Huge metal fan but churches always keeps me coming back, amazing musicians
Isnt it weird - something special about Chvrches.
That breakdown during Asking For A Friend was awesome
seems like metalhead love chvrches and i'm no exception. You should try listen to HEALTH if you don't know them, btw they did a remix of a song with lauren it's ashamed it's the 3 min one
I saw "KEXP At Home" and was expecting a zoom call or small room in someone's house... Apparently CHVRCHES has the nicest house I've ever seen. 😹😹😹
Kitchen concert!
In the interview version they put out Chvrches said that they performed this for KEXP after-or-before (i forget which one) a live show they were doing while they had access to the venue
@@andrewt9128 I assumed as much, but I never let pesky things like 'facts' get in the way of a good joke, fren!
At last a room big enough to hold my stuff…plus I just wonder where they got these lights from?
🤣 Australian humour; plus we might just have enough sunlight solar power to operate them here 😜
yep, that's a nice big screen tv.
Robert Smith was asked why he likes CHVRCHES: "Lauren's got such a fabulous voice, obviously ... it's hard to pin down why you like a band. For me, they have it...".
She makes it really easy to fall in love with this band!!
Just gotta take a second here to compliment the audio engineers here. The mixing could not be any more perfect for a live performance and that drum kit sounds AMAZING! Great work!!
I watched two live videos prior to this and this is a hundred times better (one of them was a festival so the acoustics are bad anyway but it was like the engineer fell asleep)
an outdoor festival, I mean
SUPER Performance, FANTASTIC Saund and Music. ...LOVE CHVRCHES FOREVER. ...😀👏🔥❤👌👊
This performance literally brought me to tears. Just incredible. What a great band. This album is the best they've done.
This "Asking For A Friend" opener is so clean.

Merci beaucoup
#hero
Thanks so much. Bless you🙏🏽X
I don't know why this isn't the norm in the actual description, it's always some kind soul like yourself providing timestamps in the comments.
The bass on Final Girl and How Not To Drown is so great!
Lauren's vocal = perfect.
Jeez if this wasn't a "I really fucking need to see them live" moment I don't know what is.
1,000% they deserved a live audience here - they keep getting better. Tremendous performance.
This band is firing on all cylinders, and it's *so good.*
this is their absolute best performance to date. i'm no joke definitely flabbergasted by this
Damn, and WOW , damn good !
This band is my safe space in a crazy world. Forever grateful for the music you create. This is majestic!
Yes, Chvrches are absolutely awesome! Lauren's voice is so unique and beautiful it's hard to describe, she almost reminds me of a "woodland fairy" or something, in the most wonderful way! I've been a fan of theirs since their first album! I would absolutely LOVE to see them live sometime soon!... (Espec. now that things are beginning to get back to a more "normal" state of existence again, since the pandemic is beginning to subside somewhat, finally!)
And (sorta, kinda, somewhat) similar to them, (if you don't already also know of the following), you might also like Echosmith and Purity Ring. They are also very positive energy, uplifting, and inspiring bands with great female leads!
Also if you additionally like more of an EDM style at all, then you surely already know about Illenium, Gryffin, and LSDream. If not, you might check them all out too.
There's just SO MUCH really amazing music out there now, and I always love to discover new stuff I've never heard before, and I also enjoy sharing the knowledge of it with anyone that may be open to discovering new (to them) stuff too.
Enjoy the listening... ALWAYS! 😊
100%
Absolutely same. I love them so much even tho I never had the chance to see them live because they've never been in South America
SAME!
I know, right? As if they created a whole different world with their music. I could only hope to see them live sometime
her voice is so amazing❤️
Final Girl is such a banger. How does each album get better than their last
Probably the best Chvrches live video I've ever seen. Both the recording and performance are flawless.
I keep coming back to hear Lauren sing 'Violent Delights'. What an awesome song, topped by her brilliant voice... 😍
Its a tie for that and Final Girl on my end
Yes! Lauren belts in out like nothing else!! But the guitar!!! Playing the line you'd think is a synth until you realise it's a heavily processed axe! ..and the bass in high register "Hooky" style which actually sounds like a guitar. Then the drum work. Total dynamite! Surprisingly little is on backing track here. Little more than a bass drone and a quiet sampled back beat which you only really hear in the verses. This band know how to execute and deliver!
