Man they just have so much soul. The bassist throwing off her headphones, the guitarist jumping up and down, the drummer covering the whole cymbal with his body so it wouldn't ring at the wrong moment. They're all listening.
Yes!! Like my jaw literally just dropped when the bassist threw her headphones off and just started going crazy with the jam. So much passion there arghh
Wow! Very well said!!!!! ……………….
You said it - Bassist is about the most intense performer I have seen since maybe Hendrix.
still not her headphones, kinda disrespectful
@@tungatroll9117With this performance I would forgive her trashing the whole studio :D
9:30 " I drunk every day. And people were crazy. This is the first time I saw people dance and fight to my music" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Shout out to the audiotree engineers. Always buttery smooth. Good job.
except when they mute audio in between songs..
For serious the tone on that bass is so fucking nice
Buttery smooth and always like to bury the vocals in the mix.
not really they just do a simple mix, they do a lot of mistakes old sessions where a mess between really good and really bad but meh i follow them for the artist
Hell yeah, Audiotree always has goooooorgeous mixes!!
Taiwan is a country! And this band is great fourth-generation math rock!
The best math rock band in Taiwan \m/
TAIWAN #1 !!!!
From the era.
idk any other math rock bands out of taiwan. rec me some good ones pls.
@@blokmotion chinese football, ttng, murphy radio
@@hrstwn i dont think any of those are from taiwan but i've never heard of murphy radio so thanks!
Just saw them live in Dallas where they again kicked off their new world tour. Incredible experiencing them up close. The sound of KT on the bass is so incredible - sometimes feels a little drowned out on some recordings. It's definitely worth every dollar to see them live!!
I was there ! Their personalities really shine through live too, they're all very rad and they did sound awesome as hell
KT is awesome, indeed!
I'm 54 and I surf the web looking for new interesting bands, to avoid always listening to the same old music - even if beautiful - and it's nice (even if rare) to find a really interesting band every now and then.
That's great! I hope I'll never stop looking for new music too!
I'm 59 and doing the same. :-)
26yo right here and I am happy to read this. I've met too many 40+ year olds who are convinced that good music's died decades ago and looking for something new is a waste of time. Thanks to the internet we now have access to the greatest variety music that deserves to be discovered and appreciated - old or new
Have you heard Chon? If you like this give them a listen
@@mishab4065 I so agree with you. Dig and you will find
The drummer's economy of motion is fascinating lol. Such light movements, but absolute authority...and then I see him dive on the crash and completely disregard it. Love this band.
Honestly, Math Rock is just the perfect Genre. It's always so beautifully melodic while the rhythms and harmonies are so intriguing. When you have the time, it's absolutely worth listening to the music very closely and discover every little thing that's going on. If you're busy, just let it play in the background and enjoy the mood. It just took the best parts from Rock, Pop and Jazz and combined it into this weirdly wonderful thing....
Perfectly said.
Sebastian Shammer
do you have any similar band to recommend? id love to hear more
@@SteveYuth Toe, LITE, TTNG, Chinese Football, Delta Sleep, Via Luna,
I second these reccomendations and also Standards and Floral
@@SteveYuth First American Football LP is good too
Bassist: *throws headphones off and gets possessed*
Me: oh sht yea, get it!
she was FEELING IT
watched this video so many times wondering if i would ever get the chance to see them live. just came home from their set at El Rey theater in LA. All their songs sounded amazing and the whole band had amazing engagement with the crowd. KT even signed my beer can ahhahahha
They were great
Her bass is EQ'd so well its insane. She's so good (drools out ears)
I know right.. she is killing it
KT always goes ham on Finger... When the headphones came off, you knew shit was going down!
Kfc it good.........
Exactly what happened when Tricot removed their headphones at the end of their Audiotree session :-)
I was tripping and found this performance, specifically Finger, and when the bassist takes her phones off and just jams i broke down in tears. the intense passion of jamming a piece you wrote with your soul. if you watch she shakes her earrings out right after that, too. that passion drove me to write my first song, ever. thank you elephant gym.
Great artists for tripping:
1. Shpongle
2. Grateful Dead (modern versions: Joe Russo's Almost Dead, Billy & The Kids ft. Billy Strings)
3. Tipper
4. Billy Strings
5. Mico-X
6. Joanna Newsom
7. Pink Floyd
Saw her on a live performance dropping shots and she's a force for nature to deal with.. KT might just mean Keep Trying..
I didn't notice she shook her earrings out! WOW!
