Melt Banana live @ Obscene Extreme 2016

[@kakaok]

I saw them in Poland around 2003. Maybe 2001. They came to tha shithole at the end of Poland. In tha bus. Kinda Scooby Doo bus... There were 4 of them with a tiny female bassist... And I didn't know what to expect... They played for around 20 people... It was one of a kind experience and I will never ever forget it

[@namelessxdread]

I remember reading about them opening for like Dillinger Escape Plan and Mr Bungle or something and them just getting booed. I was sad to hear that.

[@ModzelinhoPL]

coooo, gdzie to było ?

[@kakaok]

​@@ModzelinhoPL w Gryfinie, może jednak to było w stronę 2005, pewnie to było 2004,. Basistka była epicentrum energii, mniejsza od swojej gitary, robiła nie mniejszy rozpierdol od noize-gitarzysty w masce, który skakał po wzmacniaczach jak w japońskiej gierce. Perkusista nadążał jak w japońskiej anime (One Piece). Na koncercie było pewnie bardziej 30 niż 20 osób. Głównym polskim składem uczestniczącym był stargardzki Plum, który grał przed Melt Banana na równoprawnych warunkach (a być może Woody Allien). Wydarzenie odbywało się w skazanym na opuszczenie domu kultury na środku trasy transportowej skazanej na równie prawdopodobne opuszczenie, skład Melt Banana był śmiertelnie poważny, to co tutaj widać jest cieniem tamtego składu. Plum przed nimi również wystąpił w mocnym składzie, chociaż to Melt Banana było gwoździem programu, a nie odwrotnie. Do dzisiaj opowiadam o tym koncercie mojemu znajomemu japońskiemu pankowcowi z Tokyo, który jest ojcem trójki dzieci w Warszawie, yo ps. tak to był ten skład kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnLYmJKLotiHnbM

While you can't beat them as a full band, these two always kill it. Great footage.

[@smward87]

Agata and Yako were always the only official band members. Their drummer changed pretty much every tour and album, and while Rikah played bass for them for over 20 years she was never an official member for some reason. So...while they certainly killed it as a full band, these two ARE Melt Banana and always have been.

[@angellerma3374]

I saw them as a 2 piece, I would have loved to see the full band.

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

Rika is fucking amazing! She's so tiny and killing it on a bass guitar that is bigger than she is.

[@manmaas]

@@u.sonomabeach6528 Agree she's an incredible bassist to watch with a guitar that swamps her.

[@voidman9]

@@rorz999 I heard she dropped out for a different career after that Fukushima disaster

[@zinarmagadan3751]

I wanna shake their hand and thank them for their music, one of my all time favorite bands.

[@johnmiller-jf3ez]

I've seen them live 14 yrs ago in my city

[@zinarmagadan3751]

@@johnmiller-jf3ez Nice!!

[@epicfrog]

i got to do that in a small club in my town probably 20 years ago, electrifying live show when they had a full band

[@JohnEdmiston684]

I've been bingeing lots of obscene extreme footage lately and this is definitely one of the most wild performances so far.

[@MagnumDB]

I was so nervous to approach them on stage after their show at First Unitarian in Philly but Yasuko O was so nice and signed my ticket. Love the band so much :)

[@62davelee]

Love Melt Banana! Try to see them live!

[@Van-..-z._-_z.-._-._.-z.]

Time traveler here. I come back to 2021 to see what's doin. I'm afraid of losing my hearing. I was at this event but i wasnt at this event.

[@michaelrobshaw4345]

Saw them a few years ago at Nottingham Uni.Great evening.

[@treyjenkins6405]

Haven't listened to these guys in two years. It's nice to see they're still a duo and playing fetch songs, that's my favorite sound of theirs.

[@crombaugh]

I really miss the full band!

[@doomsdaydanceparty7646]

yea man same, i think they might have a new bassist or drummer

[@sparkygroover]

Me too!

[@GreasyMcNasty]

Oh? Did something happen to the rest of the band? I was curious why there was only 2 on stage.

[@treyjenkins6405]

They've been touring as a duo since they put out Fetch. I prefer it this way, actually.

[@doomsdaydanceparty7646]

***** its a tight sound but i feel its missing omething

[@villemononen5303]

That was good! Such energy, really sent chills all over the place.

[@rottendrums]

theres always a moment to dance at obscene extreme i love it!

[@1mghd2]

this is probably the first time i see such a happy 12 years old dance by Crusties. this vid is gold.

[@mxpmw]

It is weird to see them without Rika on bass.....

[@アナールオナール]

Melt-Banana は、打ち込みなんだから、打ち込みらしく電子音も取り入れて欲しい。　後に取り入れるにしても、Atari Teen Age Riot のように、TB-303の音も使って欲しい。　恐らく彼等は、ロックミュージックで初めて、サイバーパンクを体現したバンドだと思います。　彼等は下積みが長かったから、満を持して時代の波に乗れたんだろう。　おめでとうございます。　金華だね♪

can anyone tell me what she's holding? some kinf of midi controller?

Loved this band since I first heard them.

[@RJYounglingTricking]

does anyone know if the first 1:30 is a track? Seems like just improv cuz can't find it anywhere

[@stauwehr]

do you mean "Chain-Shot to Have Some Fun"?

[@mule666]

fucking bananas

[@ericmsandoval]

Anyone know if that into is on an album??

[@chrisarturigon3393]

any insight into what kind of device she has on her hand the whole time and what it controls and activates? it seems to me kinda motion sensitive? or am i overthinking it.

6:46 is Vertigo Game

[@lukegeorge415]

There's a lot of confused faces at the start of this video, and still quite a few confused faces at the end of it! MxBx rule!!!

[@palbo4]

How does the device thing Yasuko is using work? Does she trigger sounds and effects through certain motions? I don't see her pressing any buttons

[@JacobPadlock]

it's just a midi controller that she uses to trigger the drum tracks and bass tracks in Ableton

[@Enjoiravepanda]

10 minutes that's it?! You gave them 10 fucking minutes?

[@Pre-Expatriate]

Those people in the front are going to be deaf as fuck. These guys were the loudest band I've ever seen live.

[@jonjones5152]

Turn her mic up

[@archexeros]

PS Grind?

[@QuestionKnife]

Lol

[@ARogolino1]

Confused where the drums are coming. Can someone explain? However this is a great set.

[@naioki444]

Most likely playback

[@EverydayDeckienson]

Probably they're using a pre-recorded drum and bass track like Ween in their early shows

[@thegreathawk3659]

Last song?

[@MrVortzak]

yep very into the future grind/punkelektrishizzelizmmcore(how do you call this?°, not realy in the 'the scene' anymore ...round 7 yrs now...in my opinion this is only the most honest music there realy is....

[@freeriding666]

I ain't sure this was a proper setting, and neither an intelligent-enough audience to appreciate their music... These open-air rock fests are a plague. But least it wasn't in a fucking sunny afternoon...

[@girlswithgames]

people seem to have fun

[@CriticsConfession]

Mr. Meatballs It’s the exact opposite of where they should play and I have no fucking idea why all y’all white dudes associate them with grindcore just because they opened for Napalm Death a few times. Open air fests aren’t the plague, machismo dude-bros are.

[@SinnedNogara]

w/e Its a vegan underground metal festival. Where should they play?

[@CriticsConfession]

idk, at a punk show maybe? You know, because they're...a punk band? Duh?

w/e Obscene Extreme has had punk/hardcore bands though? Does Coke Bust, Doom, S.O.B. and Discharge not count?
