Alt-J - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

This is the best band that has ever existed.

00:33 Every Other Freckle 07:13 Left Hand Free 14:35 Bloodflood Pt. II 24:33 Nara

Nara is the song that really got me into Alt-J. So happy they played it!

I saw them live a couple weeks ago in a festival here in Argentina and they were awesome, it's impressive how good they sound live, so I don't know what the fuck you're all talking about... these guys are awesome.

Sucks that these guys are getting judged solely of off this performance (which I thought was pretty nice). I saw them once before with Gwil in the band and was a little worried that they wouldn't be as good live without him. But after seeing them a few days ago in Indianapolis made me change my mind 100%. They were enchanting to say the least. They really sounded better than the studio recordings to me. They've definitely grown more comfortable with their newer music since this recording. Not to mention they were very interactive with the crowd and the light show was amazing. They also stuck around after the show to sign and take pictures, and just chat with those of us who waited. Super cool guys. If you have the chance to see them, definitely take it. You won't regret it.

Everyone is expecting them to be almost perfect live.... Just because this performance wasn't their best, it's still damn good.

You gents are so generous with your art. Blessings. Brightness.

I found Waldo...he changed his shirt and plays keyboards for Alt-J.

I don't know if anyone else is hearing what I just heard (every other freckle) But after about a month of fantasising about how amazing it sounds from the album, literally having it on repeat EVERY day, to hear that live was AWFUL. Why so FLAT?! C'mon guyyyyyyyyyys

KEXP improves the quality of my life. As does Alt-J.

Really loved Bloodflood Pt. II

Really great watching this and how refreshing to have an intelligent interviewer who understands music and has done their research.

I do understand that people criticize Alt-J about their live performance when they saw it on youtube. But I think it's difference for any band to perform with and without their fans in front of them. I went to watch Alt-J at O2 Academy Glasgow (their first tour for this album, days before This is All Yours actually release). I was a bit worry too at that time because there was a video uploaded on youtube of their live performance of some new songs and it didn't sound well at all. But, actually, turn out that the gig was EPIC !! I think the atmosphere played a big part there.

I love this video! Both for their great performance and for the great interview! Great all around!

Love them

Awesome!

fantastic..

Thanks for your arts! Always when i hear to your music, my motivation to make music raises a lot! :)

Damn these guys are such brilliant writers, more talent in one finger than i'll ever have, it all works for me

Love them live l can see the singer he is the best

I love alt j

This is the strangest band I have ever heard but I can't stop listening

It seems like their harmonies are always hit or miss in live shows

Phenomenal. PHENOMENAL!🌞

On the keyboards:,......GROUCHO MARX!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree w/ most that this particular live performance fell short of expectations. I've seen them live twice and have absolutely enjoyed both performances (most recently 3 weeks ago in Chicago). To me, Joe looks and sounds tired. Refer back to their live performance on KEXP 2 years ago at the Triple Door. THAT was an amazing performance and their vocals were on point. I still

Saw these guys recently at Next Big Thing here in the Tampa Bay area. They were 3rd to last behind Young The Giant and Fall Out Boy. These guys totally owned. Great show as the sun was going down and the full moon was rising. REALLY GREAT SET!!

Gonna come out and watch you guys next Friday! So you better rehearse! Haha

lo que me produce nada es indescriptible lo juro

live is always better when it has an edge to it.. alt j definaltly do this.. there still fucking awesome !!!

Bloodflood Pt II is too good

Pretty Cool

YUSS

cool guys

Love Alt-J. Even though the 2nd album is more subtle, and without some of the brilliant hooks of the first, they are still a great ensemble group.

I mean I know what you guys mean when you talk about how they weren't at their strongest concerning live performance this time but I really liked the interview, it was so interesting. And in general, these guys are so cool and nice and they simply have a special way of making music and performing which I love.

The drummer is godlike

I love the drummer, he is so like" fuck this guys imma play dis shit while stonned"

Every other frekle n Left hand free Are Tunes!!

is it just me or does the new bassist look like Ben Wyatt from Parks and Rec

🌹🌹🌹

Where's Hunger of the Pine?! ... Since they announced their performance on KEXP I waited to hear it...

Love it!

I like how they played here

All over this!

Thanks to this video, I now know what drums and electronic drums Thom has.

God loves us all

i like Nara so much... wish they could talk more openly about it.

