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.
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!!!!
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
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.
RIP Rick Froberg. What a band they were! Legend. So sad.
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 💯 👣 🔥
Will miss you forever Rick.
RIP Rick… 😕 You will be missed by so many. Thank you for your art. 🙏🏼
Heartbroken. RIP Rick ❤
Everything musically these guys ever got together to collaborate on was magic. From Pitchfork, Drive like Jehu, Hot Snakes etc. RIP Rick
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
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 😢
Rick And John. The indie rock Mick and Keith. RIP Rick
Thanks, KEXP! It only took me 20+ years to find another band featuring the front-end of Drive Like Jehu.
RIP Rick. this is so great.

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

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.
Surely one of the the best performance on KEXP
15 minutes of Hot Snakes is such a brutal tease.
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.
RIP Rick. Will miss this shit hard
this fucking rocks. Yank crime is one of my favorite albums ever so I had to see what my boys were up to.

Just absolutely lethal . Swami/Rick are one of the best guitar tandems I’ve ever come across, certainly for this type of music.
the hot snakes make me want to be a warrior :)
This is one of the best live recordings ever!
This band gets me so pumped
props to the audio engineer
Holy she-it. face melting rock & roll.
Saw them in the UK earlier this year and they were awesome.
GREATEST BAND EEVVER
Love this
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)
Ooooooooooh they really start to givr for Death Doula. 🤤
Great track!
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.
Coolest band ever.
I love them so much
Good shit
Great band and a great performance as usual ...love it..so many songs they didnt play that are amazing tho .. I need a doctor is always great ..
Pure Healthy American Energy => One Of the BEST Alt-Punk-Whatever BANDS that this land Gifted to US . Love & Respect BROS
awwwhhhh yeahhhhhh look at'em go!!! thank you KEXP!!
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
Grande band!
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!
Whatta voice!!!!
No sabia que estaban en este canal!!! Escuchen.. Si les gusta el hc, punk, noise... Escuchen Drive like jehu
RIP Rick
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.
epic awesome
Belíssimo!
The last album is the best rock action from 2018
F A N T A S T I C I... San Diego rules! 🤘🏻
so killer.
great performance. im so excited to see them in germany in 2 months...
Encore une bombe musicale!!! Thanks men!!
freakin awesome guitar park they got going
rock solid
CARBS!!!
Go San Diego Ca Bby..Killer🤘🏽👏🏽
Just discovered this band.
Fuck me.
Thank you KEXP.
such a tight unit. remeber when they came to Oz and recorded
Yeah !
First time hearing these guys. They sound great
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
Молодцы! Огонь!
Да, группа что надо!
I mean holy fuck
“having another” is a really different song... experimental punk rock felt in my bones in that track..
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
RIP Rick, respects.
drummer from Bardo Pond
♥️
At any given moment he could almost sing, “What in tarnation’s going on right here”
San Diego's BEST, bar NONE!!
Grandi!!!!!!!!!!
WoW!
Fucking bad asses. RIP Rick.
wild and raw stuff!
Tain quel bon groupe
Swami is a guitar god
Fucking awesome.
solid
They all look like Trevor Philips from GTA V
Funny, they have a song called "mystic decade" that was in a GTA game
one word...... w o w !
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
Sonic Youth left cells all over.
Fuck yeah.
take notes. this is how you play a LP custom
Agreed
Seconded!
REIS!
Iggy would have fun with this. The lads are stilling pressing all the buttons.
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
The look on that chick's face says it all. RIP RICK!
Yumma humma
Swami and Rick sounding as killer as ever. They’re really movin, must’ve taken their glucosamine and aspirin before this gig, ha.
Hahaha!!!
