@@MrFinnmayer wow...she sings really different for that band...i gotta admit i love the way she sings for dream wife. the way she accentuates words is so cool
I think it's the "vocalist"... not a great voice, just talks & shouts really, while hardly rhyming, or making sense. Some of the lyrics are a bit unoriginal. The music is is ok. Not amazing, but not bad.
I've personally barely seen any negative comments (maybe 1 out of 50 as I scroll through the comments, and even that one wasn't really negative). But yes, they kick ass
Exuberant, fun and highly addictive, been watching it over again a couple of times! FUU, Lolita and Take it back are all great tracks! Can't wait to catch them live! Dream Wife 4 life!
Hope you get to see them - went along just for a night out and found myself at a great gig. This KEXP video is ok - on stage in front of you - so much more.
I'm late to the party here, but I just discovered the band last week. I have so much love for this performance, so much energy, amazing presence, and now also one of my favorite guitarists. Have since snapped up vinyls of both albums and am looking for the EP. Absolutely fantastic!
Right at the beginning they all look super fucking badass and don't disappoint during the whole thiNG JESUS CHRIST THEY ARE SO FUCKING GOOD WHY DID I FIND THIS BAND SO LATE
Found this after looking for acts to see at Latitude in a few weeks and they are now top of list. Remind me a little of early CSS and it's great to see an act enjoying themselves so much.
I saw them recently and I liked them a lot. They have good songs and a great live, they give off great energy. They made me dance and sing. They are prepared to succeed. I hope to see them again. Enjoy assured.
Lots of fun and quite good. Reminds of post punk UK bands from the 1980s, but with more melody (hello Viv Albertine!). Always interesting how singers who aren't native English speakers pronounce certain easy words like "can" and "back." Provides a nice weird edge.
There's a lot of post punk going on here. Early talking heads, sugarcubes (obviously) and even some of the brit bands like wire etc. It's more refreshing than a lot of the garbage thats mass produced and churned out -and the fact that the hipsters don't like it is a good thing.
No they don't. Not in the current landscape of music. Their songs really aren't that good. I think you're just saying that because they look like a band. Members wise rather than music wise.
I fucking love them. They tick all the boxes for me. Great performance I'd pay to see them live if they played in my town. Better than most of the shit that allegedly passes as indie music these days.
Started off not really liking it but the more I listened the more I got into it. Reminds me a lot of Bloc Party (before the drummer left and they got shit)
Rest in peace bloc party. They where so good before their drummer left and they got shit. They can't even play their old stuff well anymore and they're not that much older. Their drummer just doesn't cut it.
Funny I did the same thing and think I came up with my answer. I like listening to it but can't stand looking at them lol. I mean no disrespect to them what so ever and it has nothing to do with attractiveness I just don't dig there appearance style and it sort of throws me off. Also really odd (but cool) seeing a left handed female guitar player. Its almost like seeing a unicorn.
It's easy to hate, but I like it! That raw attitude, straight forward punk, and that "I-dont-care-about-what-you-think-im-going-to-do-it-anyway" ... there's something 'charming' about it
i suppose they don't fit in your ideals of what a female musician should dress like...? they're bad ass musicians, the same way that you respect a male musician based on his music THAT'S what you should be paying attention to. they're amazing in their own right, i've seen them live and they're energy is contagious . wish people would stop projecting they're ideals of what woman should act and dress like, instead base your value on they're talent and what they're actually there to do.
The youthful vitality of this raw, vibrant punk rock satiates and rejuvenates like fresh, warm blood to my inner vampire. Thanks for the feeding, Dream Wife. I feel revitalized.
Friggin' hell KEXP, the mic was glitching out for an entire song, the singer had to keep pushing the ruddy cable in, no-one on the tech team thought to hand her a spare mic, but waited until after the song, when she'd had to literally ask for some tape, to then just throw a reel at them, expecting the bandmembers to flipping well tape it themselves! Makes me mad!
