Miku _Takanashi you very rarely hear him Described that way . In fact his musical ability is often cited as being limited. However with those limited skills he wrote some very memorable songs. In fact his technical playing skills and songwriting often play second fiddle to the drama surrounding his life, relationships and role in the "Seattle Scene" that epitomized "grunge" which is what most people are obsessed about more so than the music itself. He became an involuntary spokesman for a scene and generation in spite of his own self-admitted musical limitations and lack of desire to be famous. People have mythologized him as the saint that killed hair metal (something that everyone at the time not into that shit were thankful for) and romanticized his music/life. Kurt would be the first to agree with your assessment of his talent. That being said music isn't a competition so why bother comparing?
The first time I heard of Lush was about 1:30AM on a Sunday morning in March, 1991 when I awoke from a deep sleep on my couch; had the tv tuned into 120 Minutes on MTV. I thought I was dreaming while hearing this, sat up rubbed my eyes and saw these lovely girls singing this ethereal, angelic tune. I just sat there totally enraptured by the sonic blast, the jingly jangly guitars...I've never forgotten that moment.
CHECK OUT ~ "DREAM POP" 👍 & "SHOE GAZERS" 👌 I'VE GOT THEM IN MY AMAZON PLAYLISTS, THEY'RE SURE TO BE AVAILABLE ON "SPOTIFY" & OTHER MUSIC APPS 😊. I LOVE JINGLY JANGLY GUITARS 🎸 TOO + GIRLY VOCALS ❤.
As much as I love Miki and her more or less being what everyone thinks of when remembering Lush, Emma's contributions to Lush were what transformed the band into the beloved gem we all know and love now. She's an incredibly underrated guitar player (listen to Desire Lines or Never Never off Split and tell me I'm wrong). I also find that the majority of my favorite songs by Lush were written by her and not Miki. And then tragically we only ever got one song where she sang primary vocal and it was on an EP (Astronaut); it's one of the most underrated Shoegaze songs ever, much less Lush songs. The woman is essentially female Kevin Shields, she's awesome!
@@kevinshaw1387Unfortunately, I was unable to catch the Miki Bereny Trio this month when they swung through Los Angeles. However Miki’s voice is still very good.
It's still amazing how Emma and Miki still have the same connection musically. God, I was so relieved after watching this...2:49 had me sold. Plus, it was nice seeing dude on Bass again with these two fine ladies. The drummer isn't a slouch either. I really enjoyed watching this again....I just wish this team stayed together...
One of my absolute favorite bands. I was lucky enough to see them in Chicago in the early '90s, they were incredible. This is one of my favorite songs ever by anyone. To put this in perspective, I have nearly 60,000 songs in my iTunes library in a wide variety of genres and have a record collection dating from 1964.
@@johnIZaUWL I saw them just before this in Detroit and was so stunned that I drove into Chicago and scalped tickets to the Chicago show. Amazing. The double bill of Lush and Ride is still top 5 ever.
i saw Lush at Manchester Academy a couple of days ago. An incredible performance! I loved every second of the gig. Cheers to Lush! They need to stay together, don't Split! They had another album in them for sure
We are so lucky to see them together even though it was brief. I'm happy they were able to play together once again. I fear this is the last time but at least we were alive to see them healthy and echoing our songs we've never forgotten! Love and Peace Miki, Emma and the band.
WOW. Flanger heaven! Yeah, this song still makes the soul sparkle, shimmer, and shatter...over 30 YEARS later. I saw this band in 1991-1992 with Ride (another fantastic band) at the Edge in Palo Alto. Easily the best live performance I have ever seen.
MY GIRLS ARE BACK also KCRW I love you to bits and pieces but no shots of Emma's hands?! - never mind, there they are wayy in during the solo. Awesome!
I can't believe how I missed this amazing song + band when it was out first time around...trying to catch up on all the great music I missed. [el'sda2].
I saw this band at DV8 in SLC in the mid-nineties. The thing that astounded me about this band was how tight they were. they seriously sounded like a studio recording. Rarely I see a band that can pull that off. And her voice sounded like some sort of wood wind instrument perfectly played. They were great.
I was almost exclusively into extreme metal during the early 90s. I heard some songs from Spooky played on a local college radio station, however, and found them so infectious and mesmerizing that I had to go out and buy the CD, an effort which I regarded at the time as quite a risk since it was so different from the Carcass and Obituary that was my typical record-buying fare. I purchased Split and Gala on CD by the late 90s, then the Mad Love and Scar EPs earlier this decade (2010s) as digital downloads from Amazon.
This takes me back 30 odd years....I still prefer the early Lush stuff.....Miki was my rockstar crush back in the day..... Emma Anderson's phaser....Hell yeah !!! As for the harmonising......lovely !!!
Sounds great, but it seems weird to see Miki with black hair rather than the bright red hair we all remember. Got a bit of a Chrissie Hynde vibe going on, which is still totally cool. Like I say, sounds fantastic, and I like that for the last few years we have had one big Shoegaze reformation a year. MBV re-emerged in 2013, Slowdive in 2014, Ride last year, Lush this year (Which I totally called, incidentally)... Who could be next?
It's absurd how Emma Anderson's name gets ignored in every music magazine discussion about great guitar players. She's amazing.
That's what I have been saying. One of the best songwriters and guitar players and yet so underrated.
I know. She only went and wrote some of the greatest songs, ever.
But you can find Kurt Cobain qualified as a great guitarist... a joke
Thank you! She's definitely underrated. She also made some great music outside of Lush. Absolutely love her songwriting and guitar work.
Miku _Takanashi you very rarely hear him

