During the tour for this record they sucked, would stop the show and ask the crowd to stop moshing, threatening to play a 'Simon and Garfunkel' set. i saw them the touring manager sat on stage reading a book with a head lamp on. Previous tours were amazing, but by thin point you could tell they were done.
I went to see Coheed and cambria, and while I was walking up I heard Dredg playing, so I was excited. After that set I wasn't paying attention and next thing I know the blood Brothers just exploded on the stage. I was so f***ing stoked. I had no idea they were opening. I got the tickets for an old gf that loved coheed. It was during Crimes.
Frankly it's unbelievable they didn't blow up sky high in the mid 2000's. Maybe it was too much for folks to handle. Def my favorite late 90's-mid-2000's hardcore band. Saw them live so many times here in Seattle!
Me too man, I remember when they played the Showbox with These Arms are Snakes and Minus the Bear. I was also at the reunion show in 2014, they absolutely slayed...I got three old BB t-shirts and I wear em all the time.
Definitely too much for the norms. Music with high pitched screaming and noise will never gain a huge audience. Bands like The Hives were kind of the safe, glossed over version of this type of sass inspired hardcore.
The blood brothers are a progressive emo/ post hardcore band with elements of grind as well I believe .That being said many of the post hardcore bands of today sound don't sound original , and also abandoned their punk D.I.Y roots .
I grew up hanging and jamming with his older brother. Even at 14 Mark was a machine behind the kit. Wild. Precise. There’s no one in the world I’d rather have play on the little EP me and some buddies are working, 🤞🤞 we can make that work. Mark’s a great songwriter/producer too. Super musical guy all around.
Well, obviously you have a much smaller view of what Drummer can and can’t do because I know 20s drummers that will destroy this guy and there are millions that are better. He’s very good at what he does though
Wow. I found Young Machetes to be pretty tame in general, but this performance is the cat's pajamas. the bee's knees. the duck's nuts. I'm not surprised though, these guys are more than capable.
I am 56 years old and still listening to this... Amazing.. I saw Jaguar Love after .. Blood Brothers.. I keep it on heavy rotation.. Thanks for posting this video !!!
Music is such an absolutely incredible phenomenon..in my early 20s a coworker at a collection agency introduced me to this band on break and out of respect for him and the subjectivity of musical taste I hid my disgust of how horrible I thought it was from him..now almost 10 yrs later I recently thanked him on FB for helping me to grow into a musical adult and mature what I ignorantly already thought was a pretty broad range of taste in style..today, a good 7 or 8 BB songs are absolute staples of my musical repertoire, especially when it comes to my thoughts on the highest of high quality live energy and stage presence..wish they were still slaying
Yes. I’m listening to them again after doing so 15 years ago, I liked them then but didn’t allow myself to really love them due to friends and other stupid reasons I would never consider today haha Anyway, point being- listening to them now- they are incredible.
@@kasmorgan6118 yea dude, like I've said before, when I go to a show I don't wanna see the same regurgitated act I wanna feel like I've been electrocuted but in a good way..and boy, these mad men are high tension 3-phase powerlines!..I also shout out to Ty Segall and the Freedom Band that I saw in Atlanta years ago at the Drunken Unicorn (dope venue) my God what a show they put on, highly recommend
I give guest bands on shows til the chorus to judge. These guys made me sit up immediately. I played it over and over and over. Woke up & played it (DVR). Then found out they broke up.
Such a great unique band! Like some other great bands of the 1st decade of the 21st century (The Fall of troy, Horse the band, Protest the Hero, etc.) suffering from the internet piracy and struggling to deliver the same quality of their sound live as on their records due to the complexity of their recorded material, disappeared from the face of music scene in the 2nd decade of 21 st century. A Goddamn Shame!
2004, junior year of high school, i ended up at the Meow Meow to see some bands i had never heard of... Blood Brothers headlined and i heard them play love rhymes, peacock skeleton... The rest is history
Nathan Douglas Mr Mark Gajadhar. He totally upended the scene in Seattle for drummers. No one could compare. His older brother Rudi is equally awesome, played in Waxwing and a buncha others. Still best Seattle drummer hands down imo
Seeing them at irving plaza in like 2006 or 2007 as a high schooler blew my fucking mind. To this day one of the most energetic, unique, awesome shows I ever attended. Wish I could time travel back to that era and rage.
good music to sit in a bus shelter and wait for your bus to come like the bus is ever going to come i may as well start walking instead of standing here being bored- good band to give up on your bus and start walking home music
haha I love it how the blond singer is all feminine, it's like a 10 year old girl with her new Sony Kareoke Star mic going nuts on speed, haha, very rock and roll :)
Amazing ! I was hoping someone would upload a high res version of this ! Saw this when it first aired & was completely blown away ! Very sad this band broke up. I never got a chance to see them live...
This song is so freakin amazing ! Saw this on TV last year it totally blew me away ! Most performances for TV are so lame : lacking in energy & sound quality. I am very sad I only discovered them after they broke up. Kudos to Henry Rollins & IFC for promoting indie bands that sometimes fly under he radar !
people's musical preferences change as they grow older. Don't look back upon your days of loving this music as a negative thing. i'm sure something happened around the time you actually enjoyed TBB that you wouldn't give up for anything. I used to love rap back in the day. Now I don't, but I don't regret those times either.
It's so fucking funny. This band is an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. They look like they're trying to be this new school emo shit band, and yet they play fast and deliberate hardcore. Fucking amazing.
The Mad Hattress keep in mind they got their start in like, 1996? It was long before skinny jeans were like, hip. These guys, at the drive in, and the locust really kinda originated that look. Before that whole counter culture DIY scene was re-appropriated maimed tamed and bastardized into what's out there now, it was pretty unique. Even this late in their career vid was from 11years ago.
these are just insane.
And thats a good thing.
He's from Connecticut, USA.
#areyouseriousbro
***** 2004 my friend Andy (RIP) introduced me to them...
I told him "they're shit".
10 years later.
I still think they're garbage.
***** well he does kinda have a point about that guy
***** what a doucher you are
That bass tone probably rumbled the entire building. Holy fuck, I wish I could have seen this band live back in the day.

