the bassist dancing is amazing

[@socko7336]

"Sounded great fellas!" "Thanks, you too John!"

[@emo51315]

John does sound great, so that's fair.

[@jacobbibby7848]

You know it’s gonna be a good show when the drummer has to tape headphones to his cranium

[@fernandorosas8315]

These guys are mind blowing live. Saw them last night with Car Seat Headrest. Fun fact: the three of them are now part of car seat headrest :)

[@weshouldtakeacid2848]

Fernando Rosas saw them like 2hrs ago. They fuck the crowd

[@arsaphone]

no they are not "part" of, this 2019 tour car seat headrest was back to 4 man squad again

[@calebchurchill3896]

​@@arsaphone Just saw them Friday, it's still a 7 piece! :)

[@Calz20Videos]

Bruh they aren’t a part of the lineup they’re just for live shows in 2019 fake news

[@fernandorosas8315]

Good to know!

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

Anybody else come here once every now and then come back and watch this live performance just to watch Slow Dance 2 but end up watching the entire thing because in reality you wanted to do that in the first place

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

I guess it's just the four of us then

[@ohyeahitsthatoneguy]

@: D then the 6 of us! :)

[@pancakepretty1536]

Hell yeah!

[@elbeetlebeasto]

yup

[@jaredwilliams2]

crazy seeing these guys at house parties and now watching them play kexp.

[@liamcahill7496]

must've been the lamest house party ever

[@pixiedeluxeaustin]

Must be even crazier to think they are now playing SXSW! Just saw 'em for the first time at a small show in South Austin -- WHOA!

[@matgracias6242]

Must be even crazier to think they literally played two nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco with Car Seat Headrest this week...

[@aquamech154]

Liam Cahill damn son, no need to be a butthead

[@KiteRara]

@@BernardoJLVinagre É muito triste ler isso depois de tudo o que aconteceu. Espero que o festival ainda possa acontecer :/

[@hobs1303]

An indie rock band that shreds? I love it.

[@GardenerRecords]

I smoked a joint with these guys once backstage...good times. Great show!

[@jeremyeaton5820]

This could literally be one of the future best guitarists of the 21st century

[@HearKittyTor]

That could literally be one of the most awkward sentences to have been written in the future.

[@Anne-wy7cv]

Easily. Phenomenal.

[@jacobbibby7848]

If Duane allman listened to thee oh sees this would be it

[@Tomas.Mauleon]

toca muy bien, pero el nivel de guitarristas y composicion hoy en dia, son bestiales, perdon, pero no lo veo ni en un top 1000

[@Tomas.Mauleon]

soy guitarrista, y para NADA lo desestimo, esta banda me encanta, y le deseo lo mejor del mundo! sin embargo siendo objetivos, esa es la realidad

[@reptameuck]

i LIKE how the bass sounds. a lot.

[@JoshHisoldbarsarewaybetter-c9d]

Stumbled on a gem last year with these dudes!!! They are rocking!!!! 🤘

[@billt4speed]

These guys opened for Car Seat Headrest last night at Delmar hall in St. Louis MO and they kicked ass!!! They also played the whole set with CSH. great job!!

[@iggyperrelli5229]

Great Energy..looks fun. KEXP has introduced me to so many cool bands

[@gmmc_central]

these guys are a hell of an act to see live. Seen them twice and I hope to see them much more

[@Nostalgia_OST]

Tristan McGarr I seen them opening for Car Seat Headrest and I don't remember the last time I went to a concert and the opening performance was pretty much on par with the main. It was amazing.

[@DelScully]

these dudes shred tho

[@laurenrollins8475]

shreddin' againnn

[@JoshHisoldbarsarewaybetter-c9d]

Mind blowing, originality, guitar riffs are epic!!! 🔥🤘🤙

[@GnarlyCharly]

I watch this back sometime just because of how sweet they are to John and visa versa.

[@cruelrecords7045]

Slow Dance II... Gold !

[@steadyrhythms9571]

the shadow is one of my favorite albums of last year, but holy lord they’re even better live. easily one of the best live groups of today.

[@KR1298508]

Check out the band black midi(kexp performance)

[@steadyrhythms9571]

@@KR1298508 oh don’t worry black midi is one of my favorite bands right now, preordered cavalcade the day it got announced. mind blowing group. love squid and Black Country, new road as well. that whole scene is wild.

[@KR1298508]

@@steadyrhythms9571 fuck yeah!

[@shingoendo4493]

they look and act like garage rock band but their sound is laughably tight. i guess the duct tape and how they hold thier guitars high are showing their seriousness.

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

Shingo Endo wait are you complaining that they’re playing well?

[@samkalish2653]

@@JohnDoe-dh8xc tight is a good thing

[@JohnDoe-dh8xc]

@@samkalish2653 “laughably” negates that

[@Traaaaad]

Bands underestimate energy. These guys' energy alone has made me a fan. As the wise DJ Khaled once said; Issa vibe

[@chefdoc]

Just found these after watching car seat headrest on KEXP. Sold. New fan right here. This is the guitar music I need and want.

[@jonrobere2487]

Saw these guys in San Diego Monday night... fucking really good band! And I am 51! These guys know how to let loose and PLAY😁

[@RayVon246]

The last two songs really raise this to another level

[@Ep1cPredz]

I saw these guys live a month ago and I've fallen in love

[@sheepslayer5095]

These guys are going to become big

[@steadyrhythms9571]

this band is actually so freaking good. glad csh brought them along.

Leave a proper comment fuk tard

[@Genious.]

Girls on the internet are so eager to manufacture being offended and seek a fight they know they'll never have to have. How about if people told you 'get a proper username fuk tard'? Or if people said ''spell fuck properly fucktard'?

[@ancientadamo6665]

time to bring these guys back so Green Fuzz gets a well deserved KEXP version :)

[@ngombordadoattay7982]

Thanks for curing my depression. I'll buy any record ya got.

Seeing Naked Giants perform live with Ron Gallo and Dan Luke and the Raid will always be one of my favorite shows #comebacktoAceofCups
