Ahhhhhhhh I’ve been living in a hole for the past 5 years, but since the pandemic lockdown I think I’ve found my new favorite band!
me 2 :D
Me three. Real pros and I'm all in.
I've bought physical CDs and merch to better support them.
Me 4 and I'm an old fart
Aligned! Love that there's so much music out there that I can discover a 5-year old band that is not one of my fav's! These kids rock!!!
Love how the drummer actually says "Boom" along with the drum beat at 1:27
Liopleurodon Ferox deadly ! He did, so he did !
I am absolutely OBSESSED with that part I kept replaying it and saying boom 💀💀💀💀
Can't believe I'm back here again, given all their success, i still think this is one of their best performances, (and I've watched them a lot since) everything in perfect symmetry, and no bloody crowd singing along to spoil it!😁
I always come back here. For me this is their best performance. The sound is spot on!
I've seen them live three times. Once in a Austin and twice in Denver. They've never disappointed. I do wish that they would go back to some of their early songs though.
Ellies tone during this show is just fucking awesome!
i'm older, Beatles on Ed Sullivan @ 8yrs old and the evolution of modern music...these "kids" got me all excited again! god bless 'em! ...
fuck, I love her voice. especially in this version
+Pen and Paper Check out the Tiny Desk Concert... Also great.
+DrunkRamen yes! they make me appreciate acoustic. her voice is really beautiful in that.
So refreshing. They cover all the genres we forgot we liked.
just took 18 minutes for me to fall in love with this band
This band brought me through rehab,it was so blinking long and hellish. Thank you for helping me turn to near happiness,nearly there 🇮🇪🏴🙏🏻.
They were such babies, and yet already so f*cking tight. Amazing band!
This is my favorite band. Literally sitting here eating pizza and drinking pbr. Life couldn’t get better
Giant Peach live is SO GOOD
I love this band
vanrok Me too.
vanrok Me three!
They are the best I've heard of new music.
vanrok she’s great the band is shit
Except for the guitar player. Ditch the drummer and bassist
The chemistry here is amazing. Sometimes a band or artist seems to arrive fully formed from the get go, with a realised vision. This may well be the best "live to air" I have seen in recent memory. Watch those views (and the band) go through the stratosphere...................from a 50 year old still in love with music like this.
100 years they will be dissecting this frame for greatness within
Fun fact: I was tapping my foot against my radiator in time with this song and started vibrating really hard and came off the wall.
sounds like you're doing it right!
God they sound so much better live. They should really do a live album. Or at least release this performance as a live EP lol
Wouldn't mind 90s revival becoming a reality!
This has some Pixies reminiscence and other familiar 90's or 00's sounds I can't recognize. I love it
Thank you KEXP for inviting on Wolf Alice; they've been addiction for the past few months. Donating again when fundage gets better for me.
I was thinking these guys were being overhyped, but they really are that good!
The brief pause at 5:00 is surreal.
Can't stop listening to this performance. Every day I come here and listen to it! UPDATE: still listening to this song daily
Wonderful guitar riff at the end of "Moaning Lisa Smile".
These guys are killing it. I can't stop listening to "Bros." That song is boss.
Ellie wrote it when she was 19. She and her best friend Sadie Cleary have known each other since age 3!
Fantastic. Best new rock band to come around in ages.
👍
+Kevin Rachman my four favorite bands are Bully, Speedy Ortiz, Wolf ALice and Charly Bliss. great rock bands. all similar but also different.
bully sucks
Bringing back the honesty and songwriting of the 90's, thank you Wolf Alice! Beautiful catchy choruses... not to mention she is absolutely GORGEOUS..
Rock and roll lives !
The fact that I didn't go see them in Vancouver the day after this is probably my biggest regret of the last year
5:25 the guitar sound, love it
Oh yea... this is like a best of the best of the best... a great live set, without all the extra distractions of a festival environment, and the great in-studio sound of KEXP. Wolf Alice rules!
Best band in the last few years hands down
With a young Thom Yorke on bass
+Xeno Tone lol that's it! his face is so familiar
+Xeno Tone and he play like Nick Allbrook from Pond (ex Tame Impala bassist)!!
+Xeno Tone Thom Yorke from The Bends era!
+fhmx lx Looks like 2 Meter Sessies Thom, Bends era indeed.
Haha! Close enough.
Giant Peach is fucking awesome!
My new favorite song!!
YEP ! One of their best.
I feel weird nostalgia when I listen to them.. I absolutely love this band
❤❤ me too!
That's because they remind you of Pixies, Sonic Youth, Hole... '90s nostalgia. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure I'm not.
i love the notes she sings in the second one that second tune is really got me
J'ai découvert ce live on KEXP récemment ( 20/01/2023) et je suis subjugué par la qualité musicale de Wolf Alice, bénéficiant ici d'une prise de son exceptionnellement bonne. (Marque de fabrique de KEXP). J'ai écouté d'autres live de ce groupe et n'ai pas retrouvé les mêmes sensations. La fraîcheur et la beauté de Ellie Rowsell est ici un atout considérable. Tous les musiciens sont parfaits avec une mention particulière pour le batteur et le bassiste. A écouter en boucle pour découvrir toutes les subtilités des quatre morceaux interprétés ici !!
My god,what a great band.
such a great band easily turning into a fave ..
+Mike Downes yes.. see them live if you havent. that put them on top for me. they were close before but once i saw them it was like yep, these guys are boss.
+miked4309 i saw them at Reading in 2015 and now seeing them again at Glastonbury this year!
when ellie went crowd surfing? have fun. im jealous. they played in the states last night but i decided to go see a band tonight. just b/c the venues. i would rather see them in a smallish club then be in the nose bleeds sitting down a mile away. LOL
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE THEM!