Is it because you're simple and/or on psychotropic medication?
makes me cry too. beautiful
Program -- (It might seem too technical from the gitgo, but it could grow on you, too. Some great music here. Two thumbs up, Gym and Audiotree)

guitar: Tell Chang; bass: KT Chang; drums: Chia-Chin Tu
Thank you for the breakdown, W. Coast Duffer. You get today's Community Service Award. It's here somewhere ...
No problem, Neal. That band is obviously accomplished enough that somebody would do it soon or later. I had some spare time and thought "why wait?" And then the drummer is wearing a Seattle t-shirt -- that's not too far from my stomping grounds, altho' … off the top of my head, I'm not sure which is closer, Seattle … or Mt. Rainier Nat'l Park. (okay, okay, it's a ref. to a baseball club …) Little doubt, if he were still around, Peter Rainier would be proud in any case. :-)
what is that weird transcription you used for their names?? bassists name is Keiting Zhang (張凱婷), guitarist is Kaixiang Zhang (張凱翔), drummer is Jiaqin Tu (涂嘉欽)
@@eljestLiv it's different, but quite common transcription to the name too.
this should be top comment
I had the privilege to listen to them at their first concert in the Netherlands. They are so good......!!!!!!!!!!
When KT threw her headphones and went wild I got chills. So great to see someone do what they love
such a rare combination of raw talent, extreme discipline and experience, and just 3 people who know how to have fun. they are such incredible musicians. the drummer is like the tide, the bassist is the wave, and the guitarist/pianist is the light reflecting off the surface.
I had never heard of this band, and I just fell in love with them after watching this performance. Also omg they’re so cute, groovy, extremely talented!This music is all good vibes.
Look up their video for "ocean in the night".
I first heard it years ago and the chorus still gets stuck in my head; to this day, one of their best.
same ... love at first song
First song of theirs I liked is called light. It has a really cool and trippy piano section in the beginning that plays through the whole song.
This might be my new favourite band. They have a perfect mix of upbeat math rock and jazz. I love the bassist. I love that the bass is almost the "star" instrument in their music. It's just brilliant. I could listen to their work all day. I would give my right arm to be able to compose music like this.
Well AKAIK, the band name Elephant Gym(nastics) comes from a metaphor for music that has agile bass sound☺️
I believe that everyone who never told me this band exists before has failed me.
我是一听到就迷上了他们的韩国人。我希望他们更上一层楼，能够成为在世界上最著名的mathrock乐队！
I love how all the best audio tree math rock sessions end with them jamming the headphones off.
First time listener; lifelong fan!!
I am SOOOOO Happy to see these guys getting recognition. KT is a generational bass player in my opinion. To see her going completely off at the 6:59 mark is priceless. Ask her what she did in Austin..... "I drunk everyday". I love this girl. She saw her first Mosh Pit in Austin. :)
UA-cam recommendations finally working for me. Great new find
Facts
Drummer is killin it as well. Comping, dynamics,groove. Hes got it all!!!
I've heard this so many times I know the entire dialogue of the interview parts. xD
lmao
Same here xDDD
BBQ! BBQ!
i seriously did not expect an interview that entertaining
you can tell the amazing amount of synergy these guys have
身為台灣人，我竟然現在才知道這麼一個超級棒的樂團！感覺台灣音樂界有好多寶藏啊！
As an american I love Taiwan's indie and math rock scene. So many talented and great bands all with their own unique sounds.
Dude, totally, your music scene is amazing. Saw Sunset Rollercoaster live a few months ago in Brussels, one of the best concerts I've ever been to. These guys are on the list as must sees for me too
台湾真的很多很多很好的乐队啊！
台湾有特别好的indie。 我第一次听到台湾的indie是 no part for cao dong 的 "山海”
@@postmalonalisa420no party for cao dong is great!
Till this day, I'm still grateful that Elephant Gym, especially the 8 secs bass of KT from Finger, have brought me back to life whenever I couldn't make it in life. Have been listening to them for almost 5 years, never regreted. Thanks for being amazing and keep on the hard work and inspiration.
Elephant gym live audiotree
*Is this heaven?*
What an excellent jazz/rock/fusion(?) band. This is this first time I've heard Elephant Gym. I was hooked immediately! Highly skilled musicians who fully immerse themselves into their songs.
I will begin looking for other works from them. Thanks for sharing this talented band!
Welcome to Math Rock
We hAtE PrAcTiCe.. no, I hated practice and now my guitar collects dust. This band just kicked my summer off early. Thanks for this
Wow. It's amazing when you stumble onto awesomeness like this from watching Khurangbin.
