Saw them twice in Montreal... incroyable!! They’re definitevely a live performer band. Such and energy! All kind of new sound and instrument...they can make sound good a banana!

[@zedzero77]

Just the fact that there's nuts on top of the high hats, shits getting real.

[@bluesman7703]

This is the BEST STUFF I've heard in a long long time !!! Fresh as new fallen snow , that takes you back in time !!! The best ever ! The Barr brothers rock ! Blues down brothers !!!

[@iñktrip]

I have to say that nowadays, after knowing them for a while, I gotta say I'm glad I discovered them. Thanks KEXP for sharing such a good band!

[@LanceClark]

Saw them perform last night in Milwaukee at Pabst Theater, and they were phenomenal. I totally recommend seeing them live.

[@steelz78]

Lance Clark Imagine seeing them in tiny clubs in Providence when they were “The Slip”. Saw them when they were just starting out all the time with my cousin. Eisenhower is a work of art.

[@ladjaneduarte8184]

I'm taking my breakfast and I'm watching this. Wow! I didn't know them. They're great! Amazing!❤️🙋🏽‍♀️

[@josephwillemricci3649]

[@la_clave]

Wow...this something else. KEXP with another excellent production and the Barr Brothers are so, so good...hope they tour again!

Seriously talented band. Love their music so much.

[@Nickee_Sonicjinn]

Thank a lot, KEXP for the quality band yet again! I habitually clicked seeing KEXP and the live of Barr Brothers(and Sisters) is simply awesome!! Listening to Kompromat at the moment and how catchy the song sounds~

[@AliceMulle]

So Talented and Professional and I just can't wait to see this show LIVE someday !!!!

[@BradConroy_guitar]

Haven't heard anything this good since I first heard The Slip in the 2000's. Brad Barr is an amazing talent.

[@JamesHunterRoss]

These were some unexpected grooves! I'm very happily surprised... again! Thanks KEXP, whoever you actually are, I never would have heard this! Hell yeah! Some really special sounds here.

[@BrianCarnevaleB26]

Everyone brings their A Game when they perform on #KEXP So many great shows.

[@Xvictor29]

I love canadain music guys, someone from Madrid :)

[@howtobeinspiredbypoetrytow6841]

I have already gained my mind back in the rhythm. Thanks.

[@solent7430]

Saw these talented individuals supporting The War on Drugs 15/11/17 at Portsmouth Guildhall UK. Amazing live performance! Now a fully hooked UK fan 👍🏻

[@DrPool]

Saw them as support act in Cologne (War On Drugs). The audience was very delighted. So am I, thumbs up!

[@gabeb.3733]

everytime I see this band they have different members. None the less, still a majestic act!

[@emptypromises2962]

These guys makes totally amazing albums! Class act! I'm hooked! 👍🏻

[@feltongailey8987]

Came upon them ohhhh 10+ years ago. Stayed...for the shows.

[@eladgolan1]

Beautiful. "Song that I heard" is amazing.

[@dirk1857]

I saw them opening for The War On Drugs this week. They are really good! Love his voice.

[@radkid06]

Oh wow, I wish I had seen that show...two of the best!!!!

[@Brian_ON]

That’s where I first heard of these guys.👍

[@fernandopusulo6298]

[@naturalrestingface4909]

I'm getting an essence of Gomez on the last track. Loving it more now!...I'll be buying their cd's!

[@micheltibon8872]

Enjoyed listening to them as the support group for the War on Drugs in Brussels on 04 November 2017

[@rockymachine]

This is the uppest thumb.

[@angelbaladro]

Marie-Pierre Arthur playing the bass, it's amazing!!

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

[@jameslichtenberg5550]

Well, hello!! Tight, fresh, enfolding.

[@Nic33rd]

That studio was so packed. But it was so worth it.

[@mamiche9925]

[@stephrgmn102]

Absolutely lovely !

[@seamusmaher5937]

Just heard" come in the water" on Spotify...ace...brought me to kexp who keep on promoting class acts.

[@DesignerFromMars]

Song that I heard is IMO the song of the year.

[@larsagogo]

Hip No Ties...Just when I thought music monster ate it's fill then puked and shit all over Spotify. The Brothers saved me today. Thanks KEXP.

[@TheWarrrenator]

That drummer's nuts.

[@chrisheld7608]

Check him out in the band "The Slip". kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKq2l4yGrM2craM . Also, they had some great albums like "Live at Lupos" and "Live is my Jumby". I don't see them on KZbin.

[@torrinswanson6683]

Can we also talk about the harp player... Mind blowing.

[@bmouat2595]

nailed it. ive seen them twice and she does exactly that: blowing my mind

[@gilpinsteven]

Anyone else think the drummer Andrew Barr looks like Josh Hartnett? Such a rad drummer, and a great guy.

[@gilpinsteven]

@@bmouat2595 Sarah Pagé! She also sometimes plays harp for the Besnard Lakes, whose Montreal studio this set was recorded at!

[@NoahPhong]

This is really beautiful

[@AliceMulle]

So much talent right here

[@gloriousstereo]

deepsnowgoodtimes Whoop whoop

[@erichsucks]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[@chrisheld7608]

Hell yeah yo! I remember seeing The Slip back in 1998 at Hobart William Smith College. My girlfriend was a jerk and made me leave with her after a few songs. I bought "The Gecko" album at the show and remember laying in bed only to hear the muffled performance off in the distance. I can't believe I let her control me like that. You live and you learn. I'm so glad you mentioned "The Slip".

[@chrisheld7608]

Actually I believe it was 1999 or 2000

[@essjay_78]

present.

[@heins1979]

Geniales !!!

[@jerry1977]

[@bradleyhenry1996]

[@michaelbailey8690]

I want a KEXP shirt just like the banner behind them. Nothing on the website. How can I help make this happen? Designer/printer speaking here. Keep being awesome friends.

[@matiascabezas2871]

[@DesignerFromMars]

Goddamn it is there anything hotter than a female bass player just grooving it?

[@benjaminmitchell5345]

these guys are brilliant better than the war on drugs

[@frontbum420]

Where is Grass?

[@DesignerFromMars]

Is there anything hotter than a female bass player that is totally grooving it?

[@HomoChomsky]

Marie-Pierre Arthur is great! She also has her own great solo project going on, and is quite well known in Quebec. Happy to see her play with the band.

[@Obstsalatissimo]

no way to give you a double thumbs up so I just comment that your comment is exactly what I wanted to say

[@itawambamingo]

Who is the harpist?

[@ulrichvonbek1618]

Her name is Sarah Pagé, whom they met in Montreal.

[@gregwilmot4160]

Her performance / cameo is up there with Laurie Goldstein on cello in Nirvana's MTV Unplugged.

[@gianlucamorini2090]

compared to kexp usual quality, the sound here is really bad calibrated. Sad, cause the band looks great

[@Gordanfreeman44]

Reminds me of The Verve, or is it just me?

[@benjaminmitchell5345]

sounds more like the byrds to my ears

[@benjaminmitchell5345]

but honestly i think they have claimed their own sound

[@SunnyvaleTrailerParkSupervisor]

Please pick up that guitar again good sir

[@_jajajaja_]

Harp lady looks like she'd rather be somewhere else

[@burroughs334]

A guy playing pedal steel who can’t actually play pedal steel... awesome...

[@KhalDrogo76]

Wow, i knew these guys from The Slip...which i liked. This is not for me, kind of boring

[@troytodd7253]
