I ordered a shirt from them like 6 months ago. After a few months, it didn't come, so I commented on a post that Daniel (drummer) made in a shoegaze group and then he reached out to me and made sure it got shipped. Super nice guy.
Dude has his guitar covered with stickers for that Texas mega gas station. I went to one on a visit there, and they had like 300 gas pumps. The store itself was absolutely massive, like the size of a Walmart Superstore.
Not to be an armchair sound guy, but the mixing on this isn't that great. Guitar too soft, Alex's vocals and bass are too loud. Also what's up with the micro delay on Elliot's mic? Drums sound amazing, though!
+Japanese Shoegaze thats the way they are live. ive seen them twice and something is always squashing out the vox. NO JOY has been like that too. i dont remember if my bloody valentine sounded good live. shoegaze just does not seem to translate well. search nowhere live by ringo deathstarr on youtube and there is a sessioin that does sound good...they have a plastic wall around the drum set to blcok out noise. it sounds awesome.
+miked4309 Yeah...I live in Austin and have seen them eight or nine times. Definitely not what they sound like live. Elliot's guitar is cranked way the fuck up, the bass is a bit lower and the vox are much lower as well. And no, at least in literally none of the shows I've been to they've put a wall around the drums.
+Japanese Shoegaze It's kinda strange how KEXP always makes Ringo Deathstarr sound like crap. The last videos they posted also had mixing issues. Kinda feels like the vocals are a bit too forward, and the fact that no comp or reverb was added kinda makes Alex sound... Not that great. But then again, they're the professionals, and I'm not that great at mixing, so there's that. Oh, and I know this is a bit overdue, but thanks for posting all those records. Been a great experience man.
It's nice to see that they're actually good players. I thought her description of Pflugerville was funny. It's basically a northern suburb of Austin--definitely not in the boonies, and not quite as far as Round Rock (where the Dell computer plant is/was). I suppose if you take I-35, it could take you 40 minutes. It's only 15 minutes from downtown, though. That's how crappy Austin traffic is most days.
Drummer and the band is pretty Chill. The Drummer recommended at cymbal company that isn't very well known but their performance is exceptional when comes to sound and performance.
It's not about understanding shoegaze, it's about understanding how bands should be mixed. I literally can't hear Elliots guitar, and Alex's vocals are wayy too dry.
he's definitely using the eventide h9 control app, at 1:24 you can see the h9 on the right side of his pedalboard and 11:39 looks like the main menu of the app to me. not sure what specific effect he used but he probably just uses it to change presets.
The singer gal sounds like Wing. Wing is that odd Chinese lady that lives in Australia and does unintentionally hilarious covers of songs. Wing's "Highway to Hell" is worth checking out.
The music performance is awesome, ok the vocals didn't quite happen IMHO. Sometimes these radios sessions don't translate!! Talented and down to earth band. Love to see them live.
A great instrumental band but the "vocals" really drag it down. Everyone who knows me knows I seldom say "add keyboards" but here it would provide a little extra meat and texture and allow the guitarist to go a little farther out there.

Man, KEXP never really knew how to mix shoegaze bands in their live sessions.
it sounds like a Doom or Sludge stoner band hha, this is shoegaze, peeps
It's terrible.
if they increase the guitar level they will sound thin, they have to do that because its just the 3 of them in the band, so yeah.
Alex M, this is how they are live. They are heavier than most shoegaze bands live
Shoegaze is best done heavy in my opinion. Gives it that real druggy sound

Buc'ee's !!
My family took me there last time I visited Texas. Me and my uncle Henry hung out in the smoker (bbq) section. And we smoked cigarettes too =] 💙🌊🏄♂️🪷
those drums are kickass!
Too bad he rushes during fills

I think that is the point isn't it?
some of the bands uploaded on here have the best names
My favourite band name so far is fauna shade
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard
Guilt
7:25 Frisbee
11:28 Summertime
Frisbee is mixed correctly
These guys just do what they love. That get's my fullest respect. "The eyes of the ranger are upon you." ;D

+Japanese Shoegaze Weirdly, I actually prefer this f-up mix to the record! Makes them sound different, rather than just stereotypically shoegaze-y.

+Japanese Shoegaze did you meet them? i met alex one time and elliot the other...they are really cool and nice.
That Swervedriver influence is strong in this set. Great.
i love the name. i love the music!
Love this band. 40 minutes is far? In my life I've commuted Tacoma to Seattle and Moyock to Norfolk. Must be nice.
In my world you can't even get to Oakland from SF in 40 minutes on most days and thats under 14 miles.
I'm obsessed with Alex's finger play...
hell yeah!! Your star children love y'all!!
Great stuff! I like the Dinosaur Jr. feel on 'Frisbee'
Summertime it's beautiful song.
I am loving that drummer!!
Easily one of my favourite albums from 2015. Great performance... Shame they asked for HMS to be removed... Amazing track!
why did they remove it? :O
HMS?
Love those punchie drums-fantastic band! xxx
It's nice to see that they're actually good players.

