Everyone in this band looks like a different fred armison character and I love it

[@starchamberlain]

OMG! You’re so right!! 😂😂😂

[@model_number_band]

So you suggesting that they are not all Fred Armison? hmmmmm.... have to rethink this.

[@jake_dumb]

@@model_number_band I think you’re overthinking it lol

[@andyobrien8504]

Whenever i see them, i have the same reaction haha

[@tribulationsofawastedsociety]

i have some dark indierock platlists and tracks in mi chann3l , don't miss it , those are the best selections 🔥💎

[@evelynhagan2532]

It's wild seeing Andrew Savage perform live. He just goes 10x harder than he ever does on the album versions of the songs. I saw them perform in March and his voice has just such immense power.

[@jeremyrellosa2250]

Totally agree with this-I saw them for the first time in April and was blown away by his energy! They were so great live.

[@zachhocking9053]

SAVAGE IS MY NAME BECAUSE SAVAGE IS HOW I FEEL!!!

[@johnnyjava88]

Damn, I was supposed to see him a few months ago but the show was cancelled. Luckily I've seen Parquet Courts before but this Savage show would have been in a tiny venue.

[@CurbBlurbs]

I just actually discovered this ….. and I love his voice live much much better

[@CurbBlurbs]

The proof is here

[@mikadoescontent]

props to kexp's sound engineers for making every single performance sound phenomenal

[@berniefixe]

I don't know why but I just love the vocalist's voice, it gives me nostalgia and it fits perfectly with the instrumental

[@walshwalsh6828]

Maybe because they remind you of the band Pavement?

I like how they have this old school garage rock and roll kind of sound buried deep in their style 🐰🖤

[@alfianbanjaransari4096]

Oh it's there alright

[@jackknowles5295]

Listen to light up gold! It's basically straight garage punk and shows how they've built to get here, fucking killer record too honestly Homo Sapien sounds like a song they wrote in that era

[@zachhocking9053]

@@jackknowles5295 came here to say this, but you beat me to it. those first few songs they reel off take me back to 90's punk shows... but better than any band I had the pleasure of seeing.

[@xAngelsOfHellx]

buried deep? it's like front and center imo lol

Old school garage rock is on the sleeve mate.

Great musical evolution watching this band from the beginning to see where they are now ,they have come really far in their songwriting 👍🏻👍🏻😎🎸💪🏻🖖🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anyone else see this video come up, listen to it and then have to go back to old sessions too? If you dig this at all, would recommend checking out their performance of "One Man, No City"

Love the mix of energy and instrumental harmony they bring, layered perfectly with the vocals and lyrics. I feel I can always pick up something new listening to their tunes.

[@kafifa]

They look like they are still having a great time playing together. Love it.

[@caner78bob]

it's like everytime a kexp live performance is recommended to me, which is far and few between, I instantly get hooked onto the music. cheers guys

[@elliotbell959]

The opening track, watching strangers smile (a single) is off the charts. How this didn’t make the album I’ll never know. SO FUCKING GOOD. Very good :)

Why do the vocals sound like they are hella far from the mics when, for the most part, they ain't? Otherwise the mix is great!

[@Megamando93]

Mix is definitely weird for vocals. First song sounded like he was on the other side of a tunnel lol

[@devonc42]

I feel like the amount of energy he has to put into the vocals would generally come out loud af but withouth that energy its a completely diff song. Idk im for sure clueless in regards to that side of things. It sounds pretty spot on to their studio recordings but for sure an odd mix sounds killer to my ear holes. Really regretting missing their recent asheville show

[@wren_stone]

Anyone know what keyboard Andrew is playing in 'Watching Strangers Smile'? Thanks!

[@ManuelSanchez-jt9wj]

The social and political commentary in Wide Awake could have been followed up with a ground-breaking record. The universe practically spoon-fed Parquet Courts large quantities of ammo from 2018-2020 for what could have been an ICONIC record to follow up Wide Awake. Sympathy for Life is a missed opportunity. I still believe Parquet Courts is the best band to start in the 2010s. Somebody needs to make these boys millionaires many times over.

[@hauserm95]

[@RagsYooTube]

Love both Parquet Courts and KEXP. They know a lot more than me about many things, especially music. But talking about Screamadelica as major inspiration without mentioning Andrew Weatherall seems a little negligent. He brought his own tracks and fitted Primal Scream work around it. It's completely his sound!
