Let's talk about Amyl and The Sniffers.
They're a great, GREAT live band from Melbourne, Australia who have started to reach an international audience with their raucous, loud, energetic style. Their third album, Cartoon Darkness, was met with universal acclaim, and deservedly so - it's fun and not like anything else being released.
On the day that album was released, they also released what would end up being the second single - this clever song that is actually one of their quieter ones. Give 'em a go!
Although the band was formed in and based in Melbourne, half the band now calls Los Angelas home, so it was a short flight over no oceans to get to the KEXP studios in Seattle to perform this song live.
And, as I am writing this - and I didn't write this ahead of time. It was written this morning - this performance is from this March but the video was literally posted an hour ago - so you get to see it RIGHT when it's released.
See what I mean about them being a great live band?
Here's an Easter egg for you.
This wasn't the song I wanted to post. I like this song a lot. But they have a controversial single called "Jerkin'" and the video is SO provacative that I can't even post the CENSORED version from YouTube here.
The song is literally about masturbation.
Last warning. This isn't safe for work, guys. If you need safer for work, go here. But even the censored one is next level.
But they did perform the song live at Coachella, and that I *can* post.
