Fame does not equal success, which I'm learning more and more as I get older. Bands like WAND are miles above some of their mainstream contemporaries. But what does it matter? As long as they are making music and some of us are consuming it and trumpeting their name, we all win! It just means if you meet someone who likes WAND you automatically can vouch for them being an interesting person.
It’s no longer about how good your band is like it was in the 60s through 90s. Now it’s about how popular/rich you are. If you can afford the publicity you can shove whatever you want down everyone’s throats. Meanwhile there are bands out there like Wand who get about .003% of the attention they deserve.... it’s really sad.
One of the best bands I've seen live in over 30+ years of going to gigs. I love Corey and Evan is an outstanding drummer, mesmerising to watch, but the whole band are great.. A fantastic choice of songs, one of the best KEXP sessions yet!
Abysmal, crunching tone transforms seamlessly into something melodic and other-wordly. Not many can pull off what I've just heard, and even less in such an effortless and natural fashion. This video alone made me buy tickets to the only gig on the books in Chicago. Never before have I been sold so fast on a band. Impressive performance from these guys!
Nice, started off with my favorite track. Thanks for doing that for me, Wand! It's not even my birthday or nothing. I really appreciate that. It's the thought that counts, Wand. Thank you. Thank.
Saw them at a Swiss festival in the middle of the moutains 4 or 5 years ago. It was incredible. Must be the 15th time I watch this kexp session, I will never get tired of it
(@2:08 finally someone uses the rhythm circuit on a JM in the most productive way possible live) This band comes from the past and the future at the same time - they make me happy and sad at the same times well as apart ... sometimes changing those feelings so quickly in a moment that I fall over onto the bottom of the highest place in the unknown universe, only to slide all the way back down to the empyrean point before doing it all over again.
fucking epic, goosebump inducing opening song, oh my god. what a moment. I interviewed Cory about two months after this in Vancouver outside the Commodore. What a talented guy. Love this band.
i saw this 8 years ago. and the word "youser" stuck with me and i use it everyday. i even forgot over the years where i got it. i just know "an interview or something on youtube".... i'm so happy i came back to this after almost a decade hearing the word YOUSER :D hahahahahah my favourite man! i really hope i can perform on that baldwin or in iceland one day! SHIP ME IN!
Caught these guys live in London @ the Dome last month, and all I can say is now I appreciate them a lot more. This session is awesome but see them live if you can :-)
saw them live two years ago, Corey ripped that fucking amplifier with that screaming guitar! Quite a memorable night, sad to see the original formation is gone thou

why is this band so underratted
they need more press. i never heard of them. my buddy just sent me this video and i'm blown away.
not in my book, who cares about popular opinion! I grew out of the high school mindset whilst in high school, :)
Because people's choices in music suck! I'm glad they are underrated. Makes them even cooler, they will melt your fucking face!

His vocals are fucking spectacular
genuinly the most mind blowing kexp performance ive seen. these guys have sefious talent
totally agree!
about 8 seconds into Lower Order I was a fan for life.
Man I remember when this episode of keep was released, I was never the same
0:39 Fire On The Mountain
7:30 Floating Head
16:07 Lower Order
20:08 Growing Up Boys
El cambio de fire a floating ... Boom💣
Jesus, this has to be one of the best performances I've ever seen on KEXP. Their sound is immense!
pretty damn awesome, check out Emma Ruth Rundle on KEXP as well, phenomenal performance
WHAT IS THIS I'M WATCHING THIS LIKE FOR THE FOURTH TIME TODAY
Cheryl is a wonderful person

love that opener. Cory Hanson is a guitar God. drummer is badass. Just watched this whole thing
this kicks ass. finally something original and dope as hell.
This specific rendition of Fire On The Mountain is in my top three favorite songs in the past year, and I don’t even know what the other two are.
Nice, started off with my favorite track. Thanks for doing that for me, Wand! It's not even my birthday or nothing. I really appreciate that. It's the thought that counts, Wand. Thank you. Thank.
wow the beggining of lower order got me goosebumps, sooooo good
I like dat riff, dats a nice riff. Also.. please bring on Sleep. @KEXP
Cheryl remains as the ultimate homie
Growing up boys, fave song. God damn, this band! The best. Them guitar sounds are unearthly.
God!!!!! Thank god for kexp. These amazing live performances blow my mind. Id pay a leg to hear this live
Man all KEXP live mixes sound amazing! Great band.

