[@ItAllMakeSenseNow82]

#GumbyNation

[@VxDRAGONSLAYERxV]

I'll never be as cool as Jay Watson in this video fuck my life...

[@DemiKrueger]

We'll never be as cool as Jay Watson in general

[@jacksonrogers6189]

6:56 anybody else hear Joe say "blast them with our sonic jizz pump" Lmfao

[@allanmojica6455]

Bob Ross on guitar

[@demencial_chico_acelerado]

[@layon99]

[@88moxie]

Shiny Joe is the man

[@Gazuka]

Pond is literally a rockier tame impala with shuffled band members XD

[@silverjsvl]

Gazuka it's Tame Impala extra acid

[@Gazuka]

Mr. Knuckles yeahhh hahaha

[@henrypetchfood]

I think pond actually came first!

[@MrZeroFilmz]

they did

[@danielpetergray3880]

Pond is Pond my guy

[@OmerAssraf]

What I love about KEXP performances is that there are like 20,000 cameramen in there and you hardly even bump into them in the frames. Not to mention that brilliant performance by Pond!

[@Mac102250]

Mom... can I move to Perth?

[@maxbingham5583]

+Danny Mo could not disagree with you more

[@aboutthatgirl]

Yeah. Totally agree with you. There's tonnes of good shit at the moment. And has been for the past 10+ years. I think someone is telling porky pies.

[@devlinr.c7990]

Holy shit the Spinning Top Family is so cool, everyone plays different instruments and in bands too. Pond is just a ego-free band which makes it even cool about this group....... I want to be like them :]

[@zachadams5891]

it seems the guys from tame impala can play everything. i see one guy go from drums to keyboard to guitar then bass to well bass then bass to drums

[@DemiKrueger]

and they sing too!

[@RobBaughman]

These guys jam. The talent extending across POND and Tame is beyond insane.

[@cyyytr0n]

baby Pond ! "Beard, Wives, Denim" was my introduction to these lovely fellas, and they evolved so much since that time, now breaking into some dance-psych-world .. astonishing band

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

Same here back in high school now I’m 28 and they’re totally in their own territory now

[@SwedeProof]

Astonishing is the word!

[@danielgray9909]

Holy shit! Pond are a seriously underrated band.

[@sukimarek9407]

NICK PLAYING A FLUTE!!!!!!!!!!!! AAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! I PLAY THE FLUTE !! SO COOL!!

[@jennifvckk]

Life goal: see Eye Pattern Blindness live

[@mikaelakattenbroek2037]

pls update

[@jazovideo]

@@mikaelakattenbroek2037 they've been known to throw the riff into other songs. saw it in 2018 but the whole song deserves a play!!

[@emilyetallman]

Also: This is the best version of You Broke My Cool that exists. Serious zeppelin vibes.

[@shawnreynolds7978]

Still

[@kylehartman4670]

Not everything needs to be sharp, Pond is about being rough. Its all fuzz and emotion and ridiculousness. I''m so sick of over-produced crap rock.

[@prisonmike420]

Nothing beats old pond

[@Fishneohunter]

Eye Pattern Blindness

[@cruxcommissa]

'I think people just like everything generally, more, in America. Life is a more peachy kind of experience' Nick Allbrook is amazing.

[@VxDRAGONSLAYERxV]

One of my favorite performances on youtube. Fuck yeah Sandgropers for life

[@BigWrig]

Hardcore Bowie influence on the lead vocalist

[@amandasloan2761]

This is how I like my POND. Could not love this more. By far my favourite band (along with Pink Floyd). Best live band I've ever seen.

[@N8R_Quizzie]

I thought in the music videos Nick was playing it up for how eccentric he is, but honestly after seeing him live he's WAY more wild and energetic than what I initially thought. Love Pond, I can't wait for their new album Stung!

[@dasmado]

How much I love this session..

[@matheussonicorlandi]

quebrou meu rego

[@Gryffo7]

It's not soft cheese and hummus man.

[@DieseLGuY365]

Amazing group of musicians.

[@natewall4500]

Eye pattern blindness fuckin rocks!!!

[@SwedeProof]

Eye Pattern Blindness -- seriously fuckin good! Just listened 5x -- sooo good, it gets me every time.

[@hansstromberg2835]

Holy Christ. I haven't heard anything great like this since ... a long time ago. And I'm only 3:48 into it. :-)

[@Wobachec]

hahah i met these guys at the big day out in perth( 2012), sat with them for like 4hours eat and talking, mostly smoking. Was just me my friends and them, they must have liked us coz they invited us in back stage :D amazing band !

