The first time I saw this video was when I was in high school, the season was autumn. At that time, I caught a cold, so I left school early and was watching TH-cam on my bed at home, and I found this video in the recommended videos. I was intrigued by the grainy image, and when I opened it, I was greeted by the energy of young people and gentle music like a picture book. Since then, I've been watching this video from time to time, and every time I see it, it reminds me of that warm, fluffy feeling that's peculiar to having a cold.
Did you take cough medicine. I realized a lot of those very specific experience in retrospect are traced to being on DXM from cold medicine. (I realized this through doing higher doses on purpose and realizing "oh shit is this why i had mystical experiences when i was sick sometimes?" I always thought it was fever dreams but the DXM was involved for sure.
I agree they have really good energy. And surprisingly despite the low audio quality of this video. I feel like some of that energy translates better here compared to some of the recordings.
@BitsofParrots Toe is incredibly melodic. Yeah, the drummer is pretty much the epitome of all things good and pure in this universe, but the rest of the band has a perfect way of absorbing it all in a cotton ball full of the catchiest tunes you could ever pull into a syringe and shoot into your earballs for your weak little mind to get hooked to. What? I'm willing to risk prison time for a dose if I had to, that shit is fire. Of course, it can't be compared to that Piglet video up there. I have to come back to it once in a while to watch what looks like FUCKING KIDS create music that contains enough greatness to explode stars. I don't know how they do it. I don't even know what they're doing. It slightly resembles a half forgotten acid trip where 3 ninjas jumped into heaven and spin-kicked God in the face. But every time I watch this, I'm pleasantly satisfied. Kudos Piglet, kudos.
ahhh my god whyy did piglet break up! their music is so unique, it has a dreamy, euphoric feel that i cant get over. i really wish they had more songs. so much talent!
i cant even explain the goosebumps i get EVERYTIME i put this video on..i didnt think it was possible for a band to be THIS good. hands down, my favorite experimental band of all time. FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!!
Archipiélagos, cisne, bridges and Knights; y hay algunos más. Argentina es un país grande, tiene cositas interesantes en la escena underground. Acá cómo mucho encontrás a gente haciendo un poco de reggae.
This is one of the few visual shreds of evidence of how badly this Chicago band (that broke up way too early) shreds. Now... Where is a Colossal video?

The guy in the corner trying to act cool next to the girl still cracks me up
Fat Justin Long?
VICEGIRLS lmao he looks so awkward
looks like (sandy) Alex G
about as cool as trying to smoke a ciggie whilst drumming! great vid though.
Boidink Twistie are you saying that WASN'T cool? Do you know exactly how badass that is?
shoutouts to the drummer for keeping the cigarette in his mouth the whole time!
Everything in this video is amazing, the music, the frat boy vibes and the flannel. Even featuring the classic red plastic cup. RIP Piglet
these are drunk hipsters not frat boys
Still can't believe this video exists
that guy smokes cigarette.
sorry,one cool dude in a beanie smokin a ciggy permitted to each party brah

please dont ever let this video die
bass player and drummer seem to be in clear violation of the flannel shirt policy.
The drummer is so fucking beast, words seriously can't describe it.
I genuinely wish this band would make an album every year. Incredible energy and feel.
they broke up like a long time ago
+Heytheresailor I know but I just wish that they could still come together to carry on making albums. Every song they do is golden.
I agree they have really good energy. And surprisingly despite the low audio quality of this video. I feel like some of that energy translates better here compared to some of the recordings.
These dudes went to my high school. I remember I saw them a long time ago at some church basement in Lake Forest? Any1 else at that show?
This is a math rock classic.
not surprising that most replays is on that sick drum fil at 0:52
drummer kills it.
this is like the curly afro convention XD love you guys :D
+10thlevel80 Welcome to Highland Park
+Captain Funk Was this shot in HP? Asking bc i'm from there. And yes can confirm the abundance of curly afros
+Captain Funk Was this shot in HP? Asking bc i'm from there. And yes can confirm the abundance of curly afros
it is a crime against humanity that these guys only made one album
check out 2013 and 2014 releases