MTV’s 120 Minutes and VH1’s Crossroads were like college radio stations, often showing videos of soon-to-be popular artists.
CHECK OUT ~
"DREAM POP" 👍
&
"SHOE GAZERS" 👌
I'VE GOT THEM IN MY AMAZON PLAYLISTS, THEY'RE SURE TO BE AVAILABLE ON "SPOTIFY" & OTHER MUSIC APPS 😊.
I LOVE JINGLY JANGLY GUITARS 🎸 TOO + GIRLY VOCALS ❤.
I had a similar experience with Slowdive! I woke from a sleep and heard Catch the breeze. Now they are my favourite band
I had some moments like that too. fell asleep listening to local college station and wake up to a new band that made me think i was dreaming.
I remember 120 minutes! ♥️ Those were the days!
i appreciate that they used the same guitars from the 90s
15 year old me had a huge crush on Miki. They still sound great. Thank you KCRW for uploading this.
Me too lol
50yr old me still does
I’m 18 and I do lol
49 yo me does still. Read her book. Excellent
And plays a twelve string….👌
One of my fondest memories is hearing this song on 120 Minutes for the first time..It was an awaking.
Same. The video looked so lo-tech as well, which I thought was part of the band's initial charm.

can't believe Miki and Emma still have their wonderful voices. Bravo to KCRW for posting this.
7 years ago..but I'm sure they still do
Ok I see your comments 4 years ago..lol
@@kevinshaw1387Unfortunately, I was unable to catch the Miki Bereny Trio this month when they swung through Los Angeles. However Miki’s voice is still very good.
this was a good era for indie music
missingno Shoegaze... The scene that celebrates itself.
they still sound good after all those years off.
Life is sad. People get old, but their music is still great.
I honestly think they sounded better than ever! Terrific drumming too
Agreed...It’s very complex
@@andrewcounts7136 It isn't though.
@@mikemccaine4229 That kick drum is doing 16ths hits ... you can?
@@RideAcrossTheRiver Of course!
@@RideAcrossTheRiver the kick drum is doing 1/8's in the middle 8.even easier...
I never tire of listening to this song.
Such a badass beat. 1990 in the UK was an unforgettable year....
Their vocal harmonies are nothing short of angelic. Probably the gentlest voices I've ever heard.
Rachel Goswell circa ‘94 has entered the chat
But Miki and Emma slash away at those chords and it's a joy to hear.
I REALLY MISS THE 80s&90s MUSIC SCENE....😢
Check out the band A Reminder from LA th-cam.com/video/UpsWhj7bN_Q/w-d-xo.html
It's still amazing how Emma and Miki still have the same connection musically. God, I was so relieved after watching this...2:49 had me sold. Plus, it was nice seeing dude on Bass again with these two fine ladies. The drummer isn't a slouch either. I really enjoyed watching this again....I just wish this team stayed together...
(re:2.49) Yes great transition, more dramatic than in the original version I think.
Unfortunately no longer!
Phil King on bass

i saw them in the early 90s chicago too. at the Vic?
blair lafferty it was the Metro Easter weekend WITH RIDE remember?!?
@@johnIZaUWL I saw them just before this in Detroit and was so stunned that I drove into Chicago and scalped tickets to the Chicago show. Amazing. The double bill of Lush and Ride is still top 5 ever.
one of the most bewitching guitar leads ever! ;-)
Still one of the coolest songs I’ve ever heard
Wow! They still sound great. Can you imagine these lady's being one of your mom???
@ - Ok...................
StocktonNative 209 woah
@ I have the feeling that quite a few guys did. After all, she was a hypocrite.
Two angelic voices.
So good to watch them playing together even if it is a while ago now and Justin is such a solid drummer
i saw Lush at Manchester Academy a couple of days ago. An incredible performance! I loved every second of the gig. Cheers to Lush! They need to stay together, don't Split! They had another album in them for sure

