Black Midi
Anyone heard of these guys? Just saw this performance pop up on YouTube and it’s awesome.

Re: Black Midi
Pretty cool.
I'd seen the show advertised and it sounded like something I'd be interested in but now it's sold out. Damn.

Re: Black Midi
Saw them live twice. First time it was a bit boring, second time I knew the songs and it was great. There's a lot of really good stuff all sort of going on at once to create something pretty fresh, as far as 2019 guitar-based rock bands go.

I cordially invite you to fuck right off and let the rest of us talk about music like adults.- dubkitty

Necrobump'd because:

Just watched this and I am speechless.
I think "Raising the bar" is an appropriate definition.
The musicianship, the songwriting, the sounds, the dynamics.
Incredible

Re: Black Midi
Yeah I watched this last night and had a similar reaction.
I wasn't fond of their live stuff until now, it all seemed a bit sloppy to me, but fuck they've gotten good.
'Hogwash' and 'Dethroned' in particular I really love.
London scene seems pretty exciting right now? These guys, Black Country New Road, Squid, a bunch of others. Avant rock zoomers everywhere, I love it.

Apparently in december they'll be playing a show really close to where i live. We'll see how pandemic things evolve by then, but if they do it, i'll be there.
