let me just say that this band sounds so great live... watching this from a computer simply does not compare to what they are capable of, live. They're one of the best bands I've seen, live
These folks are so super talented and a joy/experience to listen to. I love how the passion just seeps through each performance and album. Temples are 10/10 and still far underrated.

Young the GiantPutting together a list of great YOUNG/NEW rock bands; roughly around for 1 - 6 years / 1 - 3 albums or so; these are just general guidelines, but meant to exclude bands like Arcade Fire and Kings of Leon who are terrific but a little too old for the list. Please let me know who you think should be added, thanks. I will argue with you if they aren't rock bands, great, or young/new. Don't tell me you just discovered an awesome new band called The Pixies. You're way too late. This is the list so far... (order is random)
+Richard Baisden Jr. (ZENETH) --- As I say at the top of the list.... IN RANDOM ORDER. As for Mac DeMarco, I will check it out. It sounds familiar but I need to check out. Thanks! Best.
You know, I keep finding myself wanting to like this band better, but feeling so-so about their sound. Then watching their show was kind of pulled along by it, they've obviously got this distinctive vibe. I also really like the fact that they jam, which I didn't know before. Okay, on board for the time being...
I agree with your assessment of Temples, I'm pretty much in the same boat. They have a few songs I really love, but overall its just meh. Check out The Spyrals out of San Francisco, pretty much the same genre, but more vibrant and alive.
What bothered me more with this band was the apparent attitude they showed towards everybody. They're writing some decent music, but their front man acts incredibly arrogant. Maybe it's just supposed to be a facade, but it's an annoying one to me....
Yeah. I don't know. I've just seen a couple interviews (one with Nardwuar) where he just acted so terribly bored and uninterested, and it just gave of a snobby impression at first. Still good music though.
Mark Lopez, that session just happened late last week! We will get to it soon, we promise, but we record a lot of sessions and it takes us time to get through it all. Thanks for your patience!
Awesome band and good performance, but the guitars were slightly too loud and the bass and the keys were a tad too low and the vocals would have been better with a touch more reverb (esp. for the harmonies) the drums were dead on for levels and clarity though.
Maybe it's just me, but their recorded songs sound better. It sounds even more alternative live, which may not be a bad thing, but it's also not the same, somehow...
They're a psychedelia band which in most cases will always sound different live then recorded because the record adds all these little details which make it psychedelic.
+jero han i saw them yesterday life, and honestly i had the same thought, but it is not true, he sing almost better in the live versions than in the studio..
Good but so far from the greatest (pink floyd and others), I hope that this band can improve their self and will give us another glorious progressive and psicodelic era. My best wishes.
I'm all for groups updating classic genres to fit their aesthetic and overall sound, but this isn't even that they're delivering carbon copies of old psychedelic classic rock cliches, but in an uncreative, generic, and uninspired fashion AND taking a step backwards all the while looking bored while doing it...it leaves a bad aftertaste. What ever happened to a good tasteful solo thrown in just at the right moment? oh, that's right. Songs are cut down to 3-4 minutes for radio time throwing any notion away of true classic rock making it's way back into the popular consciousness. This group (to me at least) comes off as a group that would like to think they are on the same spectrum of great classic rock but do not fully embrace it.
4 tracks on the new album are over 5 minutes long, and one of them is 6.5 minutes, so plenty of room for solos. For anyone liking this check out Tom Vek
Temples are cool, but they're just the frontman. Why doesn't he get a drum machine and loop the rest, wouldn't have to share the budget and the groupies then.
i was thinking the same thing. drummer is pretty basic. and in some songs the "rhythm guitar" isn't even really playing on the jams. i get the other guitar on depth of sound. he does play keyboard though

agreed but kexp have fantastic recordings, especially when you have a decent set of headphones
This group is so fabulous.
Jame's guitar tone is fucking killer. I met Adam and Tom at the shelter in Detroit and these guys are badass.
These guys have to come to New Zealand we love them here !!

that jam in the end on mesmerise is the best thing i've heard lately!!
Oh god jeah, I'm so fascinated.
+Micha Huigen you should listen tame impala, desire be desire go live or apocalypse dream ..
im gonna see them live in about a month (;
tame impala*
I appreciate this the world needs more of this
Some fucking almighty noses in this band!
Reuben Tobolewski It's a long tradition in rock music!
I do.
What didn't make sense? Most of the band members have big ol' roman noses. ;)
Reuben Tobolewski you are a total idiot, how long is your field goal you little twart.
Reuben Tobolewski beeside craftton is that what IT TAKES TO MAKE GOOD MUSIC OR HAVE YOUR TOONY Ears been clipped
these dudes rock..
I love this concert and this band so much!
I really want to see them live!
Thank you for this live KEXP !
Wooow Awesome, I just love them, THEY'RE FANTASTIC
Amazing!!!!! Love this band!!!!👌🏻🎸🤘🏻
They really upped their live game. Bravo!
Je les ai vus la semaine dernière, j'adore tous leurs albums mais en live, c'est encore meilleur ❤️
I saw them last wednesday in Mexico and they are fuckin awesome, i don´t know how do it, in my opinion the best band of rock indie at moment
holy fuck who mixed this, it's perfect.
"Mesmerise" (extended version) Great song!
Well done

