The way DJ just lets the others speak without forcing his message, is exactly why I love his drumming. He drums the exact same way, super disciplined, humble and in the pocket. Absolutely love these 3 for everything they are and offer
And that is EXACTLY the way he plays too - so gracious and amazing. Also when he speaks, you LISTEN - because it ALL makes sense. He is the embodiment of the Eckhart Tolle quote: Work hard in silence, let success be your noise.
My 24 year old son just told me about this band last night. I was hooked in 5 seconds. Very special something. I love also how they didn't come from pedigree bloodline bs, just 3 folks with a heart and soul for music. That's cool. 12 hours later I'm already slightly obsessed and really inspired to learn to play music myself. Never too late. God bless everybody.
We are so lucky that this younger generation dig and make this kind of music so in tune with us 70's creatures. I think I discovered this band on my own through Spotify, not sure, maybe it was my son. Hooked instantly. Love these guys, love to work in my jewelry studio listening to their riffs and licks.
Omg...i'm from Suriname...never expected to hear my countries name from one of my fave band... usually no one knows where Suriname is..seems like its a small world after all...bless and love from Suriname..soso lobi💜💜💚💚
I'd never heard of these guys until my dog came in one night with a USB memory stick in his mouth and when listened to what was on it I discovered it was all their music, I've been hooked ever since!
I haven't liked a band this much in a long time. Such likeable people. I totally get what mark was saying about songs in other languages. And cows are amazing! They love tunes!
Laura is so humble when talking about her bass-playing. Homegirl got more chops than 1000 knives in a Gordon Ramsey kitchen!!! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!
Just been listening to them, definitely these guys have got the vibe.They just Gel together so well.Just a good advert for for getting together and making music with your mates.
there's a lot of gold in this interview, but I really like how Mark espouses the importance of healthy eating, in lieu of quick fix fast food when you're stressed, or burdened with a struggle such as being out on the road or performing. There is a correlation between a healthy body and a healthy mind. Solid
I heard Maria Tambien playing in a gas station bathroom and immeditatly connected to the beauty of the song. Led me through a rabbit hole and im currently obsessed with this band!!! Such beautifiul souls with immense talent.
Just discovered these 3 yesterday, their tiny desk performance randomly came on while I was cleaning and I stopped soon as I heard white gloves as was like what wait WHO ARE THEY .. been running thru their whole catalog since and I’m excited for their new album, I really discovered them at the perfect time
I love this band. Just discovered them. I love the way they actually PLAY their instruments - use technology as a tool to compose with, but no loop pedals: YAY! They are the real thing. This drummer is better than any drum machine could ever, ever sound like - why? Because the sound is warm, human, real, made by human hands, spiritual. Same with the other two. No technology can ever touch that.
Love this band and their family feel. Especially, Laura Lee! Guys when you hit LA I want to take you guys all to dinner. The world needs more bands like this!
These guys are super legit; knowledgeable as phuk about incredible global music and very down to earth. I am super in love with their musical mood, wigs, the humbleness (and sex appeal) of Laura and the freedom of their ideas . I hope they don't get up their arses with their fame because the music biz needs more of this!!
It's September of 2022 and I just fell ass-backwards into this little band. I've been a practicing hard-rock guitar player for fifty years and I think they are freshest, most naturally talented musicians to come along in a long, long time.
Bands like this make me so happy. I love discovering "interesting" bands that have a sense of distinction. In a world (country) currently so seemingly bereft of hope and beauty....this helps....a lot. I love that, "....we just 1-2-3 go..." That's how most of the great songs were written. Cheers Khruangbin!
Love this band! Been hip to them since finding their music randomly on Bandcamp back in 2019. Seeing Laura going back and forth trying to figure out who to hand the mic to, reminds me of that scene in Portlandia 😂
i just get goose bumps i grew up just 120 miles from the core of this band makes me feel... in texas 120 miles is like next door .....if you get my drift .....
They are very potent and humble people and I respect Houston Texas for that. They don't come out just of their being but the upbringing helped a lot, for instance, the church. I thought I found a new foundation of my love of music.
For how different the music is, these guys really make me feel at home with all their stories about crate digging and Shazaamnig everything that’s new to them and talking to their friends about it.
