@theneedledrop I have wondered for over a decade what this comment means. I'm the bassist here in this here video right over here. Please save me from this ambiguous hell
thank you so much!! i love the fact that a song we wrote when we were in high school is still being enjoyed by people i've never even met over a decade later. have a great day/night/whatever! - brian (bass)
@@LUSCIOUSDUNCANI really wish you had stayed. This style of bass playing is super rare even in math rock of all genres. When I had first heard this bass line I was so excited. I learned it immediately. This album is still super influential in my playing. I still credit you any time influences come up.
i love how happy these guys look while they play. they genuinely enjoy playing music and it makes it that much more enjoyable to listen and watch. keep it up dudes
Sometimes UA-cam pisses me off, and sometimes UA-cam seems to know I'm having a bad day and says "Here, watch this!" I'm so glad to see be able to still enjoy older uploads like this.
@iamthelazerviking Oh awesome!! It makes me so happy when people recognize me from my other work. Check out the Blade movies if you haven't. I star in those as well. OH. I also had a show on comedy central for a little while called the Chappelle show. My personal favorite is my role in Trading places. Working with Dan Aykroyd was life changing.
im going to have to say all three of you are extremely talented and awesome musicians, your music sounds original, artistic, spontaneous, yet coordinated to perfection. THIS music makes me so fudgin happy. THANKKK U
@@jasonsnightmaremall4666 wait how tho...? im the bassist from the para-medics / LD from sooper swag, curious to know how you went from death grips to us! it's always interesting hearing how people found out about our music :^)
@@Levi-nu5gn holy shit dude LOL if that is true that might be my favorite little ~connection~ to a more widely-known group. JD's ragged on DG pretty hard and I've sent a shot or two their way too so I can't imagine their response was very positive coming from them hahahahaha oooooooooops
If anyone has one of the vinyls produced by these guys and is willing to sell it I would drive across the country just to pick it up if need be. I honestly wish they’d stayed together.
i hate to break it to ya, but unfortunately while a vinyl release of Patsy Cline Gun Squid was indeed _planned_ it never ended up actually getting _pressed._ it's vaporware. Er--vapor...wave? vaporithmetic...? anyway i really appreciate the enthusiasm. when i left the band (brian - bass) it wasn't like an active "choice" by any of us per se, it just so happened that i was honestly just running out of things to say on the bass, man. dylan and nnamdi had been writing some new material on their own and when they showed it to me at practice I was simultaneously really impressed and sad. It was super super good--they were both listening to a lot of the album Blue by Capsule at the time--but it wasn't something that I knew how to write a bassline over. so i left before i ended up tarnishing our track record by writing some lackluster material. btw you may not be privy to this (it was pretty under-the-radar when it happened) but after I left Dylan and Nnamdi ended up reforming the band and added the bassist and one of the guitarists from Loose Lips Sink Ships, a local math-rock quintet that all three of us loved and were really good friends with. they released a single EP called DOGGY TREATS that's only on bandcamp. give it a google. they didn't stay together as a 4-piece for very long but they did play a ton of shows right before disbanding again. no pun intended. ok luv u bye!!!!! brian
It was certainly a fun time and I miss it dearly. I'm dumb for leaving the band but at the same time I was out of ideas and you know, "better to burn out...," that whole thing
This is the first video on youtube I have ever liked, I have had over 20,000 video plays and probably watched even more but you are some of the realist bros I've ever seen play music. If you ever tour america I will help you fund your trip and if you could play in pittsburgh, pennsylvania it would mean the world to me, I would spend a whole pay check to make that happen
HEY GOONS. We have a record label. You can check out an unreleased song and hear our friends bands at swerprecords dottt commm Also we will hopefully be writing in the near future. Thank you for listening! 8)
Comparing these to Tera Melos is like comparing a Christian to a Muslim, similar basic ideas but the end result is incredibly different. If you can't hear that then I just plain and simply feel sorry for you, I can't imagine what it's like to have genuine shit between your ears. You guys are great, it's awesome that you take the time to reply to fans and stuff as well, looking forward to hearing more music soon.
it be awesome if you had a cameo in aqua something or whatever and you were carls favorite band but then at the end of the show he listened to you so much his ears explode and out comes the leeches
not really sorry. i've thought about it. trust me, if i had stayed in the para-medics you'd hate me by now. i was out of ideas. better i got out while people knew us for the grand total of five songs we wrote in our four years as a band than stay and struggle to write shit that just fell on its face - ld
ffwoodycooks I agree with buttcustard. Also, your drummer was raw but tasteful. Usually with mathy stuff it's balls out with little dynamics. You guys had something good. Hope you find another group of dudes who are as musically competent as you.
There's something about bands with really fucking insane tempo changes and weird arrangements, like these guys, that just doesn't hold my attention after a while. There's a lot here that reminds me of why I listen to bands like Maps And Atlases and Toe so much, but it's missing that essential component. I don't know how to phrase it. It feels like they "don't stick the landing." Like, they get me into it, then move past it and never look back, and I'm left waiting for the full circle that ties it all together. I hope it's just me (apparently plenty of people seem to like it), cause personally it feels like they're not following a fundamental rule for good music. Maybe I just got my hopes way up and picked the wrong video to follow up Piglet nostalgia.
i think it's more for them. as a musician playing safer music can be really boring. and for some people, they've heard it all. they want something frenetic. they want something to tease their brain. they want something that reveals layers upon repeated listens. but ultimately, i think it's music made for the musicians that play it.
"fundamental rule for good music" .....and thats where you fucked up There's beauty in complexity, this is something that takes multiple listens to thoroughly enjoy
***** Tree swallows houses is fucking awesome. You me and the mountain is precisely just as good. They were so fucking great I had to tell my friend, and he quickly let me know that they had a reputation for being an insufferable, predictably "hipster" band. I dared to call him on his shit and that's when I found out about Perch patchwork, simultaneously making me look like an idiot. I find myself more and more confused as to what exactly the "hipster" label means, doubting its value as a criticism, but it does seem to be increasingly synonymous with "shitty". And Perch patchwork is absolutely shitty. And I hate that I find myself speechless when defending a band I respect so goddamn much.
fLanKeD Having an opinion about music like this isn't really what I consider fucking up. Yes, factually, bands that play like this have a knack for a certain beautiful complexity. Factually, it takes a lot of talent to play and compose such music. Factually, there are plenty of folks who appreciate it like crazy and come back for more. I can't deny how amazed I've been by acts like Hella or The Locust and I will make time to listen to that. I guess I didn't make it clear that when I say "fundamental rule", I meant on a personal level. I also didn't mean that this subjective "rule" is the line I draw for appreciating music on that same level. My point is that I love the complicated nature of only most of it, due to the fact that I'm uneducated and easily distracted and tend to wander away after a while. Sometimes I want to listen to something that can put a smile on my face the FIRST time I listen to it, while being sufficiently complex. And there is so much out there that excels at exactly those two things. In MY OPINION, that is "fundamentally good" music. Unfortunately, I couldn't possibly make you understand why I consider it so "fundamentally good." Again, I don't think that's a fuck up.
Can I just say that I'm extremely happy that there is finally some solid arguing going on on this video of a song written by 3 highschoolers played in their friends living room.

