Surfer Blood - Anchorage (Live on KEXP)

[TheProletarius]

great great band...........

[Pagra101]

was this song on school of surf 2009?

[Skatertike202]

Its so chill.

[mscudde2]

Fucking amazing song. The keyboard is wonderful imo

[londonfletcher18]

@nunrgtrance2 yea dude why are you so hatefull? maybe because your band doesnt have tunes on KEXP. This is happening man.

[skamwell]

cool vibes dudes sounds great

[nunrgtrance2]

Don't be offended. It's nothing personal against you Afro man. Well, maybe it is. But don't let it bring you down. Just a little constructive criticism. Hell, this was 2 years ago, maybe now you know that just because u can press the keyboard keys in the most basic rhythm possible, doesn't mean it sounds good. Or are you not a real musician? Just a leech who wishes he had some skill/talent to b a PRODUCTIVE AND CONTRIBUTING member of the band that DOES NOT HOLD THE BAND BACK and sound shitty.

[JustABSide]

@nunrgtrance2 He doesn't do that live anymore. And in Swim he MAKES the breakdown with his percussion.

[feildmouse]

@nunrgtrance2 I disagree

[Hellagoodedie]

@nunrgtrance2 cool story?

[nunrgtrance2]

keyboard comes in @ 4:35 and completely fucks everything up. If a band was playing and I just wanted to jump in and make racket to make everything sound like shit, I would do exactly what afro puff starts doing @ 4:35. I wanted to just reach in the screen and choke him throughout the entire video. All the way up until 4:35, where I was overwhelmed by an immesurable hate, that grew stronger every passing second. I want to beat his entire face in with a brick. *splat* Trust me, he's garbage.

[jademonki]

@nunrgtrance2 it works. you need to chill. music is subjective, I like the keyboards. you don't. let it go and don't comment with such hate, anger and then call it constructive criticism... you've got issues and I hope you can that figured out for yourself.

[nunrgtrance2]

That's where the action i-i-i-i-i-i-isss!!! XD

cool.

Good to see fresh homegrown yungin bands gettin noticed. Sound reminds me of Silversun Pickups. But pretty mellow, chill and unique. Keyboard/Percussion guy w/ afro is expendable. He wierds me out too. Evil sent him to fuck up your sound LOL. I swear I know that drummer kid from somewhere tho. Renaissance House? Hope you enjoyed my biased opinions. Take them my children, and run with them. Cut all ties with Afro Percussion. he's holdin u back.

[TheJonnycomet]

@nunrgtrance2 Except this band is way better than the silversun pickups. This live version kind of sucks though. Not their best performance but their album is a GREAT album.

[DoUBeliveNRockNRoll]

The bit about parsley snips is perfect.

[antiemo666777]

props to your mixer damn

[Jeepyismylove]

Best damn song.

[TheFate23]

i love this song, so good and sweet.

[markdonat]

does anyone know what pedals he is using at 6:34?

[Simpsin16]

It's great how they all look so zoned into their music.

[Sn4zzl3]

I actually like his voice better without the reverb, sounds more honest.

[JustABSide]

I don't dig the keyboard at the end. Not keen. Maybe if Marcos used a softer sound, or a synth or something.

[cscheben]

Best album with guitars in it of the year!!!!!!

[leroykimbo]

@cscheben

Better than interpols album?

[UkeleleDamphlett]

@leroykimbo Yeah Interpol's was better - these guys were supporting Interpol when I saw them. But Total Life Forever was definitely the best album of 2010.

[leroykimbo]

@UkeleleDamphlett

Yeah i saw them support interpol as well. I heard them play this song now im hooked.

[y3k23k]

anyone know what effects or pedals theyre using cus i would like to get my hands on them.

[TacooGrill]

@y3k23k there are plenty of shots of them in these videos. From what i saw, they're both using boss tuners, ehx stereo memory men(with hazari), a tube screamer, a little big muff, ehx holy grail, and some fuzz pedal i dont know

[Brrradams]

Haha Michael Jackson at 4:04?

[bov88]

Skankorage!! 

[Aheadstix85]

Really??, whats that?, whats so different?, and how are they sucessful?, i have never heard of em?, and yes "indy pop" is so "cutting edge", pffft!, try hards.

