The first time I saw this video was when I was in high school, the season was autumn. At that time, I caught a cold, so I left school early and was watching UA-cam on my bed at home, and I found this video in the recommended videos. I was intrigued by the grainy image, and when I opened it, I was greeted by the energy of young people and gentle music like a picture book. Since then, I've been watching this video from time to time, and every time I see it, it reminds me of that warm, fluffy feeling that's peculiar to having a cold.
Did you take cough medicine. I realized a lot of those very specific experience in retrospect are traced to being on DXM from cold medicine. (I realized this through doing higher doses on purpose and realizing "oh shit is this why i had mystical experiences when i was sick sometimes?" I always thought it was fever dreams but the DXM was involved for sure.
I agree they have really good energy. And surprisingly despite the low audio quality of this video. I feel like some of that energy translates better here compared to some of the recordings.
ahhh my god whyy did piglet break up! their music is so unique, it has a dreamy, euphoric feel that i cant get over. i really wish they had more songs. so much talent!
@BitsofParrots Toe is incredibly melodic. Yeah, the drummer is pretty much the epitome of all things good and pure in this universe, but the rest of the band has a perfect way of absorbing it all in a cotton ball full of the catchiest tunes you could ever pull into a syringe and shoot into your earballs for your weak little mind to get hooked to. What? I'm willing to risk prison time for a dose if I had to, that shit is fire. Of course, it can't be compared to that Piglet video up there. I have to come back to it once in a while to watch what looks like FUCKING KIDS create music that contains enough greatness to explode stars. I don't know how they do it. I don't even know what they're doing. It slightly resembles a half forgotten acid trip where 3 ninjas jumped into heaven and spin-kicked God in the face. But every time I watch this, I'm pleasantly satisfied. Kudos Piglet, kudos.
i cant even explain the goosebumps i get EVERYTIME i put this video on..i didnt think it was possible for a band to be THIS good. hands down, my favorite experimental band of all time. FUCK THE MAINSTREAM!!
Archipiélagos, cisne, bridges and Knights; y hay algunos más. Argentina es un país grande, tiene cositas interesantes en la escena underground. Acá cómo mucho encontrás a gente haciendo un poco de reggae.
This is one of the few visual shreds of evidence of how badly this Chicago band (that broke up way too early) shreds. Now... Where is a Colossal video?
![Piglet - Lava Land [Full EP]](/img/n.gif)
The guy in the corner trying to act cool next to the girl still cracks me up
Fat Justin Long?
VICEGIRLS lmao he looks so awkward
looks like (sandy) Alex G
about as cool as trying to smoke a ciggie whilst drumming! great vid though.
Boidink Twistie are you saying that WASN'T cool? Do you know exactly how badass that is?
shoutouts to the drummer for keeping the cigarette in his mouth the whole time!
please dont ever let this video die
Still can't believe this video exists
Everything in this video is amazing, the music, the frat boy vibes and the flannel. Even featuring the classic red plastic cup. RIP Piglet
these are drunk hipsters not frat boys
that guy smokes cigarette.
sorry,one cool dude in a beanie smokin a ciggy permitted to each party brah

bass player and drummer seem to be in clear violation of the flannel shirt policy.
someone find these guys and make them make music again. pleaseeee!
What the fuck? I didn’t expect to see you here; NNAMDÏ what’s good man?
based nnamdi
my boy NNAMDÏ pls release another math rock album
Nnamdi king of all the genres
i went to go comment "cool Nnamdï profile pic" and then realized you were Nnamdï
The drummer is so fucking beast, words seriously can't describe it.
These dudes went to my high school. I remember I saw them a long time ago at some church basement in Lake Forest? Any1 else at that show?
I genuinely wish this band would make an album every year. Incredible energy and feel.
they broke up like a long time ago
+Heytheresailor I know but I just wish that they could still come together to carry on making albums. Every song they do is golden.
I agree they have really good energy. And surprisingly despite the low audio quality of this video. I feel like some of that energy translates better here compared to some of the recordings.
not surprising that most replays is on that sick drum fil at 0:52
This is a math rock classic.
this is like the curly afro convention XD love you guys :D
+10thlevel80 Welcome to Highland Park
+Captain Funk Was this shot in HP? Asking bc i'm from there. And yes can confirm the abundance of curly afros

drummer kills it.
it is a crime against humanity that these guys only made one album
check out 2013 and 2014 releases
damn amazing drummer
I am here for the first time. And im glad to be here. 🎉🎉🎉 10/10

ahhh my god whyy did piglet break up! their music is so unique, it has a dreamy, euphoric feel that i cant get over. i really wish they had more songs. so much talent!
it would be nice to find musicians like this where i live.
I miss you boys so much.
Wow, these guys are actually pretty damn good. They need to send out much praise to their drummer, dude can def. keep a groove! Nice!
Guitar player became a doctor, he's a surgery resident: www.henryford.com/hcp/med-ed/residencies-fellowships/hfh/surgery/residents
I heard he’s a neuro surgeon. Imagine your surgeon mentioning he used to make music and you find out it slapped this hard hahah
I'm watching this at a time when me visiting a gig like this in real life is pretty much impossible but I'm loving every second of the video aha
This popped up on my recommended videos today. Wild. Good stuff.
This vid is legendary.
This is easily one of my favorite videos of all time.
That is one great band, no one is lacking

Wanna be on this kind of stuff here on Argentina, oh man, tired of post-hardcore wannabe scene, this is what I need
Archipiélagos, cisne, bridges and Knights; y hay algunos más.
Argentina es un país grande, tiene cositas interesantes en la escena underground. Acá cómo mucho encontrás a gente haciendo un poco de reggae.
Evans Evans Buenísimo! Solo conocí a Hungría, no sabía de esas...gracias man, buena ondaaa! la movida math esta creciendo bastante en Argentina

I'm from Brazil, and the sound of these boys is one of my sound inspirations!
nice job I love it

Drummer with a cigarette in his mouth, I love this band even more now.

I really wish this was a "pro" shot video because I've been trying to figure out how to play it for like a week.
These are the friends I want.
the arguments on these videos are entertaning
when i first heard this song i always imagined yelling at :54 . this video is too perfect
i love the music :) keep it yup !
how many double cutaway style guitars has this video sold
Are there any videos of these guys with good audio? Id like to hear what they sound like
I think I got mad science off their myspace like 2-3 years ago
nice jams
awesome!
"Colossal, American Football, Ghosts and Vodka, Piglet, Owls..."
What are bands that ended way too early for $1,000, Alex?
Ahhh, remember when Amem Foofboof was a fondly-remembered band that "ended too soon..."
Goats
From Russia with love!!!
damn this is so good
@Pomeray8 The drummer and guitarist are in Duck on a Rock.
Flannels need to be popular again.
@closedmouth No even a full album, an EP at that!
Wow!
god, why did they break up? they could have been the best math rock band out there
That... Is some fucking awesome drumming my freind :)
weird beer move at 1:54
This is one of the few visual shreds of evidence of how badly this Chicago band (that broke up way too early) shreds.
Now... Where is a Colossal video?
The older I get the more Tweez-era Slint I hear in this. Alot happier though.
Muy bueno!
Wow, looks like the clone machine's working. Stomping on my boy's bug to this for EONS
wow...
from the looks of it a Gibson Les Paul Double Cutaway with p-90s
Christ how young are these guys? I need to practice more.
AH WHY DID THESE DUDS BREAK UP
