he reminds me of my neighbor growing up who was really good at hackey sack and karate

[@ilikeponie]

08bourquem this is the ideal human form

[@Coreysnightout]

sounds like something alex would be good at too. He reminds me of an old highschool friend who was sponsored roller blader, always doing back flips and handrails haha

[@briangarcia8384]

I unintentionally met this dude at a party. So I was tripping on shrooms when "Gretel" came on. Shazamed it and bam, now I know what song this is. I put my phone down, I look up and boom. Sandy Alex G is in front of me chllin with a girl. Shit was very very trippy. He just smiled at me when I acknowledged him.

[@klinkersgas]

that would freak me the hell out id think im hallucinating

[@uwuwu9]

that sounds like the type of shit that happens only when you drop acid/shrooms

Sounds fake but cool

[@googi_i]

this version of sportstar is actually heavenly

[@roytorres6101]

holly sh*t... i think i'm in love of Alex right this moment

[@briteboy6131]

Cheryl Waters always seems like the sweetest person. If I had a successful band it would make me real happy to hear her talk about my music like she always does with her guests

[@elinag5743]

feelin pretty grateful for every thing that lined up perfectly in the world for kexp, myself, and this music to exist right now. look, there might be a lot wrong but we have this and each other to be happy about. let's just enjoy this moment, alright?

Much love nice comment

[@brunomontes8336]

Althought the simplicity of his music, he has something other artists dont have; huge fan

[@Displ4c]

How is it simple?

[@daisychainsaw]

@@Displ4c i think they mean its a little more stripped back than mainstream artists

[@kenjihemmert]

@@daisychainsaw i think they mean like how john mayer was in his early days

[@grahamreal6021]

I've met these guys a couple of times. They're good boys.

[@billtucker8084]

wow. these two (Alex and Cheryl) are just so humble and talented.

[@snax84]

Wow man sportstar sounded really great here

[@cameronrubner2378]

Saw Alex G live in Brooklyn such a great show and a great guy he stayed after and talked to everyone, glad to see he finally got on KEXP

[@CarlosGLeonIb]

So damn good. Also i love his voice, that comes directly from the rock of the 90's.

[@scrumbole]

MyMOSHU an he looks like dave grohl n all

[@arthurmalavasic6788]

Totally, this isn't a complaint at all, but you can totally hear how much Built to Spill he listened to

[@jamesmorganti5604]

Arthur Malavasic & Elliott Smith

[@MrMacca1999]

James Morganti who’s the first guy?

[@Creaturefiendyo]

James Morganti I agree on the Elliot Smith comparison

[@WatermelonTanuki]

FINALLLLY!! Now bring him back again. Tomorrow. Forever. Always 100 years forever and ever.

[@___domey]

remember seeing him way back when dsu came out in a basement in New Jersey.

[@389MRS]

im so happy this finally exists

[@jerrylynch3296]

Saw him open for bright eyes he was so good! Digging around now finding lots of stuff. 💜

[@JS-iw1bx]

Just saw him open for bright eyes as well, over at beak and skiff. Only got to hear about 40 mins worth, but his stuff is even better performed live. Just unbelievable in person. Love everything he does because of how unique his sound is. Wish he could’ve played for longer, was my first time seeing him.

[@tuffghost]

my heart dropped to the floor instantly ..

[@Beatboxbizboy]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Bobby - 0:35 Judge - 4:25 Proud - 12:17 Sportstar - 17:30

[@1ute]

thanks

[@mimi123b]

I saw him live this summer and met him and i miss it so much i love alex so much 😭

[@Haassan1]

Love him! He is very respectful towards Cheryl, and I love his Beach Music album.

[@gregdawe2786]

bobby is just such a good fucking song

[@mitaya]

lmao @ 5:20 . Not sure if the guitarist meant to have the octave shift on but alex's smirk is so priceless.

[@beemelonhead1]

Haha yea I noticed that too, just a little smile.. Light hiccups like that make shows so much better.

[@CloudxOut]

That tune is in the end of Futura free by Frank Ocean too.

[@Bass_Wizard]

honnestly this is so cool I like to think it was planned

[@drewclancy7157]

@@Bass_Wizard Me, too, even though I saw the smirk

[@Filiviana]

The transition in 16:25-16.45 Wow! I love them.

[@nicknovakk]

I didn't even notice that the first time, that was amazing!

[@andrew-8542]

Dude is way more rad live then on album. He should release a 46th record live

[@grantman552]

[@Fsavulich]

the new studio design is lit!!!!!!

[@0700andrea]

I really really liked this performance

[@darthmon26]

Icehead and Salt are still my favorite songs by him!