Awsome. They are getting there. Just give 'em time. Didn't know Ben Wyatt took on the second guitar though :o

22:07 poor joe lmao

Thom looks so doped... but I love the way he plays...

Quality

So can we know who the new fourth guy is? That replaced Gwil in these new performances? Is he officially a part of the band now?

Lovin' them _pipes_ Chris Pratt!

17:06 to 17:11 his forehead muscles getting relaxed

Lmfao gus is hilarious!!! love him!

Seems like the joe got his shit together when playing Bloodflood pt 2 lol Love this band! See them live if you get a chance!

Boss

22:10 this guy is so baked

You can tell in Left Hand Free, Joe is stoned outta his mind.

these guys are great.. Lots of other live vids! this wasnt the best but still "thumbs up"

why does everyone hate their live performances so much? This isn't too bad, and they've done a lot better, but it's as if most people have seen every show

More Cowbell! (Nara)

а где басист прошлый?… там вроде говорили про него.. м? 🤔

time to buy the second Vynile! :D

Where are the other two? What have i missed?

Anyone else feel like they are just barely holding it together?

Alt-j are a unique band, the drugs help them with there music

Vocals at the begining of Every Other Freckle....guys please sing it ''clean'' ! :)

9:22 he's so baked lol

joe laughing during left hand free is me as a vocalist

Anyone else hear the metronome for Left Hand Free? Fuck off with that...

Neil Sampat on the keybord.. :)

9:22 what they are laughing at? lol

Love this band. Not going to lie I miss Gwil tho

Ok, I don't have time to watch this whole thing at the moment, but did she ask them/did it get mentioned that Gwil, the bassist left the band ? .... seems like it changed their sound quite a lot..... www.xfm.co.uk/artists/alt-j/news/gwil-leaving-helped-us-define-ourselves/

the drummer is quite well, i am sad for him after this performance.

Is joe high as hell? Maybe explains flat vocals and stuttery interview

I can't believe how bad they sound... Alt J is one of my favorite bands, and i watched them live a couple of months ago, but i don't know what they did because they were amazing and waaaay better than they were in this video... Still one of my favrotie bands, and I'm glad they're improving (?) I guess (?)

I love Alt J, but I really don't think they're a "live band." I will absolutely buy every album they put out but will probably pass on their next tour. I've seen them twice now and would prefer to just listen to the studio versions.

Guy at 2:10 trying to be a badass on a maraca

His lyric writing reminds me a lot of Frank Black.

Lol it all make sense now their like hell yeah legal weed we can get our creativity on... oh right american weed... shit... too stoned to perform lol I’ve watched so many of their live videos and they have never acted this awkward in any of them lol 😂

They just need to turn up the bass amp.

Am'I just The only one who seeing Its something wrong inside this band?🤔 I Love you guys but are you really happy with what you are doing? 💙

love Alt-J and I understand they still need time to warm these songs up but so far all their live performances from the new album have fallen extremely flat for me....usually KEXP is where my favourite bands shine but in this particular instance....nah. I think this album is good but lesser work than An Awesome Wave and I think the live performances thus far are extremely lacking. At this point Alt-J has sort of lost my attention...I'll revisit at some point down the road

this is why being on drugs are bad for "live" situations. Everyone except the keyboard player is ripped out of their minds from the looks of it. Seems like life on the road/touring is taking quite a toll on them, lead singer especially.

Louis Theroux on the keys...

something's not right...

An Awesome Wave is one of my most cherished deputising albums, and I think This Is All Yours is fantastically unique. Love them both. However it pains me to say their sound really, really does not transfer to the stage. Seriously poor live act. I'm sad for them mind, they could be so much bigger. Still though, they'll always sound incredible in my car.

first two songs.. horrible, the last two were just perfect. i want these guys to sound better!

What's got into Thom all of a sudden with those tatoos and that pale look...?

wow. am i the only one thing that everything sounds terribly out of tune one the first song?

All songs up until Nara were off a bit... Mainly the vocals were lacking, but Nara was on point for the most part except for one note. A bit disappointed though...

i pass.......

He can't help but laugh, because even he knows Left Hand Free is a shit song....

Compared to their previous performances, this is a pretty disappointing effort. Hopefully this was just a hiccup and not a sign of things to come. Cmon guys!!

uh... that guitar doesn't support that tunning! (on every other freckle)

Manyare going to prison.

Man their harmonics are off key a little too much...