I actually got to play with them once upon a time. They were really fucking good.

After that set I wasn't paying attention and next thing I know the blood Brothers just exploded on the stage. I was so f***ing stoked. I had no idea they were opening.

I hope you got tickets to their reunion
@@iainblr saw them on halloween in like 07, they all dressed up like chicago cops. can't wait to see them later this year.
How proud I would be to be in a band that Henry Rollins praised so hard. Too awesome
Frankly it's unbelievable they didn't blow up sky high in the mid 2000's. Maybe it was too much for folks to handle. Def my favorite late 90's-mid-2000's hardcore band. Saw them live so many times here in Seattle!
We opened for them and kane hodder a couple times in seattle. I've seen them probably the most out of any live band, haha.
Me too man, I remember when they played the Showbox with These Arms are Snakes and Minus the Bear. I was also at the reunion show in 2014, they absolutely slayed...I got three old BB t-shirts and I wear em all the time.
@@fathergetdown The double horse ones? Loved those
Brian Long At-the drive in beat them to it
Definitely too much for the norms. Music with high pitched screaming and noise will never gain a huge audience. Bands like The Hives were kind of the safe, glossed over version of this type of sass inspired hardcore.
Even if you disagree stylistically the execution is simply brilliant.
you're spot on pal
absolutely
fuck yeah. blood brothers is an anomaly.
America's take on Melt Banana
it's beautiful. agreed re the execution
Played a show with these boys back in 2004 or 2005. Super nice to us, put on a killer show, and engaged with us multiple times.
What's your band
Their drummer is mad good. This would be so hard to play perfectly live and he straight kills it
Agreed! Tremendous playing!
Totally would not expect Rollins to be into Blood Brothers, but I don't blame him.
Rollins likes Hivemind he picked up an lp in an episode of what's in my bag and i was so impressed.
guy picciotto (fugazi) produced young machetes
frenetic
The blood brothers are a progressive emo/ post hardcore band with elements of grind as well I believe .That being said many of the post hardcore bands of today sound don't sound original , and also abandoned their punk D.I.Y roots .
@@josephwright5140 surprised is prob a better word... to act like you are *impressed* by Henry , that's bold.
yeap the 26 year old boomer in me is saying "I wish they still made music like this"
Head Wound City
SeeYouSpaceCowboy
some are still
Yeah are gone and nothing will ever sound like them tbh, people will try though
The 32 year old boomer in me is cringing that this was my favorite band
such underrated musicians. i love how they can mix "hardcore" and "groovy" so well.
henry fucking gets it
1Muzition1 promoter af. check out what he says about Ween sometime
i've been saying it for years: mark gajadhar is the most talented drummer i've ever seen. he could go toe to toe with anybody.
same

There’s no one in the world I’d rather have play on the little EP me and some buddies are working, 🤞🤞 we can make that work.