Full15 minute performance! Yeeeeeessss
they excluded Heavy meatal su1cid3 though :/
Fantastici ❤

i really hope these guys go on tour in the uk sometime soon
Suena mil veces mejor que la del Álbum. Cómo la quisiera en Spotify
YESSSSSSSS
Yay! And I can't get over just how hot Alex is, for real.
saw this earlier with another song, why did they cut it off?
heavy metal suicide!
im still wondering
Even though I don' really like the music, they have a SICK NAME! So jealous they came up with it first.
damn I wish Elliot's guitar would be a little louder. and Alex voice needs some reverb here. awesome drums though.
Alex is not the best voice
This is trippy AF.
Very cool!
QUE BANDA FODAAAAAAAAAA
I like this.
He's to play guitar with a tremolo, mbv full style. So Great, the return of the 90s
MERAVIGLIOSI
anyone know what that vocal effect is on guitar players mic at 5:54? something stereo. sounds cool.
+Sid Fernandez sounds like chorus + some vocal harmonies to me
Great bassery and those drums. 🙌🏻
THIS IS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL !!!!
Son muy buenooooos!!
Some people really don't understand shoegaze whatsoever. I thought the mix sounds great.
It's not about understanding shoegaze, it's about understanding how bands should be mixed. I literally can't hear Elliots guitar, and Alex's vocals are wayy too dry.
+Rob Broome Eh, upon a second listen, I'll give you both of those. Her vocals really don't have any warmth whatsoever. So I agree.
+The World Needs Winners I'm glad you agree!
+Rob Broome I must've been drinking when I first listened to it haha
Yeah cuz shoegaze isn’t about having fuckin reverb on the vocals at all. You fuckin moron.
im inlove
I love RDS, saw them play 100 years ago, bu it's crazy they don't thank Kevin and Belinda at every performance.
I actually wonder what Kevin thinks of Ringo Deathatarr. They emulate MBV very well. Theres a lot of bands that try and don’t pull it off well.
KEXP I'd love to know what kind of ride cymbal the drummer is using, any info on that? Great channel!
At 11:18, what did he do on the phone ? Set his reverb ? What pedal did he use via the app? Thought he used MidiVerb and that thing was made ages ago
Possibly the Eventide H9? I know Elliot uses one and it has a phone app that let's you adjust the settings on it.
he's definitely using the eventide h9 control app, at 1:24 you can see the h9 on the right side of his pedalboard and 11:39 looks like the main menu of the app to me. not sure what specific effect he used but he probably just uses it to change presets.
Shoutout to Buc-ees
Monster drummer.
I met Alex once. She was Fun to talk with
I made a Shoegaze type song yesterday and was going redo the vocals until I heard this
Great name
Even better than the EP version. The loudness adds a new vibe
The singer gal sounds like Wing. Wing is that odd Chinese lady that lives in Australia and does unintentionally hilarious covers of songs. Wing's "Highway to Hell" is worth checking out.
I don’t like how this is mixed
🥀
Seriously KEXP, why is HMS removed??
+Andrew Kraemer, by request of the band.
+KEXP fry.
+KEXP were they not happy with how it sounded?
What's "HMS"?
Heavy metal suicide
His guitar is the coolest I’ve seen
Sparkler is their best album in my opinion.
The music performance is awesome, ok the vocals didn't quite happen IMHO. Sometimes these radios sessions don't translate!! Talented and down to earth band. Love to see them live.
Why are the vocals so low?
can't figure out the last song's guitar tuning was trying to cover!
Aw, no Gender Spazzmaster? That's a shame, his is my favorite Jazzmaster I've seen a band use.
The Spazzmaster is the reason I wish I could find a blue aluminium pickguard for my Jazzmaster. That thing was so cool.
why Heavy Metal Suicide isn't on the playlist anymore???
+Bruno Marinho request of the band to take it off.
Request of the band to send it to space.
(It's no longer on this Earth. It's transmitting elsewhere.)
Singer's hot and it sound good
Is this a HUM rippoff band?

i love this band but the sound mix is horrible! go back to the old room!

I just think that for a shoegaze band, that guitar is not sounding loud enough
they can be different :)
A great instrumental band but the "vocals" really drag it down. Everyone who knows me knows I seldom say "add keyboards" but here it would provide a little extra meat and texture and allow the guitarist to go a little farther out there.
The vocals are thinner than Celine Dion.
What a waist...
The bass player waist?
Это какой-то позор...
They should definitely go the route of Explosions in the Sky and be instrumental...for all our sake.
+Fleagle Speak for your own sake.
Pretty sure that's what I just did.