david letterman My bad man, didn't read it correctly. I'm surprised you haven't heard of Mac yet, check out his Mac DeMarco 2 album, it's amazing.
very impressive group
Increíble improvisación en Mesmerise,excelente ending!Artistazos!
En realidad no es un jam improvisado. Los vi en vivo en Argentina el año pasado y lo tocaron igual, o al menos eso recuerdo.
Son hermosos.
Fantastic
Este disco me viaja
where is the bass sound

reedca97 Really? He seemed pleasant and appreciative in this video.
Yeah. I don't know. I've just seen a couple interviews (one with Nardwuar) where he just acted so terribly bored and uninterested, and it just gave of a snobby impression at first. Still good music though.
***** Hookworms are a great band though, id be happy with that. They don't even tour outside of Europe sadly.
2021 está presente en la casa prros!!
i didn't realise noel fielding played keyboards for these guys! :D
That guitar sound is awesome, but it's way too loud, you can't hear anything that anyone else is doing. Or at least turn the bass up.
Yes, the vocals are lost. Shitty mix, but here's the thing, they still sound better than most.
Tru dat, my friend. Tru dat.
cool.... is that Roger Waters on the bass? hahaha
Good call
+Sinang Purba NO
+Sinang Purba Someone's definitely seen live at Pompeii though!
I was going to write exactly the same!!!!! Roger Waters at Pompei!!!!!!
Its actually his grandson so in a way yes, that's roger waters.
ES HORA DE QUE VENGAN A MÉXICO ...
10:49 that little smile
brill thank you
Música boa!
Can you upload the drums video?
Mark Lopez, that session just happened late last week! We will get to it soon, we promise, but we record a lot of sessions and it takes us time to get through it all. Thanks for your patience!
KEXP I understand, thanks!
I remember when they just began with the singer guitarist, James Bagshaw and the bassist Thomas James Walmsley; very good psych stuff.
Pretty sure it's Thomas Edison Warmsley
ronald mcdonald on lead vocals!
Nick Falletta this made me laugh too hard
every single band today is an imitation of bands of yesterday
Jajaja
Looks like Roger Waters joined the Temples.
Where's the bass, man?! Lines are tight...if only I could hear them. Soundman sluffin'.
I want to know where their wormhole is located. I mean the one they used to jump out of the late 60s.
great fucking music wow love it
💙🚀
Oh sí
Awesome band and good performance, but the guitars were slightly too loud and the bass and the keys were a tad too low and the vocals would have been better with a touch more reverb (esp. for the harmonies) the drums were dead on for levels and clarity though.
bass player looks like Roger Waters in early performances
dryajov frontman looks like Marc Bolan as well
dryajov The singer/guitarist reminds me of Syd Barrett a little.
Slightlydelic eh syd's hair wasnt as curly. If you look at Marc Bolan they have the same exact hair and chin bone
dryajov idgit the B player looks nothing like Roger ya frickin stooge
James Walker what? watch Pink Floyd Live at Pompeii... he looks a lot like him from that movie, plus he is playing the same bass.
Maybe it's just me, but their recorded songs sound better. It sounds even more alternative live, which may not be a bad thing, but it's also not the same, somehow...
They're a psychedelia band which in most cases will always sound different live then recorded because the record adds all these little details which make it psychedelic.
Marc Bolan? Is that you?
Yes is he!!!! and Roger Waters playing bass guitar!!
And dave grohl (young) on drums
Please link to download...
What's the effect in the beginning?
roger waters on bass!
Marc bolan on vocals
Is it me or Thomas looks like Roger Waters ??
buse naber
Damn, His live perfomance is better than Kevin Parker's
I think that kevin enjoys making music more than he does enjoy performing it
iNK the problem is that kevin cant sing like he does in the studio versions...
jero han I've just heard some recent lives and he sounds way better, I think he's improving.
+jero han i saw them yesterday life, and honestly i had the same thought, but it is not true, he sing almost better in the live versions than in the studio..
0461554 he has improved a lot since lonerism
sexis
glass half empty, heart hall full
that bassist is trying so hard to be roger waters
it was pretty amazing until the woman goes "amazing" at the end.
The last song sounds really shoegaze-like, epic jam!
First live vid I've watched of them, and a bit dissapointed, mostly with the singing.
Imagine tripping on acid and singing every night when your young. Not so easy
Good but so far from the greatest (pink floyd and others), I hope that this band can improve their self and will give us another glorious progressive and psicodelic era. My best wishes.

look and sound a bit like BRMC,good stuff
