London's freshest export Black Midi live from our London studio Sound brought to you by Void Acoustics - voidacoustics.com/ #BoilerRoom #LiveMusic #Music #Mix
Their music is impressive, but what really did it for me was the fact that this man wore a turtleneck for an hour long set at a place called "Boiler Room"
The singer literally changes the way he sings every song at every live performance. Whatever version of the song you hear at the time you'll never hear again.
these guys have an ability to constantly innovate and improvise. their chemistry is unbelievable, to be able to stay together with the stuff they pull off is something i haven’t seen on this level before.
they were playing john L for a long time before it was released, they even play an early version of the middle sections during a jam after of schlagenheim at the pitchfork music festival

jam 2 part 2 is an early version of "Number 5", according to their latest Maida Vale session at the BBC. it's really cool to see these songs develop in real time
they are all great. but the singer/guitarrist and drummer...man, you can just tell they are the backbone of the band, they radiate incredible musicianship
I hope someone is making a playlist of every version of bmbmbm out there. This one is somehow even more notorious than some of the harsher versions- like the kind of stuff you want to listen to in the alleyway
I've never seen such an elaborate long form composition so completely driven by percussion. This drummer is a front man of Freddie Mercury status, without ever uttering a word.
Not so sure about Future of rock n roll. Noise Rock has been around a long time as well as Post Rock. They just throw some slightly different pairings together. Exciting and fresh sounded, but not ground breaking or new.
The jam starting to turn into Crow's Perch at 16:30 is really smooth. I almost feel like the singer started playing that riff to signal to the rest of the group that they were gonna really start moving forward and close the jam: "Okay guys, time to play Crow's Perch, remember?" They wrap it up and then Cameron starts playing the bass part of the actual song. Its really great. That lead version of the riff was actually so well placed, I didn't realize what it was at first. I love watching these dudes communicate almost telepathically as they play!
People saying this is the future of rock, or that this is math rock, noise rock, post rock, ... obviously don't know about the no wave scene from the 70s. Look up James Chance, The Contortions, early SWANS, Mars, DNA, ... This is pure no wave AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!!
I see, I see. I sort of would've agreed because of that no-catchy no-rhythm thing they have mastered, but just saying, it feels like post-punk to me because of the attention to the atmosphere. The atmosphere black midi creates with all that noise and dissonance is what holds the music together? In any case, brilliant music! cheers, friend!
@@doberman_hund there are no wave elements in here specifically, but yeah I wouldn't call too much of their album material no wave. A lot of the jamming section here are super no wave tho.
@@lizardguy7624 i know right? and the version of John L on that set is crazy too. there are a bunch of crazy improv sections in the performance and theyre all awesome
gotta love that drummer i became big fan of that band in a short time i know they only will produce gold need to see them live, please come to brazil edit: omg, that's my most liked comment. thank you!! also, they were coming to brazil in march (2020), but covid19 came first. :(
I just saw them in SF a couple of hours ago. Amazing show. So many unexpected jams and grooves. Unfortunately they played so fucking loud that Matt blew his amp and they had to end the show early
46:07 so Hellfire was a thing back before even Cavalcade? Knew Sugar/Tzu went played unlisted at dozens of shows. This is sick. Geordie must write song lyrics way in advance for the tracks!
Hellfire was great as their third album. I'd honestly imagine the next album to be called "Witchcraft" or something with Magician as a 10 minute centrepiece.
There’s someone in the comment section under one of their KEXP performances that was arguing morgan wasn’t a good drummer. I almost shot myself when I read that
@@killme9534 kill me now...I think I briefly peeped that and purposely ignored it lml, anyone saying MS isn't a KILLER drummer is either jealous, or just a troll.

Yo, no disrespect but this band has absolutely nothing on any of those bands you named. Those bands were FAR more unique in their time. Those bands, even in the midst of musical chaos, had hooks, melodies and incredible structure to their arrangements. Black Midi aren't "bad" but they're more of a 90's nostalgia art piece. They're more an aesthetic than a band imho.
Josh Jones i agree. But for now... One day they might be more than what those bands could do. Bands like TalkingHead snd Television and Mars Volta also started as young kids with 200% energy and all they wanted was to give what hasn’t been given yet. Eventually they took to mastering their art and craft and sounded like a full, mature band. Black midi looks promising
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer dude black midi has mad hooks, think of how many times they repeat the riff in 953 just over and over but at different tempos and shuffles. Its just in a different way than Talking Heads or Television did it
@@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer haha you probably thought you sounded so clever typing that out. It's been 3 years - hoping you're still alive to see how embarassing this is!

The lead singer actually trains to mentally withstand discomfort. He turns the AC on in the winter and wears a jacket in the summer
just a classic greepster move

genius drummer
he’s gonna be the best rock drummer of the 2020s
Big up Morgan my g
can someone explain why everyone loves this drummer. i think he's really good but definitely not the best.

Unfortanely not.

Yea...i doubt that
yeah dunno about that mate

Dream they may most can’t keep up with a drummer throwing nutty fills at you like that I know I wouldn’t be able to 😂😂
Morgan Simpson is a force of nature mate it’s insane
killer, since i saw the first video i was like: " the drummeeeeeeer is crazy"
Everyone keeps praising the drummer as if they need to justify liking this band. The whole band is brilliant.
The question is why you feel the need to denigrate the drummer. Pretty weird. I mean, I have my theories, but...
@@BlackuLaLa I dont think you got the point of the message. Or then you're purposefully trying to start drama. Get something better to do, maybe?
The drummer is good, the rest are mediocre
@domestinger8805
Please, can you elaborate further on why the rest of the band may seem mediocre to you?
@@whitemouth8921 Because the drummer is the only member exercising any form of creativity. The rest are playing it safe or 'making noise'
I’m amazed by the drummer and his fills, I have no idea how he stays in time
It’s all about knowledge and discipline
he doesn't stays in time, he IS the time
Saw a comment on another video that said he could take apart the drum kit, put it back together, and still be in time, and they're not wrong! lol
the first song of this performance is amazed me dude.
im really beginner at drumming and idk what to learn to be this good hahaha
he is such inspirational drummer like pridgen
Morgan Simpson is an absolute monster on the kit, and it’s amazing how much of a hidden gem he really is.

Such a purpose

This comment is the most cringe thing I've read/seen/heard here.
shoutout to the sound engineer

This one is somehow even more notorious than some of the harsher versions- like the kind of stuff you want to listen to in the alleyway
somebody has a playlist of every live performance I believe
He did a new verse every single night
There's a new version where he plays bmbmbm/tequila in somewhere in America I believe
I think they're just using bmbmbm as their tuning song at this point. Still sounds clean once they get it going.
Geordie is actually such a good guitar player..
I've never seen such an elaborate long form composition so completely driven by percussion. This drummer is a front man of Freddie Mercury status, without ever uttering a word.
is nobody acknowledging the fact that we’re witnessing the future of rock? it’s like watching a child grow.
Not so sure about Future of rock n roll. Noise Rock has been around a long time as well as Post Rock. They just throw some slightly different pairings together. Exciting and fresh sounded, but not ground breaking or new.

Back at it again with the pOrPoIsE song

@@mastersoftoday the sign of a good drummer: sounding like you're on time when you're not
