The Twilight Sad - Full Performance (Live on KEXP) 

Thank you Robert Smith for bringing me here..fantastic band

there's so much sincerity and feelings in James's voice the body language too.These guys just became one of my favourite bands from nowadays musical culture.There's something real about this band.

I'm literally obsessed with this beautiful band right now. Heard for the first time last night opening for The Cure! We should know more about them here in the States!

I swear I must be living under a rock - or maybe it's just that music has been completely barren until I saw these guys last night opening for the Cure in Denver. It Never Was the Same was just... just transcendent. This is real music. Finally.

Here's the setlist with the timing of each song in the video for more convenience: 1. There's A Girl In The Corner 00:24 2. Last January 04:46 3. It Never Was The Same 09:47 4. Nobody 14:55 5. Drown So I Can Watch 20:34 6. Leave The House 23:43 7. The Wrong Car 28:42

Great band...every record so far is brilliant.

As a Scottish person maybe I’m being biased to say they’re one of the best bands going.

Thank God for Robert Smith ❤️ I discovered a lot of my favourite artists through him, and The Twilight Sad were the best opening act i’ve ever seen, i hope TS will tour next year, I want to see them

Moody, contemplative instrumentation and arguably one of the most beautiful baritone vocals to showcase in the last decade. Twilight Sad nails economic lyrical writing, too. Every aching second is a heart-tugger.

Listened to this 4 times in a row now ... Absolutely stunning ....

Oh goodness, this entire performance is absolutely amazing, but this performance of Leave The House is seriously on a whole other level. So good. This is why I love KEXP. Keep bringing us this awesome music guys!

As an American who has been a fan since 2016... cheers to the UK. I've never been but your country fucking rules in terms of music. I'm saving money and PTO at my company to come visit Cardiff, London, and Edinburgh in that order. Keep fucking rocking boys, you do it better than anyone. Love from America

This is one of the most amazing performances, by any band, ever.

Follow them since the beginning. So moving,vulnerable,deep

They proved that the real music still exists

Discovered these guys from a video game of all places back in 2006. Been top 5 favorite bands of all time ever since. I was sad to see Mark go felt like losing a family member.

One of my very favorite bands at the moment and for some time to come, for sure. Sadly, the enormous wall of sound that is usually conveyed in their music is missing here b/c of the poor recording. Well, I'm glad that James' voice is just perfect and wonderful and recorded cleanly. Love these guys!

You're not coming back You're not coming back from this She's not coming back She's not coming back from this There's a girl in the corner and she's crying for you Gonna die for you She's not coming back She's not coming back from this We're not coming back We're not coming back again You said you'd leave me and I won't forget I'm holding on and I'll see how far You thought you loved but you'll just forget You're holding on but not too far You're not coming back We're not coming back from this To all the boys you know They don't belong outside, outside, outside She's not coming back She's not coming back again You said you failed You dare not You said you failed You dare not You sold me You saved me You saved You sold me You saved me You saved She's not coming back She's not coming back from this She's not coming back She's not coming back from this

I loved these guys at the Cure in Montreal. They really rocked it! Perfect choice to open for the Cure

I'm so glad to see KEXP video of this one of my favorite band !!! so sad i never will see them alive...

Have seen them in october 2022 in munich ... Just brilliant.

I just saw them with The Cure at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland. They were fantabulous. I checked their stuff out before the show and quickly fell in love. James has this passionate spastic way on stage. He is so committed and unabashedly honest he can't hold back. It's so endearing. The best opening band for The Cure ever.

i don't ever want to meet the people who don't like this. saw the TS in brussels years ago and can still feel their energy today.

What a perfect band!

top ten favorite bands of all time!! they just sound magical constant goose bumps every time i listen to them.

You guys rocked in Charlotte!! So many people came for the show! Keep going up!!

amazing band .. great opening for the cure in Miami ❤ very humble guy and you can tell he gets lost in the melody, his dance and the way he kept looking up the sky.

One of the absolute best bands ever.

I saw these guys in Boston in like 2008 when they had like one album and I loved it. Glad to see they're still making music and they've evolved on top of it. Very cool.

this voice and this music, just addictive!!!

I really have no words, kind of 80´s with very nice atmosphere.

I have seen them perform last month March in the Paradiso, Amsterdam. (de Kleine zaal max. 500 persons). That same evening I bought a ticket for their performance in the EKKO Utrecht, Netherlands (max 500 persons).They deserve much bigger venues in my opinion. I think next year we will see them in the bigger venues in the Netherlands. Together with Frightened Rabbits they are one of those underrated Scottish bands,

they were excellent, beautifull voice! He reminds me of Ian Curtis(Joydivision) with his crazy moves!