[@goodless]

Love Joe's guitar. Vintage Japanese Gibson copy, Orlando or Maxitone. Great tones.

[@BitterrootRambler]

Its an Orlando. . Its just a cheap Japanese guitar. From the lawsuit era at the matsumoku factory in Japan. The factory would make the guitar and then American companies would slap their name on it. Epiphone, Ibanez, National, Cort. . . they were all doing it. Iv'e got that exact same guitar, I've also seen it in a 12 string version. They are known for the extremely cheap single coil pickups that are noisy as all hell and very vintage sounding.

[@TheDustyPanther]

Sounds like the have a bit of chorus and also a very subtle flange effect on the verses, there's also some tremolo at certain points, and then a bunch of distortion on the chorus. That was probably no help to you, but hopefully it's a start.

[@daanmuller1]

Minute 22:51 - face melted.

[@N8R_Quizzie]

I saw Pond live in 2022 and I knew they were going to go crazy with Giant Tortoise, but I wasn't expecting the outro that they did! Now that I've heard it, the outro was the chorus during Eye pattern blindness. They blend together REALLY well!

[@LUKASAHLSTROM]

You don't speak English very well do you? He was giving pure facts to somebody asking a question, there was no critical opinion in that comment whatsoever.

[@Dixon7JB]

Check out the (explosive?) flute at 7:36.

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

Nevermind, just watched the whole thing and realized they haven't released it. They should - it's unbelievable!

[@SUPACHARGED]

Stupid comment, this is average music from an average (at best) band. To say it will blow any other band out of the water is a joke haha

[@DemiKrueger]

0:53 OMG I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS I LOVE THOSE HARMONIES (I'm new :D)

[@JoeSoma]

Actually the vibes in this case are Bowie/Mott the Hoople as in "All The Young Dudes" and Pond pulls it off nicely!

[@b_3087]

24:27 Stop Looking At Me Cheryl

[@francitron_art_3]

I Really Love this Performance, they're so unique!!

[@DevelopWaterbottle]

Man they ripped it up on that last song, which is one of my favourites of theirs.

[@piercestang]

Is that Steve Coogan on keys??

[@heartships9700]

A truly brilliant performance.

[@jumpinjoe88]

I have the album downloaded and still go through the process of searching for this version. Anyway, never made the Zeppelin Connection before, but now it's crystal clear.

[@badwerds]

fuck yeah, dunlop 73 masterrace

[@PostFruityRebel]

The gentleman in the orange looks like the lead vocalist of Yuck.

[@revo1337]

Isnt the blond guitarist the drummer of tame impala?

[@8bitDude0]

He was. Now he is the keyboarder.

[@eliascoldplay]

And the drummer is Tame Impala's bassist

[@danieldevlin6993]

and he is now the drummer for Pond

[@revo1337]

And the studio drummer is kevin parker

[@eliascoldplay]

That's right Daniel. Lately Jay is playing drums in Pond and the bassist is Julien Barbagallo who is the drummer in Tame Impala All of them are fucking genius

[@TheIthilStone]

this version of eye pattern blindness was sick

[@DemiKrueger]

25:43 lol

[@SamHigh]

Opening flute rmo Dungen (highly recommended)

[@bobbydazzlersmokez]

dude looks like a young peter frampton...lol...

[@Gryffo7]

Hahaha Joe's looks at Nick at 14:10

[@ministryod]

second song sounds a bit like Bowie.

[@MbfLproductions]

This looked like a wonderful time

[@catsilvie]

*.* this is happiness ...

[@grungesoundsgood]

F U C K I N G E P I C

[@semisyntheticpsychedelic3429]

How I get that guitar sound @ 2:54? Tremolo and distortion?

[@thod8358]

+Semisynthetic Psychedelic the distortion was probably a pedal, though knowing pond and their fondness of playing loud it could be the amps gain all the way up. and im assuming the tremelo came from a fender deluxe verb amps vibrato setting. i could be wrong though

[@semisyntheticpsychedelic3429]

Thank you

[@PSBV240492]

what's the name of the first song?

[@moonstone1974]

I hope the blow-up. Not literally.

[@JonahStratos]

Do consider that America is comprised of many different cultural and diverse ethnic backgrounds. Yes, it could be true that some sweden guy invented, let's say.. the graphical user interface, an american invention. What mattered is that he was an american immigrant, the idea might have been conceived somewhere else, but his citizenship is american, you wouldn't call an invention made by a Hispanic american a Mexican invention. but I see your point.