ahhh my god whyy did piglet break up! their music is so unique, it has a dreamy, euphoric feel that i cant get over. i really wish they had more songs. so much talent!
it would be nice to find musicians like this where i live.
still magnificently flawless to this day
Wow, these guys are actually pretty damn good. They need to send out much praise to their drummer, dude can def. keep a groove! Nice!
I miss you boys so much.
I'm watching this at a time when me visiting a gig like this in real life is pretty much impossible but I'm loving every second of the video aha
This is easily one of my favorite videos of all time.
A legend
0:46 is the sickest drum groove ever.
Guitar player became a doctor, he's a surgery resident: www.henryford.com/hcp/med-ed/residencies-fellowships/hfh/surgery/residents
I heard he’s a neuro surgeon. Imagine your surgeon mentioning he used to make music and you find out it slapped this hard hahah
That is one great band, no one is lacking
This vid is legendary.
This popped up on my recommended videos today. Wild. Good stuff.
Piglet forever!
sup y'all. still love these guys :3
Thank you Piglet
Después de 10 años los encontré ❤❤❤😢 amo esta canción
I don't know how many times I've watched this video
so damn good
What I would give to see them live at least one more time...
to this day i have never figured out what guitar asher is playing
Looks like a Gibson
i cant even explain the goosebumps i get EVERYTIME i put this video on..i didnt think it was possible for a band to be THIS good. hands down, my favorite experimental band of all time. FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!!
These guys are tight AF
This is the best video ever. Wish I had more of their music.
Such bosses, it's hard to split the bass from the guitar they work so well together anyone ever tabbed this stuff out?
this is a timeless video for me
Wanna be on this kind of stuff here on Argentina, oh man, tired of post-hardcore wannabe scene, this is what I need
Archipiélagos, cisne, bridges and Knights; y hay algunos más.
Argentina es un país grande, tiene cositas interesantes en la escena underground. Acá cómo mucho encontrás a gente haciendo un poco de reggae.
Evans Evans Buenísimo! Solo conocí a Hungría, no sabía de esas...gracias man, buena ondaaa! la movida math esta creciendo bastante en Argentina
+Some kind of Human no olvides a dislexia free!
Pench Que lindo tantos comentarios en castellano en esto c':
jaja posta que Hungria suena parecido; al igual que Archipiélagos. Se activó mucho el math/emo en arg, re buena onda
I'm from Brazil, and the sound of these boys is one of my sound inspirations!
Oh how i wish i couldve heard them in person
drums are soo sick.....
colossal is too sick

These are the friends I want.

"Colossal, American Football, Ghosts and Vodka, Piglet, Owls..."
What are bands that ended way too early for $1,000, Alex?
Ahhh, remember when Amem Foofboof was a fondly-remembered band that "ended too soon..."
damn this is so good
I really wish this was a "pro" shot video because I've been trying to figure out how to play it for like a week.
From Russia with love!!!
@closedmouth No even a full album, an EP at that!
awesome!
weird beer move at 1:54
Wow, looks like the clone machine's working. Stomping on my boy's bug to this for EONS
Flannels need to be popular again.
from the looks of it a Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway with p-90s
nice jams
Wow!
lmao the beatles
god, why did they break up? they could have been the best math rock band out there
This is one of the few visual shreds of evidence of how badly this Chicago band (that broke up way too early) shreds.
Now... Where is a Colossal video?
@arvizumiguel90
their music is also listen in latvia :))
how many double cutaway style guitars has this video sold
wow...
ihave3pennies, can you elaborate on what the members of the band are up to?? i loved the lava land record
fucking epic.
Man I wish you guys still made music, you have no idea... :'(
hairy gooch
Piglet 🧠💣🤘
@federicomenjurje this was like 6 years ago. this type of music is so outplayed now. piglet and volta do mar where the last greats imo
you should check out giraffes? giraffes! theres only two of them and theyre insane
@ninjafrank1337 okay so maybe there were only like 4 people with flannels but they were all in the front
@MoshMage hell yes, tape it XD
The older I get the more Tweez-era Slint I hear in this. Alot happier though.
ok but where is the footage from the homie to the rights vx1000?
