Sunflower Bean - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Just have to say there are so many talented musicians of this generation. As an "old guy" my biggest frustration is so many of my generation are too stubborn to see the great music being made today. Instead of reliving the past, enjoy today and give these artists the credit they deserve!

pretty much every band i hear on kexp is the best they ever sound....they should produce albums for all these bands...perfect blend of real live sound and raw emotion on every angle....they capture it for me....its awesome..makes my day ...so greatful for the quality,integrity,soul of the kexp entity n all involved.....

He's such a sick guitarist! So many different vibes and styles coexisting beautifully!

This band has exceptional musicianship and musicality. I bet it’d be a real treat to see them live

This album and especially the song, I Was a Fool, helped me get through a toxic break-up. And essentially gave me the "umph," I needed to get myself back in check. Sunflower Bean changed my life and i love them!! forever grateful and I can't wait to see them Live again!

Just discovered this incredible Band and im sooo impressed,im really greatful for this gift

Adore this band. I implore anyone to play bass like that and sing at the same time! Very difficult. This lot are super talented.

That red telephone handset taped to a mic stand is iconic.

I really wish KEXP would make a deal with their guest artists and sell these recordings. This performance is just magic, I want it!

Memoria is my favourite song off of the album. I just love nicks tone , the dude nails some great sounds and has a similar style to Johnny marr with those bright arpeggios. Overall a very very solid band who all own their individual instruments! Loved the album so much , favourite of 2018 probably

Cheryl Waters for President! SB is a really good "together" band. Love 'em!

I really like this band! They offer a good variety in their sound that really stands out!

The crew at KEXP really brings out the nest in bands. Sonically and visually all there are to be commended. Sunflower Bean is excellent in their performance, with Julia's new bass giving her better sound and allowing her to play more challenging and engaging foundation.

Wow, that was perfect from the beginning to the end. And I love their energy!! They deserve to go even further!

One of the best KEXP from all time!!

I have been subscribed to KEXP for a short amount of time and every band so far has captured my interest, thank you KEXP and thank you Sunflower Bean for making such music to really enjoy, I think my teens would really like this so much.

Memoria 0:21 Only A Moment 4:29 Human For 18:08 Twentytwo 21:17 I Was A Fool 23:40

My autistic daughter loves the energy and can hear all the different music sounds thank you. Thanx bean💋

I really really like how this is hitting the spot right now.

why does the KEXP's versions always sound so much better than the original ?

Damn. They're so good.

Jacob on the drums is dope too!!! Thought someone should mention him too...

Every time I see them I get inspired, they are awesome live and I like how the instruments play off each other

J’adore ce groupe!! Merci Cheryl Waters pour ce set musical 👍🏻

They're all so hecking cute and their sound is sooo sweet!

I love this band, wonderful. Every bit.

KEXP and Audiotree Live always hook me up with the best bands.

Yay they're back! Seeing them with interpol in 2 weeks and im hyped!

Saw these in London last year. Great gig, even a few technical problems on the night couldn't take the shine off it.

So beautiful, rhythmical, guitar tone is great, 90's british pop's return.

Edit : his name is DR Danny Also who is the keyboard player and is he permanent because he fills so much of the space that in my humble opinion was needed filled for live performances such as “easier said” were it arguably plays a huge roll in the studio version

Muy buena presentación. Algún día los disfrutare en México.

Big up up Kevin Suggs on the audio engineering. Fantastic sound.

Rock and Roll will never die. This band is an example of that ☮️✌️

Amazing!!! I love the band

FIRST! I NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST OMG, I WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON KEXP!!

Their live performances are always SO GOOD

She is god damn stunning!

She's adorable and the guitarist is so good. His playing style kind of reminds me of Peter Buck from R.E.M.

You guys rock. Heard you for the first time on 100 lighting in Nashville and haven't stopped.

What a great band!

A wonderful band and lotsa fun live!

