David Bazan - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Blanco is one of a kind. Thank you David. It means much to me.

It's crazy, but surrounded by all that gear, he seems more vulnerable. Out of his element, he seems nervous, with his hands shaking some, and it seems to bring out even another complex emotional resonance above the performance. Pure gold.

This man is a great storyteller even if it hurts a little sometimes, thank you Mr Bazan!

Lucky enough to catch this at the new KEXP space, if you’re in Seattle you need to stop by this space, heart of the city!

Trouble With Boys is absolutely brutal, what a genius.

Piotr Bazan thanks David Bazan

I will name my child after this man

Greetings from Peter Bazan from England. I live in Grimsby

His red hoodie must be in the wash, just kidding - love this guy!

Man. Watching him cry at the end of Trouble With Boys made me tear up. I think that's one of the songs he was talking about when he said he didn't realize exactly what they meant when he originally came up with them. Seeing him so vulnerable at this stage of his career is very endearing. Love this dude, Pedro The Lion is probably the most underrated indie rock band of all time. I will never understand why he never broke through the way a lot of his contemporaries did (ie Modest Mouse, Pavement, Death Cab, etc..)

can't stop watching this. thanks kexp, thanks david. it never gets old.

I love this performance. It's really inspiring to me. This is the first time I've heard him, he's pretty cool

I just remembered he played all drums on "Control", just because well hello I'm David Bazan

I really liked his new album Care. But as a result of listening to this, i'll give Blanco another listen.

This guy is on another level... woah

So versatile, I've listened to this album so much

This shit is unbelievable. He's counting in 9ths, using sequencer, and singing. It's above Mozart level.

Saw him live in Memphis and he played his set with nothing but a mic and his acoustic guitar. He is phenomenally talented

I came around late in the game and actually heard headphones first. I asked him at a living room show if he was going to do another one and he said he wanted to, but would use his name. It pretty much seems like this album brings that to fruition.

Love the new record. I've been waiting to see this KEXP session. Hope to see you live again soon David.

Just saw him last night. Always the best.

UGH SO GOOD

I love this guy.

love it David! got that headphones vibe! always loved that sound you had on that album!

Bazan really knows how to let a song breathe. Trouble With Boys is so sparse with its lyrics, that it makes the final moments all the more poignant.

It looks like he almost lost it after he finished "trouble with boys" probably along with 90% of listeners as well. What an amazing guy...love that dude!

this version of "both hands" is great

This guy is absolutely fascinating.

respect

Legend

love you, man.

I love this, but I know most people will be way too critical. It's obviously different than his other stuff, but like he said he's been doing this for 19 years so he's probably a little tired of the guitar sound he created. Either way he's amazing

HEROE!!

Pero Davidddd, qué gusto!!!!

I dig all his work and no matter how or what type of band he use's. It's all just diff interpretations of his work,but the work here is wonderful in itself,but some may miss a big part of his work,which is his unique guitar work,and part writing for instruments,he has a signature sound,this is more open and vulnerable. Some may just be thrown off by the sound of a keyboard/piano/organ/electronic sound,but the songs still come thru.

The music incredible, as usual from Bazan, but the most impressive part of this performance is the coordination required to drum with his feet while playing with his hands

fucking love this.

Loved this, makes me think of Chemical Brothers.

Anyone know what gear he is using??

dude looks like louis ck

Wow too bad he can't keep a band together. Way better to see that than all the buttons.