At 36 seconds in I was like holy fuck lol

@@williamperri3437millions? Get bent
The fact that Henry Rollins likes these guys so much makes me love him more.
i was very fortunate to have seen the BBros 7 times. Best Performances by far.
when this aired it was my introduction to Blood Brothers. So important to my development
This may be the singularly best video on all of TH-cam.
Wow. I found Young Machetes to be pretty tame in general, but this performance is the cat's pajamas. the bee's knees. the duck's nuts.
I'm not surprised though, these guys are more than capable.
This performance is so intense...
One of the best live performances I have ever seen!
Wish i could have saw them live so much!
I am 56 years old and still listening to this... Amazing.. I saw Jaguar Love after .. Blood Brothers.. I keep it on heavy rotation.. Thanks for posting this video !!!
Unforgettable performance. Thanks for keeping this alive.

holy fuck that energy
Everytime I see this video: instantly goosebumps. Inevitable.
They suck. Big big time
I think everything works with them. The vocals just work off each other so well. Unique tune and what a mind blowing live performance.
I want to play drums just like this drummer,INSANE!
i come back here every couple years or so to remember what heavy music is supposed to be
Brilliant!
this isn’t heavy, just chaotic
Just remembered this band--after a few years of not hearing them it sounds better than ever
I give guest bands on shows til the chorus to judge. These guys made me sit up immediately. I played it over and over and over. Woke up & played it (DVR). Then found out they broke up.
their back together! they will be playing at FYF fest in LA this year
I had this save on DVR and would literally watch it every morning before school
I can’t believe I just discovered how awesome this band is
better late than never
I'm considering buying an FYF ticket just to see them. Used to listen to this album like every day back in high school.
aw man johnny whitney i miss ya. blood brothers, neon blonde, jaguar love. So many good times ive had at these shows back in the day
2:14 is the best sound in music, hands down
Truth.
Start from 2:02
I fucking love when they do this type of drumming, they did this also on "Trash Flavored Trash" too I believe.
10 years ago i was petrified. Today im Petrified again. Those Drums...
Same here. INSANE STUFF
mozart would've loved this.....
+Michael Goldberg perhaps
Michael Goldberg
They pulled a reggaeton drum beat for the breakdown lol. Fucking genius! Miss these guys.
Haha I know right, that part is genius. It’s like a reggaeton beat but in a punk/post-hardcore style, so creative and amazing. The Blood Brothers rule
I love this band so much!!! Since March On The Electric Children!
becuase, TBB are so good that they still hold a spot in your head years and years later to the degree that you still look them up.
I saw this when it was live 😊 I warched IFC, Fuse, and G4 everyday after highschool
Such a great unique band! Like some other great bands of the 1st decade of the 21st century (The Fall of troy, Horse the band, Protest the Hero, etc.) suffering from the internet piracy and struggling to deliver the same quality of their sound live as on their records due to the complexity of their recorded material, disappeared from the face of music scene in the 2nd decade of 21 st century. A Goddamn Shame!
Goofballs
This might be the best fucking punk rock I've heard in 30 years.
Blood Brothers were insane because you expected to sound like a shitshow live but... they were fucking god tier and dare I say even better.
They’re unorthodox, similar to old school chiodos
2004, junior year of high school, i ended up at the Meow Meow to see some bands i had never heard of... Blood Brothers headlined and i heard them play love rhymes, peacock skeleton... The rest is history
miss these guys
Saw em open for Trail of Dead with this song. What a badass band! Haven't heard anything comparable lately, that's for sure
One of the heaviest songs ever! So much attitude! 🤘
Never gets old
Man, I love everything about this band.
Shame I never got to see them live.
I wish something would grab hold of me again like this band did.
one of my favorite performances from them!
If i were taking singing lessons, this band would make me stop taking singing lessons
Yeah! Ya don’t need em’!😁
It's ridiculous how good this is.
This show shaped my musical taste in so many ways in the mid 2000s.
“What a great fucking racket these guys make”. This is the one line that ALWAYS comes to mind when I hear The Blood Brothers.
