Unwound "Corpse Pose"

[Disburden]

univox hi flier

[cliquehop]

Probably the tightest band I have ever seen live. Not hard to see the Sonic Youth influence, but where SY went tangential, Unwound seemed directed, driven, and focused. The two are similar but decidedly different. "Gotta see it to believe it". Brilliance.

[finalchores]

yeah!

[GlitcHead]

I wish everyone knew this band. There is no band I want to see reunite more than Unwound but chances seem slimmer and slimmer. My only hope to get some terminal disease and get the Make A Wish Foundation to help me with this. Brb...

[projectk1id]

What the heck is the first frame?

[cubistblues]

seemed like yesterday, but a decade of sleeve tatts, AP covers, and hair straighteners has more or less consigned this music to this dustbin of history. unwound truly stood at the end of a long line of below the radar, expressionist rock bands that believed that having yr own sound was the only true liberating act and was an end unto itself. unwound possessed more integrity in their broken E strings than an armada of fuckin beardos or eyelinered douchebags with their delusions of "authenticity".

[cliquehop]

@cubistblues it's not dead man, and it resides in no dustbin I have ever heard of. Rather, it lives on in the hearts of those who actually give a shit about what they pour into their ears, as oppose to those that think the music defines the person, not the people defining the music.

[withease9]

amazing

[graves666]

at what venue was this filmed?

[eatjakealive]

thanks a lot for uploading this, great video. don't understand why that gary brown guy had to add effects to it though.

[gittty]

@eatjakealive Because its my video and I can do what I want with it.

[cliquehop]

@eatjakealive I'm not really sure how the effects really affect anything about the video. It's a rad, RARE live vid of an epic and influential band. Plus, the dude took the video himself, so he has the right to do whatever with it. If it ruins it for you then a: don't freaking watch it, and b: maybe you weren't as big of a fan of Unwound as you thought, and you have a hard time getting over things.

[staledimsum]

Sorry, dude...

[GANGSTAsizeZAK]

@snailsongs and @gittty

what do unwound and minus the bear have to do with each other?

and im not trying to be insulting or anything

are there members of mtb that were in unwound or something?

[palmostositive]

i can't beleive 34,000 people watched this. unwound was superb.

[allkemist]

rememeber seeing these guys @ ucsd campus 16 years ago geez {in a side class room of all places} auh the che cafe good ol dayz! still rocking it though eh!

[Drivelikefugazi]

such a simple thing to play on the bass, but sounds so good

[pixiewhixie]

what kind of guitar justin's using here?

[stealthmode111]

it's a Mosrite

[evange03]

It's a Univox hi-flyer which is a Mosrite replica that was made in the early 70's.

[snailsongs]

Unwound was visionary where Minus the Bear might, at best, be considered reactionary. Unwound broke new ground that others still haven't often touched to this day.

[gittty]

I agree, Unwound was one of a kind. Not to take anything away from Minus the Bear, because I don't really see them as comparable.

[xfearbeforexx]

Love this band. Like a more noise rock version of Refused.

[claweight]

I was referring to gabeuop79's comment.

[gabeuop79]

Indeed...

[gabeuop79]

Unwound is the best band to come out of Seattle. EVER. Miss them dearly!

[Vertze]

What about Minus the Bear!?

[punk91]

Minus the Bear is cool but they are no where near unwound or anything else that prolific from washington...

[bremenlegation]

best band from seattle right now?

mobile slaughter unit.

[claweight]

Actually they are from Olympia area...but yes they were a truly awesome band. This song certainly signifies how dynamic they were.

[bremenlegation]

if i had been asked who the best band in seattle was a yaer ago i would have said playing enemy without a doubt.

[bnzbrl]

great - I'm glad i saw them

[therealbolivian]

True that! Twice! Best €8 ever!

[YHAVR]

What a relief! There actually are people in Holland listening to good music...

[hadhayosh]

one of the best bands ever!

[devinroberts1984]

yeah excep't the singer, you can never even hear him, he is way to quiet,

[Jeffreylmcentire]

corpse pose corpse  pose

[johnnygink]

Hey, I was at that show, what a surprise to see video of it up. Got any more of the show?

[kermatron]

anyway you can post more of this show? i'm still pissed that i decided to miss this...

[gittty]

yes that was a bad idea missing this show, the last time Unwound played here. Im pissed i didnt go to the Austin show.

[carpenns]

'unwound is dead, long live unwound' I didn't even know they broke up! Stoking footage!

[gittty]
