Mac stopped by a Mexican restaurant in my town while he and his gf were on their way to move to LA. it was weird and random (I live in a super small town) but I got to talk to him. He is seriously the coolest, most genuine dude. the way he treats people makes his music all the better.
My first real exposure to him was seeing him on an episode of Hot Ones (that show where they eat increasingly hotter chicken wings and answer crazy questions). I had only heard a few of his songs before that , and I didn't dig 'em that much. I've been watching interviews with him lately, and after seeing what a nice, chill dude he is, I've been checking his music out more, and he's growing on me. Funny how that works.
It's crazy how they can stand singing the same songs over-and-over again for years and still have a smile on their faces at the end of the day. God Bless.
When I first listened to Salad Days, I was on my computer playing a game while the whole album played in the background and when Chamber of Reflection came I was like "Whoa that sounds so blissful and cool..." And then I learned the song on bass the next day.
Its gonna be a decade since this amazing performance was posted on youtube, it aged well. I watched in 2015 and I can say it stills amazing. Man, has been a decade, im still being a big mac demarco's fan and i just have to thank this man for such an amazing music ❤.
these guys have the best fuckin time in the world every time they play, and it makes seeing them so much more fun. they set up AND break down their own stage, and don't take themselves too seriously up there. always feels like a small, DIY set and I love em for it
KEXP is such a cool radio project. It is great that they consistently invite great bands to play live and have pertinent interviews. The interviews are always to the point, with great mood and all.
Mac's burst into laughter when Andy starts shredding is so hilarious, started screaming and laughing myself when I first watched this. :D Love Andy's transformation over the time he joined, developing under Mac's wing from a cute insecure looking love child, into a surf god riff warrior!
Ah, this was immensely wonderful. They all appear to be a bunch of guys you'd meet strolling down the beach on a sunny afternoon, and all very much talented. I'd love to jam with them any day~
People always ask me why I idolize Mac so much. Apart from his great music & lyrics, I really love his personality. He's such a sweet & chill guy. He's just who he is & doesn't care if people like or dislike him. He's just a happy guy who does his own thing & respects others. He doesn't say he's the best or anything, he's really humble. That's what makes him so great! I hope to meet him one day & just talk about anything. Soon hopefully!
Mac Demarco's music seems to simple and no different from many other indie artists, but there is something in his voice and the quality of the music that makes it stand out and elevate it above the others.
Roy Wade I know right, the guitar solo in let her go at 5:15 is so fucking good. I heard Mac live in London a couple months ago and when that part played I lost my shit.
Dad gom it. When I first heard these solos I thought they were so out of place, but after listening to this another 50 times I realize it's perfect. Andy is a genius.

I am completely and utterly jealous of this experience.
since when did he move to l.a.

Colin A same thing happened to me
I met him and Pierce too and they're so down to earth and cool people. They remind me of my friends and not some fuckin rock stars or something. haha
That bass player is the most Canadian looking guy I've ever seen lol
Loooooooool hahahahahahahaha