The drummer makes a gret job!!
19:27 The drum beat for Violent Delights is off the chain, Hits so hard, gives me chills, and Ms. Mayberry's voice, omg.
I love how Lauren just keeps getting better and better with each performance
Chvrches easily have a catalogue that is festival headline worthy
Love how intense her vocals get in the second verse/second chorus of California. What a song.
Final Girl: Gosh... live is even better than studio... what a voice... so much talent... love the lyrics, love the bass line...
This whole album slaps. They are fantastic live.
I watched her ealier performances and how subdued she was, and then this, which is liberation and beauty and intensity. One of my favorite vocalists ever.
the best CHVRCHES show I have ever seen. The sound is amazing. So clean vocals, wow! Rewatching for the 20th time for now
Violent Delights.
What a fukin jam !!!!!
I spent 5 months not knowing this live performance existed.. This is definitely Chvrches at their best..
I really love how they went from being a great synth-pop band to an amazing rock band as the years went by. Constantly evolving and improving. My hat's off.
Great band! What are some of their early synth based songs (Im not familiar)?
Ok found an NPR Tiny Desk and another KEXP that is all synth. Quite a difference.
@@michaelwarren824 All their songs are built around synths and programmed drums, but I think their recent album is the first time they've toured with a full band.
@@bradspitt3896 From their Love is Dead tour is a full band.
@@michaelwarren824 "The Bones of What you Believe".
They put down their Maschines and picked up their guitars without missing a beat. This is excellent. Lauren is special.
Synths are still there but yeah, amazing how they balance it out. She's my absolute favorite 💗
Those "Peter Hookish" bass lines on Violent Delights, man 🤯
Man. Lauren is fierce AF! This was such a great performance by them!
They deserve more views and more recognition. This set is absolutely amazing. I can't stop listening to this concert. ❤️
This sounds so good I’d think it was a studio recording. Absolutely amazing
I am so captivated by Chvrches, and this LIVE just help me to get into another dimension.
oh my god. lauren has improved so so much !! she's always had this brilliant voice, but it sounds so much stronger live now-- ALMOST HEAVENLY!! is it even possible for chvrches to get better and better ?????
Agree! 🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🥰
This is the best live version of Final Girl I've heard / seen so far of all their recent live performance videos.
Quality sound its on point. Her voice along with the instruments... masterpiece
Second that…
I can totally hear Duran Duran here. Love it!
I honestly didn’t like the official studio version of this song but hearing this made me feel like i never heard this song before. Live over studio with this one.
Yes. The live version is insane. At 13:00 I feel like I’m going up hill slowly on a rollercoaster.
I discovered Chvrches a few days ago and I can't stop listening. I don't know how I missed them until now, but better late than never!
Yeah, that's awesome! If you haven't already, you should def. check out all of their older stuff too, as every single album that they've ever put out is just absolutely amazing and beautiful!
@@JoeJ-8282 Absolutely. I've had their whole collection on shuffle for a week now. They're so great.
Same thing happened to me in November, man. Absolutely captivating.
Yeah I was the same - discovered "Mother We Share" a few years ago and have followed them since. Always find it amazing how many varied compilations(live, radio, studio etc) of each song there are and how different they sound - very like Wolf Alice in that respect. 🙂
I felt exactly the same when I first heard Here With Me back in 2019. I haven't been able to stop listening ever since. My closest friend got me a pair of tickets for Christmas and in 13 days on 18th March I get to see them in concert for the 1st time!!! I'm bursting and can't wait!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
What a great set, everything is perfection.
Excellent live band... Lauren's voice has gotten a lot stronger with the years... what attracted me at first was they were a synth based band, now they have evolved into guitar, bass and drums with a bit of keyboards like most others but I still like their songs... and their live show is a must for any who haven't yet seen them.
Great band! What are some of their early synth based songs (Im not familiar)?
