SLIFT - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

If only there could be a SG drum set

The KEXP sound engineering team are just on another level. Hats off to them.

Imagine performing at this interstellar level with your brother and your best friend from school! Really, how cool is that? Thanks KEXP for continuing to support SLIFT!!!

I saw them in toulouse (france) a few years ago randomly, i was walking in the street at night with 2 friends and one told me he heard about a concert in a house, it was at the last floor of the house We were like 14 people watching those 3 musicians play and it was amazing

"-How much distort and echo you need? - YES!!!"

SLIFT are just mindblowing. One of the most intense bands on the planet right now. We're lucky to have them. Give them the love they deserve.

The future of guitar rock is solid. Holy fucking hell, what a performance.

Came for the cool looking SG, stayed for that absolute awesome sonic experience.

I put this on while laying on the floor feeling shitty about life, just wanted some background noise. On that first drop, I literally sat up and my jaw dropped. Incredible work

What a sound. A true powertrio! Doomy and atmospheric without compromising clarity and openness. Plus, give that sound engineer a medal.

I discovered this band in a french festival... Amazing sound great so goooood

That’s a lot of sound from just three dudes. Glad I stumbled onto this powerhouse

I had chills the whole time

Oh my lord....THE TONES. KEXP has to have the best sound engineers in the game right now.

SLIFT SONG TIMESTAMPS 0:36: Illion 14:18: Nimh 24:45: The Words That Have Never Been Heard Another headbanger of a record from Slift. Can't wait to take a trip to the stars when I seem them Live in February

Hell fucking yeah!!! In a sea of top 40 garbage, it's refreshing to see rock n' roll is still alive. These guys are tight and fierce. Shout-out to the sound engineer...and the camera crew. Bravo!

Holy shit that bass sound. These boys are amazing. Also for new fans, check out their Levitation session recorded in an electron microscope. It looks like they're powered by a Van de Graaff generator, which is extremely appropriate.

I cannot begin to describe the pure joy and delight I'm feeling knowing that the algorithm sent me here to experience this music. it's like I've been transported into a parallel world where these three gentlemen get to live out my dream and make the exact kind of music I wish I could make. the exact kind of sound I want. thank you so much 🥺😭

Holy shit, just wow. This band is right up my street and I just found them.

My faith in humanity has been restored after seeing this performance, jaw dropping 😮

I am jealous of the drummer's perfect hair even through all the power.

Wow..... Thats what I love about music, it never ceases to amaze me, at my age you think you've heard it all then..... BOOM, life is further enhanced😊

He unlocked the second part of his beard!

Discovered these guys through KEXP, so happy to have another session!

Absolutely delighted to discover these guys haven't flamed out or softened - this is powerful epic stuff.

I didn't think anything could top Slift's KEXP session from 2020, but here we are. This is ultimate.

12:20 for anyone wondering, this is a bar of 9/8 and a bar of 7/8 repeated together. i typically count 7/8 as "1 and 2 and 3 and a", 9/8 the same but "4 and a" what makes it really hard to feel comfortably, with that in mind, is that the musical phrase starts on the 2nd beat of the 9/8 bar with a low bass note. so we're feeling music in what ultimately adds up to two very normal 4/4 bars of music *in literal time*, but that time spent getting there is split up in a way that is disorienting and chaotic. it provides a great tension and excitement building up to the release, and what a release! absolutely gargantuan distorted bass chords, heavier than the earth

KEXP, THANK YOU FOR CONSISTENTLY SHOWCASING MUSICIANS WITH AMAZING AND HELLA DIVERSE SOUNDS THAT IM NOT SURE ID STUMBLE UPON ELSEWHERE!

And kexp delivered me an other astonishing band I didn’t know abaut!

ALL CAPS COULDN'T POSSIBLY CONVEY HOW EXCITED I'VE BEEN FOR THIS HOLY FRIGGIN' COW IT ABSOLUTELY DELIVERED SLIFT TODAY SLIFT TOMORROW SLIFT FOREVER YEOWSAHHHHH BOOYAKASHAAAAAA

Saw them last year on their US tour. Hope they tour the states again in 2024 with this album, this rips. Thanks KEXP it was their first appearance that made me discover them!

Traditionally, I'm always late to every party. This... Right NOW... is the first time I've heard these lads. Holy shit. I'm just stoked that I got here eventually. Fantastic stuff.

My favourite medieval-space-kraut-progrock dudes keep berserking on 🙂🔥🌠

Need these guys in Australia ASAP. They'd kill as an opener for Gizz

absolutely insane

Thanks KEXP. I found another band to love.

The guitar tone The bass tone The drum tone That's a lot of tone

I kept turning up the volume throughout this performance

4 words: Genuine, completely psychedelic, awesome-

I first discovered these guys because of their previous KEXP performance and I'm SO STOKED to see them back! Hell yeah, SLIFT are absolute beasts.

Gojira and Slift, brought to you with love by Southwest France 🤘

How the fuck did this band get even better, my mind is simply blown away.

TOULOUSE!!!!

I'd click this video when I saw a SG on miniature capture of the video! SG player's always are mindblowing!

I was just listening to Ummon yesterday for the first time in a while. I think the universe was priming me for this.

Never heard this band. No words. Incredible.

Just starting 2024, and we got this amazing album. Slift fvcking rules!

