So young and so much talent. These kids are out of control. I can hear all my favorite bands (The Cure, Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Stone Roses) all mixed in pure perfection.
THE DRUMMER IS THE GLUE. It's an obvious overstatement, but it is incredibly taxing to play that fast, that tight, for so long. Lots of nice work on the floor toms. The rhythm section is totally locked in for rock.
Heroin's a helluva drug. It definitely gave them a certain sleepy / homeless vibe. But I'm glad to see Zachary and the gang clean now and sounding better than ever. Hope Colby is OK, he's an insanely talented drummer.
I heard Under the Sun heading to OKC last year - had to pull over and pull up the playlist from the station. Then I found this…takes me back for sure for whatever reason. Not a musician and don’t know lingo or styles etc, but this just changed me. Hard to explain but I’m glad I was lucky enough to hear them for sure
blipblip88 How do bands even go on tour? does a management company do it for them or do they literally save money and pay to tour out of their own pockets?
yep they also get some money to buy equipment but the record companies fuck them over and make them have to pay back. its a fucked up business now. you literally become a slave for it but at least you love your job you know?
I wish I knew, I think its always best to think independent.. save as much money as you can but also learn the politics so u can find a way to benefit either now or in the future.. I assume they save money and the label or management helps with booking and transportation ..
viktr estebn I guess you could say that. Just wanted to point out that nothing is ever original, but simply repackaged ideas from other fields of interest or re-workings on older concepts. But I do agree that the concept of originality is different to every person. I just hate using the word "original" when it actually isn't by definition. If you think of absolute originality, where a piece of artwork has no outside influences than such a thing does not exist in a human capacity as everyone is influenced by the world around them. Creating something absolutely original is like trying to comprehend a possible alien world where nothing is at all remotely similar to humanity. It can’t be done unless it is shown to us, or at least some aspect of it. If you think of originality as one person’s individual input on an idea that has already been around with a splash of the influences that has affected them in life, then you are closer to understanding creative works. But again, I hate using the word "original". I'd rather use a different word instead of bending the definition of "originality" to fit where it doesn't.
Love them. Their sound is just freaking wonderful. And for some reason it makes me a bit nostalgic for my youth in the 80s, but the music still sounds fresh.
"The lead of DIIV is like this little elf man that does nothing but travel the world and make people happy", Lamo, I couldn't put my finger on it, but you nailed it!
Meilleur live de DIIV... Les ingénieurs du son de chez KEXP sont des magiciens. Tous les live sont une tuerie. C'est souvent le meilleur live des artistes qui y passent.
because at around 20:57 Zachary Cole Smith screams "AHHHH, FUCK!!!" and i think it's hilarious :) It probably isn't the best part of the set musically, but I find it really entertaining. I think Air Conditioning is my favorite song off this video, it gets way more intense than the studio version, and he plays it differently live
It's time to bring diiv back to kexp!!!
They just released another new album. Please KEXP!
@@Peyote1312 up!
Saw them in-studio today! Can’t wait for the video because they absolutely killed it!!
@@lunarvisions7 on kexp studios? No way!!!!!!!!!
@@Vortex137-g3x yep :) absolutely amazing
once every few months, i come back to this vid and then lisn to diiv nonstop for a week.
how tf was this almost 10 years ago? goddamn time flies
Fern Fernis Fernie I know right !!? Crazy...
scary
word
true
We live in the futur..
So young and so much talent. These kids are out of control. I can hear all my favorite bands (The Cure, Joy Division, My Bloody Valentine, Sonic Youth, Stone Roses) all mixed in pure perfection.
New Order
Neu!
Absolutely!
Been loving this band, I just love how raw the sounds are, and how each song builds the next
Indeed. Blown away by them and Craft Spells. Brings a tear to your eye a little bit.
Happy 10 years to this performance
This performance needs to be preserved and catalogued as a national cultural treasure, imo.
Their music sends me to another dimension. And I don’t wanna come back.
THE DRUMMER IS THE GLUE. It's an obvious overstatement, but it is incredibly taxing to play that fast, that tight, for so long. Lots of nice work on the floor toms. The rhythm section is totally locked in for rock.
Wonder what he did after these i hope hes clean
Too bad he left the band. New drummer is pretty dope and solid as well.
Noticed this as well. He effing rocks hard in this video, and is 100% on point. Oshin era DIIV peeks at us from another dimension.
@@seriousst001he left to be the lead Singer of the strokes
Damn I always come back to this video
Brings happy tears !
Been here for eight years my man 🥺
@@Tallukeah same here my guy. Never gets old 👌
RIGHT? I miss this diiv
same bruh
The drummer is the heartbeat. You can tell he is giving it his all.
Hope to see these lads again on KEXP with their new album ‘Deceiver’... please make it happen.
@Chris Greene Agreed, I will miss the sound of both of their old albums.
please KEXP!
Here 12 years later, thanks to KESP
damn whatever the music industry serves us in the charts; the multi guitar trick never gets old.
The drummer really understands the sound of this iconic band 🥸
I love DIIV, I can't stop listen this band!
Hi
My story as well since someone handed me a copy of Oshin 10 years ago. 🤘
Starting at 7:49 you will hear All Apologies in the solo.
little trick listenin close...
+Ben Masterson I though that was just a impression of mine but you confirmed this
+Ben Masterson A little nod to Kurt. However they sound nothing like Nirvana...
+Cyrus Budd Did someone say they sound like Nirvana?
OMG yes
Top priority of the summer, get tickets to DIIV
So did u?
This holds true in 2024. Caught them on their first show of this new tour. 1,000% recommend for this summer.
0:00 Druun
1:53 Past Lives
4:03 Air Conditioning
10:53 How Long Have You Known?
13:35 Wait
16:36 Sometime
19:23 Doused
their music is like candy that never getting sick of it
I love that drummer... So sad he's left the band.
Excellent live by the way ! (as always on KEXP)
These guys look and sound fucking great. Such energy, despite a calm and dreamy lo-fi sound. Awesome and unique.
Heroin's a helluva drug. It definitely gave them a certain sleepy / homeless vibe. But I'm glad to see Zachary and the gang clean now and sounding better than ever. Hope Colby is OK, he's an insanely talented drummer.
I truly hope Devin and this drummer have found each other and are still laying down these amazing rhythms.
I like their live sound. Drums and bass are warm and dry with no reverb. Works really well with the echoy guitars
4 years later... Ya ever heard of shoegaze?
Hey Clob sure
@@NastyNatey compress me