Never ever gets old ❤❤❤❤ still shiver

how can u not love this seriously

So glad you will be supporting the Cure again. I think Robert Smith approves ;-)

Wow! what a great band! i just saw and heard of them for the first time as the opening band for the cure! now after they get done touring with the cure they will have a super fan base in the states so they can tour the usa as the head liner band! make sure you guys stop in philly to play!

The drummer is incredible on ‘Last January’.

Saw these guys last night in Maryland and they opened for the cure.. they were a pretty solid opening act and the music was perfect for setting up the atmosphere for the cure.. yeah it was a really good show :)

7 Years of these guys in my life!

Really cool guys ! Very well done! Melancholic and sincerity at stage..

My FeveRit Singer 3>. I'll go and watch them at 18. nov. 2108 in The Botanique in Brussels, together with my love and my son who turns 18 that day.

finally i´m seeing this guys live with good sound one of my favourite bands thanks from oporto

...... Simply amazing band.... I cannot believe I am just discovering them....

J suis fan de cette bande magnifique ❤

This band is amazing

just saw these Guys at the Cure concert! I'm a new fan

Wow Just Wow

I've seen these guys twice in Seattle last year, i love them!

Słucham..słucham..słucham..może kiedyś na żywo..MARZENIE.

the main reason, that the guitar and the bass is kinda muted is probably that the KEXP (or someone else) recorded/uploaded just the mix going into PA system, which lacks the instruments played loudly on the stage (guitar and bass of course versus keys, you can hear keys clearly). I visited gig in Vienna and I can tell you, guitar and the bass were pushing from amps so loudly, you dont need it mixed in PA so much. just to mix them together to whole stage sound. with keys louder it sounds sometimes kinda ,,Cure-ish", I like that.

They need to come back to the US soon. So amazing live this video does them no justice.

Just discovered them, mind-blown.

It's only the best for The Cure Twilight Sad was phonomenal in Atlanta love this track so much☆

i love so much the guitar sound

Merci The Cure de m'avoir fait découvrir ce groupe !

nothing more than the feeling i'm in to right now!

Just starting listening since they will be opening for the Cure in Philly ..wow his voice like a Irish Depeche Mode love it

This is brilliant

I can't wait to see them w The Cure in May :)

this is just...incredible

Saw 'em supporting Editors back in 2015 I think. Hooked since then. Fantastic (live-)band!

Love song!

who else went to the Cure and saw this opening band in person?

This band is great :-)

Fantastic songs!

This fucking band is so perfect.

Can't wait to see them in Glasgow next year (hopefully) after the pandemic is under control.

loving them

Saw them in Miami last night. Fantastic. Lots of great Indy bands as always from UK. Scotland is doing work. Frightened Rabbit is great as well.

great guitar sound great accent and lyrics

ohhhh divine

Excited to see them open up for The Cure, but would love to have them solo too! Come to the east coast Twilight Sad, would love to see a full set!

great performance!

i'm in love

still rockin'

refreshingly devoid of pretension. How a band such as Iceage gets better press than The Twilight Sad is beyond me.

Los acabo de ver hoy abriendo el concierto de The Cure en Hollywood. Son muy buenos. Me gustó mucho la voz de James Graham, es desgarradora.

OMG!!! Another reason to be eternally grateful to Robert Smith and The Cure......if not for his cover of Twilight Sad's TAGITC......I might not have listened to their music. Wow! What a pleasure this is. Thanks for the upload. XD

Amazing! ❤

Awesome 💕💕💕💕

I'm happy that I could see them live in Utrecht(NL), they were intense and euphoric and would love to see them live again. Sadly this performance does not have that vibe.

Our own Ian Curtis

beautiful i love it

Simplemente es perfecto

Profundo!!!

Great music, can't wait to see them with The Cure @ the MSG this Summer 2016 !!!!

Andy's guitar is suffering so much on this performance

Buenísimos!!!

sounds really good. Cant wait till tomorrow to see them with the The Cure!!!!!!!!!

Super!

I'll be seeing this band opening for the greatest band there ever was, The Cure. Will no doubt be a great show.

Poezja dla ucha :)

Saw them with the cure, very good band

Blocking people online is fucked up. But then again I’ll always be to unstable to have a relationship and having friends.

They need to turn that guitar up! Especially at 3:06 & 7:46

a light Joy Division Ghost on stage......

seems to me like the sound was recorded via a H4 or similar via line input however the recording device was placed on a mixer output that gave the raw input of the mixer out. Not the mixed sound.

un gros gros kiff

wow.....
