The Beths - Full Performance (Live on KEXP)

[@CommanderNewton]

these guys are legit the beths band I ever seen live

[@btaddeonj]

Good pun

[@CommanderNewton]

@@btaddeonj I'm glad two people have appreciated it

[@phill4096]

🥲😂

[@bahahhag]

I appreciate it too.

[@thepelfstheband]

Liz is the cutest. No need to be so nervous, Liz! You rock!

[@chrisrichardson6482]

She looks shattered. So do the others.

[@braattyb]

right? hehe

[@kingcrimson1204]

I've met her and she was just like this in person! To be honest the whole band is pretty "Kiwi" - ie pretty impassive - but they let their talent speak for them I think :-)

[@braattyb]

@@kingcrimson1204 I was standing waiting to meet her at her merch table but then changed my mine and walked away lol. I could just tell she was awkward and I am too so I didn't think it would work well.

"It's so great to hear you playing live!" "Thanks." rofl

[@braattyb]

I saw them live and she was so similar then too. lol

[@freddybenelli9100]

They didn't start making music to do interviews. She seems like she just wants to play the songs and not talk about playing the songs that much.

[@TheBrutalDeluxe]

I am more than pleasantly surprised that Liz's voice holds up live. Look forward to them headlining their own tour.

[@quasistellar]

Can confirm she's legit live. The band as a whole is crazy good live.

[@freddybenelli9100]

@@quasistellar @TheBrutalDeluxe I saw them in March and they sound just straight off the album - everything is perfectly tight, the backing vocals are sublime, and Jon's guitar tone just perfect for every lick and solo. And Liz's voice just has such a sweet quality even though she says that she's not primarily a singer. I recommend seeing them anytime you can.

[@vitamin9165]

@@freddybenelli9100 yeah they're amazing. They blew my mind when I saw them.

[@rayyanchami4777]

This whole album is seriously a classic. The lyrics are so smart - "How can we rely on demand and supply, if you said goodbye would that be a lie" "Put poison in my wine and hope that you're the one who dies" - and these common terms keep appearing throughout the songs: "breath" "vapour" "cold" "condensation" - "in the cold the steam escapes my lips and dissipates, you breathe it in, we all breathe it in" "breathe aloud/I promise it won't freak me out" "when the cold sets in, a river will run" - it's just so emotional and deep and encompasses pretty much all the stages of romantic life. The whole thing starts out with her wishing she could escape from between "the ache and the apathy" and ends with her asking humanity to "leave me out of it" next time.

[@pipo050]

Well written

[@jonniesquash1419]

The greatest lyricist since Morrissey in his Smiths days. I love this band ❤️

[@tomthetinker1024]

wow, never actually looked into the lyrics. This makes me love them and this album even more.

[@thaddeuskeanu8456]

I realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good place to stream new movies online ?

[@shogotag]

wow

[@binzianer]

love her voice and the random jumps into falsetto

[@ceelar]

Props to Cheryl and her questions, out of left field and having the band speaking in ways that are actually interesting. This is why I love these KEXP videos. It's a music lover's music channel.

[@JerimiahGentry]

Yeah I'd like to see a compilation video of every time she eagerly smiles while awaiting someone to respond. That would be a very soothing and very long video.

Thank you

[@TheChuckster1313]

Great, great band... they blew the roof off The Brighton Music Hall in Boston a couple of weeks ago. So tight, and they sounded so good in a such a small venue. Nice folks too... Jon stopped and chatted with us for a bit and it was nice to meet the rest of the band as well. I cannot stop playing this album... end to end.

[@yebocal]

Cheryl Waters = legend!

[@Pumpmaster77]

As a crusty 59 year-old myself, I love the youthful exuberance of the band and their sound!

[@chrisowens6387]

Damn right, I understand. I'm 61 and stuck a 28. Everyone that knows me knows that.

My god I love this music. I have been listening their songs since 2018 and it has helped me through some tough times. Thank you so much

[@tommystoe]

This album hasn’t been out for that long but it still gives me a nostalgic feeling? Seriously love The Beths

[@davidgodoy9561]

I just discovered this band. Their sound is so refreshing! I will be catching their show in L.A. in July. I’m too psyched! 🐢

[@anasalhorani1490]

what a band! this is a fantastic performance!!

[@aliciamaciel6820]

Fave debut album, fave band, and fave live act of the year!

The Beth's are very good

[@tiki_trash]

Apparently, if you wait long enough you can like them twice. I swear I have liked 👍every Beths video, did I miss this one?

[@kabinmaharjan5894]

There is something about this album "Future Me Hates Me"... it's simply AWESOME!!! I am definitely stoked by you Elizabeth Stokes :) You definitely remind me of Molly Rankin (Alvvays)..Really excited to see you guys @ Logan Square Festival next week...yohooo....

[@squaremile]

So ridiculously good. Enjoying how well you can hear the lead guitar warbles and slides in here

[@stoplying]

This is one of the best records of 2018!

Reminiscent of the Sundays - lovely songs

[@christopherwelch136]

Simply bloody brilliant.

As an awkward Finn I formed an immediate affinity towards these unassuming Kiwis. :) Shy peoples of the world should always have each others' backs!

[@cillid23]

[@billslobotski6549]

I love her voice, beautiful!

[@alessandrof.5442]

I've been in love with the album for years. Oh wait, it was released a few months ago... Probably just listened to it too many times!

[@TheKedmun]

You guys rule. Representing NZ!

[@mrgemmill]

Amazing! I especially love Happy Unhappy in this set. (18:00) Their harmonies and speed are brilliant.

[@petepete9831]

2018 is the year of female singers taking over

[@rocker4577]

2018 is the year stupid calls finally go away

[@mikemcgreevy2105]

Iggy Pop on his BBC6 Confidential slot recently mentioned that too. After an all female set he comes on and says that it wasn't a conscious decision to be playing so many female artists, but they're just killing it lately.

[@braattyb]

hell yeah

[@jurgenrembrandt1349]

they have this positive The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart vibe

[@alexrhinefield123]

Saw them in Atlanta with like a 40 person audience. They’re def gonna blow up in the states this year

[@cscarsbrook]

Everything about this is well done.

[@pavlina_kha]

The most perfect voice I have ever heard,my esthetics

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

She sounds like Molly Rankin from Alvvays but I think she carries more emotion in her voice. Super affecting. Like, Karen O/Regina Spektor levels of affecting.

[@hdng1984]

I love how the accent enhances her emphasis of various words, it's so refreshing

[@brentberry6967]

So many drummers. Fucking outstanding band.

Totally spreading the Hans Pucket word, btw. When a band you like wears other band t-shirts you should pay attention.

[@padraiggiles1043]

The best female fronted band since The Sundays ...high praise indeed fucking awesome

That might depend on how much (or how little) the listener wants their rock bands to rock, but they are incredible at what they do.

[@baxterperry9859]

My Favourite Band! So stoked for you guys and so proud ❤️

[@renewableteacher]

Love these guys - not their best performance as they look overawed by the spotlight, but warmed up towards the end. New album Jump Rope Gazers is even better than the first one sampled here- check it out if you like clever jangly guitar pop.