ahahahahahahah
stupid guy
HAHAHA

Anybody knows what is the mac's watch model?
It's crazy how they can stand singing the same songs over-and-over again for years and still have a smile on their faces at the end of the day. God Bless.
I hope he doesn't end up hating salad days
I agree, but if you think this is bad imagine a band like The Who. They've been together for 55 years.
Its cause they are all cooked as fuck
How music is supposed to feel, fun and free. Finally a band that doesn't take their existence so seriously. Just do you!
That last guitar solo was fucking hilarious and beautiful to watch man idek
As a drummer I'll say, it's rare to see a band where the most normal looking dude is the drummer.
you really want to feel special he?! ;-)
Check out Connan Mockasin's drummer
The last time I saw the lead guitarist, Andy, he cut his hair and shaved. He looks better.
Sam Bailey the drummer from king gizzard and the lizard wizard should belong here more
Which one? Erick or Mike?
dude, andy's solos are the best
Alexa Tarriba Marc's reaction
"my god andy"
andy: "there is no god" 😂 😂
Su música refleja todo lo que quiero ser 😳
he just played "how soon is now" by the smiths i guess hahah, and then improvised
@@cheqk019 ruined the set
Man, you just can't hate these guys. They are really in love with what they do.
Dude, Mac is always feeling life. He's tickled by everything, it's awesome
11:40 that shoulder-rythm move
tenes tiempo?
@@punkleeon tengo tiempo again
Andy's solo almost sounds like How Soon Is Now
Kia Doll it is
***** Played incredibly wrong, but yeah it's the same chords
Robbie Broome nah man, thats the right way of playing it. well except the end but look at the way Johnny plays it live man
It's the wrong strumming pattern I'm 90% sure?
Robbie Broome It's the tremolo on the guitar that is a bit quicker. But if he turned down the speed then it would be spot on
When I first listened to Salad Days, I was on my computer playing a game while the whole album played in the background and when Chamber of Reflection came I was like "Whoa that sounds so blissful and cool..." And then I learned the song on bass the next day.
ayoo
Tight
cute
Mac actually did a tutorial on his channel if you want to learn the synth part (even if you don't it's so hilarious it's worth watching)
Devlin Red Crow Your picture is awesome!
Debatably the best era of Mac’s career was from 2012 to 2015.
Absolutely iconic 🙏
This Old Dog is fire tho
Mac's band is the most stereotypical bunch of Canadians I've ever seen
Good people.
😂
Chamber of Reflection was amazing
19:25 the greatest moment in the history of music. that nice solo with the cool distortion and mac's reaction of pure joy
"oh my god andy"
"there is no god"
hahaha spot on andy
Dez Harris It's called modesty. Andy just doesn't want to admit that he is God.
Robby Koz I would never invite you to a dinner party.
BellCurve
Your loss, I make an excellent Gnocchi.
Robby Koz Damn, I love Gnocchi.
Dez Harris Except Mac Demarco is a Christian :p
Pierce McGarry looks like so many guys from the background of photos of my parents parties from the 70's and 80's Alberta.
mine too, haha. the great white north's a good place!
Ohh yeah bahd, same with us Michiganders.
nothin like berta
only certain people understand the alberta lifestyle!
Emily Walsh OMG right... I luv the Double A
fuck this is the first time ive given mac demarco a listen. What have i been doing with my life.
dont feel bad....its mine now lol
i have literally been waiting for mac to come on kexp
I love the drum tone with having a shirt on top. Makes the pop just right! Very In the Court of the Crimson King-esque
Dampening does wonders!
He could have just used E-Rings but alright shirts are cool too
+Caoimhín Ó Laighin Though nobody can beat or match Michael Giles snare tone on ITCOTCK
YEAHHH
And the foam at the bridge of the bass as well!! Going to give that one a try!
I would really like to know how Mac can smoke so much and still sing like an angel.
Mac's delight at Andy's solo will never not fill me with joy.
gosh it's like the best live sesh i've ever heards. it's so perfect
And the funniest
i should've watched them live :|
Its gonna be a decade since this amazing performance was posted on youtube, it aged well. I watched in 2015 and I can say it stills amazing. Man, has been a decade, im still being a big mac demarco's fan and i just have to thank this man for such an amazing music ❤.
soup kitchen trance rock is the technical genre
Andy's solo on let her go was orgasmic
I feel like Mac needs some more relaxation. So much growth for them so fast.
Tom Petersen You can just tell he needs some kind of break.
Mac and his boys are just doing their thing, with a grand total of 0 fucks spent.
I will never get tired of listening to Chamber of Reflection, it literally makes me trip everytime
wish I was a blonde, so I can play in Mac´s band
Just dye your hair blonde.
these guys have the best fuckin time in the world every time they play, and it makes seeing them so much more fun. they set up AND break down their own stage, and don't take themselves too seriously up there. always feels like a small, DIY set and I love em for it
hahahah this is awesome. so excited for the mini album in august
YES! A new mac demarco performance I can listen to while I do homework!
5:49
-Pierce: Oh my god andy
-Andy: There is no god
Andy looks like Matthew McConaughey in Dazed and Confused.
Yep!, you're right!
***** *shirt
Hrca FU Alright Alright Alright
Hrca FU He looks like Metthew in True Detective! :p
Va Le Spot on!
Love how in 'Still Together' he just breaks out into 'How Soon Is Now' by the Smiths.
I thought i was the only one that noticed lol
mac always has that "just woke up in a thrift store's dumpster" look nailed down
KEXP is such a cool radio project. It is great that they consistently invite great bands to play live and have pertinent interviews. The interviews are always to the point, with great mood and all.
@Samuel Powell thanks!
hes the cutest homeless looking person ive ever seen
drummers are underrated

I love how goofy and brilliant and weird Mac is. And the rest of the guys are awesome! I love seeing them live.
2016 an unforgettable era. I wish I could go back.

