"We are still The Beths from Aukland, New Zealand." That made me laugh.

[@fien111]

I really like that Acrid is here, that's an underappreciated song from Jumprope

[@markvelasquez8029]

The band is ridiculously good. Hooks aplenty and the musicianship is next level. Marvelous!!

[@tiki_trash]

The guitar tones had me hooked from the beginning, but the vocal harmonies keep me coming back. It's like ABBA meets the Beatles and cuts a record with the Breeders. This band gets heavy rotation on my stereo device. I think this performance is stellar, but in my opinion, they really shine in the studio.

[@tiki_trash]

Merry Christmas.

[@my-spinning-wheel]

I love her accent. "We're the biths"

[@mattsmith3135]

I guess it's relative. Your "Beths" might sound like "Baths" to everyone else. Just sayin'!

[@michaelwestcott5726]

I’m 62 and loving this band. Classic smart NZ pop. The real deal!

Gives me hope that there is still real music played by real people out there.

[@andresforero]

Finally a live version of acrid 😍

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

I was asking myself if I’ve ever heard Acrid live...Amazing song. In a near-3 way tie with Not Running and JRG as my favorite of theirs, but probably the first I’d use as proof of Liz’s genius. Cus it’s genius.

[@akeffo]

Hell yeah this band is fantastic. I bow down.

[@stratisfied678]

So damn fresh! Guitar pop lives! Thank you The Beths from one old boomer who is a fanboy. Well crafted pop tunes, expertly played, live.

[@adrenalinejunkie4788]

+1 from a Gen X-er.

[@tiki_trash]

Yes, yes, yes!

[@qcengr]

So that's why it makes me feel nostalgic and stuff...

[@curbsideaudio]

Those harmonies sound incredible, everyone! Loving these news tunes!

[@juneyoon4432]

Love her voice

[@tiki_trash]

Me too, it reminds me of the B-52s in the way Cindy and Kate would purposely sing slightly out of tune in harmony or just above their vocal range at times. I'm lovin' it.

[@jmo1514]

The Beth's are so awesome!!!!

[@JillTonic]

Great Band, great Songs! Thanks! 🙂

[@marklandau365]

best band going

[@bburnsey]

Liz's guitar tone is fantastic.

[@schwarzblatt]

Brilliant melodic hooks, lyrics, composition, and musicianship. But really, the vulnerability in Liz’s vocal delivery cuts through the most to my ears.

[@adrenalinejunkie4788]

Well said.

[@racernc]

I totally agree.

[@kerryforrest6147]

Yes brilliantly awkward just like us!!! ❤️👏👏👏

[@Randomthingsguy2023]

What a great band, More albums from you guy's! Thank's

[@buymycomics]

Thanks for sharing WNXP! We appreciate you bringing this to us tonight.

[@jeffj1120]

Just saw them in Santa Fe. Fun melodies, great guitar, superb songwriting, tight arrangements. See them if you can - it's a great time!

[@matthewtaylor3102]

Loved seeing "A Real Thing" live, great performance! Also Liz is pretty...

[@eph_kni]

i'm both stoked for them and bummed for me their only bay area date is at outside lands... i guess i'm seeing them in santa ana!

[@craigros5]

Wow sounding spot on. :)

[@DavesCoverSongs]

I was hooked from the first note.

[@tiki_trash]

I love these guitar sounds.

[@DavesCoverSongs]

@@tiki_trash agreed!

[@tiki_trash]

@@DavesCoverSongs Sometimes they remind me of The Beatles and the way they produced and arranged their songs. Having a guitarist/producer that looks like Sir George Martin probably adds to the effect for me. I watched a YT video interview with him recently and it is amazing how much someone can do with so little when it comes to recording music. Also, the whole reason I discovered this band is that I saw that G&L Fallout guitar in a YT thumbnail, I'm a huge fan of their products. G&L just doesn't get enough love IMO. These guys make pop rock cool again.

[@tiki_trash]

@@DavesCoverSongs Merry Christmas!

[@DavesCoverSongs]

[@richieroma]

lovely pop licks....like a melodious mash up of the wannadies and the go betweens

[@elihersh2133]

Lovely people!!

[@jasonmelick587]

This band is absolute fire!

[@tonygibson5171]

Whoever does the sound knows what they are doing.

[@Hobopower84]

Liz getting interviewed by her future self had to be surreal.

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

Yet comforting to know that she actually doesn’t hate her current self, and in fact seems to be quite a fan.

[@ryanzumsen5294]

As I've been setting up my own drum kit I'm realizing that most of my favorite bands keep it super simple. Tristan's got one crash, one ride, one rack tom, one floor tom. Who needs more? Also, hey there Ayisha! Super glad that you've joined The Current.

[@ktchpmn]

It's not what you have but how you use it

[@PinkiePyro2011]

I'm watching this for the Nth time, and only tonight do i notice and appreciate the handy label on Tristan's shirt 🙃

Interviewed by her former haircut.

[@c11p]

Needs more Jon in the mix Otherwise, killer set!

[@ryanzumsen5294]

Definitely thought the same thing about Jon's levels. Although, it's interesting to hear Liz's guitar so clearly. It's easy to believe that any lead singer is phoning in their guitar parts and that is clearly not the case here.

[@VeritableSmorgasbord]

20:00 This moment reminds me of an interview with Regina Spektor where the woman asks “What DID you see from the cheap seats?” and Regina laughs and chides her amusedly, “Don’t do that to me!” and they literally just drop it. lol

[@simonArmenia1]

They have new band members in every clip?

[@hayleyr4067]

it depends whether they are touring and the availability of the members (ben and tristan in particular), but these are the core four 🤞
