A little non-metal, to ease your soul. Pop some Alpha Brain, and kick back.

One of my favourite bands, and one of my favourite all time guitarists.

Thank you.

I would have never stumbled across this just by searching youtube.
How do I find this kind of music?

I found them on YT just clicking around one night.

AudioTree, KEXP, NPR Tiny Desk, Pitchfork etc. are good channels to occasionally scan for something a little off the beaten path. (AudioTree and KEXP in particular)

I don’t have my ear to the ground near as much these days with new music so I generally stumble over stuff a couple years after the party.

Second time I returned to listened to this live performance start to finish.
This is just great.

It is a great performance.

I probably put it on once a week while messing around the house.

Love their vibe! Hard to find really good quality live shows of theirs on YT. (At least, I've had a hard time with that). Mostly cellphone vids

 

[Alex Kenivel]

Just descovered these guys. Been listening nonstop for two days

There is a great show of them from Austin City Limits on YT.



Here's some Deluxe Reverb vibes, too, @DrewJD82

Good point.

@DrewJD82 The guitarist runs a DS1 into his deluxe, tone knob all the way dark, no gain, just bumping the level. (Think he runs a compressor early in the chain too, but barely on, just a little tightener)

We’re gonna get Drew vibing with that Deluxe come hell or high water.

Well, tones that sound like cardboard aren't going to do it. I'm watching a different live video now and I'm digging it in this one-



Still not really what I'm lookin' for, though. This band is pretty cool, I wasn't digging that first song much; I really just wanted him to let a chord ring out for a couple seconds after a while But the first song on the video I posted is pretty damn cool. Perfect for Cheetos time. I'm definitely going to check out more of these guys.

Mark also has a nearly always on Cry Baby wah in toe-down position before the DS-1.

And then he has some weird pickup wiring. And he never changes his flatwound strings. He's pretty unique haha!

Don't forget the always-on wah pedal, year-old flatwounds and owns only one pick


Edit: @jellodog great minds

 

[jellodog]

@Alex Kenivel LOL.

Yeah, I don't love-love them either. Apart from Laura. We got a thing going on that she,
apparently, has not caught onto just yet.

I think they are cool, and different, and I love the use of Silverface-era Fenders.

The fact the he resembles my deceased Uncle's dog with that wig on doesn't help. I have to close my
eyes and listen with my ears. Except Laura.

I didn’t want to scare @DrewJD82 off with the rest of that.

I dig everything else I heard but that one song and I think it's badass these guys have enough of a following they can play around the world. It's so full of guitar but it's not the typical virtuoso stuff, definitely refreshing to hear.

And don't worry, man, she'll catch on sooner than later. You're a good man, just keep at it.

Maybe I need a wig. Yeah, that'll do it. Shopping now.