they're my favorite homeless band....
When you ya .... Ya ....know..... This band has that special tingle in your ear vagina. If your ear-vagina doesn't get it... Good luck to you

Matt Yatt not anymore.
yesss bring 80's- early 90's indie rock/alt rock back!!
they sound like lots of bands, but they got something that make them very original and that's good.. i cant wait for the next album
viktr estebn Originality doesn't exist anymore.
it's all subjetive, just the way to see it

well, what about " on the edge of creativity"
viktr estebn That's a better way to put it. ;)
Love them. Their sound is just freaking wonderful. And for some reason it makes me a bit nostalgic for my youth in the 80s, but the music still sounds fresh.
They're so focused, concentrate.
This live is too short... Best DIIV's live ever !
I totally agree!
The drummer has a strong Stephen Morris vibe! Love it.
Wish he was still with em
I was thinking he was more of a lost Culkin brother.
@@davidbarrett4586 that works too!
"The lead of DIIV is like this little elf man that does nothing but travel the world and make people happy", Lamo, I couldn't put my finger on it, but you nailed it!
I'll be 45 years old this year and I think this is WONDERFUL music! :-)
Wiwie!
i forgot how bone crushing the second half of air conditioning is in this session
kexp is a wonderful wonderful thing and i've wanted to see diiv on this channel for so long.
god damn, these guys are so fuckin good.
Love the drummer's Neu! shirt...def has a Neu! vibe going on too
Theyre so good
An epic gig...Air Conditioning hits hard indeed!
one of my favourite bands for sure... mazing to say the least
So much melody, so many layers, and played so fast I can’t even comprehend
so dark!!! amazing, really teen spirit!
I'm a ful metalhead, but i looove this band, and Wildnothing and Daysleeprs. Love this sound OOH I LOVE MUSIC!!!!
NEU!!!
blank banshee!!!
such a great band. Neu! has an awesome sound
this performance is soooo goodddddd.
we strive to perform this good at every show lol
2017 and Im still here. this is great
Adónis Magalhães 2020 and I’m still here
Can't wait for their new album
looks like they meet each other in some psychiatric hospital
or art school
they did.
what are you doing on KEXP ?
what do you look like ?
HAHAHAHHAHAHHHAHA
damn the drummer was high as fuck
i think thats just the way his face looks
lmao he actually got kicked out for being a heroine addict LOL still love em
Riley Brooke They are all on H
coming from a recovering heroin addict he is not on h there. His pupils are huge so he is on an upper. heroin makes your eyes pin sized, look it up
Hj Jj i'm aware they all do drugs but colby was detrimental to the band because of how bad his addiction was
I'm addicted to this video. I'm English and I love this band, influenced by do great bands from USA and UK.
These guys are amazing and truly have their own sound.
For those who think rock will ever die, along comes DIIV!
Such good mind-relaxing music. Id die to see them live.
With all of the guitar layers they sound much like The Cure did back in the day. -Which is not a bad thing at all.
The drummer has a great t-shirt!
Still a great band even in 2022.
This live version of Past Lives is amazing
love the bassist !
Such a great performance
greeting from brazil !! amazing guys
El mejor descubrimiento que hice este año!🖤
Llegaste tarde, pero segura hehe : )
Belles performances pour DIIV et KEXP

Bring DIIV back on
They've been on again recently, given it takes a few months to upload the videos, I'd reckon it will be out in August / September time
These guys are fucking awesome
Nice youthful homage to My Bloody Valentine, Neu! and Ride. Excellent shoe gaze.
i fucking love this!!!!! i'd love to see diiv live one day!
DIIV, Beach Fossils, Mac DeMarco and Wild Nothing males me enjoy play guitar :D
"Doused" in supersonic speed is so fucking amazing!