You gave us all what we wanted. Fantastic song. Well done. Long live LUSH!!!
omg....the goosebumps not felt for decades have returned. Thank you!
So happy to see this band playing again. Loved this band for years
Fresh Sound. This band seems like a Gem from the late 80s and 90s.
Twenty years and a long break later, and they still sounded great. Yes, everyone looks older, but that's twenty years passing and it happens.
Luckily good music is timeless and doesn’t know age 🖤
All these years later, I still love this band!!! ❤
First Avenue in Minneapolis '94..great show then, great show now...Lush is so very Lush!
WOW. Flanger heaven! Yeah, this song still makes the soul sparkle, shimmer, and shatter...over 30 YEARS later. I saw this band in 1991-1992 with Ride (another fantastic band) at the Edge in Palo Alto. Easily the best live performance I have ever seen.
LOved this track as a teenager,46 now still love it!
Love this band and era...digging out my Rollerblades tomorrow...Denver boy
Emma is a guitar genius
Miki's 12-string is the foundation of Lush's sound.
This is the jam from the VW Passat commercial in the 90's. Sunday night at the Fonda was thee best night of my life.......Forever LOVE LUSH!!!! :)
Gorgeous great comeback so wish they had done an album
Still one of the best bands ever!
KCRW always has great studio performances & sound production!
All these years later and just awesome!
Such a welcome return, it's great to see them playing again.
still love this song
one of the best performances I've seen, much more experienced and better quality of sound
perfect song from a perfect time
Is that Justin from Elastica on drums?
2:50 I Love That Sound! 👍🎵😎
Saw them in Detroit in the early 90's....this song just stood out for me. Absolutely love it, to this day.
Beautiful song.I absolutely love this one.Great drumming.Miki is still as hot as she has ever been.
So cool and great to see them back at it...! They have been missed... Look forward to hopefully seeing more.
Awesome! They sound as good as the did back in the day!
Que Temazo!! Bravo Lush!👏👏
Me encanta esta banda, su sonido es increíble, las voces, sus guitarras
Absolutely fantastic.Thank you for this.
Just brilliant.
Absolutely fantastic.
❤ them so much
Some double snare wizardry at work here
The double snare caught my eye too lol
Still simply awesome 👌
They sound just like they did in the 1990's. Bravo!
What a treat just wonderful artist! 🇬🇧
Wonderful!
MY GIRLS ARE BACK
also KCRW I love you to bits and pieces but no shots of Emma's hands?! - never mind, there they are wayy in during the solo. Awesome!
That was amazing!
I can't believe how I missed this amazing song + band when it was out first time around...trying to catch up on all the great music I missed. [el'sda2].
thanks babies for the years
A great era for indie music.
Man,time flies a generation ago already.
Cheers for the upload.
Still awesome after all these years.
Still have a fresh sound and a great drummer
Uma das melhores músicas da minha vida.
so glad I got to see them this month, still my favorite band
Love this song! Excellent drumming!
awesome
Love it
Loved them both great jam session
They’ve aged a lot, but their sound didn’t at all. Amazing. It brings me back to the 90s…
I saw this band at DV8 in SLC in the mid-nineties. The thing that astounded me about this band was how tight they were. they seriously sounded like a studio recording.

Bad ass band bad ass drummer
I was going to say, this is a great drummer, so much energy. Really holds the whole thing together.
wow!
You go girl! Super! Well done. Loved this song back in the day.
Simplemente maravilloso :D
holly shit. ...i wasnt expecting that. actually it sounds great.
I STILL LOVE MIKI
epic live performance
They sound amazing..the new drummer is wonderful
I was almost exclusively into extreme metal during the early 90s.

perfection
Great then.
Great now.
Нет слов, как отлично!
I think it’s fantastic that we’re all way cooler than our children lol
drummer still has it, guitarist too. Slowdive, Lush, Chapterhouse and Ride for me epitomize Shoegaze.
This takes me back 30 odd years....I still prefer the early Lush stuff.....Miki was my rockstar crush back in the day.....
Emma Anderson's phaser....Hell yeah !!!
As for the harmonising......lovely !!!
They might not be prodigies on their instruments, but they definitely have a trademark sound!
PIXX &M83 ZOUNDS niece nice....i humbly purchased your EP in Hawaii in 90 and was very fond ever-after....T'was Brillig!!!! Diolch n' Vawr
their music is timelessly beautiful. that said they were struggling to acheive the vocal harmonies that they used to do so well.
fekkin phenomenal performance. Miki sounded great
underrated
Ah my youth!
Sounds great, but it seems weird to see Miki with black hair rather than the bright red hair we all remember. Got a bit of a Chrissie Hynde vibe going on, which is still totally cool.
Like I say, sounds fantastic, and I like that for the last few years we have had one big Shoegaze reformation a year.
MBV re-emerged in 2013,
Slowdive in 2014,
Ride last year,
Lush this year (Which I totally called, incidentally)...
Who could be next?
and tanya donelly's band belly reformed this year and toured this summer ;-0
the next is Oasis... i hope
swervedriver in 2015 too, hopefully galaxie 500 next or lilys
Catherine Wheel.
Catherine Wheel.
Wow !!!!
Great alt band.