Clearly a creative, skilled and expressive band with a great song-writing and performance potential. An interesting "add-on" is the outstanding Burns Marquee sound. I am loving it since it distinguishes the band's guitar sound from other alternative/punk bands in a great way :-)
Surprisingly you know punk music. She sings like Johny Rotten. I thought everyone dislikes it because they listen to 'hipster' stuff. I sometimes didn't like how she sang and their sound but I like it. (I don't understand most of her English).
Agree. They're trying TOO hard and it's obvious. Not only that, they're not very good at their instruments. Mediocrity now seems to be cool. Not to me.
This is too good. Love that wild lead guitar, simple pounding beats, jerky vocal delivery, and strutting bass lines. Reminds me of early Kings of Leon at times, along with some Arctic Monkeys and Louis XIV.
Seen them supporting Garbage in Berlin and they are AWESOME. Unbelievable energy. They are talented. Your comments are all about appearance...Who cares. You don't care much about how men look. They have their own style, like it or hate it. But what they do is pretty fresh amongst today's female artists.
I'm not sure which I enjoyed more, the fantastic, energetic, and original music, or the comments from those who can't handle music that doesn't pander to their demographic.
nope, mr. Professor Booty. Some people just can't handle a three-girl-one-boy punk-ish band being succesful and I guess that's what he's referring to. They're clearly over-analyzing their music because they're girls and they sound powerful, and you can find some evidence in this comment section. Just my opinion tho.
"I am not my body, I am somebody."
her vocals are straight from the nineties and the guitar playing is so dirty and raw LOVE IT
клонулост she can sing. Her last band halleluwah was more in the style of Massive Attack/Goldfrapp. Really cool stuff. It is on Spotify
@@MrFinnmayer wow...she sings really different for that band...i gotta admit i love the way she sings for dream wife. the way she accentuates words is so cool
am from the mid80s/C86/early90s generation... been a long time since I heard something with attitude
John Peel would've loved them!!
Dire Straights***
Actually from the early 1980s. See Delta 5 & Pylon.

Do you mean Samba Tea? Loving the band!
Lol. But it´s so charming!
The lyrics are so good. Love this band.
@@aler3395 lol
Too much negative comments for this band. One of the best girl punk bands I've seen for a long while.
they're brilliant compared to pussy riot
if they were a real band not a bunch of cheap sluts
I think it's the "vocalist"... not a great voice, just talks & shouts really, while hardly rhyming, or making sense. Some of the lyrics are a bit unoriginal. The music is is ok. Not amazing, but not bad.
well i guess your not much into punk. also, its debatable if this is punk or not
I've personally barely seen any negative comments (maybe 1 out of 50 as I scroll through the comments, and even that one wasn't really negative). But yes, they kick ass
been too long since a band like this has come around!! Hope these girls keep making music for a long time
Guitarist is inspiring tbh.
I assume for something other than her guitar skills haha.
@@brain4154Why would you assume that?
yeah she's found a really cool tone and style. Really artistic playing.
My god, you can see the joy in their faces when they're playing
if you have caught them live strangely they are mesmerising
Alice is such an incredible guitarist and Bella is a kick ass bassist... love everything about this band
This band is amazing, I love them! Cheers from Brazil! :)
Exuberant, fun and highly addictive, been watching it over again a couple of times! FUU, Lolita and Take it back are all great tracks! Can't wait to catch them live! Dream Wife 4 life!

they are so effortlessly Alive
I can't stop watching it again and again; it is like porn
I really think you got the point.
Just discovered this band. Definitely a big fan
Found this after looking for acts to see at Latitude in a few weeks and they are now top of list. Remind me a little of early CSS and it's great to see an act enjoying themselves so much.
Alice is amazing! They all are top notch. I've known about DW, for 5 years now I reckon. And worth every minute of it ever since! I love this band.
Only just found this on KEXP - fabulous energy....!!!
One of the best things I have ever seen
Je les adore !!!! Merci pour ce live.