This is ridiculously loveable
Yes!
His voice is amazing!! He's not just wailing but like actually singing
Praise this band. I just found out about them and wow. Just. WOW.
fucking epic, goosebump inducing opening song, oh my god. what a moment. I interviewed Cory about two months after this in Vancouver outside the Commodore. What a talented guy. Love this band.
Id trust alll these guys to walk my dog or cat sit.
Absolutely loving that drummer! Amazing band.
Wand, you are an awesome band. See you in London!
YES FINALLY!!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
So did I! I though they were gonna play more songs from 1000 days thou... KEXP sounds greater everyday!
+Camilo Oyarzún I was expecting more from golem TBH but sick set regardless
Patrick Lewis No doubt about it
They should have played Broken Sun
this is too good and not long enough
Awesome band
3:40 That is how you use a Jazzmaster, just like Kevin Shields said, "It's kinda flying you know... through space."
How "Loveless"
JUST heard of this band tonight and I LOVE their guitar tone and sound OMG!!!!
Wow, I just discovered these guys, I'm in love
I swear, all the bands in this particular LA scene have had that brown SG at some point. Watch King Tuff and Meatbodies' live sessions, youll see.
yes!!!
MatthewMemento both of those bands are connected by Cory
Flooded like tame impala and the members of pond with the epiphone Wilshire
Sabbath worship. Iommi lives in us all.
It's all about the tritone guys
Holy fucking shit, these guys have some serious talent!
i saw this 8 years ago. and the word "youser" stuck with me and i use it everyday. i even forgot over the years where i got it. i just know "an interview or something on youtube".... i'm so happy i came back to this after almost a decade hearing the word YOUSER :D hahahahahah my favourite man! i really hope i can perform on that baldwin or in iceland one day! SHIP ME IN!
I saw you guys on tour when you played Leeds. Iy was awesome. I loved it. Best acid trip band ever
Yowzas Indeed! Wow! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much!!
Just masterful!
One of my favorite kexp sessions
Yay! Great band!
Wow !! Cant wait to see Wand this summer
Son brutales. Pedazo de banda que acabo de descubrir.
Props to the kexp engineer the drums on this sound fucking fantastic, Evan is a huge part but they seriously sound so good
yes!
Yowza, yowza indeed, Cheryl.
Caught these guys live in London @ the Dome last month, and all I can say is now I appreciate them a lot more. This session is awesome but see them live if you can :-)
I'd love to move right next to their recording studio! Amazing band, I'm a huge fan. Keep that comin' guys.
yes cheryl you babe!
Inject this performance of Floating Head into my veins
Going to lose my mind at their show on Thursday
Sounds a lot like Ty Segall, great music!!!
They are friends, make sense
Great stuff thank u Perry P
i feel so bad for not hear this band in the past :C glad i found it corey kill it
I feel retarded because I always thought that they were pronounced like band with a w in front of it
hahaha that made my day
Haha
fuck, i still don't get it.
please explain, haha
wend
+Radian2k
He thought the band name Wand rhymed with words like hand or band, instead of words like swan.
These guys are tight live! The drummer is killing it!
shelly duvall on the keys!
cant tell if thats a compliment or an insult
I see it. But im terrible at faces.
A comedic observation? Whatever happened to those?
Seen wand at the Boston music rooms in London ...fantastic performance
Can't wait for these guys to become huge
Yeah!
I wish that bass part they play on Lower Order was in the actual song released.
it's about time! yeeeeeeess
24:48 "oh my gosh that was so good"
same lady, SAME
That moment between 9:11 and 11:30 fills my heart with joy!!!!
YEEESSS
this gives me life
Oui!
Just outstanding
Never heard of them but they sound great !
found this band today. now i know that i failed : i should find them earlier than today ;) Golem is a great LP
i'm in love
YOWZA IS RIGHT CHERYL!
Huh, I didn't expect liking this!
saw them live two years ago, Corey ripped that fucking amplifier with that screaming guitar! Quite a memorable night, sad to see the original formation is gone thou
this is extremely good..
That fuckin Mellotron setting...
I can see why Ty Segall had these guys as his backing band. They sound very similar, yet very different.
O.M.F.G What a wonderful Music!
i want to make a public plea to come play Columbus, OH. very excited about this band
Brilliant
Finally. :')
great stuff!
I have the feeling that cory and ty are cousins
Wish they would have played Melted Rope!!! and I fucking love this band!!!!
Igen!
Love that part that sounds like Television.
VERY impressive!
@KEXP GET THEE OH SEES IN THERE!
They will in November
Yes!
How do you know?
& white fence @kexp
Jack Gordon Cheryl told me
Brrilliant
I love it
almost forgot to watch this today
This is fire

Fucking stunning set!!!!
Yes.