[@maybejessie]

Best thing ever!

[@mz6724]

16:15 im dead

[@konnyknees]

damn eye pattern blindness sent shivers down my spine like, 5 times.

[@JonahStratos]

The psychedelic rock scene began during the late 1960's simultaneously in America and England, but gained traction in America. just how The Blues, rock and roll, and rap are American born genres of music. To be American is to become popular by America, America is a melting pot of numerous cultures and ideas. To be technical, you could say that someone's great uncle Italian immigrant started the tradition of fireworks on the fourth of july.

[@SuperCookie1010]

Two words: RAW EPICNESS

[@fredfresh13]

Needs some work, but decent.

[@ElectricArms]

I just burnt my pizza rolls.

[@abezainal2126]

Yeahhhhhhhhhh

[@bravo4566]

I can't stop watching this

[@lasaventurasdeamadeosorpre1702]

after THAT!!!! only a "nice" and"good bye"???, horrible host. Come to Argentina Pond!!

[@renzolagomarsinotorres1270]

this made my day

[@dommyjudd]

This is such a biased claim. Music is universal. Yes, it might have originated and become popular in America but there are Psych/rock bands all over the world. Classic and Folk are very popular genres in America also, but you don't hear people calling it the European Classical or European Folk scene. Each nation does have their own scene and style but to say it's American because it's popular is beyond stupid.

[@geomancer2221]

not your best spelling

[@JJnever]

SIMPLY GREAT AND MAGICAL.

[@TNTIV]

Jeeze the host really is awkward. The guys must just want to play music. They seem even more awkward bahaha.

[@94ddare]

That flute playing in that song you broke my cool reminds me a lot of the Flute solos in The Jimi Hendrix Experience's If 6 Was 9.

[@emilyetallman]

'cosmic bollacks'

[@freeheelfreestyler]

that pond sucks

[@thechangingman8]

Haha, Asians...

[@rapastronaut77]

is that guy from tame impala?...its nice

[@andrewreed4443]

Yes. Although Tame Impala is Kevin Parker, who is also a member of Pond, though he isn't at this. These guys are all basically part of the same musical collective. Pretty cool

[@rapastronaut77]

Andrew Reed for sure glad to stumble up on some good muse!

[@matthewlococo1645]

Yup...that's Nick Allbrook (former Tame Impala) on bass/vocals, Jay Watson on guitar/vocals and looks like Cam Avery on drums (but he does bass in Tame Impala)

[@tristanarcelona]

Hi

[@AtLeastIGotChicken1]

i doubt that

[@sadamslight]

i am willing to wager that these kids were exposed to the jimi hendrix experience in the womb. good parenting.

[@demolaishonwow]

good

[@HitmanJenkins1]

It sounds more like a Phaser than Flange to me, it's much smoother.

[@veganocomunista]

Awesome!!!! They are so good as the biggest bands of the 20th century!!!

[@magicalpizza2123]

why isn't this music on spotify >:(

[@mo0dyy]

Hahaha GET TO THE TOP

[@jackmartin01]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before but... How come Cam is playing drums left handed here but plays bass right handed in Tame Impala? Mind blown haha

[@JonahStratos]

Lol, these Australian folk sure do love the american phycedelic rock scene

[@pstrokeslibsarctic]

That guy who plays flute, when he was screaming he looks really like Thom Yorke. Hahaha

[@TheDustyPanther]

Could well be, I always have trouble distinguishing between them haha, I don't use either effect much.

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

You should get an award for best KZbin name and display picture. Hahah that's some funny shit - Tim and Eric.

[@KidsWithGuns1992]

That guitar on the opening part/bridges of You Broke My Cool is unbelievably awesome. Fucking uguguergergie

[@floribe123]

Thank you @BitterrootRambler . Also can anybody tell me how to do that stuttering sound with the guitar at 1:32 ??

[@lizwaechter1526]

Sweet Jesus. Every time I watch this, I'm fucking mesmerized...unreal. I love it so much. Unreal!!! Keep rocking, Pond. You guys are amazing

[@MmmFilip]

Pond in a Park, it hasn't been released on any record yet.

[@ThePsychedelicpunk]

they sound like a cool mix of early prog rock, late 60's psychedelic/acid rock, and like pink floyd-esque space rock. pretty dope.

[@phiNjustin]

FUCK YEAH this is awesome. Love you kexp always showing great bands that i've never heard before. Glad to have a channel like this to watch.
