If I die before Trey does, it will be a blessing. Because I will die knowing that he is writing intricate, wonderful music somewhere. Living legend. Praise the sun.
Crazy how Bungle used to go to the bay to see Idiot Flesh shows and here you have Nils at a Secret Chiefs show in the bay. Very cool to see the historic appreciation between them.
Nils if the fucking man! Such a kind man too. I met him outside a Sleepytime/Secret Cheifs show in Chicago 8 or 9 years ago after I got denied at the door using my brothers id. So I stood at the band entrance door and met him and Carla instead. Autographs, pictures and he chilled with me before and after he got his make up on. Ill never forget that night.
I fkin love SC3. I got dead cross tix for free and took a friend. Not super into it but the universe said "take the homie, he REALLY loves Mike". The universe rewarded me with fking Secret Chiefs Opening Act. They even played a cover of a movie theme that I though would sound great through a metal lens. It does. Thx guys. Trey and his gf or w/e were manning the merch and looking bored AF but I was too shy to go tell him how much I love his shit. I gotta get over that...
Daniel Carney I was actually going to post 'If I didn't happen to know he knows exactly what he's doing, I'd swear Spruance had no idea what the heck he was doing'. Amazing player, and sure doesn't walk the easy road.
Oh, it's a band called Secret Chiefs 3. They're playing a song called "Vajra". And the lead voice actor for "Tigtone" is in the audience enjoying the hell out of it.

Teaching my 6th grade percussionist this melody on his bell kit! In terms of style fusion-Secret Chiefs 3 are effing ballers. I say that with a grain . of salt because all the so-called artists out there who claim to be "on to some real shit"...take a seat and hopefully learn that you need to stop polluting the radio waves with teeny-bopper and contrived rap noise. Secret Chiefs 3 trump all. They even have breakbeat material.
Saw them open up for Les Claypool and Gabby LaLa in Asheville, NC. Me and my boy giy caught doin blow in the stall and we split from each other and I took my hat off and we were good. We stayed at the old school days inn. I also got kicked out if there for taking ving rips. Apparently there were lamo old ladies shopping and staying in the local flophouse!
It's hilarious though. Someone mentioned this band to me and I was like who are they.. never heard of them.. so I look them up and this is the first video I find. LOL
I think some of it its on 5/4 time , with those diatonic scales that Trey always talks about i can see why i lot of people are into this , i am just getting to put my foot on it and so far its quite great.
Same! I noticed F Bb F F Bb F tuning allowed me to pretend like I'm playing along...on The 7, The 15, The 4, perhaps on Seige Perilous, but Vajra tuning I cannot feel it yet. I bet you've gone further in in 6 years!
@@onesmoothtooth Yes wow, long time as passed. Ive made a tuning for my self based on this kind of minor chord. It allows me to play some of that middle East flavor and also some folk and rock stuff.
Trey, we went in silently, we remained such, we dropped our 19th century labels and peered further, we're here mainly not able to describe things, AND NOW WE ASK FOR YOUR TUNINGS WIKI. +++
Nils and his daughter dancing is a free bonus to the amazing music and musicianship!
Holy shit I didn't realize that was Nils!
Hahah! Totally agree!!
Haha awesome! I would have missed him without your comment.
That's a homeless man.
Nils indeed
Trey Spruance, Nils Frykdahl, Toby Driver, all the gods of avant-garde metal are here.
you said it. wow
I think I've ever heard music come from these persons. I have seen magic, never heard music.
And my dear friend and former bandmate Ches Smith on drums. He is badass !
Trey Spruance is an underrated guitarist.
beautiful understatement right there
Underrated genius!
Also water is wet.
facts. I first heard him with Mr Bungle. then he toured with Faith No More on part of that tour, he sounded great wiith them I think.
Most awesomeness is :)
If I die before Trey does, it will be a blessing. Because I will die knowing that he is writing intricate, wonderful music somewhere. Living legend. Praise the sun.
No better place to saw I’m about to leave my hotel in NYC to SEE SECRET CHIEFS 3 LIVE! YES!
Crazy how Bungle used to go to the bay to see Idiot Flesh shows and here you have Nils at a Secret Chiefs show in the bay. Very cool to see the historic appreciation between them.
the guys in Bungle were Idiot Flesh fans!? thats a dope avant-garde factoid!
Nils Frykdahl having such a great time, dancing in the back.
saw these guys open for Les Claypool in LA. great show!
Do you remember when that was? I wanna find the show
lol The little girl dancing with her Dad (?) in the background. Adorable!
Danzoc
Crazy! I hope they are related then :O
Godfrey Francesco Lol, that's his daughter, yes!
Danzoc
I thought so! Was about to post asking if that was Nils.
lovedefiesreality
I would know that face anywhere. Nils is the man!
Robin Mary Haha, hell yes!

Serious Mahavishnu Orchestra vibe !!!! Good stuff !!!!
That's true
I've never heard of them, I don't know what I just heard/watched, and now I'm kinda scared. I think I like it :D