This video introduced me to our boy Mac. God bless.
so good, excited to see him at pitchfork 2015.
3:03
"how about ANOTHER ONE"
she named the last ep?
Hanns n
Andy looks like Matthew Mcconaughey's super-chill brother.
Exactly! I'd like to think he's the future version of David Wooderson from Dazed and Confused
Andy's guitar tone is PURE GOLD
"good morning Vietnam" got me soo good.
Best version of let her go!
I love these kids! Hope for a new generation of music. Plus how can you not like Duane Allman on guitar and Harry Nilsson on bass.
i wish mac was my weird uncle
I liked that bc I kinda agree but I also want to fuck him so :/
+Ragan Sgambato that's totally fine still
@@ragan9757 but what ab kiki i love her why would u do that to her

This is perfect, Cheryl seems so comfortable interviewing them, plus they are having so much fun, cheers
Mac Just makes me happy
FINALLY, also andy is a hero and a pretty good shredder on that 12 string
Still Together sounds beautiful with the entire band.
Elite video production. Perfect amount of time focusing on each band member, and showing plenty of screentime for all of them.
that guitar tone is fantastic
I'm crying watch this video - most hilarious kexp session ever
"You guys aren't having any fun are you?"
"Not even a lick of it..."
Hahaha
These people look and sound like they are literally about to burst out of happiness, joy and fun.
i love his energy when he performs
I saw Mac tonight, I've never had a show leave me in tears......especially when they played chamber, your music is life changing Mac, never stop
The solo by andy at 18:05 sounds like the smiths how soon is now i think
Sounds very similar
cause it is haha,
Still together a "love song". How Soon Is Now, essentially a song about being lonely and unloved.
dude... it's the macarena lol
Omg yes
you wont find a band thats more true to itself and unique, they love the music they play and it shows when they perform it live.
Mac and his pepperoni squad got the goods.
the vocalizations on chamber of reflection really made my day
he is the human adult swim
zach holloway dude , why is this true 😂😂😂
Growing by the hour, Love just like a flower. Man that's such a sweet lyric. Mac is the man.
I wish we could have the Beatles live on kexp
Well half of them are dead so

Andy that last solo kinda sounds like he's going to start playing "how soon is now" lol
The song together in Spotify es so slow in comparison with this performance, please put this version to in Spotify
I wonder if they make sure each other's hair is messy enough with just the right amount of dirt before they hit the stage
Matt DeMarco opening for the Strokes for this New year's eve 🥰🥰🥰 yesssss
i love how different it sounds to the recorded tracks!! this is amazing
I think I've fallen in love with Andy?? What do I do now?
me2
that dude rips guitar so hard !
Roy Wade I know right, the guitar solo in let her go at 5:15 is so fucking good. I heard Mac live in London a couple months ago and when that part played I lost my shit.
Stop showering, buy a bass at a pawnshop and audition for Mac's band: foot in the door.
Dad gom it. When I first heard these solos I thought they were so out of place, but after listening to this another 50 times I realize it's perfect. Andy is a genius.
5:53 fills me with pure joy everytime
its kind of a privilege to live at the same time of demarco's brilliance (especially in times of quarantine)
andy made the rock and roll hall of fame with that solo!
When Mac talked about passing away it kinda gave me chills. He laughed about it but shit .. Don't die Mac
looks like Mac could be Flea's cousin or something
tooth gap haha
+DJoeLawless ---Wait, that isn't FLEA?
notice the RHCP ref from andy?
FUCK YOURE RIGHT
Flea is tired of playing bass, so he made a side project called "mac demarco."
Thanks for the mind blowing guitar solos🤩
Cheryl you are awesome!
This performance was very cathartic for me. Thank you for existing, Mac.
Wow that end solo with the bit from How soon is now was crazy!
My dad showed me mac three years ago, and i fell in love with the persona they all have. this is good sweet tunez. much love
15:01 is a moment i've been waiting for my whole life
Dude is awesome, can't believe I meet him last week.
