HELP GET US MORE GIGS
Filmed by Allegra Rosenberg at hi hat in Los Angeles

[@BigVorst]

The joy in Sam Wilkes and Louis' face as they play is so contagious.

[@joshwoodward]

These are clearly not humans. I, for one, welcome our new funk overlords.

[@dcx45]

there must be scientific explanation for reg readers congregating here.

[@kostass290]

Definitely not. The bass player is clearly a Brontosaurus.

It’s so rare that you hear something that sounds truly new. This was one of those rare moments.

[@ILikeWafflz]

2:15 Louis made that fill sound like it came from a drum set three times that size.

[@joselekiwi5695]

ILikeWafflz Awesome musician

[@phutureproof]

He's a beast on the drums!

[@egregius9314]

Reading your comment *just* as it was being played: "I know exactly which moment this guy is commenting about" >:)

[@szrnkabela]

He said he doesnt have strong wrists and compensates more with his fingers. This is a moment of added wrist power.

[@finbarnone]

I can confirm it sounds more epic in the flesh. I was at the London gig, Louis is a monster on that kit. I thought it was pretty brave of them to do some of their stuff with a five piece but let's face it, playing with other musicians is far more exciting! Well worth my 900 mile round trip.

[@coloripple]

finbarnone absolutely! Just saw them live yesterday, one of the best performances ever!

[@cazza710]

Seeing this lineup perform this song and time traveller in person is absolutely bucket list shit

[@finbarnone]

Cool, I can't believe they're coming to Glasgow in March 2018, I'll be there. Their rhythmic playing is great. Show me a tighter outfit than Sam and Louis. Hope you get the chance to see them again.

[@RapidVidsProductions]

i can confirm you're a self obsessed fucking douchebag with no friends lol

[@amwartwork]

with a drummer n bass guitatist like that..... u have a magical recipe for beauty constantly

[@99tropix]

Loving the full band. This is the magic dust that it needed.

[@17primemover]

I just discovered their music about a week ago. I'm still hyperventilating at how much I need to take in.

[@katemjd8010]

It’s all sooooo good but that bass player gives me life.

[@theranter]

He is a phenomenal bassist... I hope to be that good some day.

[@clevelandbrown5709]

This is some real, incredible, contemporary music. They are fantastic!

[@eustacelufgren]

Happy to "help get you gigs", this is awesome. Still feeling the glow after we drove 600 miles to see you play live on Friday in Boulder, and you absolutely killed. There is no higher evolved form of rhythm section than Sam Wilkes and Louis Cole.

[@emjaybruski9149]

Any live performance can sound good. But the energy and fun that the musicians have makes it even better!

[@NicolasCaes]

This must be the most exiting thing on youtube. My god, what a ride.

[@JDODSON7]

I swear to God, it's like seeing Prince and The Revolution in the early years, circa 1980-81. Absolutely astonishing!

[@joekennedy1950]

I have seen exactly that, and now I just wish I could vote this comment up more than once. PEOPLE look at this. There is hope for US music.

[@daedrmr2dae]

@JDODSON7 Interesting analogy! I was too young for that, but I can imagine how that might have been turning things upside down, and the live energy it must have had before Prince became a household name must have been inspiring to witness. I don't think these guys will enjoy that kind of fame unfortunately. Prince knew how to have his talent take a back seat to a kind of narcissistic storyline that put beauty and sex on a pedestal, and everyone could understand it regardless of their musical taste or lack thereof. Maybe put another way, Prince seemed to know how to walk through Babylon half naked all while pounding a Bible, writing great hooks, and riffing on guitar. These guys seem too thoughtful to do that, too cerebral. And they shouldn't, it would be too affected. I only hope that that these guys stay true to their talents, and I hope they keep writing great songs and continue to gel and develop as a band.

[@myfrequencies1912]

The early Prince comparison is so accurate. Saw an interview where they asked Louis his influences & was damned when he didn't say Prince. It's in the DNA though, subconscious influences are waaaaay stronger than conscious ones! 😂

[@katsujinkin60]

I'm so glad someone hipped me to this group!

[@rollinfever]

That ending was sick!

[@RogerBiwandu]

Great tempo control by Louis, because with the excitation and the energy of the live gig, it would be easy to speed up, and I'd not blame hime for that, so great timing control, right on.

[@Lemon_Sage9999]

Louis' timing is rock solid, one could say it's silly .. like a clown... 😂

[@dinnae]

Damn, I enjoyed this so much, just sitting at home on the couch. I can't even imagine what it must have been like in real life

[@FuzzyPicture]

as a drummer, i gotta say the most badass thing about louis is that he plays a right handed drumset when he's left handed

[@szrnkabela]

Except he kept the bass drum on the right side. Even more badass, when he alternates using a keyboard with pitch wheel and a drumstick with his left hand in ClownCore.

[@FuzzyPicture]

@@szrnkabela Shhhh he's not in whatever that band is shhhhhh

[@szrnkabela]

@@FuzzyPicture yeah because he said so 😄

[@Gnomikon]

He’s actually right handed but his main hand on the drumset is left

[@Noop-Noop56]

Forgive me but isn't that called open hand instead of cross hand? Drummer from Faith no More also plays this way.

[@luanviiegas]

i'm in love with genevive

[@chambeet]

VIIegas Can’t say I disagree.

[@stickhurler11]

She is mesmerizing!! I mean the whole band is fantastic. Her energy is contagious!!!

[@storyteller915]

Had to search the comments just for this kinda confirmation. Thought he looked eerily familiar bahaha. Yaussss.

[@randomprimate]

Fantastic! So glad to finally some good footage of this lineup.

[@SpiritOfRadio2112]

How is that bass player's neck real?

[@phonkey]

It's not. If you look closely you can clearly see the pixels.

[@viktorragnarwashuus8157]

Some say, that every time he plays a note, a particle is added to his neck. It's only a matter of time until he morphs into a giraffe.

[@bourgeoisbrats]

Geesh...the mic placement/choice and EQ on the drums is amazing! This is proof that musicians that can play at this level "have fun" when they play :-) You can tell that she "gets pumped up" by the solos and Louis' drumming style, just like the audience. He's got that "backbeat with continuous snare ghosting" thing, like Keith Carlock.

[@jas_bataille]