Mars Volta really went back to their roots and I’m for it!

I'm experiencing shivers like never before.

Damn what kind of rock have I been living under and why I am only hearing of these dudes now.

Saludos desde COLOMBIA!! The World needs more bands like this !! ♥♥♥

The production quality and sound of the videos on this channel is awesome. Talented crew behind the scenes.

I get constant warning of exceeding the noise exposure limit. A musical masterpiece, which is so homogeneous, brilliant, present, crisp and wide-ranging in its intensity and outstanding sound quality that words fail me - runs in a continuous loop. The symbiosis of my favourite bands Vágtázó Halottkémek and Shellac in a new next level, in a higher dimension. Maximum respect and a deep bow to the sound and video engineers. Thanks alot SLIFT and KEXP! See you live in Berlin!

The french metal seen is grossly underrated internationally

Yessssss Slift on KEXP is the best news I've heard in a long time!

I had Never Heard them before. Such a RAW performance!

Holy SHEEEEEEEET! YT algorithm did me a solid this time around. New fan!

These guys are nothing short of incredible. Been a fan for years. They are musician's musicians. Always pushing the envelope.

The Album is so gorgeous its insane. This raises the bar.

This was just a month ago..... I am so bummed I missed them. My new favorite band \m/

This is unbelievable.

As predicted in the “shape of punk to come” still blown away.

I can't stop watching this one, and I have to give a huge shoutout to Slift and the sound people at KEXP. Damn guys this sounds better than many albums!

OMFG… once again, the KEXP studio is where the true magic happens… you managed to catch all the power _and_ nuances of these guys, _and_ took us all on stage with them -- astonishing!

KEXP shows are the best sounding music on YT

I took a random chance on the video being pushed to me (having never heard of them), and watched it all the way through. This is some of the best live rock I have heard in a very long time. They not just playing their instruments, they are absolutely summoning something through them. Great work.

Slift are the gigantic unstoppable asteroid we stare at, transfixed, mesmerised, before sweet sweet oblivion :-)

These dudes are next level.

The band that made me love rock again. Incredible.

This band is the reason I can run a 10K! Was a couch potato and this summer I was struggling through the couch 2 5k program until I started listening to the whole Ummon album. Loved it so much I can run a full 10K to it now! Am still a potato, but at least I can run for an hour and 12 minutes straight 3 times a week 😂.

this is like All Them Witches, King Gizz and At the Drive In had a glorious child. God I wish a radio station like this existed in Australia.

just saw them in Copenhagen a friend of my invited me ... I didn't know it but Mann for sure was of the best concert I even be!! intense and his performance simply another universe in his minds! merciiii

How three guys can create this much sound and ambience is beyond me. Incredible live performance. I have to see them live now

WOW, the low end and the drums are tracked so supremely well by your producers and sound engineers! Discovered this band in 2018 and no other band even comes close to their cosmic prowess and display of power. Hails to SLIFT🤘🏻

it's like the teleported from the last KEXP session .

Some French rocket fuel that we don't deserve, but need. Love these boys.

In capable hands like these fellows, the power trio format is going to be around for several more decades. My hearing won't be up to a concert but my spirit will be at every single one. My heart finds it good that the boys haven't mellowed too much.

I want this album! This is one of the best live rock bands out there. Bought already a ticket for beginning of next year...

I love Them they make me happy 😊

SLIFT never disappoints!!!!! 🤘🏻💗🤘🏻💗🤘🏻💗🤘🏻💗🤘🏻💗🤘🏻

Holy crap this is mixed perfect. Awesome band

That bass ROARS at 1:36

How have I not found this before! I'm floored! Most of the awesome bands I've found lately were on KEXP.

Thank'YOU Seattle ❣️

Slift is amazing! Seen them when they toured the US. They even signed my posters too! Very nice guys ❤

These guys are so damn good. The music hits that spot of being exactly what I wanted but never even knew I needed. Unexpected and inevitable. That and their skill and energy levels are off the charts. Haven't been this excited to see a band in a while.

Heavier and fuller than ever, can't wait for the new album!

What! The! Fcuk! Did I just experience?!?!? Sober af and I’m tripping balls rn. Y’all are amazing! ❤

Best thing I have heard in years. Wow.

whoa, havent heard from these guys in a few years. Still rockin those gorgeous custom axes.

Merci KEXP !! bought Ummon thanks to you. ❤ Hopefully won't miss their gig this time..

Good music! KEXP the productions--cameras, hosts, producers--high quality stuff. 🙂

I will confess, I clicked here hoping that Slint had reformed and this was a typo. The good news is, I am not disappointed.

I've only seen these guys on RU-vid and I'm toyally hooked. Come to NYC, please!!!

so much sound from just 3 people…its so beautiful

Been listening since the KCMU days in the early 90s. They continue to just knock it out of the park with live performances like this. Thanks Kevin Cole and the bunch of you. This old fart continues to thrive on this stuff. "Where the music matters."

great musicians, punch gems, hard and heavy psych harmonies (the bass have a very strong sound), beautiful.

AWESOME!!!!!!! They keep getting better every year

would love to see these guys tour with Earthless and Motorpsycho

I never thought such band would exist today until I heard and saw SLIFT. It sounds fantastic and familiar to my old ears (born 1961).
