Wow, their tech guy is legit! These "behind the scenes" type of videos are excellent, just like the In The Studio series. Loving the content FM Mag, keep up the great work! Now I can't wait to see Chvrches live in NYC this May!

[@DJBENVERA]

yeah more interviews with stage techs please :)

In their "Live in KEXP" video you can see the Mk2 fail in the middle of the song Recover (minute 14).

Look at all those lights and buttons. I have no understanding of the tech but I love their music. This is a very interesting video. Thanks.

[@breslin44]

Very interesting indeed. That Ben fella knows his stuff

[@julienvoirin1757]

great report, technical explanations are very interesting

[@berringervids]

Awesome guys! Wish I could see them close to my hometown soon!!!
On a sidenote, try to compare them with Cazzette! lol, not possible! (Chvrches being musicians an all :P)

[@jakebutler1095]

Damn this is complicated.

[@MikeeHollMartz]

Nice! Amazing band! :)

[@haraldobst7880]

Very interesting! ✌

[@josephtorsney636]

You should get there actual live shows on videos that would be interesting watching them live.

I love this group. I wish I could work like this. Unfortunately, I don't have piles of money lying around. I enjoyed the trash talk about NI's Maschine mk2. I've heard nothing but nightmare stories about that thing. Just gimme a cheapo Alesis and I'm happy :)

gloriousss god save Chvrchessss

[@Spasmomen]

Well, wondering what went wrong on Pukkelpop yesterday...

[@djr_drums]

Teach me, Ben!

[@sestanislao]

I like Martin's box is labeled as "Dok"

[@mohitrahaman]

Dork

[@DuffyLONER64]

It's probably Dok; his Instagram account name is @realdoko, while his Twitter is @doksan.

I could swear this video has had a piece edited out and then re-uploaded.
- - -
Martin says - about glitching synths - “we don’t want them getting funky on us”.
Iain chips in, jokingly: “No. We’re not funky.” (Meaning musically) and grins at him.
(They both laugh).

In the interests of my sanity, if any fan of the band finds the correct vid for that quote, please link to it here. I will be eternally grateful. (If spared).

9:05 'on the A computer you have a sine wave' - coming out where? Generated by what? Does the B system run concurrently with the A system as the show plays through?

[@andrewvincent5472]

No weed was involved..
