I'm so in love with my own taste in music right now.
if this isnt a big mood
shout out to the KEXP engineers, superb levels...
every time
The consistency is amazing.
Agreed, sounds incredible. Give that man (or woman) a medal.
Good call. These always have the best sound.
hear, hear
the 17 years old dude allready look like a rocknroll legend
gab37227 looks like he came from the past and spread his awesomeness to the future
17 years old guy is a mix between Keith moon and Peter Towshend.
From the who
When Cheryl says that she's been listening the album on repeat, you KNOW that cool stuff is coming.
And that's how I've been treating their new record too: Been on repeat all month long 🔥 Complete masterpiece front to back. They're just way too damn talented 😭😭❤
The future is safe.
That is all.
You people could've told me 7 years ago...
We all know where their influences come from, but they're not copying anybody. They've created something new with old ingredients and they master their instruments. And above all, they revalorise the art of singing. Hats off to The Lemon Twigs !
Yea it’s weird I sometimes get Zappa vibes but they actually like writing lyrics
Underrated bassist, you go girl!
I'm so excited to watch this band grow.
their vision and musical choices are already so on point, its going to be good!
*+Lame guy*, Never agreed more with a youtube comment in my life. Astounding debut.
Thats what she said...
me too until I saw and heard the new lineup... I don't really like it chief
what do you think now ?
First thoughts: Beatles mixed with Beach Boys mixed with Queen plus a dash of the Who. They're on the right track!
I thought about Queen and the Beatles too, first time listening to these guys and they are great!
Little Ben Folds Five in here too
Shellz cooper s black
Results echo Todd Rungren , Van Dyke Parks, and maybe Big Star.
And 10cc for sure. Brilliant!
Man these dudes are just insanely great. 17 and 19??? Shoot...
Thats what I said.
Was like whaaaat?
fuck.
Sam Soda they are the sickest kids! I love people who love what they do so much and they are so good at it but they still have to show it as s form of release. Basically not doing for any (financial) gain. Fucking dudes
Plus J. Rado is the best and most inspiring producer/musician alive
Wow
i saw them open for sunflower bean...clearly they are talented but i thought their show was over the top like i was watching spinal tap or something with all the drum stick spinning and all. i myself prefer starcrawler's live act. a different kind of over the top.
Greatest KEXP performance of all time.
When this guy says he doesn't want to go back to school after getting to record with Foxygen Cheryl Waters has tears welling in her eyes because she's such an amazing benevolent person and this guy is so sweet and sincere.
The kid in the opening drumming is ABSOLUTELY like Keith Moon!! He just makes the same way moonie did back in the day!
Diego Felix kieth moon playing but the face of Pete Townshend. Weird
hahahah i knowwww
and townshend when he plays the guitar. he looks like a young pete.
Diego Felix even makes the same faces
Funnily enough the bassist reminds me of John Entwistle, the way she seems totally unimpressed by her surroundings
I hate how they have the experience and maturity it takes most of us decades to achieve!! The hell?? Amazing performance.
I hadn't heard of these guys before. WOW!!!!! They're great! The sound mixing in the studio is perfect. Sounds incredible.
I just love all the positive comments here on this one. This is what TH-cam should be all about.
everything is better when Cheryl is the host, far less awkward than any other host on any station
They've got the raw energy of the Ramones with the theatrical sensibility of E.L.O. or Queen...and yet it sounds fresh not retro. I hope they make lots of music in the years to come.
I'm sorry but those hipsters doesnt have the "energy of the ramones" neither the "theatrical sensibility of Queen", dude
Alan Futterweit - It's rough. At times it almost seems like it's going to fall apart. But I honestly believe there's something special here. They're young. It may take time before the act is polished enough to really shine.
The Hard Problem completely agree with you. These guys remind me of Jeff Lynne's pre ELO band "the idle race". same Beatleish tunes with great melodies and light tone
I agree with Alan. Nowhere near Ramones, LOL. Also, drummer "looks" like Keith Moon but please. That being said, I do like these kids and I hope they keep making music and grow in their style, as borrowed as it may be. I'd rather see this than some other kid pushing play on his MacBook, any day.
