I think I've lost count of how many bands I've discovered from their live performances on this channel.

[@RyanGriswold-og7ey]

Ditto. K.e.x.p is great for that. I found these ladies and black pistol fire among many others on this show

[@trixwivstix]

STILL MY FAVOURITE THING ON YOU TUBE.

[@trixwivstix]

Back again OMG this gets better and better. I love this band so much, was heart broken to hear they were no longer together but follow Gem where I can and I hear there could be more The ghost ease. Please let it be true Jems voice makes me want to grab strangers, stick their face to a speaker and scream down their ears "How fucking good is she ????" More talent in this band than 100% of the ass hats that passes for "artists" these days these days.

[@keaeril]

And this is why I try to listen to as much KEXP as possible. Hate to miss anything like this band.

[@zut25]

This band is incredible, probably one of the best performances I’ve seen on KEXP. That lead singer man!

[@PieIzquierdo]

XV 0:00 - Pareidolia 3:06 - Gemini Rise 14:13 - Struck 17:47

[@cruzrfl]

Holy shit, I wish I could sing and play guitar like that! And the drummer IS SO GOOD! And, man, the bassist is great too! Woah, just... Woah.

[@tiagobarboza4551]

coolest drummer i've ever seen!!

[@PirateStyle2013]

Ive watched this set three times now. Its so good and hypnotic

[@PirateStyle2013]

Minus the creepy interview where the interviewer set up questions to keep talking about her self and her orientation. totally weird but the band seemed to handle it well.

[@louidivine3140]

Ive been playing this video for about 4 years myself hahahaaha

[@PirateStyle2013]

@@louidivine3140 Cool Project. I saw the band live once but the drummer and bass players were replaced. Not the same vibe. But I have not checked in their progress since.

[@slylang]

They're simply captivating, couldn't quit before last note...

[@mortxcor]

Absolutely amazing. And the vocalist

[@hmmbilical]

that bass player is laying down some greasy funk. loving it!

[@laurencevidal8337]

+hmmbilical molly...who let you youtube

[@2m7b5]

Her guitar is super cool. I'd be interested to see a rundown of her build.

[@plentpase4710]

feeling very lucky after clicking this by accident

[@pdg887]

+Plent Pase I'm right there with you. Thanks KEXP

[@leventeczegledi6272]

So do I, i was listening some nirvana when I curiously clicked to a link which was in the comments. and now..I'm here

[@joerivera6334]

I bought their album, Raw, and it's amazing!!!! I've had it on loop in my car for like a week.

[@fabiodewitt9140]

That drummer has the fire,very good.

[@jojokerus]

+Fabio Dewitt I also noticed the drummer, but the whole band is great. They get a lot out of three instruments and vocals.

[@sf5823]

Girl drummer which is nice to see :)

[@PirateStyle2013]

Ya Fabio Dewitt first comment response. I don't even want to see why there are 52 replies I just hope they are good. But yes man she is on it. I am going to show this to the drummer in the band and I hope he picks it up. She is good and very aware of the band I bet she would be a great improve drummer too. Can't wait to see them in June

[@drpepperr]

Fabio Dewitt I hear what you mean. I like her drumming, too.

[@thomasrainbow]

She's one of my favorite drummers in Portland! So fun to watch!

[@nitetimerxdio2762]

this is my new favorite band I vibe with them so hard

[@melissasavage1553]

First time hearing them... immediately knew I'd love it when I heard the guitar in the first song. Thanks KEXP!

[@TheJugojumex]

Still here hoping to one day be able to catch a live performance with these same members 🙏

[@AdnanAlsannaa]

Amazing performance!

[@louzhar1379]

sweet band, one of the best drummers in rock today

[@stevensinger7005]

This might be my favorite band I’ve found on KEXP, but it sucks they haven’t made an album since 2015

[@asilearnguitar]

im an instant fan... good

[@RuckRuRaggie]

I'm so excited that grundge music is alive and well. My parents introduced this type of music to me when I was little. Flannel and Docs forever...

[@pdg887]

+Jerissa Martinez It sucked for a couple of years (remember Nickleback?) but I feel like it's made comeback, with a few modern tweaks, in a big way.

[@RuckRuRaggie]

+pdg887 True, wasn't a fan of Nickle. I would prefer Puddle of Mudd over them. But thanks for your reply.

