OMG that drummer is a BEAST!! Super happy that OH introduced me to this awesome band. Would love to see more bands from across world like this in this studio ❤️ So damn cool.

OHL, you are doing a real service by exposing me to totally rad stuff like this. Thank you

I was hoping to see a date in California but no dice :( Definitely looking forward to them stopping by!

[@MadameDex]

Seeing him this Friday night. Cannot believe he's coming to my hometown and cannot wait to see him!

[@dom9641]

this ripped so hard, mdou moctar is a hell of an artist
y'all gotta continue to get big psych groups and larger bands in general and do these pre-taped and mixed live sessions more often, it really paid off!

[@HFY-SpaceOperaX]

The fury of the Storm

[@chrisjt86]

Thanks, Tim Heidecker, for shouting these guys out and exposing me to them!

[@thefutureisnow8767]

Much, much better than Tinariwen. Thanks.

[@RebelTiger7]

Mdou Moctar ROCKS!🖤🔥Can't wait to see them play in Arizona!

[@CRunchbitegod]

Saw these guys live in maybe 2018 or 2019, at Page Turners in Omaha, place was packed, for sure over capacity (I might’ve had to bargain my way in), it was so sick. So is this!

[@ili626]

Thank you OH people.. love this band

[@Aspartamebraintumor]

[@maskedman1337]

Saw this crew at the Austin Psych Fest a decade ago--so glad they're getting more attention!

Thanks for the full upload, I’ve loved this band for years

[@raven_g6667]

This was an experience

[@ThommyofThenn]

Love that imagerhan song and the drums, some fun time signatures there but especially the finger picking on the electric. You don't see enough proficient finger players these days.

[@tofurkys]

[@user-dy9dd4os7m]

Grazie mdou moctar

[@ThommyofThenn]

[@joellamkins7847]

I love 💕 it. After seeing this, I went and watched and listened to a bunch of their stuff and loved every bit of it.😀

[@joellamkins7847]

That pan in on the painting of Dr. Steve B. Accompanied by this sweet music was phenomenal!

[@joellamkins7847]

And that beautiful picture of Rosie 🌹

[@joellamkins7847]

I meant Vic and Rosie. Sorry Vic, I meant no disrespect towards you. I love you Vic ❤️.
