Failure - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

I dig his bass tone so hard

Another Space Song is still my favourite

I don't understand why faliure weren't bigger in the 90's, they're waaaay more technically advanced than any other 90's band and are just so proficient at their instruments

0:30 - Hot Traveler 5:32 - Another Space Song 19:03 - Atom City Queen 23:32 - The Nurse Who Loved Me

This engineer deserves a fucking award. WOW this mix sounds fantastic! One of my favorite bands ever, too!

Flawless blowing hair.

Their sound, just their sound....space, cosmos, drugs, space, PURE 90s vibe! just perfect sound!

Bring Hum to a session, please!!

Strangely beautiful... awkwardly calming... weirdly welcoming... hauntingly poetic.. So glad these guys are back...

in my opinion this is one of the best mixed KEXP sessions ! !! ! it just sounds so awesome

Oh shit, so happy right now seeing failure.

For a radio studio, the sound-techs did an amazing job. This shit sounds incredicle

Fantastic Planet helped me so much when I was strung out on painkillers. During the addiction, and after I kicked and got clean. When I was using, I was trying to deal with a bad breakup, and the album was just such a great escape while I was escaping the world and trying to find my own meaning in life. Then after I got clean, it serves as something of a reminder that I hope to never be in that place again. It's such a joy to have Failure back in the present day!

Amazing performance. This band just reeks authenticity and understated brilliance. New record WILD TYPE DROID is spectacular. They're 3 for 3 since reuniting. I'm grateful for their gifts.

Wow I'm french and I never heard of this band before, this is one of the biggest discoveries in recent years.

this might be one of the best KEXP sessions in history - not just b/c of Failure but the sound/video engineering. so spot on.

A band you can actually feel. The first time I heard them was on my radio in the morning during the 90's before I went to school. Instead of an alarm it was the radio, and Stuck on you was playing - I'll never forget it.

The guitar and bass outro at 9:36 is phenomenal. I love how some of the notes sound off pitch yet the exits in absolutely harmony with the song.

Love this band so much! Failure ..along with Quicksand should of been huge in the 90's.

i love how clean it sounds

Blessed to see Failure open for TOOL in '94 in a tiny club in West Palm Beach, Fl. Blessed again to see Failure "open" for TOOL again in 2016 in Denver, Co. They played the night before. Fantastic Planet in it's holy entirety. Sometimes I don't realize how lucky I am.

Extremely underrated band honestly, they should be waaaay more famous, their latest album became one of my favorite of all time

How did I miss this band? Amazing talent.

"I've got no Houston to wind down to, I've got no protocol.". man this band is incredible.

It's great to see Ken Andrews and the guys together again, and releasing new music as well. I never understood why *Fantastic Planet* didn't get more attention when it was released.

26:57 When Ken shakes his head in agreement while singing the "pharmacy keys" part.... kinda says it all.

This is just gorgeous, I love every song more than the original recording.

Saw these guys at Lollapalooza 97 in Kansas City. Most underrated band ever

The host did a great job asking questions. Props to her.

I wish this was an hour longer!! Soooo happy they're back!!

Another Space Song, man..... great song!

We're all kind of blessed all these guys are still around and healthy.. A lot of this Era is just dead and gone. I'm excited to see where this goes, awesome show!

My friend told me about this band. I enjoyed it very much

God I’m so glad I discovered this band without trying to find a something old yet new to me. I was born in 93 and as a musician I love this type of tone and guitar technique

Oh "The Nurse Who Loved Me". Thanks a million, great to hear!

Finally it is now time for the rest of the world 🌍 to take notice. The greatest f'king band on the planet. 😳 💥 -FAILURE- 💥😳

Great to see these guys back in action and giving the younger acts a run for their money. If you can see them live, I highly recommend it!

One of the best bands of our time.

Wish I saw them when they toured with Deftones. Failure are reminding me of all sorts of awesome 90's bands I'd forgotten.HelmetSmoking PopesQuicksandOrange 9mmHandsomeGarden VarietyChavezShinerSmall Brown Biketons more...

these songs are even better live! great performance 10/10.

Kevin Suggs, you deserve so much more recognition! Whenever I see a set with solid sound, I open the description and your name is right there, great stuff!

Great example of what modern amp modelers can do. I believe both are playing through Axe FXs. XLR straight to the panel. For those who commented on the mix, that's why it sounds so good.

What a GREAT mix..thanks Dave Gaume & Kevin Suggs

Incredible sound mix on this. That bass tone is seriously cool

without a doubt the one of the best bands ever!!! the sound is just so perfect!!

I found MAGNIFIED at my local music store when it released. Thought the cover was badass, track list looked good, so gave it a shot. Blown away ever since!!!!

So incredible seeing them. Another Space Song will always have a special place in my heart. I would love to see them do Heliotropic during one of their radio station sets and they should totally put Moth into their live set.

Some of their tracks sound like alt metal mixed with space rock, some others are like grunge mixed with space rock... I don't even know their entire discography but I can already notice how versatile and good they are as a band, wow! I can totally understand why so many people love them.

The 2 albums they’ve made since reforming are just as great as their early stuff IMO

Failure was so far ahead of their time I listen to them a few time s when I got the CD and shelved it thinking what the hell is this Played it years later and thought boy this is great stuff . Why did I not listen to this earlier .

They are one of the best bands in LA. They change my life.

Kelli always has the perfect, most musical fills. The transition out of the bridge is masterful.

