Kishi Bashi - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@broadwaybroad]

I start all of my conversations with “Have you heard of Kishi Bashi?”

[@wholenewmess]

He's honestly probably the most talented musician I've seen in a while. I mean, there's tons of other wonderful, and talented musicians out there, but nothing that strikes my attention like Kishi does. Such a beautiful performance, like always. The albums are beautiful, but have to say he plays even more beautiful live. I've already seen him three times -- and each and every damn time I see him, it's just more amazing than the last, truly is an experience. So happy he's getting noticed, because if there's any musician out there right now, Kishi's the one who truly deserves it all. Love you, Kishi!

it's become a habit to watch full performances live on kexp and i realized that cheryl is my favourite host. whenever i hear her voice at the beginning of the video i'm like yayyy it's her.

[@bullerfugl]

Sofía Lvado she's always so genuine and interested in the guests unlike some of the other hosts

[@MattyGHerring]

your profile picture is such a throwback

[@Josiahjjr]

Never heard of this guy, but he definitely earned a fan here. I love it!

[@ajenks9]

Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to experience this incredible music for the first time! Couple weeks ago Philosophize in it... came on to my Spotify running mix and been enthralled ever since!

[@Frecks50]

[@michaelheid4534]

wow.....I searched for him to see if his live concert would be as good as his album. It totally is and more. Thanks KEXP.

[@MrRepublicCommando]

Incredible. The sound that he and the band make together, makes something so beautiful and audibly interesting that you can't help but get chills.

This man is the absolute greatest person ever to walk the face of the earth

[@ClassicRockLivesOn]

I'm always happy to see Kishi Bashi on KEXP

[@Adam-ri7eh]

Some of the greatest musicians alive right now. KB's albums are near sonic perfection and a completely immersive listen. It's amazing how well they translate live too thanks to the all the DL4 magic :D

[@DogtownPower]

Kishi Bashi & Tall Tall Tree on KEXP, so coooool.

[@ryansedor1560]

I Love Kishi. I feel like he is a little bit underrated.

[@tuttylevano7017]

+Ryan Sedor yeah, but well you know some genius are recognized (too) late...

[@TaylorTheTormentor]

I don't even have to watch the video to know that this deserves a thumbs up. (But of course I'm going to watch anyway.)

[@LedHead4Life910]

There were was a more "pop" feel to Lighght, but I'm glad he picked the pretty ones for this performance.

[@WallyBrando]

Is that guy putting a banjo through distortion?

[@loudspeaker003]

Damn straight. He does by Tall Tall Trees. Check out his music when you get the chance!

[@tucanoman]

Vampire Weekend meets Low Roar . . . ? not talking derivative at all, just comes to mind.
