Being Dead in KUTX Studio 1A

KUTX's July Artist of the Month claims to have met while saving animatronic animals from a fire at Chuck E. Cheese. Unfortunately, all evidence of this encounter has been lost, so we were unable to verify the authenticity of this meet cute. What we do know, is that Austin's Being Dead, does in fact make fun, whimsical rock 'n' roll that will have you giggling while you dance. The band released their debut album, "When Horses Would Run," on July 14, 2023.

the camera work and editing on this is so good. I laughed out loud at some of those crash zooms and I loved the clever cutting between cameras. compliments the ultra fun energy of the band perfectly! :)

[@DiegoMedina74]

one of the best records i´ve heard in 2023!

[@Michaeljohncoulson]

Couldn't agree more. It's like every song leaves you wanting more.

[@acoustictie8907]

Best new band out, and KUTX/Austin is lucky to have them. Start calling in the favors!

[@kinbotest]

Best Austin band in a long time.

[@jessedh4]

Seeing them open for Husbands (another great band with lots of surf rock style) in like two months. Gonna be a great show

[@leahnewyork]

argh I just found Being Dead yesterday, looked up their tour, hope they come east sometime soon, lucky you!!!

[@jessedh4]

@@leahnewyork yeah! Had never even heard of them until they got added to the Husbands show

[@leahnewyork]

​@@jessedh4haha and I only heard about the Husbands bc I stumbled on Being Dead. Envying you all over again. Cheers from NYC

[@leahnewyork]

Feel so lucky not to have not found this band. Holy Team on repeat for the last two hours.

[@clouetjp769]

I love this band, and gonna buy the CD, from France ❤📀

[@BillBraskyy]

I love how the head of the floor Tom has multiple puncture holes taped, and the crash symbol looks like Swiss cheese haha The sudden mood shift to the "you killed him" breakdown had me thinking like, They're like the crazed descendants of the Manson family that would fit right into acid soaked Hippy Hollow in Austin, TX back in the 60s.
Also, I had to backtrack a bit, because one minute I'm listening and watching every few glances/multitasking, and the next minute the drummer and the guitarist have switched places, and since I didn't see the song change on the screen, and because the second song seemed to be just another extension of the very first one they played, I thought my mind and eyes were playing tricks on me ha

[@KevinfinityDrums]

That's just gaffing tape for muting the ring out of the drum

[@BillBraskyy]

@@KevinfinityDrums thank you Kevin finnerty 🤌🏿

[@goodmorning7358]

last living buffalo is so sick. onward, no herd

[@koopasideburns]

[@andreshurtado9243]

[@peosatanico]

ME TOO

[@rut3r_]

yo ricky moto rides that bass successfully

[@yaboi3697]

I was expecting someone to die at some point...they didnt.

[@voxxiigen7797]

I was wishing the camera operator(s) would give the bass player a few more shots.

[@DrummahMike]

They take very good care of their cymbals

[@andrew_west]

When Beach Boys meet Talking Heads and B52's.

[@slack3021]

Fuckin rad dude

[@tjnuge]

Throw in a little Peter,Paul, Mary

[@BillBraskyy]

Makes me think Beach Boys as well, mixed with The Mama's and the Papa's, with a proto punk/garage, 60s psychedelia sound. Like if the Manson family wandered off (without Charlie) and started a band in Haight Ashbury or 1960s Austin lol

[@BillBraskyy]

​@@tjnugeoh yeah!

[@keiranbradley3238]

The Shaggs with actual ability to play their instruments.

[@shimsham9113]

As an avid enjoyer of American Muscle Car Restoration, I enjoy this band.

[@UncleErnie71]

These guys are so legit.

[@UndercoverNormie]

Let's just take a moment to appreciate that this has zero dislikes. Please come to NC.

[@eliasrosales2631]

[@smihilist]

I need more.

[@thasupremeoverlord]

balance of virtues and vibes in music is crucial these days. im assuming there is a solid message in this song but at least they seem to be happy well-fed musicians unlike myself

[@joed7185]

Saw them live at End of An Ear. Probably the best band in town.

[@Michaeljohncoulson]

I have to see this band live. So good!

[@Denveralgoe]

[@grimmass264]

How does this only have 507 likes?

[@sweetestdrift]

When people try to describe music across all genres, they often say 'from Abba to Zappa'. This band took it too literally

[@ozenfant_ozn]

they do rock.

[@MrPJTPJT]

Great discovery! Thank you, Rod Liddle, of last week's Spectator.

[@jasperdoggydude]

nice

[@TheLeagueOfTasteAndClassCorp]

Love this band all the way from the UK

[@Skaera75b]

Awesome, unbelievably fresh and just generally wonderful- I LOVE YOU GUYS. (Also, what is that guitar? I want one, it's gorgeous!) Greetings from the UK.

[@josephrigan2421]

it's a Danelectro U2, a reissue from the 50's, The best cheap guitars...they look, play and sound seriously great. the reissues are really quite good, i got mine for $120. used ten years ago, now they're up to $499 new, but worth their weight in tonal gold! Being Dead have impeccable taste!

[@Skaera75b]

Thank you! Every time I watch this video, I'm just staring at the headstock, thinking 'what ARE you?' Now I know, I can be frustrated by the fact that I know what I do not currently own. And you're right about their taste, everything about them is cool
@@josephrigan2421

[@andrewalbertson1]

Dan electros are awesome. Mines become my fav guitar

[@smihilist]

@@josephrigan2421Pretty sure it's Danelectro Baritone.

[@harveycasey1900]

My youtube algorithm is scaring me😮

[@leahnewyork]

i found this band yesterday the human way and thank g-d I did but it was incredibly random: It was a rec in a reply to a comment about vocal harmonies on California Dreamin' .

[@-Tiques-]

Ok, got Falcon Bitch and Gumball...What does the bassist say???

[@BeauxGnar]
