@anapipagp]

Amazing! ❤

[@jeniferfarid2623]

It's only the best for The Cure Twilight Sad was phonomenal in Atlanta love this track so much☆

[@amberwilliams5541]

i'm in love

[@tiffanysheppard5594]

Awesome 💕💕💕💕

[@EdyeLautter]

still rockin'

[@maisa5218]

ohhhh divine

[@Chasewillis820]

refreshingly devoid of pretension. How a band such as Iceage gets better press than The Twilight Sad is beyond me.

[@Thelonerangersmate]

Wow Just Wow

[@GiliOhayon]

Our own Ian Curtis

[@farine5]

no.... when I saw them, i said to myself, how funny, it's a mix between, Ian Curtis, The Cure and Morrissey .... I stay astonished for 35 minutes ! he seams so shy, Love them !

[@JebusGabriel]

No

[@OlibernalOlibernal]

Buenísimos!!!

[@TheNaplesBuckeye]

Saw them in Miami last night. Fantastic. Lots of great Indy bands as always from UK. Scotland is doing work. Frightened Rabbit is great as well.

[@cmhcmh8834]

sounds really good. Cant wait till tomorrow to see them with the The Cure!!!!!!!!!

[@34cellardoor]

Can't wait till June 11th Chicago. Cheers!!!

[@marceloceu8432]

Profundo!!!

[@albertcode2882]

Super!

[@Sander-jx5hm]

I'm happy that I could see them live in Utrecht(NL), they were intense and euphoric and would love to see them live again. Sadly this performance does not have that vibe.

[@JosephGallagher]

Andy's guitar is suffering so much on this performance

[@piadox]

Makes the whole thing sadly not worth watching. A shame, really. :-/

[@KFreders]

JosephGallagher not really the best vocal performance either :/ session as a whole not the best

[@mattaki]

+JosephGallagher he is really a great guitar player.

[@victoriagarcia8456]

Los acabo de ver hoy abriendo el concierto de The Cure en Hollywood. Son muy buenos. Me gustó mucho la voz de James Graham, es desgarradora.

[@leolou33]

un gros gros kiff

[@joshuavarughese5403]

beautiful i love it

[@conorloughnane7234]

seems to me like the sound was recorded via a H4 or similar via line input however the recording device was placed on a mixer output that gave the raw input of the mixer out. Not the mixed sound.

[@MaX-uy2eu]

Poezja dla ucha :)

[@DavidGutierrez-wk2hz]

Simplemente es perfecto

[@clijeron1973]

Great music, can't wait to see them with The Cure @ the MSG this Summer 2016 !!!!

[@RT-bt5ql]

Saw them with the cure, very good band

[@Johnathansyt]

I'll be seeing this band opening for the greatest band there ever was, The Cure. Will no doubt be a great show.

[@miguelbragacampos]

+Johnathan Richards I have no doubt. The Cure whit this guys, great shoow, I will go for them in November in Portugal.

[@JH-jh6bd]

i am gonna die when i see these guys AND the greatest band indeed, the cure!!!!!

[@miguelbragacampos]

I don´t have to die, just enjoy my friend.

[@kallekarlsen3973]

Live ist die Band echt spitze! 😁😉 Bei einem The Cure Konzert das erste Mal gehört.

I really loved their performance ♡ btw What shoes are those ??

[@hannahkat7360]

Ethereal 💫

[@BaconAmp]

Very frustrating that the sound is horribly off. Great performance that is marred by the engineering...

[@SmokeandSteam]

Exactly. The mixing is terrible. Guitar and bass lost and the synth too dominating

[@hiqwertyhi]

It was mixed for the room, Andy's amp would be really loud (they're a bit notorious for that) so none of him, and of course tons of keys and vocals cause otherwise they couldn't be heard at all. Still a complete oversight to not record the tracks individually and re-mix in post. Really is frustrating, there isn't anything better so we're stuck with this