Wow! One if my all time favorite bands. Such a unique and talented group.

When I found this guys, and saw all the comments going like "Failure the most underrated band ever" etc. I thought fans were overreacting. Now that I've listened to all albums and tracks, I can deeply understand what me and so many have been missing. Even after they came back in 2021 with Wild Type Droid, a great album, and some of the best musicians like Maynard Keenan, Dean DeLeo, Troy Van Leeuwen showing so much appreciation and respect for them, they still don't have the recognize they deserve. I think they belong to that class of artists ahead of their time whose art will only be really recognized in a distant future.

This sound is huge. Nice.

"How about an old one" Loved it! One of my favorites off that album!

I keep coming back to this. Beautiful.

Not a bad performance for being the first time in my life I come to listen to these bloody monster musicians. Thanks god (or whatever exists beyond our limited senses) for bringing shuch a wonderful new musical discover to my existence. But, most of all, thanks to Failure for coming back

I used to see these guys play all around LA back in the 90's. They were so good. Glad they're making music again. I had to stop listening to their first two albums, the songs made me wanna do heroin again. Enough time has passed, now I can enjoy them and not worry that it'll trigger a relapse. I can even listen to Dirty Blue Balloons. : )

KEXP is awesome for having bands. this is an awesome band!!

These three are excellent musicians! Thus is my first time hearing of this band! ❤

What a great performance and the sound mix is amazing as well!

Such a huge sound from just a three piece rock band. God bless those sound engineers!

I saw them at the show later that night. Great fun was had by all.

Another Space Song sends me exactly there...... Space.... Love it.

The bass and guitar tone with that SNARE is a powerhouse

I saw them in SF on Monday. I'm so glad these guys are finally getting their due after all these years.

what awesome chemistry these guys have!

how come I never fucking heard of them in the 90's?! I discovered them in 2012.

this band inspire us so fucking much. absolutely love them.

Great show great performance..fantastic musicians

Amaze Balls. Great quality and sound. Sick set list to play too. Discovered this band a year ago. Changed my World.

The Bass tone is phenominal. and the drumer concentration (and skill) is awe inspiring.

They sounded amazing here.

Man.. I ❤️ their performance. Very inspiring. Thx Failure & KEXP

Amazing live performance. Love Failure.

So sad to be underrated, but also so great to be that far ahead of your time. I’d never forgotten Replicants’ cover of Cinnamon Girl which got played a little on my local radio station. As I was only 14 at the time in 1996, I had no real way of finding out who was behind it. Now I know! (My station never played Failure that I can recall.)

23:30 Don't miss out this song beginning to end - the best ever KEXP performance

Thank you for this KEXP! And thank you, Failure! Can't wait to see Autolux on the show when their album drops!

I still have the video for Stuck On You recorded on VHS.... This live its brilliant !

Ken's voice has always been one of my favorites in rock, he still sounds great - the whole band does

Your right Ken. Significant appetite for new material.

I love Failure, Fantastic Planet is one of the best albums of all time

when it ends and you hear her go "oh my God" 😂

Wanted to add my voice to the "I can't believe it took me so long to find these guys". Some of my favorite bands over the years...Led Zeppelin, Rush, Van Halen, Queensryche, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, Live, Smashing Pumpkins, Tool, Muse, others...feel like it's all been leading up to Failure. Discovered them with the talk of taking off the recent albums off Spotify. I believe Fantastic Planet is now my favorite album ever. These guys are so talented...

This was just unbelievable. Was going to bed but now it's gonna be hard to...

These guys always bring it.

These guys are great! Just love them!

Love KEXP and love Failure. I thought she had fantastic questions (no pun intended), a lot of great q's around recording and their process to deliver such sonically interesting music. Fucking great to hear they still focus on the album and record songs as a whole and avoid multi-tracking. So much music today is overproduced, one track at a time. Even great artists's from the 90's (cough cough... Trent Reznor) have let that have a noticeable impact on their sound. Another comment about their new younger following: great to hear i'm not the only young music listener with a brain... I grew up in the 90's, but i'll admit, I wasn't on the failure-crack-pipe until about 5 years ago. Great all around...

i love failure everything they ever did was gold! i wish i had got the chance to see them.... oh wait i did and got them to autograph my cassette cover in vancouver bc

Basslines soooo goooood.

this performance is one of my favorites

soooooooooo glad i've found this band, better late than never !

Failure didn't quite get the recognition they deserved in the 90's. Their fanbase grew by leaps and bounds in their initial absence and now they've come back with some of their best material. So happy to see them active.

This band actually scream 'Anemoia'. Being born in 96 I feel like they perfectly encapsulate some cosmic nostalgia I never really experienced, but it keeps me coming back to them again and again.

6 short years ago and not a single grey hair to be seen. Crazy how fast that happens. Loved you guys in SF a few days ago!

Goosebumps still. Amazing. Caught em once at a weird little "showcase" gig at the Viper room when Fantastic Planet came out in 96'. The room was filled with industry suits checking out their viability, me my buddy Max and like 5 other fans. The 7 of us were going apeshit and grooving while the suits looked on in wonder. I brought a camera to that show and just rocked out. Kinda wish I snapped a few now. Stoked to see you guys still thriving.

so glad this happened. You guys rock.

Fantastic Planet...was my Highschool years. So many times, i listened to tthat album, and magnified HIGH AS BALLS. love Failure
