Kishi Bashi - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@badnewsfairy9181]

His music is fantastic and the way in which he performs it live is pretty genius, but the best bit about this is just watching him I think. He bounces and sways and he does so many different things with that violin and his face is forever changing it's brilliant!!

[@tuttylevano7017]

+badnewsfairy Sir UNIQUE !

[@bunnyh0_]

a professor showed my friends and I this performance when i was in first year college around 7 or 8 years ago, then lent us his copy of his music. every few years, i return to this performance to re-center myself. it is 2021 and i feel a little more grounded again. kishi bashi, you fantastic artist.

[@christopherjarrett9067]

Good professor.

[@veronicagentle9537]

after at least 100 plays- Manchester is still officially the most beautiful song I've ever heard -finally seeing him live next month!

[@AnisaLondon]

jealous

[@CursedKyuubi]

Couldn’t agree more. Was lucky to see him once in Boston and once in Vt. Been wanting to see Omoiyari, his song film

[@Blanketeyes]

He sampled their clap, genius

[@snootsnoot5590]

the way he smiles when he plays or sings is just so warm and happy uwu

[@nikkihauf1673]

Watching K ishibashi is a spiritual experience.

[@WavePotter]

This man is such a class act. I was a huge fan of his work with Jupiter One and was so sad when they broke up. But this performance is just so great. He's such an incredible violinist and songwriter, yet modest. So glad he kept making music :)

[@sarinabrandt1694]

Except for the fact that he still writes multi-part symphonies and plays, sings, and beatboxes exquisitely.

[@drinklotsofwater0006]

WoW!

[@Quetzalgirl]

My favorite new music artist. Thanks NPR for the great interview. Favorite song so far = Manchester. I haven't listened to the new album "Lighght" though.

[@ajs3682]

Raw talent refined into a precious gem. Thank you, Kaoru.

[@abbii]

Oh wow! He is making the world a better place! ❤️

[@Superstarfruit888]

I love how happy his voice is! Could listen all day ~~~

[@drinklotsofwater0006]

Yes, also, very soothing to the soul. I will say again, extremely talented.

[@imma-burr8287]

I cried a little during the "Kissing the Lipless" cover. Once of my favourite musical artists covering my favourite band. Too much for me to handle.

[@drinklotsofwater0006]

Wow, so I just discovered Kishi Bashi, his song played on "Miracle Workers - Bright Whites". What a talent you have Bashi. An amazing man you are. Continued Success my friend!

[@lailacassim]

Saw him live tonight. Out of this world! Thank you KEXP for showing an amazing musician to the world!

[@MusicEricMorgan]

Manchester is hands down one of my favorite songs ever and the way that he does it live is just so magical...

[@CaptainFicus]

holy shit he's so good..Manchester is seriously one of the best songs ever

[@harmonty1000]

This is wonderful music!! It warms my soul love love

[@KoolAid02251997]

one thing I love about him is...the violin is turning into be a part of him...he is just comfortable.. and 'natural' about playing, singling, being with the violin..I've felt that way for a while with my favorite bicycle..(until I fell horribly on a paved road!) It's a magic. I guess that is what we seen in arts, artists.

[@indradeepsingh2332]

What a joy!! What an inreadible artist. Thanks KEXP the temple of collective consciousness.

[@6000cortes]

One word describes this guy perfectly... Original!!

[@kimsherlock888]

Exercised my ears and I loved spontaneously singing in background. AMAZING

[@NAMENAMENAME12345SFF]

fell in love with Kishi Bashi (and KEXP of course)

[@twobirdstone]

His live performances are stunning! Can't stop watching~

[@WGBHMusic]

Wow, not what I expected at all when I saw the violin thumbnail. Good stuff! Love the creative sound.

[@drinklotsofwater0006]

Hope you are still alive

[@kjguitarman]

Opening bottled water while keeping the sustain on his violin. Pfft..maybe add some Cirque movements to make it unbelievable. Incredible talent.

[@BlasterTheMaster]

[@Jacqui805]

[@LucidDream]

I also really love The Shins cover too.

[@Lautrich]

Er scheint mir Jemand zu sein, den man einen musikalischen Kosmopolit nennen kann. Dafür ein GROßES Danke dafür ! PRIMA

[@mandolfini]

This artist is a GENIUS!!!

[@wrnerd101]

its one of those shows where people only do that on like 1 song. the rest of the time everyone waits to go crazy after each song and concentrates on the music when its playing.

[@michinco]

such amazing singer! there is no one like Kishinev Bashi! Glad I get to know his music in my life!

[@WillGo7]

Michin co Where did you get the "nev" from?

[@eresparami3008]

I love his music so staffing

[@noph785]

15 people are soundgarden fans

[@i0kiVids]

I'm seeing him this Saturday live! I hope he plays his old music, the latest album wasn't my favorite but OH My GOD his old album is actual magic.

[@wesmatron]

Sam... if you ever read this, thank you for bringing Kishi Bashi into my life. You'll never know the impact it had.

[@BlownMacTruck]

wesmatron He’s not.

[@pumpkinhead540]

idk, I have seen this guy three times in Seattle and each time the crowd wasn't afraid to clap and cheer out. First time with Of Montreal people went nuts, second time when he played with Bison it was a little reserved, but just a few days ago at The Crocodile people were cheering and clapping along to the point I wanted them to shut up so I could listen to the music haha

[@TheTransitmtl]

You can do that on the album. Live is for a shared experience. If you go see a live show to listen to the music it kinda defeats the purpose of going live

[@dutchiev326]

i love it.

[@sentrynebri]

If the audience makes noise, it gets stuck on the loops. Usually, musicians will ask the audience to be quiet to minimize this.

[@drakebloedje]

He actually toured with Regina Spektor and with Reggie Watts. So they've probably jammed together :)

[@green3452345]

HIm and Dosh need to do an album.

[@salvatorevincent8510]

Awesome

[@spikybandkid]

He 's Crazy !!! woo !!! :D

[@MrRepublicCommando]

Kishi Bashi + Andrew Bird. Think about it. Someone needs to make this happen.

[@earraNJ]

This guy is having a concert in my town for $10 at an age-restricted venue. I am seriously considering making a fake ID right now, you don't even know...

[@Eric-lw8te]

Wow!

[@Folk17]

Waiting for a collaboration between Kishi Bashi and Owen Pallett :-)

[@MariAnna-vb5yl]

Гениально!

[@TheBleuWolff]

Damn, I miss Jupiter One.
