When the rock music world obsessed about Seattle, all my attention was on San Diego. From Pitchfork to Jehu to RFTC to Hot Snakes, these guys represented the Casbah sound more than anybody. 🔥🔥🔥
This band grounds me. Every time I’m listening to something a little more traditional or experimental or vintage or modern or whatever, and then I hear this band and I realize this is all I ever need.
One of the best bands on the planet and Rick Froberg is an amazing vocalist. I picked up their album 'Jericho Sirens' on vinyl just about a month ago and I have spun it consistently since then. Thank you KEXP and thank you Hot Snakes~ Rob/Boston
Dude I feel the same way and I saw Rick Frobergs other band OBits in 2013 at kexp.... I felt ashamed I didn’t know... but now we do! And now I need a doctorrrrr!!!!
This is the best shit since Yank Crime! I cannot believe how hard these dudes still rock! Putting in 1000% and it's amazing! I'm so glad these guys a plowing through the shitstorm of 2018 with this real music!
I got Thunder Down Under on my mp3 player, thought I grew out of listening to hardcore punk but these guys are really good. I read about them in 1001 albums to listen to before your die book I've got. They have a much more intricate guitar sound than your standard hardcore punk shit. I really like them.
I cant believe Rick is dead. He is younger then my dad. Told my old man in the car he is lucky to be alive, he should appreciate what he has as a non-creative. apparently pure art has a toll and a price. cant bargain for shit with life.
Oh man, I can't wait to see these guys. Last time I saw Rick and John play together was at a Jehu show. They are still, to this day, top 5 loudest shows I've seen.
I discovered Rick Froberg from his other band The Obits, and their 2012 kexp in studio performance.... man I love how this guy just plays kick ass up tempo rock. I think I like Hot Snakes better than Obits but ask me tomorrow lol
Remembering Rick today. One of the most iconic voices ever in the genre.
RIP Froberg... damn that man had a set of pipes
Rest in peace Rick.. true inspiration!

god damn RIP rick. thanks for all the music, a true legend.
This band grounds me. Every time I’m listening to something a little more traditional or experimental or vintage or modern or whatever, and then I hear this band and I realize this is all I ever need.
also they're signed to the famous SUB-POP records whom signed nirvana and sunny day real estate among others!
When your grounding requires stomping 💯 👣 🔥
RIP Rick… 😕 You will be missed by so many. Thank you for your art. 🙏🏼
Heartbroken. RIP Rick ❤
Will miss you forever Rick.
RIP Rick Froberg. What a band they were! Legend. So sad.

Thanks, KEXP! It only took me 20+ years to find another band featuring the front-end of Drive Like Jehu.
Holy crap! I’ll never forgive myself for not finding out about this band until 2021. I’ve been brought back alive from this tedious boredom!
Dude I feel the same way and I saw Rick Frobergs other band OBits in 2013 at kexp.... I felt ashamed I didn’t know... but now we do! And now I need a doctorrrrr!!!!
Try plosivs
I just found out today....good hod
Rest in Powe Rick
The drummer is BY FAR the most underrated out there. Those patterns and style are his own!
He should be Bardo Pond's drummer. Love 'em!
You guys are cute. Aaron Kitcher
as well as those braids. cool as fuck
Rest in peace Rick Froberg.
We will miss you 😢

wish to be an strong uncle like them....