They's my favs (set fire to the... everything's already on fire).
Crazy to think this dude joined fleet foxes
who did :0
@@girlscoutxoxo bass player
No fucking way, that's crazy lol
Crazy but I also love Fleet Foxes so that probably means I'm crazy as well
i love music that is just completely out of control yet perfectly harmonious. i guess that's why i also love norma jean.
one of the most insane perfomances of all time
I love the blood Brothers and am likewise surprised to come acrossed this vid, High quality shout out from rollins.
I remember watching this on TV and seeing Morgan lose his whammy bar. Great stuff, thanks for uploading.
I've been trying to get this clip... thank you so much!!!! The BBs are my favorite group...
Right up!! My alley guys!! nice work.
this fucking drummer dude
Nathan Douglas Mr Mark Gajadhar. He totally upended the scene in Seattle for drummers. No one could compare. His older brother Rudi is equally awesome, played in Waxwing and a buncha others.
Still best Seattle drummer hands down imo
THIS SHIT GOES HARD HAMBURGERS SON!!!
umm....yiss. wow. That was a thing. How am I just discovering this?
Look up their real old shit. Also look up circle takes the square
You must be millenial right?¿
somewhere in the US, theres a Hank walking into his garage yelling, NOW WHAT THE HELL IS WITH ALL THIS DAMN RACKIT!
I remember watching this when it originally aired. Didn’t like it then but like it now.
Seeing them at irving plaza in like 2006 or 2007 as a high schooler blew my fucking mind. To this day one of the most energetic, unique, awesome shows I ever attended. Wish I could time travel back to that era and rage.
2018 still a great band.
Thank you. In the future they will be looked upon as master innovators and song-craftsmen. The new Mozarts and Miles Davises.
good music to sit in a bus shelter and wait for your bus to come like the bus is ever going to come i may as well start walking instead of standing here being bored- good band to give up on your bus and start walking home music
Saw these dudes twice. They were savages live. Miss them
Thank you Henry Rollins for preserving one of the few videos of the Blood Brothers killing it live.
haha I love it how the blond singer is all feminine, it's like a 10 year old girl with her new Sony Kareoke Star mic going nuts on speed, haha, very rock and roll :)
Amazing ! I was hoping someone would upload a high res version of this ! Saw this when it first aired & was completely blown away ! Very sad this band broke up. I never got a chance to see them live...
Johnny always reminded me of "Sick Boy" in Trainspotting
so good! trying to see them at fyf but they are also playing fun fun fun
Goddamn that drummer rules.
This is the best song in the world.
eee! omg... i miss this so much :(
such an epic band!
blew my mind when i first heard them freshman year:)
This song is so freakin amazing ! Saw this on TV last year it totally blew me away ! Most performances for TV are so lame : lacking in energy & sound quality.
I am very sad I only discovered them after they broke up. Kudos to Henry Rollins & IFC for promoting indie bands that sometimes fly under he radar !
seeing this live on television was such a crazy experience
OK, now I get it. More than a decade late.
Pure. Fire.
this was one of the greatest performances of the the early 2000s
This is a Bad - Ass song! Thanks for the share my friend.

That was so hard 🔥
I miss these guys. I annoy my customers with their albums all the time.
vicious. brutal, almost
2:13 oh my god
This is better than most metal outside doom, black and death.
Easily the best version to listen to. Their drummer is just pure-chaotic fun
there was never a band like the blood bros, and there hasn't been one since. I doubt they'll ever be matched.
Some of the hardest shows I have ever been a part of. Pretty sure I almost died once at a tiny venue with maybe 50 people in the audience.
the mix on this performance (and the performance itself) fucking rips so god damn hard
I remember when this album came out.
It's so fucking funny. This band is an oxymoron if I've ever seen one. They look like they're trying to be this new school emo shit band, and yet they play fast and deliberate hardcore. Fucking amazing.

San Diego baby!
They are friggin awesome!
the arrangements on Young Machetes were kind of insane. such a sick little detail that he only slams on the Wurlitzer for a couple bars in the bridge
Guys blew me away when I first found them on this show. Too bad the band wasn't much longer for this world.