[@ProdigalPunker]

why do bands with girls in them always have the stupidest, creepiest comments? "hurr marry me" "omg they're so cute" knock that shit off and just appreciate the music.

[@glazinghost5951]

+ProdigalPunker yes

[@narudh]

Same with beliebers don't be sexist

[@ProdigalPunker]

Uh, really? I'm the sexist one? You should pick your battles better.

[@narudh]

+ProdigalPunker reverse discrimination is discrimination

[@ProdigalPunker]

Narudh Areesorn except my comment isn't discrimination whatsoever.

[@kyleham48]

I've discovered so many rad bands, thank you KEXP.

[@writer4peace]

Thanks once again for introducing me to great new (to me) music & musicians!!!

[@heyhey1754]

WOW they're incredible! So refreshing

[@Danielblco0]

2:14 "my floor tom is falling" face

[@cruzrfl]

Hahahah she was like "woops, man"

[@robbievangeenenNL]

Great performance and very nice interview!

[@mastertimb]

[@olmasters]

Sharlese's chat.. oh dear. Great stuff from Ghost Ease though!!

[@mrsharpsuit]

[@slowseph8261]

[@esteban28gb]

[@xuvaxuvaxuva]

[@beersandgear6743]

Love the drummer's style. Would listen to anything she played in.

[@puspokamen8156]

4:16 - 4:17 that little sound .. awesome

[@dwightclark7627]

BTW when you hear them start talking, the music starts again @14:13.

[@ZEKRENXIA]

Sick! time to go wear out the album on spotify.

[@DJNosebleed]

+ZEKRENXIA Except that its not on spotify :(

[@ZEKRENXIA]

James Newmarch the New album "RAW" is on the there but the other one "Quit Yer Job" you'll have to get from their bandcamp.

[@ZEKRENXIA]

+handclapsand808s bummer! oh well. i guess there is always the option of making a playlist of all the songs you like from them on KZbin or just buying it on bandcamp.

[@sebadcabre]

Could you find anyhting on Spotify? I only see a live album. Are these girls still playing?

[@ZEKRENXIA]

If your in the states you should be able to find it on Spotify. Slightly different line up now but they're still at it. There is an instagram page that she keeps up to date.

[@rb919]

Fugh yesss.. gimme more of this in my hearing-holes all day. Loving this band to bits

[@CorwinYoutube]

Wow, stunning! Thank you... Buying their album asap... Just wow!

[@CorwinYoutube]

[@vredneckv]

[@Gork-an-Mork]

Lead singers eyes are hypnotic. She could make me do anyhting with those eyes...

[@terbed]

+Z. J. Farrell And her hair *-*

[@Gork-an-Mork]

+Terbe Dániel Yeah she sort of just checks all my boxes...

[@pdg887]

+Z. J. Farrell Like buy her album?

[@toughsoft321]

Cool stuff! Cranking drummer! Can't stop watching.

[@TheSquareOnes]

Amazing band, hilarious interview, what more could you want? Glad I found this, definitely need to pick up one... or both of those albums.

[@mattkline2157]

Thankful they paid Bozeman, MT a visit and got to check out their set. Incredible amount of energy and their sound just gets into you, dig!!!

[@per2]

[@dennisjacobs9907]

These are artist. They are so different in sound to others. I love them!

[@3vilPredat0r]

[@Veronica-il2bd]

Excellent.

[@djrich999]

Good band, like it! Really liking the vocals

[@passatny11]

Dope band!

[@dennisjacobs9907]

I love this group. She plays guitar the way I do. I just wish I knew what she was singing. I love to hear her sing and the way the others play.

[@backdoorman1768]

awesome daaaamn

[@oddysee3030]

Saw them live w/Austra, amazing show!

[@JUTESDARKMATTER]

how refreshing

[@benjamincartwright3239]

this performance is great! not only is the band really cool, but the host does an awesome job with conversing with the band. definitely made the group very real for me, which with other bands I find myself feeling a personal disconnect.

[@chadjohnson1351]

badd ass.!!! damn good band to see live.!!

[@MadsSabroe]

This is good!!!!

[@in.der.welt.sein.]

I've been trying to find videos of the EMC g400 amp, and this came up. That amp sounds great. Must find one.