We should all be grateful these guys do NOT sound like that horrible RFTC. yawn.
bro, if you thought 2018 was a shitstorm, I'm here from the future with news.
It’s like the more accessible side of Jehu; more compact, tighter but just as aggressive.
Rick And John. The indie rock Mick and Keith. RIP Rick
Surely one of the the best performance on KEXP
1 00:00 Why Don't It Sink In
2 01:23 Six Wave Hold-Down
3 04:45 Death Doula
4 08:30 I Need a Doctor
5 11:14 Having Another
Is it just me or do the sound engineers just not get enough credit?
You totally echoed my thoughts listening to this. Judging by everything I've heard from KEXP over the years, Kevin Suggs is one the best.
@@KevKavanagh Everything sounds great. Credit to the engineers and credit to the band!
Great comment man. It needs to be mentioned ! It sounds amazing! It’s outdoors!! Lol how can it sound this right
RIP Rick. this is so great.
Just absolutely lethal . Swami/Rick are one of the best guitar tandems I’ve ever come across, certainly for this type of music.
This band gets me so pumped
15 minutes of Hot Snakes is such a brutal tease.
RIP Rick. Will miss this shit hard
I mean holy fuck
They should be the biggest band in the world.
should be? what else
Indeed.
Nah. They’re just for us.
They maybe should be. But I’m lucky to have discovered Obits and hot snakes
this fucking rocks. Yank crime is one of my favorite albums ever so I had to see what my boys were up to.
Love this
the hot snakes make me want to be a warrior :)
They remind me a little bit to Wipers. Both bands are great!!
Cool fact - Wipers were a direct inspiration for Hot Snakes! (dat bass lol)
Saw them in the UK earlier this year and they were awesome.
I love them so much
This is one of the best live recordings ever!
Holy she-it. face melting rock & roll.
GREATEST BAND EEVVER
Ooooooooooh they really start to givr for Death Doula. 🤤
Great track!
I cant believe Rick is dead. He is younger then my dad. Told my old man in the car he is lucky to be alive, he should appreciate what he has as a non-creative. apparently pure art has a toll and a price. cant bargain for shit with life.
props to the audio engineer
awwwhhhh yeahhhhhh look at'em go!!! thank you KEXP!!
RIP Rick
Coolest band ever.
The first time Ive ever seen a bald dude and thought “he’s cooler than me”
Oh man, I can't wait to see these guys. Last time I saw Rick and John play together was at a Jehu show. They are still, to this day, top 5 loudest shows I've seen.
I saw them in March. They straight up slayed.
@@joelshields8807 They cancelled the show I was supposed to go to last year, but I'm seeing them tomorrow night. Sweet!
REST IN POWER SIR.
GOD DAMNIT.
DUDE CAN HOWL.
Pure Healthy American Energy => One Of the BEST Alt-Punk-Whatever BANDS that this land Gifted to US . Love & Respect BROS

Why Don't It Sink In 0:00

Death Doula 4:46
I Need a Doctor 8:30

Good shit
Amazing
fantastic as always, wow guys!
This band apparently deserves more recognition. Exmerimental punk rock should live! Hot Snakes, thank you guys, for good music!
CARBS!!!
Grande band!
It’s a shame John doesn’t sing in this group. His voice is super cool. Rocket From The Crypt was some of the best to come out of the 90’s.
The last album is the best rock action from 2018
Encore une bombe musicale!!! Thanks men!!
Swami is a guitar god
freakin awesome guitar park they got going
great performance. im so excited to see them in germany in 2 months...
Whatta voice!!!!
Just discovered this band.
Fuck me.
Thank you KEXP.
Jim Lahey on bass
Taylor Hanes i just pooped my self
Bass player looks like Sargent Garfield Wood of the Slo Ponies, Fishwife, & Tanner.
Hey! Are you Canadian??
The shitrock winds blew in some tasty shitbass, Ricky.
@@wisterV that is correct
Fucking bad asses. RIP Rick.
F A N T A S T I C I... San Diego rules! 🤘🏻
Belíssimo!
No sabia que estaban en este canal!!! Escuchen.. Si les gusta el hc, punk, noise... Escuchen Drive like jehu
Sonic Youth left cells all over.
epic awesome
First time hearing these guys. They sound great
rock solid
RIP Rick, respects.
drummer from Bardo Pond
♥️
so killer.
I discovered Rick Froberg from his other band The Obits, and their 2012 kexp in studio performance.... man I love how this guy just plays kick ass up tempo rock. I think I like Hot Snakes better than Obits but ask me tomorrow lol
Go San Diego Ca Bby..Killer🤘🏽👏🏽
Fucking awesome.
“having another” is a really different song... experimental punk rock felt in my bones in that track..
They all look like Trevor Philips from GTA V
Funny, they have a song called "mystic decade" that was in a GTA game
wild and raw stuff!
Yeah !
San Diego's BEST, bar NONE!!
Молодцы! Огонь!
Да, группа что надо!
Grandi!!!!!!!!!!
REIS!
At any given moment he could almost sing, “What in tarnation’s going on right here”
Hot snakes means Doo Doo
WoW!
one word...... w o w !
Tain quel bon groupe
Who needs a booster pedal when you can roll up and down the volume pot manually during your solo? Rookies!!
I thought the same thing haha! But this is also the same guy that hangs his amp head off the neck of his guitar as well sooo
No needs any booster.. Really.. Rookies? Haha
Fuck this is gold!
This band is just white hot. Rick Froberg is a genius and this band is untouchable. Look at all of the straight people stopping to dig it. Undeniable
solid
Iggy would have fun with this. The lads are stilling pressing all the buttons.
take notes. this is how you play a LP custom
Agreed
Seconded!
Fuck yeah.
such a tight unit. remeber when they came to Oz and recorded
Swami and Rick sounding as killer as ever. They’re really movin, must’ve taken their glucosamine and aspirin before this gig, ha.
Hahaha!!!
fuck yeah!!!
