Amyl and The Sniffers - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

MTV in the 90's wasn't a good thing. KEXP is more like the Peel Sessions from 70's 80's, but unlike Peel, there's very little opinion shared by the host/hostess, which is a good thing. IMO ;)

I have said the same thing for years, the best advice you could give to a new band these days would be, get yourself into the KEXP studio, it's probably the best way to record your music, in the best sounding way possible.

Was on the doc film team when they supported Greenday at the millennium. Just about to go into the pit to check a few things and Amy came up behind me , I turned around and she had the biggest beaming smile on her face , I was in her way , a quick "cheers mate " and I made way . She went on and absolutely killed it . Cant even start to explain her energy , like mentos and cola nuclear grade AAA+ hectic. Punk rock is alive and well in this band and Amy as pure as at its source .

You can really tell that Cheryl genuinely likes the music. Music in general. She’s such a treasure. Comfortable presenting and interviewing performers of all sorts of genres. Quickly disarming and putting at ease even the most necessarily eccentric tough while fragile , artistic souls.
