Always wanted to know what it’s like to watch Diarrhea Planet play without a pesky, beer-hoisting, fist-pumping, stage-diving crowd getting in the way? Well then check out this 23-minute clip of the band performing live on Seattle’s KEXP. Marvel at how ridiculously fucking tight they are. Especially considering how keeping four guitars in tune, let alone in time, with each other is an impressive feat unto itself.
Also courtesy of KEXP: Here’s a trio of clips featuring recent Diarrhea Planet tourmates Those Darlins playing a stripped-down, acoustic mini-set at Portland, Ore.’s Pickathon alt-folk festival last month. Start off with a lazy-river, deadpan version of The Crystals classic “Then He Kissed Me” (above), then enjoy similarly earthy takes on the Blur the Line gems “Too Slow” and “Ain’t Afraid” (below).
