He's really exploring the space w/ that cowbell!

[@angelapaul4064]

Interpretive dance cowbell, can't go wrong

[@sanchopanzam8]

MORE or less

[@RobRoast]

The cowbell dude totally earned his spot and my respect.

[@dvdny]

It's an important part of the song - adds all-important syncopation 👍

[@paulgrivell1263]

@@dvdny Bez gets a cowbell!

[@shawnsuave5694]

Who could rock that hard with that?

[@liamconlon4375]

I've been coming back to watch this performance since I was a kid in the mid-2000s and I still love it!

[@meghancalahan4798]

Seeing them live back in the day was incredible

[@doingtime20]

This video could be like an analogy to life, some guys get a guitar or a bass and feel grateful, but then comes this guy which is given a cowbell and owns the show. It's not about what you were given, it's how you work with it.

[@estebancuatro5679]

[@adamk907]

That is the most profound thing I've read in weeks. God Bless the cowbell!

Gabriel Andruzzi. Absolute legend in cowbell circles.

[@OrangeySnicket]

I know nothing about drumming, but the drummer is what makes the Rapture even better! He's sitting, yet it doesn't stop him from dancing. Super cool.

[@hookyspick]

A bassline that won't quit!

[@leemorejacqueline]

hell yes

[@erikrodriguez8721]

WHAT A BANGER OF A BASS LINE

[@cirilorivera]

The cowbell guy is so intense. Miss those guys, hell.

[@morningchaps]

For me, that performance with cowbell was the heart of the show. If I'd shown that much energy & passion on the triangle, maybe I wouldn't have been relegated to "third beggar" at my Year 3 production of Oliver. (Sigh) opportunity missed.

[@ARCMusic]

the cowbell is amazing, such a legend for doing that on live tv

[@NGGlynn]

It's the bass player who's holding the whole thing together. The drummer is really loose, love his drumming and then the guitarist can explore the space 'cos of the great rhythm being held down by the bass. And he does. Great performance. And unusually for an American band, they actually look great.

[@gandalfstormcrow7943]

They look like they’re from Italy, no?

[@vanessa0111]

Aw hell no why you hating on American bands. So many great American bands especially from this era of rock early ‘00

[@NGGlynn]

@@vanessa0111 I said that unusually for an American band, they look great. You've responded to something completely different. Good luck if you can actually find anything that comes close to this greatness: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5WvlKZqi9edkLM That's pre-MTV, Vanessa.

[@Jermthatormentor]

They sound like a British group. Hard to believe they come from Brooklyn

[@sentientarugula2884]

@@Jermthatormentor I legit thought they were British lol

[@Hoppercool]

I saw these guys at The Showbox in Seattle years ago, and they blew the roof off the place with this song.

[@bmayotte]

I was there and I still have fond memories of this show.

[@Takac1979]

The guy really explores the space ... Fantsatic song!

[@MichaelMacBride]

God I love these guys. Their music just keeps getting better and better. Plus, how can you go wrong with that much cowbell and a a funky ass drummer that hops around on his stool that much? Honestly... they rule.

[@AC-hj9tv]

Hell yea!

[@OrigamiGhosts]

I remember watching this live on tv and that's how I discovered the rapture. my friend and i were like woah. cool. Echoes is a great album.

[@etardo]

I watched this on live tv with 4 other people who were so disappointed and I was in love !

[@benhopper3363]

I saw these guys open for BRMC in Seattle years ago and they brought the house down with that song. Place went apeshit.

[@mohdzulfadli6276]

Ben Hopper two of my most favorite bands during my younger days. Seen these guys twice both sets are insane especially Echoes

[@luckycat3]

Letterman was great - always the best bands featured.

[@enjoi552]

bahaha amazing. this song owned me senior year of high school, good times.

[@OrangeySnicket]

I've just fallen in love with these guys. Any band that has the guts to dance gets my approval. (I agree with the person who said he looks oddly like Napoleon Dynamite -- I thought I was going mental.)

[@joepickard]

i cannot get enough of this band.

[@aSleepySpaceman]

I'm more impressed by his dancing than his cowbell playing.

[@carolina_montrose]

that's a SICK performance I loooooooove how hr rocks the cowbell man! It's awesome!

[@Gourgetten]

That look of satisfaction when he says "3" 3:04

[@libeth2]

That's what I call enjoying your own music!

[@vicsauu]

2023 y aún rifa esta rola. Ojalá que salgan a tourear otra vez porque nunca los vi en vivo

[@Contrariwise37]

"Okay Bob, you play drums, Joe, you play bass...... oh and John, why don't you play the cowbell?" "AWWW! Come on guys, I ALWAYS play the cowbell :( "

[@Daubentonia88]

SO now when I'm 40 and think... This is the kind of music that was released when i was 20 and I feel good. Stil felt like something new was happening. Rarely anymore nowadays.

[@mikerobertson2126]

Even Letterman couldn't get enough

[@mariaahhkamran]

man these guys have a lot of energy

[@Hearts4Mavi]

I always joked about always playing the cowbell. This guy knocked it out of the park!

[@lilyparadise6620]

my body needs that cowbell Right now!! :3

[@calimica1979]

The rapture always does somethig so unique. I love them

[@Procella]

It's sad that they kind of disappeared recently, it's almost 4 years since the last album. I hope they release something new soon.

[@cakredi4132]

This was the most NYC to ever invited to Letterman.

