Q and Not U - "Soft Pyramids"

[MEpianist]

So, what are "soft pyramids?"

[jonnydines]

Remember being at one of there gigs at The garage North London. Good times.

[ichewtoast111]

Q and not U <3

[HexedHands]

"can't find the weapons, weapons for sale / can't find the one who put the germs in the mail / can't find the one who tried to "kill your pop" / somebody say bomb drop / bullets in the air / blood still spills in the sand / money still flows to the president's pockets / and blood on the citizen's hands"

[omgwtfbbqizzle]

amazing lyrics and voice. anyone who thinks differently is fucking brainwashed

[joepickard]

the guitarist now plays bass for The Rapture for the time being.

[Dioxido87]

hmm not a very good singer

nice music though

[springawakenedme]

@Dioxido87 the unique-ness of his voice is why you don't think he's good. he doesn't have a cookie cutter rock voice

[Dioxido87]

@springawakenedme his style is certanly not common, but what i ment is that he goes off of tune sometimes

[MeAndNot3]

this is such a great performance.... simple- yet these are way better musicians then most of this EMO crap.

[ichewtoast111]

why must all the good bands break up.

[TheOceanPrecambrian]

Wish I had known about them when they were still together.

[meinLiebsterFeind]

This is not good.

[kercaine]

@meinLiebsterFeind haha true

[disasterhead]

its called pianika here. melodica

[seanbeatsjesus]

i just dont get it..... why would a band this good break up?!? if i were them i'd be rockin till i was old wearin Huggies.... and even then i'd still be jammin

[TallFastLoud]

The stoicism on the drummer's face while these funky beats just emanate from him is really funny but cool.

[mrredskater09]

mommy i learned how to spell S.O.F.t P.y.R.a.M.i.D.s

[MrClark86]

i miss this band so much

[metalcore929]

Great band.

[CaptainScrummys]

Always wondered what he played at 2:43, but had no idea he'd get all Fisher Price on us. Still love this band, though.

[speedythecat]

I know it looks like a toy, but that's a fairly serious instrument called a Melodica. The famous ones are made by the Hohner brand, but you can get cheapo china ones on ebay for like $30-40.

[CuteChildishTRex]

@speedythecat Reminds me of At the Drive In

[munkypoo4u]

this band was always on tour and I said to myself I'll see them when they come around next time..... then they broke up :(

[TheWhashingtonIs]

Q and Not U is pretty different than other bands, they have a cool sound

[fugtard]

Q And Not U are one of my favorites.

[tbwannab]

this song reminds me of driving around in the summer while the sun is coming up.... god i miss this band

[eaysiv]

does anyone know the name of the piano harmonica thing he plays at the end of 2 min? it has such a distinct sound

[jpb6892]

melodica.

[Fayceee]

It's called a melodica.

[imjustinb]

i'm getting the impression that's it's called a melodica, but i could be wrong.

[enigmagic]

its called a melodica

[ozoneboy7574]

no bass player whats up with that

[VikingChildren2]

is that a requirement?

[decibully1984]

derrr. They had one, he left so they continued as a 3-piece and kicked even more ass than before.

[taylornichole21]

[nahferals]
