!!! (Chk Chk Chk) - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@idance4catpower]

i like this. one of my favorite pleasures in this life is hearing great music i didn’t know about before, falling in love with the makers, and then discovering the back catalogue.

[@jimspace]

literally the same here :)

[@youngtevanced8818]

It's not sell out and mainstream, but pure passion not marketing.

[@BaDAiR647]

Love this singer. Love this band. Discovered finally last year. 2012. My soul is greatful. 💖 Thank you for creating life essence through my ears.

[@RO8YO]

I used to watch Nic with his hardcore band the Yah Mos back in the 90's... He's still bringing that same level of total commitment to the music all these years later. Impressive.

[@jhefty123]

I love how they use the female singer like a lead guitar. She does all of the solos. Such a great performance!!!

[@youngtevanced8818]

I love KEXP, I am always impressed with the bands not mainstream performance, so refreshing and creative.

[@reznordlm06]

Stop KZbin and go buy a ticket . Chk chk chk are amazing live. Great experience !

[@vt1476]

this has been my go to source to explore and learn about all the great new music in the world....and wow is this refreshing! such a commitment to the music! Thank you KEXP!!!

[@raymondeliza]

I saw !!! in 2013 at Bumbershoot in Seattle. Incredible show. Nic went into the audience and danced with everyone (including me!).

[@shruggzdastr8-facedclown]

...been a huuuge fan of this band all the way back to the early 2000s ever since I was introduced to them via random suggestion by my Yahoo! Music station!!

[@Z1zero5]

Oh my, swear to goodness! Unbelievably beautiful music! I have loved !!! since discovery in ought six. Y'all rock my world. My family is well informed and my daughter is learning to dance on your music! Nic, you are hot AF, as always. Thank y'all so much for the the joy you bring. Keep it coming, love and support forever!

[@robertyoung6934]

Such a great band live. She's so hot!!! Saw them in New Zealand 20years ago. Time flies

[@milovanjelic5232]

Going to see these guys in Benidorm, Spain. Can't wait. Love it! Love it!

[@bethjk6914]

I'm glad they keep the same famale vocalist as parte of the band, i saw them in Monterrey back in 2019, people went crazy with them Even they didn't know them

[@wingoshack]

Really great vibes. Totally joyful and uplifting.

[@gavmcadam6932]

Panama Canal...utter genius! Gonna break my !!! live virginity in October, this will blow the bloody roof off!

[@ramion0]

Saw them at Treefort 2022, probably 8 years since I heard their name last, fantastic set. Their live energy was amazing, I don't feel like even this captures that, definitely worth seeing!

[@keith_gregory]

Not sure what I was expecting, but I was definitely pleasantly surprised. This is a refreshing departure from the norm! 🤘👹🤘

[@pudgedynamite]

Love !!! LOVE !!! Dream of seeing !!! Live. Thanks KEXP

[@MarcAnthem]

Chk chk chk !!! Sacramento California!!!

[@kanibaldre]

lamentablemente tu vez una pared, yo veo un puente. que gusto da escuchar que usan español. I saw them live a few years back in Vancouver. One of the best energy for a live show.

Love the show too and the presenter. Thanks!!!!

[@LukeVanGeest]

Awesome having Chk Chk Chk thanks KEXP!

[@xeverettx2564]

That is some pretty amazing fuzz tones on the guitar. Very classic which I love! So many people conflate fuzz, distortion, overdrive, gain. This first song is an excellent representation of fuzz. Distortion and gain is what your hear in metal. It kinda blends all the notes to sound like one big note whereas fuzz is very transparent and you can hear the articulation of each note even though the sound is dirty and broken up! Well done y’all, oh and that Peavey T-60 guitar on the right side......yeah fucking killer and super under appreciated line of guitars along with it’s bigger brother the T-40 bass! I reckon since Peavey is so known for their amps that they forget about some of the cool guitars they did in the 70’s and 80’s!!

[@monkeyflipper]

Sheryl Waters is a beauty.

[@squidandchips]

You know good shit is about to happen when you see her!!

[@offintonebula]

Buffalo, 2016 at Asbury Hall, saw these guys and the energy was incredible. Our friend Fran (Groove Cereal) opened for them.

[@squidandchips]

The last time I saw legs like that, they were hanging out of a nest!! Great set, guys!!

I love that they dance when they are not singing soooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@OIP_1]

oooh haven't checked these guys in a long while, great to see them!

[@habbowars1]

I saw them at corona capital 2018 and it was awesome, the people who were there will understand

[@nancylaor3674]

Great band and with mixed styles👌👌💌

[@jaylair6366]

Very cool!

[@sirlordcomic]

They dance like your drunk aunt and uncle at a wedding 8:07 and 9:22 but the musics good.

[@SinnetSongs]

Love the 1:24 "reveal" of the short shorts!

[@martialbessou6743]

génial.merci kexp from france

[@horndizz]

Cant wait to see them in December!!

[@smoot2337]

just dudes having fun. good shit

[@ursonomundoanimal]

i just wanna learn how to dance like these 2

[@1stepofe-noise311]

This style really is quite exciting...a slow intellectual build up from something seemingly grotesque, raw, ignorant, erroneous...its ingenious really...I can see a lot of potential at some points in the structure of the music, but I'm not gonna lie..."I have reason to believe at those hidden not yet in there points"...the singer could basically be rolling around on the ground screeching and bellowing (aggressively)...which is VERY...advanced...VERY...advanced...

[@johngoldsworthy7135]

It’s punk that’s why. It’s raw and great dance punk. Authentic yet brilliant

[@dopeiguana5032]

hell yeah !!! on kexp

As an old timer computer guy, I will always pronounce their name "bang bang bang".

[@ethanmoreland6433]

fantische as always, works on two levels: audio (good electronica) and visual (energetic performance)

[@bobbylewski]

[@adamgriffin3983]

Cool , loving the energy ,would be great to see them live 👍👍👍👍

[@matthewwillis4892]

How fun.

[@eternitytree625]

love these guys - "This Is Pop 2" is an interesting experiment and quite a departure for them and honestly the one weak track from the new album IMO, I think they should have opened this set with Panama Canal

[@vancemorris3288]

That shit was punk as fuck. I don’t know about the studio version but they just absolutely murdered that shit on this set
