Drab Majesty - Amoeba Green Room Session 

found these guys last year in my early 20s, can confirm, head exploded

Lol, 55 too!

I'm only 41 and think they're the coolest 'new' band in the last 15 years.

My Head is Explored indeed i'm 24 and listen to them everyday going to work

I'm 56yo agree with your words,i love this fantastic band❤

lookin forward to seein them next month live with Slowdive. I'm freakin outta my mind excited as is my daughter.

@ONIGMADOSHI That's right... The 80s are still here 👍🇦🇷

Mine too.

And mine too!

same

I have never been so fascinated by a band ...

OOOOOOH ! :')

So true, that's exactly what I thought when i first heard them.

@@maskof me too XD

With slowdive

oh my gosh I said the same thing.. that wall of sound 🎸wow amazing..

I found Drab Majesty through your channel!

I had a similar feeling when I saw you ;)

Correct!

@@terminalbeach4973 this man has wisdom

Yeah, definitely. They are the first band we've had in for a session that brought set decorations, extra lights, gels, and more. They care a lot and are very specific about their presentation. Cool band.

Amoeba I really admire and appreciate that. I'd love their live set even more if they had a drummer too.

@@Glass_Caskets It would take a certain kind of drummer and also to reproduce these specific sonorities would require a lot of processing in a live situation. It would definitely take a 4AD, post new wave, proto industrial aesthetic. Above all would have to be very nuanced to fit this awesome sound.

@@frankalfar you're right. very right. sign me up.

@@Glass_Caskets Don't, drummers are for bands. This is a more intimate project. Stick to drum machines forever!

Mark K. Likewise mate, I can’t get cold souls out of my head lol

Same....

Ditto!

Its a fucking brilliant song

Hahahaha so good!

LOL!!! and less candle on the low end...

Yes, More statue close ups, and more Cowbell!

"yes, absolutely, right away, sir"

Omfg dying over here, this is the best!

They definitely got this Sound from Asylum Party....

@@philiparcher2868 agreed

Some nuance of Gary Numan also present here.

Sad lovers ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Completely atmospheric, I can listen this track 100 times and never stop it

Unique🔥✨

The Past is the Present and the Present is the Future.

Yes good description....

Is it future or is it past?

I'm past all this

true

Princess P is love to taste those....not in a creepy way...ha

I made sweet love to this comment

This is the absolute best description of this band.

Pretty sure Deb Demure could be Will

lol

The upside down Cocteau Twins

I may have been at that show if you're talking about Chicago. The Riviera? Sometime around Nov 16 22. I thought it was cool of AFI to host them but I was only there to see DM. We left to get ramen after their set

@elysianfields84 - Same tour but Salt Lake City. Saw DM again last year (2023) when they opened for Slow Dive. Same thing as you, went for DM and left during Slow Dive.

Good music makes me feel this a lot too!

Same over here ✊

New Order's "Technique" album.

indeed Chameleons UK were/are awesome band I confirm

Yes, that‘s absolutely true. They sound very much like the Chameleons on their Strange Times album from 1986.

@@dissident4117 similar vibe, but wayyy more fuckin ethereal

Always there's good stuff, I'm sick of people saying x0's was the best decade or whatever. You keep digging you find gold now and again, that's just how it is.

@@syrus3k exactly! If it weren’t for pandora and the occasional recommendations from RU-vid, I don’t think I would have tripled my library the way that I did for the last 10 years. There’s unknown gems from all decades.

@@syrus3k Absolutely!

Mine too, i love when drab majesty tells the captain that the boy is special and must be encouraged.

No. The world belongs to the violent, careerist ones has power.

Christopher Martinez id love to see Deadsy make a comeback. I was lucky enough to see them twice

But better than Deadsy!

Skeletal33 sorry been awhile, but yes, I was infatuated with them when I was younger in my early twenties , bought every single first demo, and the old red chain shirt before they decided to make it blue. Finally got the blessing to see them open up for the deftones wrist tour in 2006 when they dropped phantasmagor, I got cool with the Texas legion manager and he gave me and my girlfriend at the time VIP passes all access , and it was a dream come true, I would dream about hanging out with deadsy before, and it finally happened, those guys where nothing but the most sweetest people a person could meet, Elijah was so cool to me! We had a small conversation about our cats! Alec pure asked if I had vicodin , which I did lol , cuz I was mentioning the problem with heroin , since Elijah was on a treatment, but was absolutely cool with me giving Alec a vike , his shoulder was sore from the past few shows he said, so it was legit, I had a ingrown toenail removed the day before, and we even talked about that! Such a down to earth band , I miss the f#$%K out of them.

Christopher Martinez Yeah man they remind of Deadsy alot and that's not a bad thing at all!

What is 4aD?

@@gustavoleguizamon6270 ummm the label which was home to such bands as the cocteau twins, dead can dance, pixies, throwing muses red house painters, swallow, this mortal coil, modern english, Lush, etc etc etc. was the gold standard for dreamy artsy music in the 80s.

@@fadedSF thx a lot for the answer! 💜

Tamaryn is great too

@@gustavoleguizamon6270 Check out the Lonely Is An Eyesore compilation of 4AD bands, which includes several of the amazing bands on that label. Sounds like they put that recording under their pillow, as they should.

Robin Guthrie

@@TheBlzbug242 ALL DAY LONG! Glad someone else heard the obvious yet never mentioned Cocteau Twins influence....

@@darrenayles5905 we are aware that Cocteau Twins already done all this even better. They are the masters. But this band is awesome too.

@@lovecraftmusic8717 Drab Majesty significantly better than CT

@@andreyandreyovich5454 You can't compare them because CT ended up making very different music later into their carreer, and did it amazingly

Not really original, but cool for sure.

crashmancer he's a full time member

Skeletal33 Glad to hear it! "Deb" toured solo for quite a while and said in an interview that it would probably stay that way, so I thought maybe Mona's participation was just for LA shows where they both live.

elkiecat it is 🖤🖤🖤

I’m definitely going to see these guys if they tour in the UK, this took me way back to my goth days on London 😊👍

Amazing sound, amazing band

Same here...I don't think I have ever done that....that's how clean their music sounds live.

They were doung a "Whats in my Bag" epusode and i believe it was Deafhaven that siggested it. Brilliant buy. No one mentions the Sisters of Mercy vibe with the drummer machine.

Es un respiro y un breve escape a la rutina.

Absolutely the voice and synth makes me return to 80s

Tal cual! Hasta revive cosas de la primer hora de Gary Numan... Genial.

righhtt??

You have to get back on, now more then ever

Drab Majesty is my drug.