Oh, so that must be how I got here too.
I've been following this band for a while now and seeing this makes me so happy. I nearly teared to spring rain too! For one of my audio engineering final projects I had to overdub a scene from cowboy bebop completely and I used spring rain as most of the background music.... I've spent literal days just listening to this one song and I'm still not tired of it. Much love from New York !!
Upload it I want to see it!!
I did the same project but with akira, do you study in SAE? LOL
Thanks Audiotree - I hadn't heard of Elephant Gym prior to hearing this, and they're absolutely brilliant. Insanely great musicianship, great dynamics, just fantastic work.
Man UA-cam recommendations this days r on point.
That's such beautiful music! It's so modern, at times majestic, they're a blast to watch! Good luck to the Elephants!
Music from Taiwan. Proud of you guys!
This is one of my most listened-to live recordings of all time. Just gorgeous and fun and calming and cathartic, all at once. I will treasure this recording until the day I die.
When the bassist throws the headphones, then I falling in love with her
I just was on that part when I read your comment. Agree!
@@lukang72 yean not sure why that was so attractive
SHES CRAZY! :D"
she just couldnt headbang with them on so she did what she had to
She's so badass
Thank you, YT big data. :-) OMG... Polyphia's Seymour Duncan guitar pickup ad brought me to Polyphia > Animals As Leaders > Covet (bought it on Bandcamp) > Chon > Elephant Gym (purchased them and alarmed/spamed all my NO'TORIOUS music friends) > Sunset Rollercoaster (Wishlist) > Phum Viphurit (purchased; Phum = the funky, decent, tasteful inheritor of, yes, early Sir Chris Rea!!!!! > Last Dinosaur (purchased).
What a fantastic two days music roller coaster trip! After all these years, UA-cam music recommendations finally seem to work for me. Writes a dude born in the sixties. ;-)
Hope to have you guys performing live on stage in Berlin!! We are hungry for your music!
All my best wishes fly to you. Cheers.

My son is working at the ArcTanGent festival - I asked what sort of festival is that? He told me it's Math Rock! in 61 years, I have never heard of it - so searched and found this - Oh! My - this is incredible - it's like jazz with the boring bits taken out - am loving it :)
在這裡看到自己喜歡的樂團的感覺難以言喻！
真
國際粉絲比台灣粉絲還多XD
也是有留英文的台灣粉絲啦XD不過國際粉絲真的多
安排上了
@Wu Kevin 已經很久沒聽排行榜的歌了哈哈
感覺國外的音樂場景比較蓬勃，接受度也很高
Beautiful people, beautiful music, beautiful country! 我愛台灣! 🇹🇼 🇹🇼 🇹🇼
Chia Chin Tu is my new drumming idol. A very underrated musician
One of the best videos on YT
i didn't know math rock can be this beautiful. this really great
Better late than never. Check out Toe while you are at math rock too. Elephant Gym is excellent, but Toe is at the pinnacle in my opinion.
Yeah, toe is REALLY good. Two Moons and Goodbye (feat. Toki Asako) are probably my favorites songs
@@bauer444 Math rock is defined by having tons of odd time signatures and meters, lots of numbers crazy numbers = math lol
The way they pullllllll back the tempo during the hits in finger will always feel special
i love the chemistry between the band members, they really seem to enjoy what they do. remarkable as well the job of the sound engineers, gretings from chile!. :)
Back here again because I'm cleaning my room and need some good jams to stay motivated 😂
God of match rock Asia. You are shining , Deep in your hearts I’m fan from Thailand
one of the most important bands on the planet!
HELL YEAH, I love these guys. Happy to see them getting even more exposure.
Washington State Native here. The fact that this band is putting music out like this and the drummer was wearing a Rainiers shirt really threw me off. I thought they would have been a Seattle mathrock band. This is insane. What an animal of a bassist.
I secretely prayed for this to happen and it's finally here. These guys are so good at writing songs, and it's a real pleasure seeing them playing for Audiotree. Hope they will get more visibility after that and be able to tour more and more around the world, to spread their beautiful vibes.
Im in love with the bassist. She looks so graceful yet so powerful rock ❤️❤️❤️
We all are I think 😂.
But the whole band kicks ass. Makes me happy
It’s so good to see elephant gym here! Now let’s get totorro!
I haven’t fallen in love with a band like this since I first heard Animals as Leaders.