Ok found an NPR Tiny Desk and another KEXP that is all synth. Quite a difference.
Going to see them in June. Very excited.
@@michaelwarren824 check out the song Science/Visions from their first album, it's like Darkwave
@@MJ-vd8bj Thanks, will go do so!
Screen Violence was my album of the summer! Full of bops and groovy synths. Awesome to hear some of it "live"
Album of the Year for me! Cheers
I love Lauren’s full range of her voice! Any song she goes higher and risks that tone! It’s always so beautiful! Like a trance in her tone too!
I love when Lauren moves her hands when she does her amazing little runs. It's just lovely
I love the hand movements too❤
I think is incredible when a band feel proud for their new music. They transmit this geniune love for screen violence🖤
I forgot how good they are.
Man, "Violent Delights" sounds fucking great with the live drums.
I started listening to CHVRCHES in late 2012 and I'm so happy I've had them in my life since. Next month, I will travel to see them live for the tenth time. Can't wait. "Asking For A Friend" and "How Not To Drown" are absolute bangers!
tenth time XD u beast
@@selekcjaosci8124 Well, it's almost been 8 years since the first time I saw them, so there have been plenty of opportunities.
They have been around that long?
@@gothard5 yes they are, ive been a fans since i heard their song 'We Sink' from FIFA 14
@@gothard5 Yes! 4 records... and ´The Bones of What You Believe...´.
One more thing, Lauren's voice can't be questioned.
They sound great!! Excellent performance. Go CHVRCHES
Chvrches makes music to make you want to dance like a loon while it breaks your heart. I love it so much but it gives me the sads so bad. It evokes a kind of nostalgia with their synthpop, for a period in my life that was so painful I'd never want to go there again.
Beast of a performance. And the KEXP mix is so smooth!
I think out of all the songs off Screen Violence, Violent Delights is the best song live. Hearing all the instruments live really elevates the feeling of the song, and the visuals are phenomenal for it (HNTD’s is great too).
100% agreed
This is pure nostalgia. CHVRCHES and KEXP again…
I absolutely love your voice, Lauren. The whole band performance is spotless.
Brilliant performance
The magic this band casts over me when they play and sing is supernatural. I love Chvrches so much! Their sound just flicks on the switch in the brain.
completely agree… great comment
Lauren Mayberry’s voice is so mesmerizing. Such a good voice
Her recorded voice you mean.
Witnessing "Asking for Friend" performed live had a profound impact me on listening to a live piece of art. This was captured a little bit of that when i saw it... but seriously though you guys need to see that song performed live.
The drumming on Violent Delights is absolutely incredible, really takes the song to another level imo!
The mix of the old school Vistalite and electronic is soooo cool and visually looks amazing!!
God I loved this so soo sooo much. Probably heard it over 1000 time, Still I'll listen it till the day I die ❤
This band is soooo incredibly good, her voice is perfect and capable, the guys are both proficient at synths, etc and bass and guitar and do them both simultaneously and to top it off the light show is awesome, can't wait to see them in Raleigh NC on June 2nd.
The evolution of this group continues and we're here for it. Thank you to everyone involved for pulling this off!
Absolute gem of a performance. So refreshing to have this intimate experience. KEXP always puts out the best experiences whether in studio or at home.
❤😊California 😮 glad I was born & raised there but eventually moved away 🌊 is important but the high cost is utterly outrageous now 😢 it's my favorite song of this set of course 🕺
Asking for a friend live is absolutely amazing! A truly anthem! I could sing along the final part forever ("Home, can we go? Can we go? Can we go?)!
F***! That voice is so powerful! When she’s looking at the camera during How Not to Drown was really cool. You guys definitely got the message across in being a fantastic band, you’re badass, and you got yourselves a new fan
I just keep looping this short concert over and over.... I just love the energy, her specially but the drummer is crazy good. Too bad they didn't perform some more. They also sound so much better in smaller venues than in big open places, feels so intimate like this....
They're touring right now! Just saw them in a venue probably even smaller than the set here too. Still happens! 🙂
This is absolutely fantastic. They seem to really have found their stride with the new music. Hands down the best live performance I've seen.
