Zack Van Sant Hey Zack-what a typo...he's not my father, he's my son! Senility is not for the timid😎. My dad who was with Patton's Third Army when they met the Russians at the Elbe River died years ago; and he didn't play bass!.
Peter McCullough You must be incredibly proud of your progeny. He's one of the best in genre filled with amazing bassplayers. He get's over looked, but should be considered up there with the likes of Roger Manganelli, Matt Freeman, Brian Robinson, and Flea.
back in high school, streetlight manifesto got me through some tough times. your son is part of am amazing group that never fails to impress and motivate me to continue my music career.
We’re seeing a unicorn of a band here. Never again we will see something this unique and tight musically. So glad I had the privilege of seeing them live as many times I did. This band literally changed my life, I’m across the world indirectly/directly because of them. A once in a lifetime group. Incredible.
I'd imagine two main reasons: 1: lyrics - there's nothing wrong with them but they have somewhat limited radio appeal, its not about gangsters, cheating country girls or whiskey 2: mixing - being a 7 piece, with lots of horns, complicated rhythms, the track mixing sounds kind of muddy at times and could be difficult for a mainstream audience to feel the ebb and flow of tracks definitely not trying to be negative, but when answering questions like this I feel its necessary to be objective
1) Too unique and different from the familiar mainstream sound. 2) inconsistent releases. 3) problems with previous record label and no desire to work with a label in the future. 4) not going to sell out/ won't be marketed with sex appeal/ no fashion stuff just music/ little usage of social media. 5) the music industry is falling apart and pushes easily marketable crap and pays off radio stations to play said crap, while less popular good bands are so common that nobody could possibly find and listen to them all.
He’s insanely talented. Few people can navigate a kit with that much precision and adaptation. Everyone in this band is extremely talented, but Chris is a fucking prodigy. (So is Tomas, of course.)
Let’s not forget the drummer, either. That dude has an uncanny sense of rhythm and an insanely unique, ever-changing style. He’s not quite Danny Carey, but he’s fuckin UP THERE
This could very well be the best live recording of a sky performance ever. Seriously, you listen to the studio version of this and you think "this is so fucking awesome, there's no way anyone could replicate this in real life". And yet here I am, witnessing an even more incredible version performed live.
Streetlight takes ska punk music to another level. Still got the same energy, but the musicianship is incredible. These guys shred. They also got some kinda Eastern European flavor to them, anyone else hear that? I'm reminded of Gogol Bordello
+ Will Портер, Hi, try to listen Dirty Heads, maybe Sublime, Pepper (NOT Red Hot). Im russian, but i love that music, so we have 1 nice ska-punk group - Distemper. Their most songs are on russian, but some are on english. Try to listen) It's nice to find a kindred spirit)
+Fan Tast Я сам слушаю ска-панк уже длительное время, одна из самых любимых российских групп - spitfire. А из западных streelitght manifeesto, reel big fish, talco, ska-p. :)
yeah, they a very eclectic mix of inspirations... but they actually say that ska itself is a very-very small part of their overall style... there isn't even really a genre that sums up their music... but if i had to make one up i'd classify them as something like "progressive-jazz, post-skacore, grunge-punk, oi-oi, swingcore fusion" xD ... it's good stuff
Most of their influence comes from Eastern-European Gypsy and Ska-Punk, but I'd call them Mariachi-Punk fusion. Which, if that's not a musical trend yet, it should definitely be by now.
I've been listening to Streetlight Manifesto for years, and I still haven't found a band with their style, precision and speed, They are pure talent. Greetings from Chile.
Just saying, I've never heard a better bass player than this guy, its not even that it's on rhythm, its because it's on rhythm and crazy complex. HES NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE STRINGS!!!! that's how much time he has had a bass guitar in it hands. Über respect man
As a multi-instrumentist myself, I could be watching this perfomance for hours and would still being mindblowing. Bro, they're rushing, they don't miss a single note and brass players got some serious lungs to be able to play all of this. Props to the bass player too, simply exceptional!
Remember the 2 gals walking past you r beach house balcony in so ocnj ? You were elated becuz YOUR SONG made Spotify - Congrats. Ocnj south side is the best
I've seen these guys live 5 times and they're the best live band I've ever seen and I've seen alot of bands live. A couple of the shows the bass player played a standup bass for half the show. It was sick. Easily the most talented band I've ever heard as a group of musicians and it's not even close. Each one of them is a master at their craft. Cant wait till they pump out a new album.
thats the face of someone who really enjoys what they are doing, and are putting their soul into it. and his dancing makes this so awesome to watch. streetlight is my fave band ever.