[@BarnyWaterg8]

Fits in with the Seattle from the 90s...

[@GrandmasterTrash78skunk]

female nirvana

[@jerd2631]

That's no ordinary guitar she's playing.

[@prufesuroak]

The drummer is insane!!

[@marcelopepinho]

Gosh this drummer really kicks all asses !!!

[@NickieGurney]

Seriously kickass

[@taraelsey926]

All I can say is that this band is amazing.

[@simargue]

They are too clean

[@tab9100]

this band fucking rules

[@dennisjacobs9907]

I can't how good this group is. The basses and drummer are really good. Of course the girl singing and playing guitar is great. I just wish I understood the words.

[@lullabi3234]

wow fucking tight! she's a brutal guitarist, I love it! drummer's got The Fire for real! and damn that bass player walks with the Funk!

[@ironsights4me]

singer is hot. that bass guitar is sick.

[@137magdiel]

Muito bom!

[@youngstreetbridge]

This kills

[@memes2465]

Lead singer is fuuuuckin hot

[@szakalsrakal6029]

+ADRIAN XF Lesbian

[@fabianoot]

+Jimmy Boxman demented

[@tedcruzforgayrights2045]

Good thing I'm a lesbian then

[@nebuluos2032]

James Boxman I respect a lesbians choice to define their feelings..but more often than not I find it's just a word/comfort zone/preference/or some kind of conclusion they came to when they were younger.. this inhibition generally only applies to obvious fuckbois they can't stand the sight of..I suppose it could also be that bisexuals are just that much more common..but i see it as: lesbians are people too..and unless they're literally phobic.."people" will typically sex anyone who seems right to them at the time...of course an arsehole that swears by categoric notions of people will never see any opportunity to make plessure with a "lesbian". They'll probably shut down and play all their arsehole cards the first moment they feel denied. At any rate simply being a lesbian, in no way prevents someone who is 'hot' from remaining 'hot'.

[@nebuluos2032]

If you attracted to a gay person the only thing to do is respect their feelings,preferences, and interests..as with anyone, if there's any chance for you at all, being this way will probably break the ice.

[@paramini08]

holy shit,they're good!

[@swae_rza]

The drummer!!! Kusikia!!! Nsayi Matingou the legend!!!

[@vlsantospt]

AMAZING!!! It's like Kat Bjelland and Kristin Hersh mixed but with a new fresh sound!

[@Skiptracer1981]

Reminds me of Blonde Redhead with Cobain on guitar.

[@matheusrj22]

Nice

[@dennisjacobs9907]

I was shocked when I heard this band. She plays allot like me and I love the beat they play in. I wanna hear more.

[@starface9866]

Trojan Nuclear Power Plant is exactly the place the host is referencing to. I use to live in St. Helens Oregon and as a child I have a distinctive memory of my family going to this nuclear reactor for a picnic. Yes a picnic! There was a huge recreational park filled with bbq's, picnic tables and duck ponds situated right beside, almost underneath this spooky looking monolith of a cooling tower! My only memory of this place was a near death experience as I almost drowned falling into a duck pond. I remember just looking up at this massive structure then being pulled out of the water only to get a ass-whoopin that I would never forget, even 35 years later.

[@stevejorgensen1105]

F… yeah!!!

[@flyingcheff]

Girls girls girls! You are EMPATHY Wonderful, all of you, love the music. Drummer girl, you are sublime, that happy smile, and rhythm.

[@6969718]

f***in Awesome!

[@jessemullen9083]

I love Jem's responses xD

[@newtagwhodis4535]

I fucking love this band. I don't know what it is... but you... have... IT. A trance inducing, heavy sound I've tapped into as well with my playing, but never captured as well as this. Very grounding and very edgy. Keep rocking hard ladies u got my ticket purchase next trip Chicago-way

[@h.h.n.2497]

You're amazing ! That's a fucking great post-punk song.

[@Mr.Wormsworth]

These guys fucking rule!

[@The_Angry_BeEconomist]

and yet I always come across comments these days about how no good music is being released these days, people too lazy to search a little

[@grucifixation1929]

This is great stuff.Has a very Rollins band feel to it.

[@jordandarin9814]

The Slits meet The Birthday Party, awsome.