Incredible. So good to hear CHVRCHES live.🔥✨
How come I now have just come across this band? Oh my. What a gem I have been missing out on. Thank you. Cheers !!
You may try the Love Is Dead Tour at St Paul to see other crazy songs of theirs ^^ czcams.com/video/dhrX1JbndxQ/video.html
Her voice is so powerful ✨
Final girl from this set and Over in São Paulo are the best live recordings I’ve seen yet from Chvrches. Amazing!
I fсkn cry every time I watch it full, incredible how they can touch every single string in me
Same!
Pure magic, many thanks to all of you
My safe place too. Have been listening to CHVRCHES from the beginning. All is soothing for the mind and soul....
I remember when Lauren was self-conscious about her voice, she was talking with Haley from Paramore and felt humbled if I remember correctly. She's come a long way. She was good on the first album but you can tell she's got a lot more control and showmanship now. These guys put their hours in. Didn't know they started playing with a real kit either.
Restoring my faith in the marriage of electronic pop & indie rock. The voice of an emotionally expressive, angstful girl is a powerful force 👍
This is absolutely incredible. Her stage presence has evolved so much, it’s so nice to see how much more comfortable she has become on stage. The live version of these songs have me awe struck.
seeing *CHVRCHES* live at a day show would be fun fun fun
They are so good! ❤️
Great performance. Love them so much and Lauren is so darn cute!
She barely aging as well
Lauren is truly like wine - she keeps getting better and better. Incredibly cute with pitch perfect voice, in combination with the other members of the band - simply irresistible. Waiting for European tour someday :)
@@BobGuido It truly might be lip synching in this performance, but watch the other live performances, she's really up to the task even when she's singing live.
@@SynapseMK If she's up to the task, then she should really perform, otherwise it's a strike against her professionalism. If you're going to have Robert Smith's support, best not to fake it because losing his support will have a greater impact than winning his support. Robert can't stand posers or people who pass themselves off as great and then take the advice of bad management because they're lazy.
Just became a fan this week. Literally overnight. Where have i been for the past decade?
Those words and the way you sing them, help and shine a way thru back to better true
Cab we just appreciate 'I'm writing a book on how to stay conscious when you drown'. That's just so clever, every time I hear it I'm like wow
F it I'm putting that in my bio
She’s always been at her best with her singing, no doubt about it her voice says it all.
This band deserves to be first on any charts!!! This is pure beauty!!
Listen, everybody, these are the perfect songs of modern times. ...LOVE CHVRCHES. ...😀😴👌💖
It is the first time that I listen to Chvrches, I am pleasantly impressed. It is a band with a quite peculiar style, a combination of harmony and talent. Lauren Mayberry is an exceptional vocalist.
About a year ago, I discovered Chvrches by accident . My partner was playing random music lists on CZcams and suddenly the video for "Gun" came on. I was about to leave the house and I'm like "Whoa, what is this???" I mean seriously LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT and I can't say that about a single other band that got started in the past decade!
I love reading comments like this! Chvrches is one of a kind. From the lyrics to arrangement and their advocacies
@@titatita3896 YES! Their sound is simply sublime
I kept hearing them popup in my CZcams playlist and wanted more after I heard "how not to drown". Just discovered their live vids this year and wow!!!🥹🥹🥹🥰🥰🤔🤔
Lauren has the most clean and youthful voice ever, but also has the required power to stay on top of the band’s sound.
That's a really good description. I have trouble describing the quality of her voice that I like so much.
How does such a powerful voice come from that? Wow.
Got to see them live, performing the same songs - absolutely incredible! Keep 'em coming Chvrches! Her vocals are soooooo incredible now - a good mix also helps. Bravo!
Reliving all 3 of their Austin, TX shows I went to in 2021. Their music has helped me through so so so much over the years. So grateful for this amazing band.
I hope to see Chvrches live someday.
THAT VIOLENT DELIGHTS IS KILLER!
Ugh thank you KEXP and CHVRCHES
Lumineers and now Chvrches. Keep it up KEXP bring it back to 2010!
This could be their greatest performance ever...