Mathony mathtano!
What .... review the super swag project

Why does the bassist look like he would be a famous youtuber
He is a famous UA-camr. look up Luscious Duncan
that's a super fuckin nice thing thanks man.

this is seriously the best stuff I came across for a very long time...
These guys are quirky and awesome and I love it.
love the drummer & guitarist!
THE WHOLE BAND IS AWESOME
I would kill to see a para-medics show. Must have been nice
It was certainly a fun time and I miss it dearly. I'm dumb for leaving the band but at the same time I was out of ideas and you know, "better to burn out...," that whole thing
Why am I just hearing this for the first time ever? Fantastic musicianship
you should freestyle over it and post it.
saw these guys about a year ago. crazy trio. makes me want to practice guitar everyday. =(

Just saw this for the first time today.... wow.
Please come to Atlanta where I live to play a show, terminal west is a good spot.
this is fucking awesome
At 4:43 someone was actually that amazed he had to sneeze instead of clap.
Nnamdi, (Mickey from El Paso here,) I had no idea! You sound amazing. Keep it up!!!
dude this is awesome, specially like the drumming and the bassist.
Make more of this or more Sooper swag project - album 3 has to be ready.
This is music at, I think, it's finest.
Really good, I like the timing a lot. hope to hear more.
This is some goooodddd stufff.
This bassist is my new hero.
This is fantastic.
grandi muli e grande nnamdy! vogliamo musica bella nuova in tutto il mondo

The drummer play in monobody too?
Cool I just got here randomly... loved the song
What a mythical find
何回見ても半端じゃないな

That bass player should get a Chapman Stick. Nice work guys, keep it up.
Word. Thank you very much dude.
Whoa where has this been hiding from me

This song...... IS AWESOME!