Never clicked on a video so fast in my life

A girl I loved with all of my heart for 3 years bought me tickets to go see this band for my birthday not too long ago. She dumped me over the phone when she was away abroad for weeks on her summer holiday after she had bought those tickets and admitted to me that she kissed some other dude. She also blocked me out of her life completely and I feel like an absolute loser and an idiot when I listen to this music. She lives down the road and I feel like being swallowed up by the world pulling me into it’s core in one swift movement grabbing me by my ankles. I also am guessing she is going to go see them with someone else Haha. Romantic love is pointless On a happy note , I messaged the guitarist of this band about his guitar playing and some tips once and he actually replied, what a legend.

She is amazing love this band ~

so much quality

Sunflower Bean is a great band. I play them on my radio show, The Weekend Warm-Up, on kdnk.org

My favorite band Sunflower Bean

Saw you last year in the UK with Wolf Alice, absolutely loved the 80s vibe I got from you!

Love their sound. Reminds me of Cindy Wilson taking a break from B52s.

I love your music is my inspiration always give the best attitude to my days

That high note on "Twenty Two". by Julia is so reminiscent of McCartney on "She's Leaving Home".

Jacob, the drummer, is so cute I just wanna cuddle with him

Súper Performan, increíble el intro 👌🏻🤘🏻🎸

i love them...... so much

One of the best bands out there

Saw these guys in Atlanta with The Nude Party opening, great show!

I love this band so much, we saw them live and it was the best show of my life and I think the style is awesome and inspiring

Such a great band!

Great version of "I Was A Fool" starting at 26:43...

Arte ❤

what a voice

Hermosa Banda

Julia has an amazing voice.

26:40 I was fool

Son adorables!!

Underrated af

I like them, yes, I like them a lot.

Keyboard player from Lemon Twigs??

Is there a name for that sound the guitar makes at 1:28 and 1:31? I love that sound!

Nice to see Danny the from the Lemon Twigs and nice vocalist.

A bit late to the parade, but I'm here. Somebody mentioned there's a Fleetwood Mac vibe. I hear that. Also, there's a bit of 10,000 maniacs flavor, as well.

yESSSS!!

Wow

Julia is so beautiful *w*

yeeeeeeees

Wolf Alice comparison. Not a bad thing. One love 💚👌🏼

#Brasil

is that Danny from the Lemon Twigs on Keys?

15:33 lmao she called the album Human Performance and not Human Ceremony I guess all these indie bands are getting into her head

Twentytwo is such a jam.

lindos amo vcs porra

Uff.... My chic.... 🇲🇽

great great band, creo que soy el único por aquí que habla español y los escucha :)

potential......................

The Patridge Family Bus guitar strap.

I was told this was the new Buckingham. All I got was a bunch of folks trying really hard to pay attention to their monitors and stay in time. Loosen up and do some coke! It’s not bad, pretty good even, but I had higher hopes upon hearing the word.

fleetwood mac 👌

What guitar is he playing?

She's hot

Just saying the guitar player looks exactly like a young Bob Dylan

They stole the keyboardist from Lemon Twigs! Also Memoria gives me serious 90's vibes. I could hear that song playing in the credits of The Babysitters Club.

So that's not Emma roberts

So hot right now

Stompboxes

26：40　I　WAS　A　FOOL

I would bring a note of some sort of dissonance here, but this time they are... plain boring. Whilst their debut CD was an exciting psychedelic flower pop gem, the newer album is just a rather bland mix of 70's pop rock without much of originality or uniqueness. This live performance shows again and with all the vivid certainty how uninspired and even sterile bland their music has become. Yes, they are young, sweet and funny. No, their music does not send any shivers down the spine this time. Rather, it is a very clean, very clear water with no taste or smell of flavor. I like their debut CD and their previous KEXP show was a thrilling ride. This time, it seems like a bored vapid stroll. Sorry, guys, but everybody has got the right to voice their opinion, mine is like I have shown above

The drummer has no friends 🙁

They really lost it with the new album, so sad... The first album was just perfection, such a unique sound and then they butchered it with the new album. Hope they find their soul back with the next one...