She's amazing
Another home run performance on KEXP. Almost want to move out there just to have this radio station locally.
She gives me the chills in a good way
I've found my scene definatel
Tell you what's cool: the gap great music closes. So I'm an old Metalhead from the 80's, the hard stuff, a guitar player, shred. I dig a ton of music tho. My son is 15 and loves Wolf Alice as much as I do. This band is hot af.
boy girl and a dad You should take your son to see them live!. My son is 17 and is a big fan (your loves whore is his fave), we went to see them in Chicago in March, it was his first ever show, met the band afterward, it was a great bonding moment and a memory he will have for life!
What an absolutely wonderful channel fuelled by absolutely wonderful people.
she grabs you by the throat and never let's go with here voice
Yikes
I prefer there live sound much more than their album.
same here albums too clean
I agree!
Absofuckinglutely
No need to swear..."Absolutely" is a common word of pointlessness. Fucking politicians word. Let me be absolutely clear about that! Massively good band.
You are delusional. They studio albums sounds PERFECT and her voice sounds a lot weaker when live.
Reminds me of late 90s alternative, but newer, fresh, and totally awesome!
This lead guitar has some killer tones! Nice band!
He's obviously a fan of Thurston Moore.
KEXP always has stellar mixes of their live bands.
I just... can't stop watching.
2:55 I love ellie so much.
fffffFINALLY I FOUND A NEW BAND TO LISTEN TO
I love Ellie's Tele. Can't wait to go see them in April.
I love her hair
Full on crush confirmed...
Holy hell, i'm enchanted. They are REALLY good. Perfectly fuzzy and groovy simultaneously.
Brilliant production work on this session.. The mix is spot on..
The just got another new fan today. Loved it. And kinda remind me of The Duke Spirit
Cedar Sun agreed!
Ditto! The Duke Spirit rocks and Leyla is super down to earth :)
I think I know what it is I like about this band..........every damn thing! Every song makes me want to break out in my old hippie dance. Good job Wolf Alice!
They all look so young in this :D
KEXP forever and ever amen! And one of the drummer's sticks at the end shows the reason behind the "O.o" face of the host, they did blow his mind! =D
I really love KEXP!! Please dont stop the music!!
right!!!
i already have my tix to see them next april....counted the days.
+miked4309 amazing show.
for once in my life, i went back and made sure i liked this because it was that good.
insanely good i came back again.
So good to see them on KEXP! UK love ☔️
I can't stop watching... this band is amazing!
Oh thank god. A new awesome band from Britain. We still rock!
please stay as you are . you are a great band , fantastic music and with a nice personality
Going to see them tonight at The Crocodile! Can't wait!
Love how he break his drum stick during Giant Peach! What a TUNNNNEEEE!
Moaning Lisa Smile 0:15 Your Love's Whore 2:47 Fluffy 10:00 Giant Peach 12:35
current fav...thanks kexp
a sound that just grows on you......................especially
man, I could just listen to this forever. What a fantastic band!
absolutely brilliant , as they say over the pond , wow, they were even better here than the previous recorded spots on you tube , fantastic band , and they are just getting started , i'm gonna try to get my son to download some of their songs for me ,i tried the record store , and not yet , i can't wait that long , i have to hear them in my car now !!!
I saw them in stl last year and they were so down to earth, they sat outside with me and my dad and talked. it was funny cause a car hit a pole and sped off and Theo whipped around and was like, i hope it's (usa) not all like this! haha but anyway, yeah they were great and they signed a bunch of stuff and seeing them was really great! I got to see the wombats in 2013 at pops for three bucks!! I love catching bands in their first years!!!
Addicting music.
Nearing a million views!
New favorite band, thanks KEXP
Can't get enough of this band! They are going places - just watch. What makes them great is the massive rhythm section. The sonic palette here is off the chart. A very talented group of musicians. Really interesting music that is at once accessible and yet in no way formulaic. More please!
Pure primal rock!
Best band out there right now IMO
Blush is my favourite song of the last five years. I was worried they were a one trick pony. I was wrong.
On Fluffy, I've had an ewok than can't squeak as loud as her. Fantastic stuff.
i know i'm late to the wagon but just as happy to be aboard
This is a talented band. I hear influence in their music from everything hard rock, punk, pop, & 90s alternative to old country & southern rock vocals & harmonies, and they do it well. A performance to be proud of!
we can build a perfect world , i’ve got tricks , i really want to show you
Only learnt of their existence 5 minutes ago. absolutely blown away! Completely awesome!
this band takes the classic british band into the future.....absolutely amazing!
They are really great.
I discovered this band today on - believe it or not - MTV. But they're awesome!
Just. Wow!
This video is so so so so so so so so so so so so good. I cannot wait to see this band live.
I think I'm in love :) Great band. I've been waiting for their debut album for a couple of years now. So glad it's finally out :)
Yeah, I think I may have a new crush. Well rounded, not too over the top great voice.
And the fact that Thom Yorkey went back in time, bought a polka dot shirt to help out doesn't hurt.
A very tight band live.Great musicians that love making quality art. North L😊ndon gold.
omg they are AMAZING!
O.K, it's Seattle - and 1991 again !
+David Glen Lol! Yeah, I was thinking the same. Although, they also have a real 'Sonic Youth' vibe going on. But that's not a bad thing, I guess... :)
Definite Sonic Youth, Pixies, '90s vibe in general. I feel like I'm back in high school! And yes, definitely NOT a bad thing at all! :)
David Glen yeah I'm getting that vibe too.
Is it raining for 10 years again. Oh well.
Nah they're british m8
