Ensoulment the best new Album of 2024 ! So glad to have Gillian’s vocals back… we missed her in Vancouver in last years tour… she just adds that additional layer of beauty… Thank you for your music these past 40 years.
this really took me out of my comfort zone...glad i stuck with it...interesting music...he certainly has some opinions which is what we need a lot more of these days!! refreshing...thanks KEXP :)
Fuck I'm old. 😢 Infected, Soul Mining and Mind Bomb were staples of my teens growing up on Long Island, NY. Shoutout to WLIR, the iconic radio station that played all these new wave British Invasion bands. Love this version of Slow Emotion Replay. Barrie Cadogan doing a great job (Johhny Marr is unreplaceable). I think he is playing a Jaguar just like JM plays!
Matt just has the best voice. I could listen to him talk or sing all day. I'm now officially on a The The kick, remembering when I discovered them in my late teens when Mind Bomb came out. I was obsessed with The Smiths at the time, so I was keen to check out The The when I heard that Johnny Marr had joined them. Mind Bomb and Dusk remain favorites, and the rest of their catalog is a great journey as well. This clip was a true delight after an exhausting day of work. 😎
Thank ya a lot, Matt! I remember the first times I heard you on my favourite Rock Station in northern Italy ( 94.3 Mondoradio Rock Station) with "Sweet bird of Truth". Every time you're interesting, fresh, new and outstanding!
You're lyin' when you say you love me, and I'm lyin' when I say I don't😶🌫😎 btw...This was absolutely Incredible!!! This is really strange...two days ago, I happened to pull "Infected" vinyl out and had an incredible listening experience...and just a breath goes by and this wonderful music came to me...Thanks Matt for some of the most long-lasting songs from the 80's
Wonder what Johnny Marr thinks of the new rendition of Slow Emotion Replay.. they've taken away the soul of the song. At least James' bassline is still there.
The The on KEXP ... I've a Certain Smile ;)
We are so fortunate to be living in the same era of The The
the The The!
Almost half a century now…
In the same era of RUclips where you can now actually successfully search for “The The”
And to have Cheryl Waters!
@ Yes! Loved how emotional and joyous she was to see them.
Barrie Cadogan. Impressive as always 💯👌
And Barrie Cadogan on the Guitar… niiiice!
Audio engineer needs a pay raise as usual. Awesome sound. Not listened to The The in years... Infected album.
Yes, great sound 👍🏻
Still so good....been a soundtrack for my life since the 1980's....Thank you
And out of nothing comes THE THE.
Brilliant!
THANK YOU KEXP!
Superb!!

Absolutely amazing performance. Always loved “The the” brilliant.❤
One of the better songwriters in the market
Fantastic. Flawless!
Oh the soothing power of Matt’s voice is phenomenal 😎
The new album is gold. His voice is like none other. They are remarkably wonderful live if you ever get the chance!

Check out the album Soul Mining (1983) The first song may seem jarring but the rest is brilliant song writing. I memorized every word as a youngster.

Wow, the first time I cried watching a "live on KEXP" performance. So special to see Matt interviewed by a legend such as Cheryl Waters.
I honestly have to ask. Really?? Why??
Cos bands like this are two-a-penny in English pubs!!!
❤ somebody I used to be…

That metamorphosed rendition of Slow Emotion Replay owns my heart and soul.
This lineup of this band is just so good, guitar player is on point and has excellent taste in guitars.

I love This is the day so much
Love it!

Been waiting for this 🎉

From the very first moment of this performance I thought to myself … mate, this reminds me of "Dusk".
oh my god
A thoroughly magnificent British act! Nice one Matt - keep on keeping on.
😍
"We cheated, we stole, we lied." - Mike Pompeo "We came, we saw, he died." - Hilary Clinton. Nicely rhymed by the great Matt Johnson.
And I caught that Beatles reference Matt!!! (Old enough to know better (cry baby cry...))
Lynch and Badalamenti would have appreciated this 😢
Wish they had performed “Uncertain Smile”
Jules is just too busy these days I guess 🙂
Shame no Dogs of Lust.

Jesus… 🙄
Heaven forbid that a band re-creates/refreshes/reinvents their own song . . . .
The The. Mediocre at best. Now mediocre for pensioners!!!
Opinions are like arseholes, everyone has one yet some of us are one.😂