I gotta get over that...
That was a yonder mountain string band trip with Jeff Austin!
One of the most promising fusion bands. They deserve to become massively popular and recognised. They need to tour more outside of USA.
praszu Actually they tour more overseas lately, since it's easier for them according to Trey.
we know them here in croatia! :-)
his collaborations with John Zorn are pretty great too.
Saw them 10 years ago South of France, so unexpected to see them play over here btw. Impeccable show.
Brilliant composition and performance!
johnbidochka it's a composition in carnatic music of South India.
Spurance knows what he's doing!
Daniel Carney I was actually going to post 'If I didn't happen to know he knows exactly what he's doing, I'd swear Spruance had no idea what the heck he was doing'. Amazing player, and sure doesn't walk the easy road.
Blows my mind every time.
it doesn't get any better than this
Seems very inspired by Indian classical music!
I saw them in New Orleans about 4 years ago. It was incredible!
Thumbs up people, seriously the down thumbs make no sense here, this is the best thing that Amoeba have featured in a very long time.
Mmmmmmm!! Familiar feelings this brings!! Thank you for all your efforts in becoming such joyous musicians!! Blessings siblings!!
Dope is a hell of a drug. Saw these guys with Lea Claypool and Gabby La La.
It's like all the characters from the assassin's Creed games formed a jazz band.
More like the KKK
Sunn O))) at 78rpm
before that game ever came out
@@taylordiclemente5163 m,
Totally did not recognize Toby Driver. If you haven't heard of him he plays in these two awesome bands Kayo Dot and Maudlin of the Well.
Best Avant Garde fusion group and all Their records are incredible.
Good to see Tom Waits made an appearance
Saw them a couple of times, even in the hotel lobby after a gig. Such interesting music.
Jesus Christ on a horse what in gods name have I stumbled upon now
Oh, it's a band called Secret Chiefs 3. They're playing a song called "Vajra".
And the lead voice actor for "Tigtone" is in the audience enjoying the hell out of it.
a pretty fuckin awesome thing. so congratulate yourself.
You'll never be the same after this...
Dude this is the very first time hearing/seeing these. This is fuck nuts.
ONE OF US ONE OF US!
The violinist is great. They're all pretty great.

Nils Frykdahl?! He really stands out in a crowd of weird people. Watch that guy...
Ches Smith is so killer on drums. I love Ceramic Dog as well
love the transition at 4:25 so perfectly timed!!
I read this comment at exactly 4:25 lol
I live about ten blocks away...how did I miss this!???

Yeah fuck kids and their creating art as a reaction to their environment! fuck them! more dads playing guitars!
Nils dancing in the background is the best
wow this is way better than i ever would have expected or imagined
theres a lot of things they do that u just cant do on a lil stage
davidevoid totally agree with you. And it's hard not to notice Nils Frykdahl getting down to this on the side. Super bad ass!
Tigtone himself! So awesome.

Damn!!!! Who knew the Ku Kux Klan could rock so fucking heard!! Just kidding, couldn't help it!! One of the best live bands I've seen btw!!
It's hilarious though. Someone mentioned this band to me and I was like who are they.. never heard of them.. so I look them up and this is the first video I find. LOL
this is def one of my fav chiefs line ups. i wish toby and matt would start some sort of project together
Such a tight performance!!
It is amazingly similar to the album. Fckin A!!
Jawas Rock!

Luka Magnotta i thought the same thing XD
Luka Magnotta I think it is!
Who knew that mages could rock out hard..
Back now for the 100th time and still ain't getting ear worms cause this is awesome

Fantastic
That dude dancin in the back is like me! I can't help but melt into their music, puts me in a trance like state & jovial too
Nils Frykdahl of the bands, ‘idiot flesh’, sleepytime gorilla museum’, and ‘free salamander exhibit’.
NILS!
Fantastic performance
Wunderbarer sound! Musik verbindet! Jeder gott ist für jeden was anderes. Für mich das universum... Mehr tolleranz und kein krieg deswegen.🙏🙏🙏
Where is whats in my bag with Trey?
So very well done!
just brilliant! i want to play with these guys!
Nils were dancing because....err...sleep is wrooooong! So he couldn't sleep.
I miss Mr. Bungle
Sick baby
sublime comme d'habitude!
Good on ya, Amoeba!
Where can I get one of those robes!? I want one so bad.
The Westcoast has had the most impressive experimental bands in rock/metal by faaar.
Nils!
I mean really .....can you beat this? This is music ?
I saw them in Australia many years ago. They blew my mind. 🪕🎻🪘
Real artists they are
what planet is trey from?
so fucking filthy hell yeah.
Wish I could have went to this
Still great!
Remember the game BLOOD?
Well...
Love it
It would be so cool to see what is in Trey's bag. Too bad it didn't happen
HIDDEN GEM.
Brutal
@0:12 Tom Waits approves this
Caleb Sweeney So close... :,(
maybe Tom approved of Nils' dancing
imagine them working together
I want them to come to England...
Awesome!
Banger
I heard of the term "secret chiefs" from conspiracy sites. I thought these guys looked like the mock-monk chant band, "Gregorian".
Could someone suggest where I can find something similar in a blue Grass style. I have found examples, but I'd like others
You can't go wrong with Bela Fleck for fusion bluegrass
IS THAT THE DUDE FROM SLEEPYTIME DANCING!????!!!
I commented b4 reading the comments...clearly
think before you act fool
read the comments nerd
"I commented b4 reading the comments...clearly" + "think before you act fool" + "read the comments nerd" = yeah, basically
At this point he's the dude from Free Salamander Exhibit...
Maravilloso!!!
Modern Progressive Rock, The Amps got bigger the sound didn't change.
w koncu cos kompletnie nowego w muzyce, tego potrzebowalem wlasnie
mahavishnu orchestra and the flocks vibe is here..
Is that Michael Cera on drums? :P
hermoso!
Side note *is that Nils dancing over on the side! Lol gotta be!
SC3 are cool
Trey, we went in silently, we remained such, we dropped our 19th century labels and peered further, we're here mainly not able to describe things, AND NOW WE ASK FOR YOUR TUNINGS WIKI.

what kind of bass is that?
custom built by Mark Sorrentino
They have a Kansas flavor on their music.
Good.
génial!!!
oṃ āḥ hūṃ vajra guru padma siddhi hūṃ
