Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band "En Fuego" at SXSW Music 2009

[rcrase]

dang. they're good.

[tufftexan]

OK ... this is good sh**! So glad I stumbled upon this group!

[rockthissummer]

yeahhhh ai ai ai rock them drums

[TheDefendingIrish]

My girl is from Vietnam and her name is Helen

[gabecoolness]

i am best friends with there drummer me and him went to middle school last year

[Figgygirl88]

They're great even if I can't memorize their name it's so long lol they're great live.

[dexatrosin]

i used to played in a band with Benji and Matt for our high school's "environment day"

[kallithus]

I know the lead singer he helped out at my school and marshall is a talented drummer and good luck Benji

[CrzAshley92]

marshall (the 14 yr old drummer) is so talented, in my opinion.

to be that young in a band and already getting a lot of attention from the music world...

and all of those time signature changes! that's talent :)

[alexallyal]

what is the name of this song???

[ElMastodon]

It's called En Fuego

[innertuberr]

I just caught the show last night and they eclipsed Cursive, the band they opened for. Great Job MT.SHVB! Pure music, Tight changes, Flawless!

[madpuffy420]

just because a band is from seattle doesnt mean they are going to be the next NIRVANA! Come on you cant even compair the bands sounds?

its mentally unhealthy to be stuck in the 90's...

[VikingChildren2]

@madpuffy420 also, on that note - for the world: nirvana were not from Seattle. Aberdeen is where they were from. Kurt lived in Olympia in early years of the band. Not that they didn't play Seattle, but i hate hearing to this day that they were 'from Seattle"

[madpuffy420]

@VikingChildren2 ya well we could get as technical as saying dave grohl came from washington dc, couldnt we.. nirvana was known as a seattle band because know one knows there the fuck aberdeen is...didnt kurt live/evil in seattle?

[lisa6lisa]

TheWhiteStripes3, the vests are not actually made from their curtains. The band bought fabric that LOOKS like the curtains and then had the vests made out of that.

Halo3GlitchBuster, the song actually says "Our hearts are set to burn" and "Our hearts are set aflame".

[aricandisgood]

Perfect dancing music.

[SgtSanchez]

I don't know if there's anything lower than a music critic........

[rustynail89]

yeah, thats horrible

[Halo3GlitchBuster]

our hearts are venomous lol

[dplaticyn]

kurt? :)) is that you ?:P nice cover man :D

[dplaticyn]

О как обезьяна на ударных наяривает !

[rathole5]

This band is pretty good

[recmastering]

@heart@soul@rock&roll@

[aimeeweakley]

saw these guys at the sonicbids party at sxsw - they kicked major ass. love the jingle sticks!!

[hearUme89]

cool song. good going guy

[karnicao]

muito bom nunca vir nada deste tipo

insano......

[kevsart]

Sounds like da boiy got a mouff full a shit I can't understand one fuckn word. And whats with the stick thumper? Is this supposed to be a new trend setter? Sorry big loser. Not being mean just giving an expert opinion.Now some......some of the music was interesting. I givfe them 5 out of 10 stars.

[PapaverS0MNlFERUM]

@kevsart Really? In MY humble "lay" opinion...I would - epigrammatically - suggest that any critic (presumably, here, of indie rock?) at "expert opinion" level, publicly expressing said opinion thusly; "Sounds like da boiy got a mouff full a shit I can't understand one fuckn word," can dare to do so ONLY if their "expert" claim is backed by evidence.that their YouTube channel "favorites playlist" heavily feature both: Jim Croce videos AND clips from HEEHAW! What, sir, are the chances that...

[PapaverS0MNlFERUM]

....chances that... ...fave playlist... My god - It's full of stars! Stars like Jim Croce & those once found on HEEHAW. I humbly, and, again, somewhat epigrammatically retract my diatribe in deference to "The Expert"..

[hhoollaa123]

good wave ...good i like it...i hope you will got good luck

[novaescion]

Classy!

[carella211]

sounds like it would be awesome live.

[WombatPA]

Song Title: En Fuego

If you don't like the music, then don't listen! Why all the hate on Benji and the crew?!

[DJCarolle]

Tuli Kupferberg would be proud of this young lady

[seanshackelton]

great video, explosive band. i met these dudes (and girl) at SXSeattle showcase.. they kicked ass, as did most of the bands there.

[imixmuan]

Name of song please??

[jolunaco]

Good!

[WNM52]

I like the name of the band, otherwise, "Feh".

[clcradio]

Why the hell is Melissa Auf der Maur still playing at SxSW? Certainly cant be the publicity.

[oopsvnmese]

wonder if they are vietnemese

[zenabisabb]

Nice! a mixture of RX Bandits+ Mars Volta+ Wishbone Ash+ Yes i suppose? Keep em' up!

[Jammin67]

not a bad sound but i wonder what else that cchick could do with those sticks

[jandhvideos]

this is great!

[lexcorona85]

Just reformatted my computer, installed flash player and picked this video to test it out. It must be malfunctioning because it sounds like shit! I got to check my video settings because that must be the reason why these young lads (and girl) look like they are covered in vomit. Oh well.

