As a Swede, I'm always amazed at how revered Dungen is throughout the world, even though all their lyrics are in Swedish, really speaks to the power of good music.
I'm English and they are one of my favourites, apparently they pretty much single handedly inspired the start of the modern psychedelic rock movement in Australia which has spread across the world now, hugely influential.
@@garthkite Yes!!!! In fact Gustav (the brainchild behind the group) was set to produce Tame Impala's first EP. And if you listen to that EP or their first two albums you really can hear their influence. It's great
This session is really fine and the quality superb, I really love this band and the years of music they've given to us all! I met my wife at a Dungen concert and we danced our butts and heels off. After all these years the music of Dungen is still fresh and elevating.
My girlfriend draggad me to their show yesterday in Malmo, Sweden. And Im glad she did! As a fan of 70s prog rock I enjoyed every second of it. Great live band!
Going to a tame impala show in NYC this june and Dungens gonna be there. Never heard about them until now, this being my first exposure to them, and GOOD GOD IVE NEVER VIBED TO A FLUTE BEFORE UNTIL NOW
Taking into consideration all the rock/pop bands I've heard since the 1960s, Dungen are definitely one of my all-time top favorite groups. Somewhere in my top 5.
In my mind; it does not got better than this! I love the joy and love of music expressed. These guys are extremely talented. Thank you for the music! :-)
Quality top rock. 1)It's so nice to see them playing, I didn't realize that they utilize a wooden flute. 2) Thank you KEXP for pronoucing thier name because I had been mispronoucing it. I think the last song is my favorite, although the second and first are really good as well. If fans are allowed to comment then let me say "bravo" and "very nicely done".
Ironically, this is the first top Swedish band I have heard sing in their Swedish language. Most Swedes I have heard speak English better than most Americans.
this is a bit late...but the story is reine (the guitarist) occasionally gets very frustrated when recording, so much so sometimes that he throws the guitar. the first couple times he did that he cracked the neck of the guitar, so when he went to repair it again, he told his repair guy to just add cable ties to the head stock because eventually he’ll be frustrated again, resulting in his guitar cracking, so the ties are a way to prevent that from happening again...

I think it's an old school Levin guitar. They used to make these in Sweden. You can still get them, but they're made somewhere in Asia now and they're not quite at the same quality as they once were.
+betojmd you can buy clones of the carlin compressor from moodysounds in sweden. Great pedal. I believe Reine (the guitarist) uses his wahwah a lot to shape the sound as well. And some of his distortion comes from his old klemt echolette tape-echo/amp as well. moodysounds.com/en/produkt/carlin-compressor-clone/ there's the compressor. Fun fact: the customer mentioned in the description of the pedal was me, haha, I feel pleased that I in a very small way helped start the reissues of the pedal.
+Erik L yeah man, I've been studying his tone for some years, and indeed I've noticed that he does use wah a lot to shape his tone! as for the pedal, I've got the scheme already and I'll be soon paying someone to build it for me, I really like how this fuzz works :) and nice to know it was you haha!
Well tell us more about the past " Dungens" history all the way back in the late 60s tour with bands like Meckie Markmen ua-cam.com/video/MSNjMNuqwkA/v-deo.html & bands like Grand Funk Railroad on the US.tour 69-
These guys need to learn how to turn the fuck up for American audiences. I saw them about 10 years ago in Detroit, around when they released Ta det lungnt and Tio bitar (which are beasts), expecting to see an intense, balls to the wall rock show. What I got was a neutered Robert plant 1975 shtick, sunday drive easy listening. I'm not advocating hearing loss, but this was the quietest, low intensity, rock show I've ever seen. These guys have the chops and the songs, but bore to tears live.
+hurkamur1 strange...I saw them live in Helsinki a month ago, was a great ROCK SHOW! With Robert Plant on the bass drum, jumping all around like crazy :-)
+hurkamur1 and guys like you need to learn that some people make music mostly for themselves. do you really think that their biggest goal as musicians is to pleasure american fans? bands/musicians doesn't own you anything, if they're happy doing what they want, that's fine already, in the end it's up to you to like them or not, get over this thing man. also judging from other live videos from them here on youtube, I would never see/rate them as a quiet live band, the problem you've mentioned probably wasn't their fault but to the place where they gig'ed.
+betojmd There are all kinds of reasons a band can do a lackluster show. Maybe they just weren't feeling it, or jetlagged or something . It had nothing to do with bad playing, they were tight, just boring as hell. In contrast to their recorded material which is highly charged. The show was at the magic stick, a legendary Detroit club. I've seen probably over a hundred shows there over the years, had nothing to do with the venue. It wasn't a cheap ticket, and in Detroit you can't play a softcock show. I saw the Notwist there a few years earlier, who I thought would be good, but they blew the doors off the place, beyond all expectations.
then again you've made me sure that it's just your opinion. your previous comment only express hate and no way it's some kind of positive criticism. you have the right to dislike them sure, but just because you don't like something on them doesn't mean they're doing it wrong. they don't own you anything dude move on, the main point of art isn't to make other people happy, most of the times people doing art just want to let their feelings flow or show into something outside their minds, what you said was really gross of your part.
***** blah blah "art" blah blah. Whatever dude, of course it's just an opinion. But I was disappointed enough by a show I saw 10 years ago that i was compelled to whine about it on UA-cam. Just a word of warning for others, I'll support these particular artists, by spending heaps on the records, and avoiding the live show.

