This is one of the greatest live videos I've ever seen made of any band, and was clearly done with love. I wish all the Bands were just Yowie that day.
Ran into this by accident and I can say it sure reminds me of old Kerosene 454 or Bluetip. Math rock is legit grooves and this is incredible. Takes me back to the days of ordering 7 inches through Maximum Rock and Roll ads. Sure beats the popular music, poor kids these days got shafted on that. +1 for use of microfiche!
In addition to the music - which is completely alien, absurdly brilliant, of course - another lovely aspect of this video is the different reactions from the audience members. In this regard, an evident prominence should be attributed to the blonde lady in red dress and sunglasses, who seems to be completely 'all high', plunged in rigorous and unfazed contemplative ecstasy. Anyway, this is one of my fave musical videos all over the web.
sounds incredible. my favorite track as of late. I grew up in St. Louis and am returning for a visit Aug. 19- 26. Hope yu're playing somewhere in town that week. I'm a musician based in Oakland Ca, and get excited when I hear something as fresh and full of energy like this
Impressive stuff, awesome! I'm really digging how the crowd is all into it and jamming along. Try playing something like this at a local record store or guitar shop where I live and they'd kick them out after the first few bars.
@@DanMongrain Hi Dan, fun seeing you here. Loved your Jibber & Twitch cover! But yeah, these guys are phenomenal. Nothing quite like discovering new bands and new music that just blows you away.
@@jaakkovahanen I'm here because I just did a DEATH cover for Slay At Home and the drummer Alan Cassidy (the Black Dahlia Murder) saw my Virus shirt and he sent me this link. I love strange, avant-Garde, interactive, unique and original...here we are!! hahaha Cheers!
@@DanMongrain Dude, running into you on videos like this and incidentally ALSO finding you hyping up Cardiacs... I could not be happier that you ended up playing guitar for Voivod. Been listening to the most recent album, your riffs are just otherworldly, fantastic job mate, you're the real deal. Thank you for all you do, there's not many people that do it, much fewer still that do it with such heart.
@@attenboroughfan1979 He means from 822 on - it is some poppy sounding guy called "So Many Dynamos". Kind of dampens the after glow of Yowie in a bad way. Silence would be better. I get this was from a showcase event, but that is poorly done, especially considering how great the video up to that point is. It's like annoying add cutting in after listening to great art, nothing against So Many Dynamos, but a loud random burst of their performance placed at the end of A Yowie video is probably not what they really want either.
cant believe how relaxed yall look while youre playing this shit... guess ive been in punk bands for too long haha! fucking amazing music as always, cant wait to give this album a spin
i discover your music today, the album from 2017. listen to the album, and now you are my new favorite band. beautiful stuff. come to serbia @@attenboroughfan1979
@@attenboroughfan1979 I can really appreciate how much you must practice. I play trumpet in brass bands but I have always used sheet music. Im in awe of people who have it all in their heads. Also, I live in the Blue Mountains near Sydney, Australia and there is plenty of yowie activity around here. We have a blues festival in Katoomba, you guys would go off big time. Lots of hippies here.
@@attenboroughfan1979 What are the guitars tuned to though? When I feel lazy sometimes play a guitar with heavy strings through a bass amp instead of my bass, but always tune it down some.
it is one of five from an album that will be recorded aug 26, 2016. stay tuned! we have other songs on here that will be on it, including one recorded last Saturday.
I feel like Yowie took every sound everyone has ever made with a guitar that anyone has ever talked shit on, and with it created the most technical and absract music you could ever hope to catch a deep groove on.
@@attenboroughfan1979 Are you in the band? I saw Yowie in Leeds some years ago, blew my mind. Certainly if you're in the area again we'll work something out he he PS This is a storm,er
@@inaminute9643 hey hey! yes I am the drummer. I remember that show well- that fucking tank, and etai keshiki! good times, good beers! I hope we can come back some day!
the answer is glaringly obvious--they play at a level akin to king crimson or mahavishnu orchestra, and if you do not know who those cats are, use this youtube thing to catch up.
Sorry guys just not into what you call math Rock. Maybe it's a 50 years touring in a major rock band, might have me a little bit jaded. With the kid with the baseball hat sort of like that huh!
this coming from someone named johnny roastbeef. you toured with a major rock band for 50 years? please post a video so we can check out your chops. maybe yowie will let you sit in and see if you can keep up.
@@DanHintz There might be too much au jus sauce in the way for him to do that at this point. That happens after over 50 years of roast beef touring, and that's nobody's fault.
Most of these maximalist-dissonant post-mathbands (Grand Ulena, Ahleuchatistas, Hyrrokkin, Upsilon, Inzinzac, Many Arms, Sajjanu, Cheval de Frise etc.) move way beyond that one source. And why wouldn't they? This is happening -now- and on. Yowie are one of those rare units whose contemporary might is just as worthy today as someone else's was 45 years back. Simply fabulous to know that 'basic' creative rock of this caliber is still being made out there at all.
@@richardtoftesund5694 Thanks for the recommendations, all these maximalist-dissonant post-math bands you listed are awesome! Could you recommend me another one that is noisy/crazy/got a piano?
@@WalterKlemmerPiano You need to og all the way back to the first part of the 80s and Belgian band Present for that. They released two albums back then (before reforming later; they were offshoots of the legendary Univers Zero), 'Triskaidekaphobie' and 'Le Poison Qui Rend Fou'. Is it noisy? At times, but it's mostly just extremely refined, dense and through-composed - and f'n DARK. Start with this: ruclips.net/video/JV3Wa5e1PuA/видео.html

