They still got it, Baby. Their Letterman Live performance of "Wolf Like Me" is one of the greatest barn-burner moments in all of Rock

Just got Seeds on vinyl for Christmas. I actually just discovered them a few years ago. I quickly listened to anything I could find. They’re now one of my favorite bands .

In 2006 these cats (including Gerard, RIP) were casually walking around downtown Seattle before their show at the Showbox and I got to giddily point at them and exclaim, "there goes the coolest band in the world". I still remember Tunde smiling and doubling over all bashful like. 18 years later they're still the coolest. Thanks NPR

@Kravis63 Ай бұрын

in 2006, you certainly were not wrong!

I was there visiting my friend going to college, he scored free tickets to the show, I'd never heard of them and we went and my mind was blown. Crazy!

Everybody be aware that Tunde Adebimpe is releasing a solo album soon, some singles are out already.

@the.echomaker Ай бұрын

He has a song called Magnetic that i highly suggest! i didn’t even know he was part of a band, so discovering this a few weeks after finding his solo music is super coincidental.

Their album Seeds came in a black and white striped plastic CD sleeve. The CD liner notes had striped abstract art in them and if you put them under the CD sleeve, it did an optical illusion where you saw animated images as you moved the liner notes back and forth. Every song had it's own animated art piece. That was the single coolest CD I've ever bought and it must have cost them a fortune to do it but so worth it.

They have been apart of my life in so many ways. 🖤 I have been waiting for YEARS - lol - for them to come back for a tour and was beaten out by bots/scalpers 3 times when theses tickets went on sale ! :( Thank you for posting this, what a great FLIPPEN SET (hello young liars/satellite/wolf - ooohhh they get me)!!!! 🖤🖤So much LOVE to TVOR 🖤🖤

They were inactive for about ten years. Their original bass player died and Dave Sitek - who does a lot of the songwriting and production, and played lead guitar - decided he didn't want to play live any more. Also, Tunde Adebimpe is an actor as well as a singer, and his stage/screen career heated up.