[supermanJOEL2]

This is better than the studio version...

[thegentle]

haters gotta hate...

LOVERS GONNA LOVE!!!

[aphrowic]

@thegentle I don't even want, non of the above. I want to pee on you.

[Aheadstix85]

Pfft!, just another shit indy band!, c'mon you guys grow some balls and play some real ROCK!!!!!!, not this pansy shit!, i'll bet these guys have never been pissed on stage and, shit!, that should be a right of passage!, your not a real rock band unless you have been shit faced on stage, PERIOD!!.

[MicDollaBIll]

@Aheadstix85

you know what, man? you're right. if yo yo ma passes out drunk onstage, then everyone should.

[Aheadstix85]

@MicDollaBIll Damn strait!, play every gig shit faced!

[Colace06]

@Aheadstix85 Youre a fucking retard they are awsome they do something different from all the other bands you listen too, they are far more sucsessful then you will ever be. Youre probably some faggot metal head go suck a dick homo.

[MIMguy31]

i cant wait for their next album!

[popovergaard]

Nice band, nice tune :-)))

[jeffcon0]

This is the biggest rip off of Sonic Youth in.... weeks.

[keviwevi93]

@jeffcon0 rip off? nay! homage is more like it :) and it sounds more like a blend between the pixies, weezer and built to spill :')

[Colace06]

@jeffcon0 not at all

[y3k23k]

cheryl is one lucky bitch.

[polarisbluewolf]

Being from Anchorage, it's cool to have someone write a song which features the city

[acouwaila]

sounds great to me!

[TiggerOaks]

this song is like two songs in one. i hear something different every time i listen to them. i hear a little sonic youth in this one. the whole album is really good. i recommend it highly salasie.

[polarisbluewolf]

The bassist looks like michael showalter

[beefknuckles]

@polarisbluewolf during the facebook doppleganger craze, that was his doppleganger

[VanillaBeanish]

thanx to my friend who saw them @ echoplex i love it!

[dmke]

nice tune. dude looks 17

[smokeweedndoshit]

holy fuck

[sensodyneuser]

roll with it youve got the sound

[sensodyneuser]

like the sound

[mguit87]

good stuff, but his voice sounds WAY better on the album. dude obviously needs some heavy reverb to back him up!

[sensodyneuser]

i get what you mean- but I think he was ganked by the sounboard operator or something. Ive seen all the KEXP videos and Id be suprised if the guy could even hear his vocals on the monitor.

[kexpradio]

@sensodyneuser, our engineer works with literally hundreds of bands in-studio every year. He gives the bands what they ask for. His vocals were in the headphone mix to his specifications. I would be curious to know why seeing all of our videos would make you think he wasn't an excellent engineer.

[LambdaJM]

@kexpradio sound is perfect

[stanchung69]

@sensodyneuser judging music quality on youtube wow. genius! LOL Go troll elsewhere!

[taila1976]

This is really good. Sometime you hear Pixie, SY, Weezer...really good

[thepianoisexploding]

Love me some surfer blood :)

[vinylsurrender]

Great stuff guys - I'm a fan. I really, really like this song and your sound. It's refreshing and earnest and you've got lots of talent and deserve widespread success.

[chrisbowcutt]

These guys look like they go to Flagler

[fabietto1984]

great song

[funnybonetickla]

standard tuning on that mustang?

[ElBronx21]

been listening to this album for 2 months now

favorite song off this album

seeing them next month!

[ajleslie2]

I agree, I love that last part of the song. Total potential and so very young.  I thought these guys were older like the shins when I first heard them. Really good stuff and great for drawing architecture.

[LowLevelHum]

I'm from south florida and only discovered these dudes last week. they got tons of potential.

[motorin25]

LowlevelHum. Were you at Propaganda? They are not quite my style, but its was interesting to see the difference from when I first saw them about 6 months ago.

[award]

that stomp beat at 3:47 is so awesome. my favorite part of the song

[ChrisKC]

So good

[skaterguitaristfosho]

SONIC YOOUOOOUOUOOUOTH

[madeyes4u]

Ok, I guess.

[DanMichelFerrisIII]

pokemon

[followHimnotUs]