6:40 oh my goodness
Man this performance always blows me away
It's beautiful how so many of the bands you bring on here appear to be going through a cathartic experience while playing
I'm literally crying @7:30 . Amazing
All the world needs is an Elephant Gym x Toe x Covet supergroup, and I think we can solve Global Warming.
Toe drummer, Elephant Gym bassist, and Covet guitarist would be the dream team imo
@@woventheweird exactly what I had in mind, still do 🥲
finally, a drummer who drums without shoes on. I thought I was a weirdo
It's better without shoes dude 🤘
LUL, it's not being weird... It's called preferences dude...
Heck, I'm much more comfortable playing with sandals than in shoes.
Jerry Marotta doesn't wear shoes
Fuck shoes bro 🗿 the feets where it’s at
I am Edweirdo and proud of it! much prefer the traps barefooted.
台灣之光👍

曹小歐 OtisTsao 繼落日飛車後 太棒
小歐真的懂聽
真der
野生小歐
Around 7:00 or so, gets me every time. Such a great recording.
God damn the production on this is amazing. Props to the sound engineers! Great band too!
每次工作的時候回來聽這次表演，都能消除我的焦慮感。大象體操的音樂總是讓我不自覺地晃動自己的身體起舞，心情卻有種平靜和興奮的矛盾衝突(好的意義上)，而且回來聽都不會有膩的感覺，彷彿是某種自然存在的數字邏輯或真理，脫離了新舊的概念(???)
So wonderful to host you!! 💓💓💓💓💓💓 great job and best wishes
Emily Blue Your music is beautiful as well btw
You were such a great, kind host! And your voice is so relaxing
Hi Emily!!!
시냇물이 만나 강을 이루고 결국 넘실거리는 바다가 되는 듯한 사운드~ 멋진 밴드네요
That bass was sublime. They’ve gained a new fan!
i have listened to this i dont even know how many times now but every time i feel like i learn something new, love you guys
哇，想不到FINGER這首歌的演出從去年megaport進化成現在這種樣子，6:40 KT把耳機甩開之後的狂熱讓我激動到眼睛進沙子了啦！！！
Wow, not sure how I got here but I'm glad I did!! ☺️
Rich Brian over there killin' it on the drums god damn
this is the most greatest band in Taiwan, we are proud of you, Elephant Gym. @大象體操
God the bassist’s energy is so infectious, even from a video I found myself moving along with her!!
One of the best drummer i’ve seen on youtube
So excited to see them grow, such an amazing band.
Cheers from México!
Damn these guys are crazy good! Great vibe,
Seeing and hearing this band just makes me stoked about music and life in general. Phenomenal
The base player is out of this world.. amazing :-)
After hearing 3 of their songs on Spotify, I immediately created a playlist for them, knowing that I'd love everything I heard from them.
This is track 4 for me, and they're now 4 for 4. My new favourite band, out of the blue.
Spectacular stuff! And I'm sure it'll be good to mountain-bike with too.
I'm off to fill my playlists with them.
Trying to pick a favorite Elephant Gym member but I love them all
Very talented group. I always enjoy three-piece bands.
trio
You made me notice there are only three people.
WOW! The bassist blew my socks off from playing those hammer on bass lines and the rest of playing so powerful and tight…They seem so super cool and fun.. I love to see them live. I just found my new favorite bassist
めっちゃカッコイイ！！
3ピースのバンドてリズム隊が
上手くないとダメだけど
これは最高！
ジャンルは違いますが
アースレスと似た感じ！
応援します。世界へ翔け！
I’m from Japan.
Elephant Gym is honor of Asia.
@@TairaNomichi i saw a music cover somewhere. I found Japanese/Asia music six months ago and am now a Fan. I think an evening with music from elephant Gymnasium, rega and LiTE is planned this week. Great music! Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland:)
thank you thank you Taiwan and audiotree for producing such goodness
amazing performance for their love of music....simply beautiful
I've been in love with this band for a while, but when KT threw those headphones off... I fell even deeper in love, which I didn't know was possible.
This is the absolute gold standard of bass tone.
Animals As Leaders brought me to Chon which brought me to Intervals which brought me to Plini and now I am here lol.
Polyphia is well worth a look if you haven't checked them out yet :)
@@lukericketts6092 been a fan of them for awhile too
From here you go to Covet
We on same spiritual level dude
Asian math rock is a whole new world
Great band! One of the best things to come out of Taiwan!
21:40 those vocals hit so unexpectedly
This is so well mixed, incredible performers too, i'd absolutely love to see them and support them in Australia