Its Who, man. Pure Who.
I love these guys, they're so incredible for how young they are.
Four years later after discover them, I still come here from time to time to learn from these kids. Man, they're amazing.
When The Beatles, Queen and Supertramp are becoming one. Sounds great
These lads are probably the best shit I ve heard in a reealllly long time. Listen up, the'll eat the world in a matter of seconds. You earned a fan over here.
Yeah. its about time someone good comes up and takes control over the shitty music we have today.
@@MAGNETO-i1i Amen! Enough pentatonic noodling already! :-D
I just realized how much I wish I was Cheryl Waters
Surreal, cool, refreshing, good taste, great arrangements, quality warm voices, I don't know what else can anyone ask?
My dad would love this band lol
Rip dad?
Eric Borkowski lol
My father would have liked them too. And he died aged 83 in 2004! I saw them live yesterday and the average audience age seemed to be maybe late 20s but with a scattering of people more my age (62) and I was chatting to a lady in her early 70s so the appeal is very wide I think. Quite remarkable.
Real piano makes such a difference. Great great band/performance.
They were so young here and just sound incredible. Wow!
I don't have the words to describe how much I love them. Dude, Michael is my age and is a talented musician, and I'm sitting all day in school, waiting for something to happen.
What are you waiting for? Go, follow your dreams and work hard. Talent comes with working hard. Grit is better than talent.
Don’t wait
Kexp has so many good bands that are not in the mainstream, and some that are in the mainstream. what's amazing is the variety
As a fellow long island musician, these guys are like local heroes to me. Love them so much!
Chuck. Chuck. It's Marvin - your cousin, Marvin BERRY. You know that new sound you're looking for? Well, listen to this!
Mariano Montenegro Nice reference
THIS is when the internet is amazing.
What the hell Am I seeing? Never hear before about this guys .... they are awesome!
The bass player holds the biggest guitar I've ever seen. Rad.
They're so tight! The drummer and bassist are so locked in and the lead man's voice is smooth as hell! Loved these guys from the moment I heard These Words and I Wanna Prove To You a while back. Can't wait to hear more!
So casually talented it takes my breath away.
I Wanna Prove To You 0:24
These Words 4:50
Interview 8:34
As Long As We're Together 14:41
Queen of My School 20:53
is great when I stumble upon kids that bring me hope in milllenials
These guys are doing what i wanted to do my whole life... but i gotta keep my lights on... SO I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR ME! In some crazy way... I WIN!!!!
When the music's so good, you even feel humbled by their talent...
Songlist
0:25 - I Wanna Prove To You
4:50 - These Words
14:44 - As Long As We're Together
20:50 - Queen of My School
This is just insane how these teenagers can have such a music maturity! Despite the fact that the songs are just incredibly well written they can also actually play them live like pros that would have decades of stage experience. I'm really deeply impressed and so happy to discover such a band! I can't wait to see you live in Paris in 2 months guys!
kinda shocking when the drummer spoke and he didn't have a british accent
I honestly expected all of them to have a thick British accent. They look like a 70s British rock band.
sashwap lmao
Easy tiger,I hope you're not implying there's something bad about looking like a British band from the 70's!
Dude looks like Keith moon he should talk like him too
HAHAHA YES SAME
This version of I wanna prove to you tho
My heart is glowing.
when i die, i want to come back as cheryl waters.
The Lemon Twigs "Do Hollywood" album is one of the best from 2018.
It came out in 2016 bro
That bass player makes those bass riffs seem easy and using a plectrum (pick) a la Carol Kaye.
Sounds like a damn record. Incredible material.
I thought these guys were just another, off-the-shelf band, and initially dismissed them, but having listened to the album, I can confirm I am a convert. Some people are drawing parallels with other bands, Beach Boys, The Band etc. I can see what they're saying, but I think this sound is just completely different. It's a weird mix of styles with a kind of misdirection which keeps you on your toes. Class. I don't think they're going to massive, not that they're not good, but that the plebs that direct and shape musical fashions just won't get it. Shame on them.
