Sebadoh - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Lou plays guitar like the way he plays bass which is like the way he plays guitar.

Jason is on fire here, this version of Careful-- so raw, Viva Sebadoh

I'm pretty sure Sebadoh has delivered at least a couple dozen classic "indie rock" songs. After all, they practically coined the phrase in "Gimme Indie Rock". It's a safe bet that KEXP wouldn't invite a band that never delivers to perform live in the studio.

I saw Sebadoh in London early 91 or 92 and walked out half thru the show - they were goofing off on stage and the drummer Eric could barely hold his sticks. The band now of course is something else- solid 💕

did u know how much i love sebadoh ??

Everything Lou does is so much better live than in a studio.

I love this organic stripped down sound. It's like eating a fresh, natural apple instead of drinking some industrial apple juice.

My favourite band of all time.

Tbh Jason is the true power house of the band. His voice and guitar style are just killer. Always leaned towards his songs more than lou s

Keep The Boy Alive: 0:00 State Of Mine: 4:13 Interview: 7:33 My Drugs: 15:49 Careful: 19:36

Best I have seen Sebadoh ever - my personal high point was the "Nick of time" as an album recording - they are somewhat hard to love but this performance is kick butt- a trio with 2 iconic sounding voices and a rocking sound that really just mauls you into submission, such a great surprise!

Jason is a great vocalist

He modded that 12 string Gretsch to a tenor with the two bottom strings doubled up??? That's...really interesting actually.

They're like the masters of improv. They just let it fly

The best band in the world

Nice job on "My Drugs", Jason!

Yes! My wish come true: Sebadoh-Gig in Dresden at the Beatpol! Big thing!!! Thank you!!!

Sebadoh "never seem to deliver"? NEVER??!!?? Okay, if rock-n-roll isn't your thing, I can see that. But if you like modern ("indie"), guitar-based rock music, Sebadoh have several classics. III is a masterwork, and Bakesale isn't far behind. Their other, pre-Bakesale works contain enough gems to easily make a powerful 2-disc hits set. Obviously their early works are hit or miss, but when they hit.... KABAAM!!!

Man... This bass is amazing!

This is the first, maybe second KEXP interview I didn't skip completely. They are so funny! :)

I'd happily mix and master these guys all day if they ever go broke. My dream group to work with.

M? Doesn't make any sense to me they are completely different bands, I just don't get it. Are these people bashing sebadoh even fans? Eh, whatever. In my opinion they are one of the greatest bands ever and I know plenty of people out there agree. Can't wait for the tour.

I like it!!! Sebadoh, please come for a gig to Dresden or Leipzig!!!

I saw them play a couple of weeks ago in Sydney, amazing show.

AWESOME SUPER GENIUS SEBADOH !!!

solid as a rock! Thanks KEXP!

Awesome, Way to go Sebadoh!!!

awesome color!!!

great band

Coolest band on the planet

so fresh, so great as always... absolutely near to you!

Bass in careful needs to be way louder, its a bass song

I just recently got into sebadoh. Lou Barlow is cool, he does his thing and he’s good. Jason’s voice is awesome but he cannot solo... at all. Is that just his style of soloing or..?

That guy looks like Jesus with glasses.

This sounds better than they did live, and about as good as any other KEXP recording.

Holy shit, that bass is cool !

Kickass!

I'd always assumed Lou did vocals on Careful 🤯🤯🤯

Nice

The best

Finally, thanks a ton!

great Jason!

офигенно, особенно последние песни!

I have never seen a guitar strung like Lou's. It looks like octaves on the A and D strings, like a typical 12-string, and then G and B strings alone, maybe? Sounds like crap, but I love him and the idea to pieces!

It’s weird seeing Lou with a guitar and wailing on that fucking bass like a maniac.

Curious thing: the Low Barlow´s guitar is a 12 strings converted to 6 strings, the first time I see that thing

Yo, that JLoew song "My Drugs" is SICK!

I got Bakesale when it came out, it had a few moments but I only played it about 4 times. I do like Indie music a lot, but perhaps only the UK version.

I agree with Lou..He should play the bass riff on Careful better...Good performance anyway

mihalyne szabo I Liked it Thank you!

Ya think? I find "Keep the Boy Alive" and "My Drugs" to both be quite worthwhile, and they're well-played here. "Careful" doesn't live up to its greatness here for some reason, but I think "tedious" is more than a bit harsh.

tremendous

is that dale crover on drums?

im a Jason ,fan...

GOLDEN NU''''

They're two different bands man, accept that they're not gonna sound alike but don't go around bashing other bands because you don't like it. That's not fair, and it just isn't cool to those who actually like it.

The second song is great! It has the same provenance as a Firehose song! Same well, maybe.

mas eles tão gatos demais

ダイナソーよりセバドーの方が好き

Mexico Beach!

I'm glad this band is Fish Doctor-approved.

Where did this Portugal comparison come fro

Sebadoh > Dinosaur Jr. to me anyway.

sea bad oh!

YUP. UH HUHHHH. Sorry. I'm paying attention now.

Lou, get the fucking straitener, bro.

YUP. UH HUHHH

wish gaffney was playin with em!

falta a guitarra do j e a batera do murph

👍

My Drugs sounds like Nirvana meets Lucero in a great way.

what kind of guitar is that?

Completely agree. Sebadoh's albums have their moments, and I do play them often. But Lou simply doesn't measure up to J Mascis' skills, neither as a songwriter, nor as a musician. It was a good move to reunite with Dinosaur Jr. They are now producing lots of wonderful music.

why do bands and comedy i like to watch have the pop up ad "join a trial for clinical depression".I bet Taylor Swift etc don't get that shit but they should

I thought Brad Delp died?

somehow those two crooked yellow front teeth made him even more attractive or is it just me?

I don't need to sleep or eat.

Well one has to be frank, Sebadoh have always talked a good tune but never seem to deliver.

🤔

i didnt know nicolas cage drumed in a band

hahah what

That lad talks way too much.

I can understand why Lou wants to come out from under the Dinosaur Jr shadow and to make music that's nothing like that, but this is just tedious stuff unfortunately.

Careful really sucked. Way to slaughter one of your best songs.

Heard the whole set (in pain and XXXtreme bore) and wonder what it is that makes this band (obviously) popular. This weird anti-rhythm (try to "dance" or even shake your head to it), no real singer with a voice and this very-very mediocre compositions. I simply find them not-good. Example to put things in perspective: Portugal.the man = 10 Sebadoh = 3-

Only pseudo melodies. Listen To "Portugal" to hear true melodies!

Wanted to like this - but it's just too amateurish and tuneless. Marginal talent.

great band ...