Man... Everytime i listen this i cant control my body, it always moving by it self acording to this grove. This energy is so big, and i can feel it! 🎉🎉🎉
to be honest, 2 years ago i thought this band was mediocre, i started listening more, understanding music with the help of classes. now i believe they are the 7 angels from music heaven
I fucking love this band with all my heart man, Pete the bassist is a damn saint of a bassist, Toh is one of the most consistent vocalists I've ever seen, they play with so much energy, their shows are all perfect. Damn man if there was one band I could listen to forever and nothing else it'd be these
Wow, that was without a doubt pure as the driven snow, pure as the puro, pure as the shit needed to keep up. My respect for these musicians could not be higher.
Just saw these guys in St. Augustine, FL on Sunday. Holy cow…. The energy and sound is crazy. As many have said… I still have no clue how they never were more famous. What a showing
Saw them and BOTAR at Chicago Theatre a couple weeks ago and damn this song was incredible. He said the name of it and the crowd went nuts, and everyone was singing along, not a single person in the crowd was sitting (although that was true for the whole concert). God I need to see them again
I agree all the rappers are hip hop artists not rappers they don't know what the fuck there talking about when they say there rappers. Rock with an edge like this is better
Saw these guy when they went to OKC in March, ended up hanging out by their trailer with a few of them for about 30 minutes after the show was done. That was amazing...
I love this band! and of the many times I have seen then live, i always prefer them on a small stage like this. You can really see the chemistry between them. They are always having so much fun, yet never getting in each others way. They just send out that lets rock out together vibe. Every show I've gone to i have made a new friend. Just some awesome shit these guys create!
this goes out to one of the band members my daughter and i saw at the shore ocnj yelling out his deck i made it on pandora radio - we checked m out they are great
just when you think "This guy is my favourite" one of the others does something brilliant. the last 3 notes of the tenor solo are fucking brilliant, then the bass player was all like "I'm good, give me some airtime!" and totally justified it.
The bass player, a classically trained jazz musician is my father. Jazz musicians know their instruments...
You dad is one of my favorite bassists and is part of the reason why I always try to improve my playing. Props to him.
Zack Van Sant

Peter McCullough Well your son is the reason I strive to be a better jazzer and bassist in general.
back in high school, streetlight manifesto got me through some tough times. your son is part of am amazing group that never fails to impress and motivate me to continue my music career.

A better place, a better time.
They're going on tour again!
I've always been impressed by how flawless they are live.
2 whole years later and still nobody cares, and they're still touring. lol
@@RapidVidsProductions Hence your comment?
How are these guys not more popular. These guys are so kickass.
Because ska has been dead for forever.
Zak lol, I don’t listen to a lot of ska, but holy shit this band is great
Because 90's skate punk/ska burnt out the genre.
I'd imagine two main reasons:
1: lyrics - there's nothing wrong with them but they have somewhat limited radio appeal, its not about gangsters, cheating country girls or whiskey
2: mixing - being a 7 piece, with lots of horns, complicated rhythms, the track mixing sounds kind of muddy at times and could be difficult for a mainstream audience to feel the ebb and flow of tracks
definitely not trying to be negative, but when answering questions like this I feel its necessary to be objective
1) Too unique and different from the familiar mainstream sound.
2) inconsistent releases.
3) problems with previous record label and no desire to work with a label in the future.
4) not going to sell out/ won't be marketed with sex appeal/ no fashion stuff just music/ little usage of social media.

R. I. P. Matt Stewart. You were such a force to be reckoned with. ❤
wow I was already having a bad day and I read this, how sad. RIP
R.i.P brother
jesus christ they're going to explode in any moment
***** no they wont because they are actually interesting
ruclips.net/video/WXGInUeE_Zw/видео.html
Drummer needs more love, his is so fucking solid at keeping up with everyone else.
+epicwhaleburger I believe they're keeping up with him. cuz hes a drummer
+epicwhaleburger yeah, the drummer is a total bad ass
+epicwhaleburger That is Chris Thatcher and he is one of my favorite drummers.
He’s insanely talented. Few people can navigate a kit with that much precision and adaptation. Everyone in this band is extremely talented, but Chris is a fucking prodigy. (So is Tomas, of course.)
Drummer sets the tempo
Bass player is a fucking champion. Listen for it.
3:18 Holy fuck man
Claptrap Pete McCollough, one of the best and most under rated in the business. Dude is a fucking MONSTER.
Can't forget about Matt Freeman from Rancid
Claptrap 3:17 I came so hard at 3:17!
Let’s not forget the drummer, either. That dude has an uncanny sense of rhythm and an insanely unique, ever-changing style. He’s not quite Danny Carey, but he’s fuckin UP THERE
This could very well be the best live recording of a sky performance ever.