No this was part of an annual event we do every year where we make a bunch of live performance music videos in one day. So it was only this one song.
Need footage of just the audience struggling to find a pattern they can nod their heads to.
the people standing in the window feel the groove
Me an intellectual copying the guitarist(s)
The white cap male gets it

i love the guy who tries to walk out and stops DEAD in his tracks, you can literally see the "oh shit this is cool" appear on his face
These guys are legends
like the elusive Bigfoot
Captain Beefheart at 60's-70's,Fripp,Zappa,atonality by Cage,Varese...all that stuff combined with modernist way and we are so happy! Great band!
100% Yowie
Bless you Yowie for bestowing this wisdom upon us. I am truly a believer now🙌
1.25x is accelerated wisdom
Yowie is god!

here she is! yowie.bandcamp.com/
its the best one yet!!!
thanks so much!!!
A band named after the Australian Sasquatch?
Precisely.
ive been looking for something like this. it was in my head
Before you found it? You had a premonition? If so, we are impressed.
Didn't know my favorite album of the year would come so soon!
I love Yowie ever so much! They need to play Chicago more!
get us up there!!!!
It's become a daily tradition for me now to watch this video at least 8 times a day.
Still going
@@tardwranglerwithouttheb don't give up. we are counting on you.
Just when you thought you had heard it all. BAM!
I keep coming back to this video wishing this recording was available somewhere to listen to besides here. Awesome shit.
+Alan Cassidy we are working on getting into the studio. should be within the next few months. stay tuned!
+Alan Cassidy new album in early 2017! (sorry we're slow)
aug 26 we will be in the studio!
fyi Alan, the album is now mixed. should be out soon
can't waaiiiiittttt
actually mayyyyy be my new favorite band
thanks, Colin! we've been around for 17 years, though. We are new on a geological scale for sure.
i discover your music today, the album from 2017. listen to the album, and now you are my new favorite band. beautiful stuff. come to serbia

Love it. Got all 3.
a very good job to whoever made this video.
that would be Bill Streeter and the crew at Lo-Fi Cherokee
I dont know how did I get here, or who are this dudes playing their Instruments... But im thank full I did it... 😲🙏👌💜
it's a me! we have the musics yowie.bandcamp.com/music
amazing album, guys. you killed it
thanks, Aldo! Hope to have another for you in...well...a bit.
Yowie's new record is set to be released on february 22 according to their label (skingraft records) in case anyone hasnt heard
new album: skingraftrecords.bandcamp.com/album/synchromysticism
good shit my man
it's 4-21 for the official release date, fyi.
yowie.bandcamp.com/
saw them - by chance, in berlin .. what a happening !
we loved that show! hope to come back soon!
Holy shit this is so dope. Nice find Lo-Fi STL!
Genius
high praise. album is out, if you want to hear more: yowie.bandcamp.com/
Sounds a bit like Primus @ the 5 min mark.
Everything sounds a bit like Primus if you have a Primus-ish orientation to it. Don't believe me? Try it.
at least 30,000 of these views are from me. is yowie still going?
Thank you!!!
Hell yes, we are. New album to begin recording in January, and one festival booked so far.
Mind blown. How did I not know.
now you have no excuse.
it's heaven !!!
facebook.com/events/597162423816264/ Yowie plays again on Friday.
The Angst! Got to fucking love it.
Woo hoo!!!
A lot of King Crimson influences
nah
I am referring to tracks like Thrak
@@MrDaver85 I am thinking convergent evolution is the best explanation. Not any insult to King Crimson; just none of the band members were into them.
oh boi this is awesome! :D
Anyone know what pedal the... "bassist" is using for the octave down effect? I can't see a pedalboard.
there are no pedals. it's all technique.
+Shawn O'Connor oh I think I figured out what's going on now, thanks
no worries. we will be in the studio this weekend, finally!
Bass VI?
@@brainbox9219 no- something weirder!

Sounds like Pavement under drugs. Someone know the album?
yowie.bandcamp.com/album/synchromysticism
Wow, this song is a lot more controlled than their other stuff. Not bad, though, just a lot slower.
watch in 2x its rly good

How do they remember how the track goes?
We practiced for a really, really, long time.

oh shooty!
Part at 5:02 wow
I hear Laurel
I smell him as well.
This band sounds like being attacked by a dog in a junkyard under a full moon
So you liked it then?
@@Lofistl loved it
@@dylanhall6355 wow i thought for sure we sounded more like being attacked by a dog in a junkyard under a harvest moon
What... and the new album is going to be on vinyl... This is all just the absolute perfect level of disgusting.
tis available on vinyl right here: yowie.bandcamp.com/
what kind of guitar is the one guitarist playing? is it a guitar strung with a bass string? or a baritone guitar?
neither. it's a regular guitar that has some very low gauge guitar strings on it, but they are guitar strings
@@attenboroughfan1979 What are the guitars tuned to though?
When I feel lazy sometimes play a guitar with heavy strings through a bass amp instead of my bass, but always tune it down some.
@@NONAMEACCESSIBLE the "regular" guitar is CGDGCD
Guitarist looks frighteningly similar to Tim Smith from Cardiacs
he smells that way, too. just like Tim.
They've never been seen in the same room together. But we're working on that.
Makes me think of Sean Lock too.
The switch that happens right after 4:48
The woman in the red dress is the least impressed person in the world.