Well done Mark for persuading Laura she could make it work on the bass. Everyone should find somewhere of expressing themselves through art whether it be music, painting ,writing, acting, dance or whatever. Every journey starts with the first few steps and art is a great way of expressing yourself. And Donald, great drumming in many cases isn't about speed and the technical side, it's about a solid beat and a great groove and believe you me, you've got it Donald lad. Solid clean vibes is what it's all about for me.
Omg tequila drinkers on top of it!!! My beverage du preference....holy cow. I love everything about this band...their music their vibe the barn the cows the tequila. Im in love with their eclectic aesthetic. Let’s all get funky again!!!!!!
Random inspiration for passerbys: Soil & Pimp Sessions are dang near 0 listeners on spotify. Super creative japanese jazz centric stuff. Found them and Khruangbin around the same time. These people are wonderful and inspire me to want to better myself rather than redeem myself by some standard.
Mark says it right, the 71-83 period was funky everywhere, I remember I was there (in Italy), but to experience it we recorded from the radio and made cassette tapes, or went to clubs danced to it, few people bought records. The dimension that was there was much more social than today, much less expensive. Today the ticket I can buy at your club costs 221€ and I think it is limited and not complete. Money is the difference. They are the ones we have to replace and then the funky will also come 🤔😁
The way DJ just lets the others speak without forcing his message, is exactly why I love his drumming. He drums the exact same way, super disciplined, humble and in the pocket. Absolutely love these 3 for everything they are and offer

Он очень крут, поэтому и молчелив
DJ very humble regarding his ability, his drumming isn't flashy, but he is rock. solid. and subtle as hell.
Absolutely durty
Homeboy is heavy in pocket.
He might be Russell from gorillaz brought to life. Haha. What a talent DJ is!
@@Xirsuyx "...not his muscles but percussion he provides"
it's so difficult to be like a bounded drummer, cause everyone wants to show off.
My 24 year old son just told me about this band last night. I was hooked in 5 seconds. Very special something. I love also how they didn't come from pedigree bloodline bs, just 3 folks with a heart and soul for music. That's cool. 12 hours later I'm already slightly obsessed and really inspired to learn to play music myself. Never too late. God bless everybody.
@Theresa - Cool. My 39-year-old son just told me about this band two days ago. Never too late.
We are so lucky that this younger generation dig and make this kind of music so in tune with us 70's creatures. I think I discovered this band on my own through Spotify, not sure, maybe it was my son. Hooked instantly. Love these guys, love to work in my jewelry studio listening to their riffs and licks.
@@GooDogProductions Same I manage a clothing shop and play Khruangbin any chance I get. Also would love to know if you make men's rings
Get it man, get it!!!
They’re an amazing band to say the least. I listen to them everyday hahaha they’re amazing
God literally consulted with that drummer when he invented time. He's so good
Omg...i'm from Suriname...never expected to hear my countries name from one of my fave band... usually no one knows where Suriname is..seems like its a small world after all...bless and love from Suriname..soso lobi💜💜💚💚
"we've all been funky at one point: we can be funky again."
words of wisdom
nice...
The Texas funk is strong🦾
I'd never heard of these guys until my dog came in one night with a USB memory stick in his mouth and when listened to what was on it I discovered it was all their music, I've been hooked ever since!
Your dog apparently runs in some very cool circles.
Thats like the best way to discover a band
Now that's wild.
Please create a sitcom.
No fucking way?? I love your dog please I hope he is doing amazing
"Everybody was funky at one time, let's get funky again" - a quote for the ages
Mark is a smooth operator.
I haven't liked a band this much in a long time. Such likeable people. I totally get what mark was saying about songs in other languages. And cows are amazing! They love tunes!
Perhaps you would love also a band called Dungen if you don't already know them :) !!! Peace
@@palmtreesheart8887 why would you even mention that??? No, there's nothing like it!!!!
Right... Idk if it's the fact that I'm a Texan too so I can relate to their chill personas and southern attitude.
Correct! The reason for that is all that Jesus, Holy Spirit and God in their hearts!!
Christian's.
Holy shit the drummer CAN smile!! :D
Thank God for Khruangbin!
organized religion*
AMEN!
Amen
Praise da goood brovah praise da cheeeses!! Hallelujah!
God is a DJ. God wears a wig.
i love the guitarist advocating not drinking or doing drugs on stage but eating healthy and doing yoga
The Jesus dude is chill AF. He'd be cool to hang out with.
When I die, I want to be reincarnated as a cow at their ranch.