Seriously, you listen to the studio version of this and you think "this is so fucking awesome, there's no way anyone could replicate this in real life".
And yet here I am, witnessing an even more incredible version performed live.
Tbf they've always sounded better live for some crazy reason. I know
Not to mention the fact that they played it a lot faster than in the studio recorded version.
Amazing musicians
Yeah, they're crazy tight.
It would take me 9 monsters and some bath salts to be this pumped to play music with that enthusiasm as the bass sax player
Ikr, his energy makes you wanna get up and wave your arms like spaghetti
Love the energy. Guy cracks me up when he sings his parts.
Baritone 😅
That is some of the sickest trombone playing I've ever seen in my life.
This song has been here for 13 years and no one has mentioned how incredibly impressive the drummer during this. He must've been exhausted after this
That's the most insane bass-playing I've seen in a long time
I actually noticed he simplified a few runs on this show.
For real! He’s amazing!
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the way these guys are enjoying their own performance? They are always so fun to watch at shows.
Streetlight takes ska punk music to another level. Still got the same energy, but the musicianship is incredible. These guys shred.

yeah they're insanely good ive seen em.only three times, as far as genre they're arrangement is ska.but I'd.have.to day post-punk jazz
Most of their influence comes from Eastern-European Gypsy and Ska-Punk, but I'd call them Mariachi-Punk fusion. Which, if that's not a musical trend yet, it should definitely be by now.
jeez.....the group chorus at 3:55 is too perfect
I've been listening to Streetlight Manifesto for years, and I still haven't found a band with their style, precision and speed, They are pure talent. Greetings from Chile.
They use alot of latin rhythm in their music. And yeah...they are awesome.
for real. the bassist is such a beast. i think his fingers are made of forged steel
Nobody told me that Ricky from Trailer Park Boys moved out of Sunnyvale trailer park and played in the greatest ska punk band ever.
RIP Matt Stewart, what an amazing horn player. Gonna miss his energy during the shows!! Fly high
Just saying, I've never heard a better bass player than this guy, its not even that it's on rhythm, its because it's on rhythm and crazy complex. HES NOT EVEN LOOKING AT THE STRINGS!!!! that's how much time he has had a bass guitar in it hands. Über respect man
how is it even possible? they play SO FAST! bunch of legends :)
That hook near the end when they all sing "and when we fall, we will fall together" all ways gets me in the best mood
saw these guys they were supporting Less Than Jake and Reel Big Fish and these guys really stole the show. Musically way more talented
As a Bari player, all I can say is...wow.
Cecil Palmer Mike brown is the man he is so good
He looks insane lmaoo
Paying my Respects to Matthew .
RIP
can this bass player be in the front line for the next shows... for ever..
They look like they are having so much fun.
This is my first time ever seeing Streetlight Manifesto, didnt think the looked like this. These guys havr the sickest horn solos i've ever heard
The Sax solo kills me everytime
It sounds like a guitar at first to me its soo good
I think this is the best live recording I've ever heard across any genre ever. I can hear everything so clearly even through my shitty job box.
As a multi-instrumentist myself, I could be watching this perfomance for hours and would still being mindblowing. Bro, they're rushing, they don't miss a single note and brass players got some serious lungs to be able to play all of this. Props to the bass player too, simply exceptional!
Everything about this is perfect, but can we just acknowledge how much of a beast their bass player is? Its truly insane.
Remember the 2 gals walking past you r beach house balcony in so ocnj ? You were elated becuz YOUR SONG made Spotify - Congrats. Ocnj south side is the best
I think you are the trinket player
god i still get chills when toh Kay and Jim belt out "they're coming after all of us with everything they've got" so good
SOMEBODY STOP THEM! This much talent condensed into such a small space might cause a rip in the universe!
Discovering Streetlight Manifesto was probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me.
Holy crap: 3:49 the true power of brass
Give that bass player a raise!!!
Real!!!!!!!
This is an extraordinary and life-asserting blend of energy, ardour and skill. I can never stop admiring this music! Thank you and cheers from Russia!
да!
best horn section ever
13 years ago??!
This is so good!!
ferocious tempo, peak Streetlight
I've seen these guys live 5 times and they're the best live band I've ever seen and I've seen alot of bands live. A couple of the shows the bass player played a standup bass for half the show. It was sick.
Easily the most talented band I've ever heard as a group of musicians and it's not even close. Each one of them is a master at their craft.
Cant wait till they pump out a new album.
as a fellow trombone player, hats off too there trombone player. hes fantastic!! they are all great musicians
As a trumpet player all I can say is OMG HE IS GREAT!