[aceman3852]

barf

[jekobos]

Man! These guys have the sweetest thrift shop outfits...it must mean they are the best! Paul Mitchell must have done there hair...they are so awesome! Man...I need to grow a beard in the summertime just so I feel cool too! The lamer the better! Man I wish I could find another pair or tight pants so It can match with my black sweatshirt!

[TheWhiteStripes3]

Those outfits aren't from a thrift store. They're custom made out of fabric from a curtain the band members had in their house.

[thedeadlynightshades]

Lame.

[Drewmck79]

I love the stix!!!! Bang those stix girl!

[huskerspew]

Good sound but why the mainstream name?

[zenabisabb]

Nice music, a mixture of RX Bandits+ Mars Volta i suppose? Very talented. Would love to see more of their videos again.

[MegaManOLantern]

@zenabisabb I don't hear where your getting the Mars Volta sound out of this



[lovewinter251]

the clip very well

[ArnBucketeer]

theyre not even vietnamese

bunch of weirdos

[1dotonly]

that is some talent

[waggy55]

they have a 14 yr old drummer

[scottym84]

this is some good shit

to all you haters, aren't you sick of hearing the same rock sounding shit? embrace change!

wish i could be at SXSW

[texdaddy123]

lol this isn't change, this is a bunch of neil young buffalo springfield wannabes who can't get over the past.

oh yeah and sooooo logical to pay a band member to bang big sticks on the ground

[Dopplershift]

You don't think she might be the keyboard player then?

[texdaddy123]

idk maybe but the sticks didn't do it for me

[TheWhiteStripes3]

She sings also. Just not in this song.

[skinnyshins]

thats the frontman's wife

[filosof]

ah mt. st. helens vietnam band.... the "cobra kai" parson redheads.

[nikeathlet]

HIPPIES OF THE WORLD...UNITE!

[demmylowther]

You guys stunk that joint up ! You suck at singing !

[sabotoged]

Little less psychedelics.

[Josephdorf03]

It sounded really messy and all over the place

[jandhvideos]

thats the style i like it I LOVE IT!

[TheWhiteStripes3]

Yes! This is the first multi-angle video of you guys playing live, isn't it? Awesome! I LOVE the chorus of this song!

[fender8675309]

Suuuure... all this crap deserves to be featured...

[sawbelly13]

A lot of bands would be a lot better if they weren't so concerned about being weird.

[Jiveness]

I think you mean the other way around buddy. When people really care about being original and bringing something new to the table, good things happen. Do you know what AP magazine is? MSHVN Band got the number 4 spot on 100 bands you need to know this year. They were signed in like four months, are doing a tour, and have been featured in a prominent magazine because they are innovative and good. Anyone who doesn't like them just doesn't get the direction that music is heading. They're Pioneers!

[Jiveness]

That was supposed to be for sawbelly13

[ColtEriksen]

AP prominent? Are you a 15 year old girl?

[PapaverS0MNlFERUM]

@ColtEriksen AP is Alternative Press - NOT AdolescentPop or TeenPeople or TigerBeat.. AP may not be as "zine-like" or "punk-litically correct" as Maximumrocknroll OR as comprehensive (or defunct) as Punk Planet... However, Alternative Press is massively superior to " Rolling "everything gets 3 stars" Stone and "at least we're better than Rolling Stone" SPIN. AP is a worthy compliment to Under The Radar, Paste, Wonka Vision, Magnet, The Big Takeover & a few other surviors.

[jamomo1371]

This is the direction that music is heading?! I'm going to kill myself now. Thanks for the heads up!

[ryclea]

Yes jamomo, all music is heading in one direction and it will all sound like this soon. There is only room for one kind of music and your kind will be eliminated. Remember to slash your wrists lengthwise not crosswise.

[jamomo1371]

I was replying to a comment on another page. Your contribution does nothing for anything, you dick.

[clcradio]

And neither does replying to a comment on another page help this page.

[nineznuff]

This is one of the funniest responses I've seen on YouTube. Sarcasm in the proper hands can be so effective!

[MegaManOLantern]

@Jiveness lol Pioneers? I could name you about a dozen bands that sound just like them. This isn't where music is heading either, it's just a sound that a certain seen is full of and has the potential to be popular, therefore getting a top spot.

[pluckyperson]

greatest band out right now. they're so original. they have incredible energy on stage. to state it bluntly: they rock the shit.

[joopanna]

all dem haterz need to shut the fuk up cuz mshvb is the fukn shiz nit. KK??

[WombatPA]

Go MSHVB! Rock the country! Shit damn!

[stevenpsmitty]

hey matching vests - do they all work at knox berry farm

[HS74AB9]

superb!!!

[mmov9559]

this band is definitely odd...

[Sianara001]

Someone needs 2 turn that ish up to 11

p.s why are they not huge?????

[nkp1165]

hmm Mt. St Helens làm thế nào bạn là ban nhạc Việt Nam tại SXSW Âm nhạc 2009 !?

hmm omg wtf shit Mt. St. Helens, how can your Vietnam Band at SXSW Music 2009 !?

[steuth16]

too crowded

[milo555a]

i so dig that chick

[gaozhongle]

nice

[starkyboy]

Wow, the spirit of Wishbone Ash, Yes and 70's prog rock weirdly lives on with you guys.... despite the horribly muffled vocals.