Haha 😆
That's the best compliment ever
Laura is so humble when talking about her bass-playing. Homegirl got more chops than 1000 knives in a Gordon Ramsey kitchen!!! Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt!!!!!
She has NO chops. But she's got more pocket that 20 pair of pants.
@@raymondwelborne4998 Lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 now that's actually the drummer though.
nah
Yuhhhhhh
what a bunch of cuties, i just want to give them a squeezie hug, they are so grounded and special
Just been listening to them, definitely these guys have got the vibe.They just Gel together so well.Just a good advert for for getting together and making music with your mates.
It's so reinvigorating to see this: 3 friends who love the music they make together, and love each other.
A recipe for true soul expression.
One of the few times you begin to like a band *even more* just hearing them talk. Super down to earth and chill. Just like their music
“We’ve all been funky before. We can be funky again.”
Heads nodding in agreement.
Gotta love Laura's pure vibe and energy!
And she’s a smoke show
there's a lot of gold in this interview, but I really like how Mark espouses the importance of healthy eating, in lieu of quick fix fast food when you're stressed, or burdened with a struggle such as being out on the road or performing. There is a correlation between a healthy body and a healthy mind. Solid
Interviewer asking some really good questions too!
I hope these 3 stay together at least 10 years. I'm so sick of great bands breaking up after all of their egos start to inflate.
I heard Maria Tambien playing in a gas station bathroom and immeditatly connected to the beauty of the song. Led me through a rabbit hole and im currently obsessed with this band!!! Such beautifiul souls with immense talent.
And 3 years later Paul McCartney asks them to do a cover of one of his songs - amazing.
Yup. And they make it totally different and amazing
Humble natural people - such a nice loving organic trio. Gives me faith in humanity again.
Three cool cats, great musicians and nice people
Just discovered these 3 yesterday, their tiny desk performance randomly came on while I was cleaning and I stopped soon as I heard white gloves as was like what wait WHO ARE THEY .. been running thru their whole catalog since and I’m excited for their new album, I really discovered them at the perfect time
The interviewer is really good!
I usually refrain from knowing the people in my fav bands personally but I'm pleasantly surprised with these three. God bless ya'll.
laughs at how this sentence makes me sound like I have met them...in person
Why.refrain?
I love this band. Just discovered them. I love the way they actually PLAY their instruments - use technology as a tool to compose with, but no loop pedals: YAY! They are the real thing. This drummer is better than any drum machine could ever, ever sound like - why? Because the sound is warm, human, real, made by human hands, spiritual. Same with the other two. No technology can ever touch that.
What's spiritual about not using technology?
you never play an instrument right? tecnology is for artist not for critics
Dude uses an El capistan that has a looper
A delay pedal does not record passages and loops back, rather it records a single note/attack and plays it back numerous times
Kevin Lebrun I have both a looper pedal and a delay pedal, and know the diference.
An el capistan has a looper function.
i love their relationship with each other, so genuine and warm
I love how much this band loves each other :)
21:54 DJ's view on priorities in life are spot on. very down to earth. Gotta love those three!
They all seem like just really genuine,cool people. I dig their sound. Keep going
I loved the way Mark & Laura giggled when DJ said he left the barn and "Mark and Laura just banged it out".
Ikr!
yall are beautiful people
Artist and cow friend here... yea cows are amazing. People just don’t know how cool cows are.
Why the fuck eat them then lol
These guys just seem like the most down to earth, chill musicians. I'd love to smoke a j or crack a beer with this bunch
read that as "I'd like to smoke a j or crack " and was confused
@@dylannolan7454 same
This was a great episode of Cowboy Bebop
Woah, you are on to something
Big laughs
bruh
you made my head explote
Found them a week ago, hypnotized and in love with their music and love their personalities just as much now
Love this band and their family feel. Especially, Laura Lee! Guys when you hit LA I want to take you guys all to dinner. The world needs more bands like this!
You've only been playing bass since 2010? !!!! You play with such feeling and skill, I am amazed.
She plays competently, however, Spears' showstopping guitar is obviously the focal point of the group.
mongofan1 right!!
Omg!
@@roguenation the real focal point is her hips, without a doubt
Eight years is plenty of time to get good at music man
@@jordangleave2435 A very astute observation. 😁
Laura is an amazing bass player for someone who hasn’t been playing that long. This is very inspired. :)
listening to this interview only makes me love them more
“The universe smiles upon you”
Daaaaamn my boy!!