Look how much fun they’re all having, god damn this song kicks ass, this performance in particular is sooo good
thats the face of someone who really enjoys what they are doing, and are putting their soul into it. and his dancing makes this so awesome to watch. streetlight is my fave band ever.
The bassist is a hidden god
The bassist just silently killing it in the back. Jesus christ this band is soooo dope.
2024, still here!
I never get tired of watching this!
Man... Everytime i listen this i cant control my body, it always moving by it self acording to this grove. This energy is so big, and i can feel it! 🎉🎉🎉
Rest in peace mathew 💜💜💜💜
freaking awesome! Mike sure does have some happy feet when he's playing...
to be honest, 2 years ago i thought this band was mediocre, i started listening more, understanding music with the help of classes. now i believe they are the 7 angels from music heaven
4 People either mis-clicked or did not enjoy the performance. Either way I believe streetlight deserves 100% likes.
I fucking love this band with all my heart man, Pete the bassist is a damn saint of a bassist, Toh is one of the most consistent vocalists I've ever seen, they play with so much energy, their shows are all perfect. Damn man if there was one band I could listen to forever and nothing else it'd be these
Wow, that was without a doubt pure as the driven snow, pure as the puro, pure as the shit needed to keep up. My respect for these musicians could not be higher.
Just saw these guys in St. Augustine, FL on Sunday. Holy cow…. The energy and sound is crazy. As many have said… I still have no clue how they never were more famous. What a showing
Best ska horn section of all time, bar none.
One of the best live bands I've ever saw
These guys are incredible. They're so tight it looks like they could do this in their sleep.
That bassist is absolutely tearing it up.
They sound perfect live. Really rare especially for a band with this many members.
I will never stop listening to this.
That sax solo gives me chills every time.
Now this is why I want to play the saxophone xD
I feel you bro xD sax is the shit!
Nah, trombone....
Bass guitar....
Barry sax man, barry sax.
Hightower489
Bari. Baritone Bari :P
Saw them and BOTAR at Chicago Theatre a couple weeks ago and damn this song was incredible. He said the name of it and the crowd went nuts, and everyone was singing along, not a single person in the crowd was sitting (although that was true for the whole concert). God I need to see them again
This band was what made me a ska fan for life. Whenever I'm in a rut I listen to slm. Hands down most enjoyable show I've ever seen.
Amazing Bass!!!
Greatest band from NJ is right here
There's almost never enough bari... C'MON!!! You're taking away the best instrument from my ears.
This song already hauls @$$, and then they kick it up a notch live? Love it!!!
That was fucking dope! Love this band! So much energy!
This band has a passion unmatched by anyone.
Fuckin love these guys....theres no good bands nowadays....we need more music like this!!!!
I agree all the rappers are hip hop artists not rappers they don't know what the fuck there talking about when they say there rappers. Rock with an edge like this is better
Seeing them on my 18th birthday this year!
This is a song that’s been with me since my childhood and I still adore it. Best band out there!
The bassist is A MONSTER!
I'm Thai and I like this awesome mix and match band!!!!
Saw these guy when they went to OKC in March, ended up hanging out by their trailer with a few of them for about 30 minutes after the show was done. That was amazing...
Rest in Peace, Mathew Stewart. 🎺
the bassist is phenomenal.
I love this band! and of the many times I have seen then live, i always prefer them on a small stage like this. You can really see the chemistry between them. They are always having so much fun, yet never getting in each others way. They just send out that lets rock out together vibe. Every show I've gone to i have made a new friend. Just some awesome shit these guys create!
I've seen these guys twice at The Chameleon Club. The energy you get from these dudes is so intense
Pause at 3:21 to see a crazed man
I think they all are crazed mans
Wish I were there
this goes out to one of the band members my daughter and i saw at the shore ocnj yelling out his deck i made it on pandora radio - we checked m out they are great
the things i would do for this version to be on spotify
I remember staying up late to watch this. So rad seeing the boys on TV.
just when you think "This guy is my favourite" one of the others does something brilliant. the last 3 notes of the tenor solo are fucking brilliant, then the bass player was all like "I'm good, give me some airtime!" and totally justified it.
I love this sax solo, somebody knows which is the mouthpiece that he use?
Excuse my bad english ;)
Saw these guys last night in Mtl.!!!!
Best band to see live? It looks like they're having so much fun up there.
it''s the best SKA performance I have ever heard and seen! Thanks!!!!!!!!!
It’s a chaotic master piece
I cannot wait to see them on Vans warped tour this year. July 14th! The skanking in the pit is so boss to these dudes! Woooooooooo!
It is incredible how tight this band plays together
Yeah. They are exceptional.
Best live show I've ever seen of any band evar LOL
Incredibly talented musicians, every one of them. Hope we hear even more from them soon!
Absolute masters at work!