I'm English and they are one of my favourites, apparently they pretty much single handedly inspired the start of the modern psychedelic rock movement in Australia which has spread across the world now, hugely influential.
They're so competent musicians and the tunes are universal, the language barrier is a lesser issue. IMHO. But I'm just guessing, as a fellow Swede. :P
Been my favorite band since I was 16 in 2004. Love them.
@@garthkite Yes!!!! In fact Gustav (the brainchild behind the group) was set to produce Tame Impala's first EP. And if you listen to that EP or their first two albums you really can hear their influence. It's great
Thanks I didn't know that. Great band, also the Doves are a big influence on Dungen. I guess I have a certain taste.
cheryl waters has the best job in the fucking world

!!! "Frank's Kaktus" is even better here than it's recorded in their album.
My girlfriend draggad me to their show yesterday in Malmo, Sweden. And Im glad she did! As a fan of 70s prog rock I enjoyed every second of it. Great live band!
0:49 Åkt Dit

couldn't find it so i added it!
One of my all time favorite bands!
minha também!!!!
For those who don't know, Johan Holmegard, the drummer, played on the latest Sebastien Tellier album, L'Aventura. What a smooth drummer...
didn't know this! thanks man :)
cool! love that album
Mitch Mitchell vibes
I am just sitting here asking myself how do you make your drumset sound like this...
Going to a tame impala show in NYC this june and Dungens gonna be there. Never heard about them until now, this being my first exposure to them, and GOOD GOD IVE NEVER VIBED TO A FLUTE BEFORE UNTIL NOW
omg what a dreamy concert that'll be!
+3rd Stone Music can't wait! :D
It was great live as well. Prospect Park, what a venue.
I first saw them in Prospect Park too!
still fresh--still feels like hearing a fairytale for the first time. love these guys (and Cheryl!)
Great great band! You can clearly hear 60's/70s prog in Frank's kaktus, but yet so original and contemporary...Great!
I was very much reminded of Focus
Taking into consideration all the rock/pop bands I've heard since the 1960s, Dungen are definitely one of my all-time top favorite groups. Somewhere in my top 5.
omg this is such a good birthday present! jag älskar Dungen!
This is pure gold !!! The kind of music my brain loves!
another live KEXP treasure
In my mind; it does not got better than this! I love the joy and love of music expressed. These guys are extremely talented. Thank you for the music! :-)
I love the guitar part on the first song!
Ian Anderson would be proud of that prog + flute combo
Hes still alive u know??
Amazing performance. Dungen is a great band.
Dungen's back on the road! Beautiful.
Reine is such a good good guitarist, one of the best..
so easy to listen to,relaxing and deep, true musicians!
Quality top rock.
1)It's so nice to see them playing, I didn't realize that they utilize a wooden flute.
2) Thank you KEXP for pronoucing thier name because I had been mispronoucing it.
I think the last song is my favorite, although the second and first are really good as well. If fans are allowed to comment then let me say "bravo" and "very nicely done".
Such amazing players, ensemble-wise. Just wonderful. ♫♫
Brilliance at its finest
I finally found this! I have been following Reine Fisk since his time in Landberk, 1994!
Ironically, this is the first top Swedish band I have heard sing in their Swedish language. Most Swedes I have heard speak English better than most Americans.
The Songs are magic 🙌
First song has a bit of cream and hendrix in it.
Love it.
HISTORY : Dungen opend up for the Flint MI American band GRAND FUNK RAILROAD 1975 in at the " Scandinavium Arena " Gouthenburg/ Sweden.
It swings as hell
I love you KEXP!
Drums sound awesome tune up a bit higher like that. Huge vintage vibe
I love this!!
Fantastic performers..Great writing...Awesome european band! Moving..
you mean "Awesome band!", right? :)
Impressed and curious (at the same time). I'll have to look up the records.
Child hood memory from Middle school
Fantastiskt!
totally blew me away
Amazing performance!
Back here in Seattle on August 8th at the Crocodile!
these guys; so great!!!!
reine fiske is 1 musicular wonder! followed him with motorpsycho and they where good before reine but after ! its like magiq
Anyone know what pedals he's using on his keys @4:06? A compressor and MXR phaser?
orange one is an mxr phase 90 or 95
dyna comp and a subdecay super string theory
Thank you!
lovely!
come back Dungen!!!
Tame Impala was influenced by these guys. Kevin from Tame Impala loves these guys.
lol idk why but this comment made me laugh
@@justinr420 yeah I have never hated anything as much as I hated this band but now that Kevin loves them I do too... Lmao
Idgaf
kevin's influences range from groups like cream, led zeppelin or supertramp to air, queens of the stone age and dungen
Never mind Impala, these guys are better
Fan va bra.
this is the best thing
Great band
I think Dungen and Tame Impala are the most creative bands in the modern psychedelic scene...
check Boogarins from Brazil
King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard takes maybe the top step for me
Elder, Colour Haze, All Them Witches, Wooden Shjips, King Gizzard and Ty Segall take it up a notch for me.
watch out for Weird Krishna..coming soon
Plutonium 74 from Finland
so great, but also: Ron Burgundy would approve of this fantastic music :)
First time hearing these guys. Im dig em for sure! But all i can think about is how the bassist looks like half sac on SOA 🤣😎💜
saw them when they opened for tame impala in brooklyn
These guys really remind me of a band caller The Amazing that toured with Tame Impala like 5 years ago.
Same guitar player - probably from the same Stockholm scene aswell.
TIL you can zip-tie snapped off tuning machines and still playing (wonderfully) in tune
This is great! But could you please place the commercial breaks at the start and in the end, rather than in the middle of the song?
id be thankful if anyone could name that pedals on the bass!
I wanna get that flute!
Does anyone know what kind of flute it is
Thats a bansuri, used in classical north indian music
Joakim Westerbring thank you so much!
@@tatsuki103 Check out Hariprasad Chaurasia if your interested. The chief in the genre. Good stuff:)
@@JoakimWesterbring thank you!!
Why does the guitar have plastic straps over the strings?
this is a bit late...but the story is reine (the guitarist) occasionally gets very frustrated when recording, so much so sometimes that he throws the guitar. the first couple times he did that he cracked the neck of the guitar, so when he went to repair it again, he told his repair guy to just add cable ties to the head stock because eventually he’ll be frustrated again, resulting in his guitar cracking, so the ties are a way to prevent that from happening again...
@@captaincoconut4119 heheh tack, då är jag med ;)
LMFAOOOOOOOOOO @@captaincoconut4119