[@bootlegrascal1343]

Wish one of the bandmates could coexist with him with higher pitch vocals like he does in his songs 😭💕 a second harmonic

[@99isabel99]

I love him

[@1meqw]

i love this radio and i love alex g best artist ever so mcuh comfort

[@vanishing_girl]

he killed it on Proud and Sportstar, so sick

[@GodOfBacon1]

God damn I love KEXP but srsly they ALWAYS keep backup singers mics soo low , Sam's vocals on Proud on great, rly compliments Alex's. Sucks we couldn't hear them.

[@sampope200]

Saw that they recorded a session with Alex g on their instagram and I've been waiting for them to uploaded for what seems like a decade!

[@jadalena4178]

sam pope they had actually streamed it live in Facebook after posting that Insta, took a while to get here tho

[@sjfleishnetworkportal]

I love him sm

[@Ryanbaggarly]

Just saw this band on Last Call Carson Daly. Good stuff. You got a new fan here! From Dallas,Tx.

[@angebomb]

[@nonsholten]

[@Fsavulich]

the only reason its (sandy) alex g is because there is another singer called alex g. he's just alex

damn. FINALLY.

[@jodywheeler5779]

Sportstar works so well in this set

[@matteroftaste1445]

Yess!!!

[@joekrafft8271]

Alex looks like my last math teacher

[@clevv2727]

te amo alex g

[@AlexStanilla]

Alex is soooo much cooler than CSHR. Alex used to play in my basement in philly to absolutely no crowd and would play his heart out. Will Toledo blew me off for an interview wayyyy before he was very big. Alex is a great talent and a great person.

[@EmileFeik]

Aw shit, ya got me. It's me, Will Toledo. I caused 9/11

[@AlexStanilla]

Johnny Pickles feels goood dudn't, get that off yer chest. My work here is done.

[@dasdead]

Johnny Pickles, sounds like a furrie Name

[@Sickkities]

I saw him live he went crazy after brick

[@slizemachado4271]

This is my favorite dave grohl performance

[@wilsoncorrigan4324]

spicy boiiiiiiiiii

[@MrDaltonBousum]

Cool, but definitely a different vibe from his recorded music. His newest album is absolutely his best, imo. Be curious to know what that sounds like live considering how production heavy it is.

[@christopher2327]

high harmonies and backup vox throughout would make a huge difference like on the album

[@charlessale409]

Great lead guitarist.

[@chinuvang6189]

reminds me of my childhood thoughts

[@colins7771]

Fucking awesome.

[@MattOLearyMusic]

Bobby NEEDS that vocal harmony desperately

[@joshuadewe1116]

I think bobby sounds best live, like they were doing it before rocket was released see here:kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3bdqaWXaNGfarMm17s

[@dickjohnson3128]

I like this one. You can hear his emotion

[@kolbysdesign4009]

Seen his name around but have never listened, pretty chill stuff.

[@jortizx]

his early stuff is better, listen to beach music

[@nathanmaxon1]

vvorldplague beach music is good but trick is better

[@big.fav0r]

I like beach music, race, and I do like rocket

[@mnbowman33]

lol beach music isn't his early stuff. That's his last record lol.

[@T0LBERT]

listen to dsu

[@AlldawayAmPeDUP123]

sportstar is underrated af

[@kyukyuwu]

this guyyyy

[@chaseadams347]

When he laughs at 6:06. Guessing from something Sam did, lol.

[@Stampypeacefrog]

i'd say it was how he said hungry that made him laugh

[@JulesGM]

I think it started at 5:18 when the lead comes in, with the pedal setting slightly out of tune, which was funny. Then when hes singing hes thinking maybe how the lead is about to come in, bringing the giggles. I love it.

[@joostlewis3540]

He was about to cough, theres something in his throat and he nearly cant sing for a second

[@axaxz0285]

JulesGM Bruh what are the pedals he is using for these live shows?

[@vyrus2]

I think the pedal theory is right. If you look at 5:18 you can see him cracking a grin and holding back laughter when it first comes in

[@Osiiboo92]

god bless

[@RennyConti]

good sportstar

[@pynkie553]

Wuttttaa cutie!

[@anthonyposada265]

Cheryl waters 😍😍

[@timothymayer7613]

Hop Along shirt...legit!

[@samlilymusic]

This version of Sportstar is so much better than the one with the heavily processed vocals

[@aovadea8722]

at last boys. at ease.

[@rangeboy7210]

Nice session. Proud reminds me of Ben Kweller...

[@andi8376]

the hop along and bad to the bone shirt

[@chinuvang6189]

he looks pretty

[@hzubovi1]

Beautiful video :), might I ask what camera was used?

[@Squanto22]

Wait a minute..... This isn't Beto O'Rourke!

[@monkeys55]

No, it's Tulsi Gabbard.

[@user-ms4zr8tx5x]

No I can spot that pissy pants Beto anywhere!