I recently found out about this band and like their music.
Wonderful human beings. Musical ambassadors sharing their vision of the world with the rest of the world. Puree Genius!!!
DJ need a wig too
Tony D his beard is fake lol
That would be great. lol
With blonde wig
nah :P
Same joke on every Khruangbin vid.
Omg I love to hear them talk!
They are just too smooth!
Smooth like butter yes!!!
"we've all been funky at one point, we can be funky agian"
*agien
Okay okay, Now kids *agiaen
These guys are super legit; knowledgeable as phuk about incredible global music and very down to earth. I am super in love with their musical mood, wigs, the humbleness (and sex appeal) of Laura and the freedom of their ideas .

so great that bands like this still happen these days
It's September of 2022 and I just fell ass-backwards into this little band. I've been a practicing hard-rock guitar player for fifty years and I think they are freshest, most naturally talented musicians to come along in a long, long time.
Awe, the cow story! So cute! Love this band!
“Melody, bass, drums, it’s all there” 👌please 🙏🏼 I see these guys live one day ❤️

Cheers Khruangbin!
They're all such lovely, likeable people. You can hear that in their music for sure!
WOW! the more i hear and learn about these guys the more respect they earn for just being plain old cool human beings. thanks for sharing.
These two just love the microphone! It's something they hardly can share.
wonderfull band god bless you guys and lady peace
I love Donald and Laura so much! They’re both so down to earth and real. They’re so awesome ❤️❤️❤️
Love this band! Been hip to them since finding their music randomly on Bandcamp back in 2019. Seeing Laura going back and forth trying to figure out who to hand the mic to, reminds me of that scene in Portlandia 😂
Dude, this band is incredible. Just got into them.
Aw DJ, I didn't expect him to be so soft spoken
i just get goose bumps i grew up just 120 miles from the core of this band makes me feel... in texas 120 miles is like next door .....if you get my drift .....
Just saw these cats in Toronto....... incredible show great night of music !
Great band and they seem like some very interesting and nice people. It is nice when organic people make solid, organic music. May they keep it real!!
Just recently found this band. They just seem like genuine people. Refreshing.
Great interview, the guy just let them talk, and prompted them at the right moments.......
32:46 i think the name 'khruangbin' for a band is the coolest and it fits perfectly with their music. I love this band so much
These three are wholesome af. So creative and beautiful.
They are very potent and humble people and I respect Houston Texas for that. They don't come out just of their being but the upbringing helped a lot, for instance, the church. I thought I found a new foundation of my love of music.
I am enchanted by Laura! Love this band and their music, it's just, my god she's a beautiful person.
The Drummer's timing is incredible how he holds tempo. Truly a human drum machine
Hahaha! They are so funny, and I love the hair response! Very intriguing band and I love them!
It would be so awesome if Chicano batman and Khruangbin had a collab
Had the privilege to listen to Khruangbin and Chicano Batman in Atlanta, Georgia in 2017. Beautiful music! A collab would be awesome!
@@veroconpaz same in boston at paradise rock club :)
Excellent interview, Khruangbin are an amazing band!
Man...so awesome to see musicians who are excited and passionate about musical sounds from around the world!
One of the best if not the best band of the last century.
I haven't loved a band this much in a long time. Thanks for the video!

'Make me say it again' is the Isley Bros track which speeds up. Thanks for the tip guys. Great vibe
th-cam.com/video/23W3wqAvsLg/w-d-xo.html DJ even gave you the title... Geez.
A humble bunch, I just started listening to them! Wow
love these guys and their music and their journey
These guys are amazing. So honest , transparent and pure.
Great Band, Great Interview, Great Vibe
I would love to see these guys live. Total infatuation with the band. Please come to NZ!
Omg tequila drinkers on top of it!!! My beverage du preference....holy cow. I love everything about this band...their music their vibe the barn the cows the tequila. Im in love with their eclectic aesthetic. Let’s all get funky again!!!!!!

"i don't want to have to start bringing a laptop on stage man". Fuck yeah. these guys are the realest
Just found these guys on Spotify . Very likable bunch!
Great interview. No arrogance, real people only. Interviewer also great. Mostly those guys have an attitude.
enlightening interview - love these guys, cool that they use Live as well to jam and come up with ideas