knausgard? The norwegian writer? please elaborate man?
@@christianwiese5512 he writes about listening to Dungen a lot in his autobiography, My Struggle
@@jonasboine5874 I had no idea. That's cool, thanks :)
I like the fläsket brinner reference or is it bo hansson?
Interesting that you mention it, as Gustav Ejstes said in an interview that he was inspired by Bo Hansson and Fläsket Brinner!
Båda ni är ifrån Sverige hahaha cute

Amazing stuff ! Whats the name of that flute on Frank's Cactus ?
Bansuri or Pifano
Roberto Mancini!
lol
was expecting some kind of stoner, doom metal.... but this is some really good stuff :)
Any reason you was expecting that?
PJ The band name mainly. I always associate band names like "dungen" with really bassy doom metal type stuff haha
+95dank haha i think it's pronounced doon gen, but I thought it was going to be black metal so we were in a similar boat.
95dank It means "The grove" in swedish (yes, with one 'o', which are in nature/forest)
What is the guitar Gustav playing?
I think it's an old school Levin guitar. They used to make these in Sweden. You can still get them, but they're made somewhere in Asia now and they're not quite at the same quality as they once were.
Anybody know what kind of flute that is?
poor Reine, his fuzz wasn't working during Frank's Kaktus. :(
zvex fuzz? oh my... i bought one because of Reine...
ÄNTLIGEN
damn.
Wonder what fuzz pedal their electric guitarist is using? So crunchy!
+betojmd He told me his fuzzface is germanium.
+betojmd you can buy clones of the carlin compressor from moodysounds in sweden. Great pedal.
I believe Reine (the guitarist) uses his wahwah a lot to shape the sound as well. And some of his distortion comes from his old klemt echolette tape-echo/amp as well.

+Erik L Just like Zappa used to do with the wah.
+Chromatophone Productions indeed!
In the second song there is an instrumental part that screams Zappa all the way 😃
Ok…from when to when? Compared to which Zap tune(s)??
F me dead. Wow as f.
Does anyone knows which bass is that one?
+pietrofxq it's a Sandberg I think, not sure which model though...
+Geoff Bennett It's Sandberg California model
Thanks guys! I need this bass SO much. But it's too expensive :(
thing is: it's not only the bass. It's also the pedal. And, of course the talent of that guy playing it :)
what are the zipties for ?
Well tell us more about the past " Dungens" history all the way back in the late 60s tour with bands like Meckie Markmen ua-cam.com/video/MSNjMNuqwkA/v-deo.html & bands like Grand Funk Railroad on the US.tour 69-
10:40 ketchup
Can someone brief me on why guitarist seems extra salty?
+Andrew07025 and why is guitar all zip-tied up?! I feel like these guys should be rolling in the cash?! So many questions..
"Ketchup!"
SHOOTOUT TO DRAIN (STEP)DAD
Karl Ove Knausgaard brought me here
Needs a little sax
Needs a little kazoo
They do have a sax on some of their tunes.
Great band, however, the mixing on their albums is not always so good.
Only on the old albums
@@ASMRForYourSoul I like it.
really cool band!!! hope the instruments are not from IKEA
i like how their drummer is really talented yet looks like a beginner
I'm Swedish and I think you might enjoy the band better if you're not:P
+Oskar Lindberg why's that?
Why?
are the lyrics shit?
you mean it sounds more exotic and mysterious?
This band sounds a lot like Luis Alberto Spinetta
Thx Genius
