Japandroids performs "Wet Hair" at Pitchfork Music Festival 2012

[@michael6186]

Dude's vocals were obviously shot by this point in the show/tour. They still get an A for effort.

Man for so long I thought so too, I mean I love them soooo much and they're in my top 5 bands, but all the live vids of them I watched, I thought they didn't sound too good. But then I saw them live the other week, and boy!!, One of the greatest things I've seen!! I guess when you're there watching it's so much different, but they sounded perfect, it was like the sound quality of the albums but the raw performance of a rock band. :)

[@Kwistalful]

I get so excited when I listen to this band. I can not wait to see them this Friday in DC!!!!

[@jayfratsby761]

Awesome drumming toward the end.

[@cfer50]

Reminds me of new day rising era husker du. Loved it

[@Mitch-Cumstein]

They killed it

[@JasonVoorhees83]

Some people just can't handle the beautiful wonderful noise, love it

[@AlcoholicPapi]

They usually don't play this live because it's so hard to stay on beat haha

[@AidenBradley95]

PerFECT.

[@taylor975]

having seen them live i must say recordings of their performances really don't do them justice

[@xtianor]

synchronisation my ass, they are amazing

[@palbo4]

So many smiling faces in the crowd haha :)

[@Seagaltalk]

Good performance but youtube live videos don't do them justice, when you actually see them live it's amazing

[@AbstracktAlias]

1:21 Haha, looks like somebody fucked up here, but then they just get right back into it. Gotta love them for that.

[@samworthington123]

They do the vocal melodies slightly differently live, and I personally like it a lot more!

[@dcoy43]

This is very reminiscent of Oxford Collapse.

[@unknowndigitalfeelings]

Eles se divertem!!!

[@kentuckychromedesign]

This sounds like a Braid cover.

[@cftvdata]

They're a little sloppy here... kinda like when they played this tune at my first Japandroids show. I was a bit disappointed, as it was a favourite of mine. The next time I saw them, it was so loud in the tiny club that it was tough to even discern what songs they were playing at times. But the third time, at a hotel in east Vancouver circa 2010, everything clicked - the sound was mixed a lot more competently and the performance absolutely shredded. They were tight and fierce and everyone in the place was going nuts. Saw them a few more times in both Calgary and Vancouver, and while they always put on a solid show, they never quite matched the transcendence of that night at the Waldorf.

[@bigwendigo2253]

Absolutely the venue and sound guy can make a huge difference in a show. I honestly appreciate the different tonalities and changes that are in live music though.

[@TheMikediaz100]

Its different than other 2 piece rock band, but its interesting, in a good way.

[@erikswider591]

it wasnt a bad performance, its just very poorly mixed

[@Ostin3008]

lmao terrible performance? get a grip they are obviously not at their best but this is tight af

[@harrs21]

They're off, but who cares? This song is fun as shit. Have you actually heard the lyrics?

[@AlcoholicPapi]

Really? Because that's what they said in an interview.

[@MsPrincesskaja]

what is this

[@rhcp484]

blaaaaaah.

[@Trump123]

Why are the vocal levels always fucked up on your live stuff?

[@whalrus24]

Vocals are..different.

[@Kwistalful]

She had wet hair Say what you will I don't care I couldn't resist it (8x) These girls are all Bikini Kill We need a ride to Bikini Island (8x) We run the gauntlet Must get to France So we can French kiss some French girls (6x) Eff yeah!!!!

[@guapopenguin]

fail on execution

[@richi114]

I love Japandroids, but I hate to admit that they kinda suck live.

[@ElliotLeon]

bullshit.

[@marlinman1000]

I hate bashing online, it's a really pitiful thing to do to artists. But jesus, this is a terrible performance. If you can't do it live, don't do it...

[@iAmWiw]

Not rap music.

[@djLINKEDIN]

what the fuck is this....
