It's a G&L ASAT Classic - the guitar Leo Fender made after leaving Fender, essentially the next stage in the evolution of Teles and yeah, they sound absolutely amazing.
Listening to James change it up and just having fun with it, really cool. It makes it so much more worth it to see them perform live, and the recordings are just a bookmark to the transformative, where they will go.
Love NPR Tiny Desk I always discover new favorite music from here and now Yard Act has joined that list. Love the themes and sound and the smooth awesome beats & vocals very Cake meets Tune Yards meets LCD Soundsystem imo.
Definitely my fav "Act" of 2023. The fact that these guys have carved out such an instantly recognizable style - yet no two songs sound alike blows my mind. 🤯
TH-cam's recommendation engine brought me here... and it's like one of the first times I've ever thought "omg, THANK YOU, recommendation engine... this is GREAT!"
Thank you, NPR. This is great! Seen these guys a couple times (virtually) this last week. Was already a fan, but you can really appreciate them even more in a live setting. Cheers
This is wild. I just heard this band a few days ago on CPR (Colorado public radio) and really dug their sound. Then bame here they are on TD, love this so much! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
That 200 year old steam train worker gets such class sounds out of that telecaster

I've watched this hundreds of times already. It's my favorite thing they've ever done.
It's nearly as good as the Anker competition they won in Germany !
100% Endurance is one of my fav songs of the year so far. Existential alien-first-contact angst.
Can’t wait
Total pros, and they deliver with such suave confidence. They are on my list for bands that I must see live.

Wish I had a third of James' charisma
It’s like a blend of , and !
It’s really !
Were you going to say at least one of those is Cake?
@@julezthealien2467 I hear a little Red Hot Chile Peppers at times- They have a fresh, cool sound - but bass player is no Flea.
These boys are the gold standard live.
Alan Partridge meets John Cooper Clark meets The Fall ....
Sublime 😎👌🏼
Add Gang of Four
Seeing them in Kentish Town in December. Not been this obsessed with a band since Idles released brutalism.
I love these . I saw them 4 weeks ago tonight in Nottingham England. Tiny venue and brilliant....I'm Graham bye the way.
Hi Graham
Are you related to Steve Bytheway by any chance?
@@cmpc724 no but I know who you mean didn't he marry Lucy Azitappens ?
SET LIST
0:00 Rich
4:00 Payday
7:17 Land Of The Blind
10:42 Fixer Upper
14:50 100% Endurance
I'm a new fan of you from Marcelo Bielsa's Argentina. Thanks for the music!
Getting a real LCD Soundsystem vibe.
Love the version of Fixer upper!! Love it 😊
TH-cam's recommendation engine brought me here... and it's like one of the first times I've ever thought "omg, THANK YOU, recommendation engine... this is GREAT!"
They owe the Fall some thanks. Mark would like this
Thank you, NPR. This is great!

Totally cool! Reminds me a bit of an updated version of the Talking Heads and Cake. Love these guys!
Cake + Hip-hop / LCD
@@allelopath fair, but I would say LCD is extremely influenced by Talking Heads...so you're both correct! haha
Yard Act is so brilliant and insane..Their music speaks to me
Love these songs!!! Grooving along in Philadelphia, thanks NPR and all!
This is wild. I just heard this band a few days ago on CPR (Colorado public radio) and really dug their sound. Then bame here they are on TD, love this so much! Thank you!!! ❤️❤️
Here I am in CO and watching this randomly
The "they played it on a loop" part in 100% Endurance is brilliant! He does it live!?!?!
Thank you! Your music save my life.
All of this is brilliant but the bass on Fixer Upper is just *chefskiss*
‘Bout time!...sleaford,monkeys,cockeresque...you’ve touched me or was that just a dream?!...luv it,poetry in motion!.
Oh my god yes lad
アタシが通りすぎてきた諸々の｢音｣の現在形だな。かっこイイよ。
At first I thought he was John Cooper Clark.... Brilliant.. Both.
Refreshing.. 🕺
So ike Gang of Four & that’s a compliment totally beautiful.x
Liverpool gave the world:
John
Paul
George &
Ringo
Leeds* now give us:
Ryan
James
Sam &
Jay
*though I don't think any of them are actually from Leeds
I can’t wait I’m seeing them tomorrow night in a 600 person club in Philly ❤
This is my favorite band at the time which is now
A magical moment indeed ladies and gentlemen.
100% Endurance is the song of the 2020’s so far (for me).
I now need a G&L tele!!!
Just got into these guys from being on the FIFA soundtrack. This hit at the perfect time
Like The Gang of Four, Yard Act could only come from the UK
From the same City too, Leeds!
Oh yes..gang of 4 x
@@mandyworthington24 I find that essence rare that's what I look for!
Looking forward to seeing these guys in San Francisco next month.
You won't be disappointed.
Very, very, very, very, very good!
I absolutely love this performance.
Still watchin'
This is crazy good. Next time I hop the pond I'll have to see them! ❤🔥
You and Sleaford Mods should go on tour with LCD Soundsystem. Yer the best new band I've heard in ages.
jesus christ this is brilliant
Fantastic 🎉
Yard Act you're 'ArtistsForFuture', what ever kind of future it will be and for whom ... Rebel for life, Rebel for Love!
Over the past 10 years, even with the help of working at tower records, I've learned about different types of music and this, this is cool.🎶
Absolutely love these guys.
Thank you very much.
doesn't he want to take his coat off and stay a while? 🤣 love the vibe. very "cake goes to the UK"
Love the version of fixer upper didn't expect that
sounded like CAKE!
cut it with 100% endurance. Amazing.
Right up my alley 🔥🔥
what a beauty
They all look like Moshe Kasher variants. Good music, too.
I need this version of Fixer Upper on Spotify
I clicked on a gout advert
I’m so sorry. 😂
Please, post in Spotify this version
Enjoyed your company
veryyyy cool band
This is beautiful ❤️
These guys remind me of Audio Bullyz. Nice sound . Fresh.
Stay strong.
Loved that.
Again NPR increasing my musical portfolio
This is so satisfying.
Top, brilliant....
Love it
Good stuff. For whatever reason my mind keeps bringing me back to "B-T-K - Peppy Rock", although very different there's some similar tonality.
YES
Dope set
I love the drum beat. Yazzzzzzz
Good stuff! Love James deep voice!
This is weirdly catchy!
nice ! love yard act
Excelente 👏👏
NPR Music, we need Charlie Parr for a Tiny Desk Concert!
Wow. Pure class
The US loves YA
Courtesy of Leeds
Fixer Upper is still my fav
Add a horn and I'm hearing an English Cake. 🤔
TOTALLY
Just deadly.
Thank you Fifa
Flippin' great
Keep trying to sell this band but always seems I'm flogging my progressive dead horse south of the border
It's like John Cooper Clarke joined The Fall...
How would I describe Yard Act? How about an eclectic mash up of Franz Ferdinand, Cardiacs and The Streets! 😎
Very apt. With a pinch of LCD Soundsystem and Pulp 😎
why was I CERTAIN that it was Charlie McDonnel on the thumbnail lol
Oh my god. That name is a blast from the past!
It appears they have become rad
Winner
Totally eggcelent!
I thought this was John Dwyer for a sec lol
Anyone know what drum machine that is?
Do they have any other vids with a drum machine?
Any idea which drum machine is Jay using?
Looks like Marc Rebillet's voice