Nope. Try Interpol during hurricane Sandy in an empty theater.

I saw them live in the summer of 2003 and they were fantastic and pretty unknown at least in europe

I need MORE cowbell!

[@buyhappines]

i love this group

[@JonnyParker-]

Our school band "return of the quim" covered this song back in school for battle of the bands night liie 15plus yr ago. Think we came second cos this older 6th form jazz band was on and half the room were their mates who voted for them but we clearly had way more vibe than them haha . Anslow if youre still out there you rocked those vocals dude .

[@sunsetlonercinema]

When it comes to the cowbell player, he is worth the price of admission alone.

[@thrillsfan]

So good and entertaining, I watched it twice in a row.

[@papafunk88]

que inventiva y combinacion cuanta energia, hasta groove tiene the rapture quiero bailar o de perdido moverme como estos dudes

[@hijaumilitan]

COOL i luv this band

[@eventwice1981]

I play softball with the singer/guitarist. In fact, we hit back to back triples today.

[@mantra3000]

It was quite amazing how bands so often managed to give career defining performances on that show.

[@WAAAAAAAAAAAY]

This band are amazing

[@JesusCommando]

I seen them do this at 'T in the park' (UK music fest') around 2003, I think. They were fucking excellent and the cowbell was on TOP form. SHAAKE DOWWNNNN!!!!!!!!

[@loischristie871]

I was there. I don't think I've ever danced harder in my whole life 😆 An open air set that felt like a sweaty nightclub, everyone dancing their asses off. Amazin

[@VoltaGirl]

soo good!!! i like them!!!!! and i love echoes!..

[@Stlee55]

that dude jumping around with the cowbell is wicked!!!!!!!! haha soo jokess!!!

[@imHXCw00t]

I think the cowbell player is like the best friend that they just couldn't kick out because he paid for all of their equipment or has great music gig hookups such as David Letterman.

[@drewbocop]

I'll never forget the night I watched this

The Cowbell On Point

[@danysaschaja]

This band is the shit. Love it.

[@joelsonf]

ELES SAO DEMAIS !!!!

[@joepickard]

still brilliant.

[@tcoreyb]

It's a great song. The vocals are a la Cure, the bass is a la New Order, and the mix is a la LCD Soundsystem. The studio version sounds a little better though... the guitar and echo are a little out of sync and the cowbell is obtrusive (on the album, it's much more integrated).

[@TheBendsAndYorke]

i can see the light in singer's eyes

[@Jermthatormentor]

From letterman to not dropping anything in 10 years

[@pfflam]

They seem to sync up with the echo effect only after they started, after they slowed down to match it. Ordinarily his shrieking singing hits it perfectly, a little sedate in this

[@haudeamerican6959]

2022!

[@BigDOOMson]

O.G. from before Superbad!

[@Tman376]

@Procella They haven't disappeared, they're still doing gigs but they've been working on their third album release, possibly due out later this year. The bassist did leave the band, though. And I think the latest song they released is called NO SEX FOR BEN, you can look it up. Timbaland produced it and it is sweet.

[@Moustachu2001]

This video makes me think of a video of gang of four - To Hell With Poverty (TV Live). The way they dance, the bass, the drum, the guitar ...

[@u2befan001]

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha agree!! hahahaha i nearly peed myself when i first read this hahahahaha you rock man!!

[@samuraiinCfede]

Yeah, I guess you're right...but at the end all these dance-punk and post-punk revivalist bands share a whole pool of influences of the original post-punk bands, so I guess we shouldn't only stick with some bands...the important thing is that we shouldn't compare post-punk bands of today with the ones of yesterday (that is unless they ripped them off)

[@waz3128]

No one else can count to 7 like The Rapture can. Although they could only count to 4 here

[@kdgfg]

first time I've heard these guys. Pretty good

[@jeandondon2605]

so good

[@l4lising]

i enjoyed this video

[@lladsbid]

yeah, everybody says that. but i can hear it in this song; angular indie pop with semi-yelped vocals and punchy drums. call me crazy but it reminds me of foals (obviously, though, these guys came first). or maybe, they just act the same on stage and that's what reminds me of them.

[@fudgemonkeyz69]

I GOTTA have more cowbell!

[@samuraiinCfede]

Yeah, well it's a shame...yeah, they told me Solid Gold is good too (the other albums,forget about it) and I'm expecting it soon with the extra tracks from Another Day/Another Dollar...man I love to Hell With Poverty, such a great song!!

[@baqarah]

yeah hes dance is sooooo wicked :D

[@ameba50d4]

Buenísima banda!!!

[@AbbottSupreme]

Amazing!!!!

[@lladsbid]

yes, yes they do. the band Foals are extremely similar to this

[@Ramcattery]

That's really all that can be said.

[@om3ssa]

underrated.. that must be SPOON from Austin Texas

[@aidanday]

Whoah. Never seen the dude's face before. He looks like one of 'the Who' guys big time... is it Townsend or Daltrey? I think it's Daltrey.. wow...he REALLY looks like that dude.

[@estebancuatro5679]

god damn tempo all over the fucking place

[@nena4rmcpt]

Love it

[@EleectricMe]

Ok..sólo tocaré el CowBell en esta canción..lo haré de #Putamadre !!

[@pablolopez4480]

hey, as a whole i agree with you, but this song has a number of very similar features so several foals songs.