Queen of my School, awesome track. 4ad did good
The bass player is so dreamy, the drummer too.
I’m loving this bands style! ( we need music!) ❤
Are they all characters in a Wes Anderson movie?
no u weren't
Maybe they are hybrid off spring of big daddy Alex Chilton.
BillyPilgrim LMAO
good catch...
oh no, they are from Velvet Goldmine for sure kkk
This band gives me hope that music is not dead yet.
Jakub Urbánek if you're subscribed to kexp you would know music is still amazing
Tis important to remember that music is ALWAYS alive. The radio and tv are the venues that are often without soul.
That said this band still set's itself apart. I'm severely impressed.
Jakub Urbánek that's one of the most ignorant statements ever.
There is so mucg great music now a days.
I love how they switch halfway through and he just puts the guitar super low in comparison to his brother. Both such original talents, can't wait to see these guys grow!
I smiled so hard throughout the whole video
Brilliant! The LT´s are a new discovery for me and giving me faith again in the power of pop!
I discovered the Lemon Twigs in 2018 on 100.3 The Sound.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Lemon Twigs
Discovered this guys just today. This is what I've been looking for. Lovely!
Holy fuck, these guys are awesome, already in love with their music, I want to go in 2050 and listen to their discography!
I feel that Cheryl does an exemplary job coaxing great performances from musicians, not easy to host a live music show and actually add value.
Listening to "I wanna prove to you" over and over again, I still can't believe these guys were in their late teens composing and recording this. They already showed the world a fully matured musical style from the debut onwards. I love these guys equally to my other favs Beatles, Skyclad, The Byrds, Kula Shaker and the Who.
Great pop tunes. Why havent I heard of them before :( we need more radio stations playing music like this
oh my god they're even better live than i ever imagined
Of course, bassist and the piano man keeping it all together. I'm a believer!
I love The Lemon Twigs. I love Cheryl.
This video is wholesome bliss for me.
12:42 Wait a minute they're still in SCHOOL
RIGHT!?
Amazing stuff here. I really hope they do not implode before they mature because they have something going on.
Kevin Suggs is an audio god
best band in the country. dude spins his stick @3:46 mid fill, never seen that before. What? drum ideas that haven't been done before. holds his sticks like Keith moon, looks cool as hell. I'm sold.
Zachary Hollander see GVF🌹
This is the fucking best.
mindblowing
Been listening to this album non stop since the album dropped!
There's a part of me that doesn't want to admit that these teenagers are making the best alt-pop music since The White Album. But that part of me is smothered in the beauty of these fucking gorgeous songs!
Can't believe I've never heard of these guys. Fantastic!
Wow. These guys are incredible. Never heard them before and they just kicked my ass...
It's insane how young these dudes are.
Megan the Bassist mouths I love you in the first interview
13:31 That was adorable
Are Brian and Megan dating?
Making classic music fresh ..
So cool to see them talking about go to school years before release
This is such an underrated kexp live gem. One of the best in my opinion.
You might like a band called The Doublejumps if you like Lemon Twigs
Agreed
Love this band! Heartens back to my youth back in the 70’s, and even retro days before, such a varied sound.
I'm so fucking high and this music is incredible.
hahahahha
Lemon twigs are a walking Oldies stations
what??? wow!! this is pure amazingness...
...love you guys. Hope you'll come to germany one day..!
Finally they played in KEXP
The are simply awesome
17 and 19 and that talented. Nuts
Perfect! Wow! Thank you for your music!!!!!
Love these very talented kids. Can't stop listening.
Got that queen vibesss. They are GREAT !
My hope in music just went up a little, I'm so glad. 😁
One thing I have noticed about the Lemon Twigs that I have not seen since the 60s: growth. Massively fast growth and a desire to keep growing.
Four lads from Liddypool went from Love Me Do to I Am the Walrus in five years. Brian and Michael come the closest to that phenomenal morphing.
these guys are off the fucking chain. this gives me faith in new music
THEY ARE FUCKING AMAZING!!!!!
these boys are gonna do big things
i'm speechless wow
The Lemon Twigs are a best group
They sound better live, amazing
