Kishi Bashi "Atticus in the Desert" - Live from the Pandora House at SXSW

[@deserthighways4095]

This is highly innovative music, unlike anything I've heard previously, and yet still is very listenable. It doesn't really fit into any genre which is somewhat remarkable in itself. I've listened only once, but it strikes me as music that one could listen to repeatedly and not tire of it.

[@steveng6704]

They transcend genre

[@isaacheard4202]

It’s orchestral art pop I think

[@Ruffhouse789]

That is the coolest thing I've ever seen done with a banjo

[@samuelcoward4613]

You should see him play it with a toy laser gun.

[@AntonioGarcia-zr9uc]

Aparentely some times he puts it on the floor and squats down and plays it using his testicles.

[@Fjolde]

Haven't been able to stop listening to Kishi Bashi then this comes along and I'm afraid I won't listen to any artist ever again.

[@tuttylevano7017]

+eddie thomas hahaha ikr! over obsessed :3

[@laltanpouis]

omg.this is EXACTLY how i feel!!!

[@getoffthisplanet]

You are a treasure, Kishi. Thank you for your music.

[@CMCustom112]

This got Awesome real quick.

[@tuttylevano7017]

I can't help being obsessed with Kishi Bashi. Oh gosh, amazing music!! pure art ♥ Love him!

[@joaquinclemens6698]

I LOVE THIS. It’s so different. It’s whistful but not depressing like everything mainstream. I absolutely love it. Inspires me to pick up my violin once again!

[@loganray5091]

Voice so smooooooth

[@ambry99]

I saw Mike and his space banjo at a festival in my home state once. It led me to find his music online which in turn brought me to Kishi Bashi. I love these guys and their music so much. Always puts me in a better mood. :)

[@TheoTheo]

That reverb/delay on the violon... Wonderful !

[@KodenameKrusty]

Not what I was expecting and glad it wasn't . Awesome

[@SirTravelMuffin]

I really want them to release this version of the song!

[@kkokkom_ddedde]

I saw them in Pasadena. Their playing was so fantastic!

[@drbeetheemighty]

One of my favorites

[@CptCramp]

Can I like this 100 more times?

[@DuertonDart]

This is simply impressive.

[@illhaveabite.7711]

I LOVE your songs SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much

[@DELJARE]

He gets down on that violin! Good stuff

[@symingtonreed3174]

Wow, first time ive ever heard this guy. Im blown away.

[@OthersOrSomething]

check out his NPR tiny desk concert.

[@teriscallon]

clicked on for Tall, Tall Trees. awesome stuff, would love to see this live!

[@zaybae01210]

Y’all are fucking beasts I can’t wait to see you live again best show ever

[@lucascecil6287]

He opened for Guster when I saw them. however.....I think I liked him better! I'm hooked!

[@savage5677]

Dam believe it or not I used to listen to this during 2016, it is insane I grew up with ur music I completely forgot about all this until I heard one of your songs on Rick and Morty. Talk about nostalgia bro....

[@johncannon1018]

Great Post! The Mrs and I saw him in Melbourne and then again in Phoenix, AZ!

[@melanyandrade3450]

in love 💕💕 this is very unique so special ❤

[@j0ntar]

It is not unique, Andrew Bird has been doing it for years.

[@melanyandrade3450]

They both are unique, they are a little bit different for me

[@matt1240]

I would be so nervous having electrical equipment and instruments like that right next to the pool.

[@Chthonic11]

3:50 - 430 really really amazing bit right there

[@Zifflebanger]

Jeeessuuuss h Christmas these guys are unbelievable

[@Jordcurious]

well this is fucking awesome

[@0713mas]

Awesome sound!!! I think this should be a permanent if not semi permanent collaboration! Really getting into Kishi so cool, I love Mike's solo stuff too!!! They should go by a new name to define the lines between their respective individual groups. Just for ease of finding material, Tall Tall trees unfortunately often gets me an Alan Jackson song lol

[@zineddineboughaba3156]

i like the song , it very good one

[@decaronacomoinstante2721]

redescobrindo kishi bashi.

[@Galaxyngc7331]

[@greghh2223]

Interesting group. I wonder what language that is.

[@garyhussey3865]

Got me? Navaho?

[@katelynjackson6146]

Japanese.

[@greghh2223]

Katelyn Jackson Gary and I live in Japan, and Gary (whose Japanese is a lot better) didn't realize it was Japanese either. Thanks.

[@vampcaff]

You guys are racist it's english

[@greghh2223]

vampcaff Haha! If no joke was intended, it can't be racism. Obviously there's a lot of English in there, but sometimes it sounds like another lingo is being used. No slurs at all, friend. In fact, I like the song.

[@gregdawe2786]

dat banjo

[@EdOnArrival]

His violin solo fuckin slaps

[@songuntitled]

damnnnnnn daniel

[@VyVy-xp6ej]

[@JanosBodabojo]

Klafa

[@Sailor1010]

I liked his pre band stuff more. I feel like when he was solo he was forced to be more creative. This newer version of this song just sounds less melodic and transient.

[@Kingspawn000]

That's the great part though! He's constantly evolving, adapting, and collaborating. Every time I see Kishi play the setup is always slightly different. His "backing band" are all artists in their own right (especially the magnificent Tall Tall Trees). This to me is just a bunch of talented dudes jamming together. Not necessarily better or worse. But I like... respect your opinion man. ;)

[@uvion]

Just saw them at the Fillmore in SF. They did the same format as this but it was 10x better than this. Do not hesitate to catch him on tour, its amazing

[@levirobbins8234]

uvion Saw them at Madison, I never would have expected how energetic they could be. Holy balls it was amazing.

[@HaoKanaka]

Just saw them in Ybor City, Florida. As mentioned above, they were much better live, with tons of energy. Got to chill with the band beforehand; super great guys. 100% worth seeing 'em live on tour. DO IT!

[@kickliquid]

I think this is the first Artist ever where I actually like both.

[@captainblack1124]

better by himself