Would have loved to have been at the show! What energy and fun. The guitarist is Inspired! Thanks for posting KEXP.
Good energy I like it
💕
they're brilliant.
Very good sound and performance, the best band that I have listened this april.
I saw them recently and I liked them a lot. They have good songs and a great live, they give off great energy. They made me dance and sing. They are prepared to succeed. I hope to see them again. Enjoy assured.
i recommend seeing them live - i loved the show in reading last week
They are having genuine fun. And the singer is very pretty.
That 2nd song is so fun! I love the energy overall! great stuff! Thanks KEXP.
She is most exciting guitarist heard in ages. Inventive and fun. Reminds me of buzzcocks a bit .
she's insane, and the guitar is sooooooo sehhhhck
I love all of 'em. guitar riff, vocals and bass harmonic.
These guys totally won me over. Clean crunchy rocking high energy!
Guys ?!
1 year later, still listening !
This band is brilliant thank you Guardian for introducing.
I want one of those old Burns guitars. It sounds wonderful.
Yesss!! I am feeling this group and their performance!!
Lots of fun and quite good. Reminds of post punk UK bands from the 1980s, but with more melody (hello Viv Albertine!). Always interesting how singers who aren't native English speakers pronounce certain easy words like "can" and "back." Provides a nice weird edge.
Loving getting into this band, managed to get a copy of a promo cd and got tickets to see them live.......cant fkn wait
just saw them live in hamburg and i’m so in love. i met rakel after the show and she was the most humble and nice person it’s unreal
this band is soooo good omg omg omg 4th time listening all the way through and found this a day ago
My new favourite band. Nice job, ladies.
Love the energy enthusiasm & positivity.
Great energy, great songs, great performance. Awesome band.
100%! took me a few listens to understand, now I'm really digging it!!!
I'm so glad that I've seen them live this just great to see 😁😁😁
This music is greater than life!
Even a great video and soundjob ;) cant save this!
This band is my favorite find of 2018. They were fucking awesome in Minneapolis at 7th Street Entry. I hope they come back soon.
I'm not sure what it is, but I keep going back to this
How the hell did I miss this band raw power at its best. I thank you for saving us all from weepy gloom.
There's a lot of post punk going on here. Early talking heads, sugarcubes (obviously) and even some of the brit bands like wire etc. It's more refreshing than a lot of the garbage thats mass produced and churned out -and the fact that the hipsters don't like it is a good thing.
they seem a bit hipster themselves
Mesmerizing... you can feel the energy
I think this band has a ton of potential.
No they don't. Not in the current landscape of music. Their songs really aren't that good. I think you're just saying that because they look like a band. Members wise rather than music wise.
Just because you don't like it, doesn't mean others don't. Unless professors have the power to tell what people are REALLY thinking! ;)
dangrabat It does have some potential in the indie scene
I fucking love them. They tick all the boxes for me. Great performance I'd pay to see them live if they played in my town. Better than most of the shit that allegedly passes as indie music these days.
@Professor Booty I imagine you saying that also for you The Wire and Pere Ubu sucks like shit and that lou reed shouldn't sing...
Wonderful concert !
I was almost clapping in my living room with the audience.
Looking forward to seeing then in Switzerland next month.
improvisation on stage with the microphone, energetic and original music, I liked great band.
''if you have neon tape, you are my friend.''''
i feel so much love for this band...
great tracks and a nice smile.fresh pop rock íts addictive
I've become a big fan of Dream Wife since hearing a couple of their tunes on BBC6 Music. They are unlike anything I've heard in a while!
Mrrrrrr cant wait to hear U guys live at WOW this year
amazing band of amazing people great sounds and energy
Started off not really liking it but the more I listened the more I got into it. Reminds me a lot of Bloc Party (before the drummer left and they got shit)
Rest in peace bloc party. They where so good before their drummer left and they got shit. They can't even play their old stuff well anymore and they're not that much older. Their drummer just doesn't cut it.
Thx for the discovery. Love their happy energy
not sure if I like it or not ... but I watched till the end
hahahahaha

Andrea Ruiz Bob totally agree with your thinking and lucky that you saw them live
Best thing out of the Iceland shows so far.
Love their energy
....just how much would the legendary John Peel have loved these fine people and their beautiful creativity.... ?
Alright. This is wicked fun. Nice opener
Viejas locas....me encantan 😍
The youthful vitality of this raw, vibrant punk rock satiates and rejuvenates like fresh, warm blood to my inner vampire. Thanks for the feeding, Dream Wife. I feel revitalized.
YES!
Ok, I cannot resist loud girls.
Tremendous performance and a really good recording, great mix.
See you in Heaven ladies! 21/3/18.
good band with high positive energy levels. Like 'em a lot.
Con esta banda llenó el hueco que deja yeah yeah yeahs, en pocas palabras son estupendas, las saludo desde mexico 🇲🇽🤘🏻
Take it back is a really good song, great band
really awesome
one word- IMPRESSIVE
I really like them! They're cute and they have a great energy. The songs are like ear worms; overall pretty neat stuff!
Love thisssss
I really like their energy
brilliant, very refreshing
¿Como llegue a esta madre?,.. y que buena musica,.. me quedo a ver todo el video,..
Esto me ha hecho saltar a las 3 am mientras estudiaba. Genial
yep still my fave!!!
getting airplay on JJJ in Australia. great stuff : ) m56
Really good live band, it's a shame their recorded work lacks this energy. Will definitely be keeping an eye on them
SALUDOS DESDE ARGENTINA .MUY MUSICA :-)
Guitar is amazing.
Friggin' hell KEXP, the mic was glitching out for an entire song, the singer had to keep pushing the ruddy cable in, no-one on the tech team thought to hand her a spare mic, but waited until after the song, when she'd had to literally ask for some tape, to then just throw a reel at them, expecting the bandmembers to flipping well tape it themselves! Makes me mad!
Probably the best band in the world at this moment?
hodná obluda no
I love you Dreams Wife
Great band, great music
Clearly a creative, skilled and expressive band with a great song-writing and performance potential.
An interesting "add-on" is the outstanding Burns Marquee sound. I am loving it since it distinguishes the band's guitar sound from other alternative/punk bands in a great way :-)
I don't know what to think about this. I don't think I like it very much but it's strangely captivating.
Surprisingly you know punk music. She sings like Johny Rotten. I thought everyone dislikes it because they listen to 'hipster' stuff. I sometimes didn't like how she sang and their sound but I like it. (I don't understand most of her English).
lol this seems hipsterish to those who grew up with all that shit
fucking weird
Even I can sing like that, and I cannot sing : )
Agree. They're trying TOO hard and it's obvious. Not only that, they're not very good at their instruments. Mediocrity now seems to be cool. Not to me.
ouackstrax then go form a band
This is too good. Love that wild lead guitar, simple pounding beats, jerky vocal delivery, and strutting bass lines. Reminds me of early Kings of Leon at times, along with some Arctic Monkeys and Louis XIV.
lmao

If you don't like it, don't listen.
But don't come on with the vile language.
Let others - me! - enjoy a band we think are something special.
The most outrageous words from Fossil Fishy were 'can't handle' and 'pander'.
The reaction - to call him/her a cunt.
Balanced!
or just heard it before noob
+Professor Booty Love your pfp.
nope, mr. Professor Booty. Some people just can't handle a three-girl-one-boy punk-ish band being succesful and I guess that's what he's referring to. They're clearly over-analyzing their music because they're girls and they sound powerful, and you can find some evidence in this comment section. Just my opinion tho.
this band is so dope even though the vocals are okay but I look forward to hearing more from them hopefully
Nice to watch Chris Hillman play the drums !
I really like this
So good.
Good energy 🤘🏻
