Glad Elephant Gym is getting to play on KEXP such an amazing band with great talent.

[@karenshieh5779]

Kaohsiung🧡 +1
proud of elephant gym ❤

[@stephanietrembath6412]

我愛台灣❤

[@elian1046]

我愛大象體操

[@nemo89740]

大象體操永遠會是台灣之光！

[@ZhaoHuiWeng]

As a person from Kaohsiung, I think Elephant Gym is definitely the pride of Kaohsiung.👍

[@marrzcapanang]

Agree. We met beautiful souls in Kaohsiung, such a wonderful place to experience - art, kindness and humility from everyone ~

[@MasonzeroDigitalWorks]

I've been following this band for a while and even though I don't usually like math rock or jazz all that much, they bring a specific sound and energy that I love so much. Great band!

[@robertocastillo_multimedia]

Exactly!!!

[@twosteptolampslight4797]

You’re missing out on a lot of great jazz and math rock

[@deltamatrix124]

Yup. So many great and underrated asian math rock bands

[@user-uq5nt6cw6v]

It's a unique and great band.

[@jayfrelink2930]

My absolute favourite band. Saw them in Amsterdam just tonight and they killed. Such a privilege to be able to see them on here 💕

[@mabumarnauen7318]

same bro that was insane

[@stephanietrembath6412]

Love from Australia ! Love you Taiwan 🇹🇼

[@meowcula]

such refreshingly original compositions, and a unique energy... I actually forgot about this band for a number of years. Happy to have a reminder. Time to catch up on all their releases.

[@Allispointless]

Just left their gig in Lisbon. OMG I am completely enamored with Elephant Gym. KT is easily one of the most revolutionary bassists composing today, she has in fact inspired me to learn the bass and I hope that one day I will be able to play with a sensitivity akin to hers. Of course her talent is heightened by that of her band mates. Tell has such nuanced understanding of melody and harmonization and Tu could keep perfect swinged time while the world crumbled around him. I am in awe and feel so privileged for having met them.

[@Dougal-Mcguire]

Much love from carlisle.
Was a honour to play with you guys last night at the brickyard.
Your music was mesmerising 💜💚💜

[@John-gb7ht]

Refreshingly new musicality!! Bassist is killing it and that snare drum........Wow!!

[@lupiniiiphd]

Hong Konger in support of Elephant Gym.

[@EagleonWire]

Absolutely loving the fresh musicality here! The bassist is dominating, and that snare drum? Pure magic!

[@cameronpratt6164]

Super unique sound for a band. Saw them in Tokyo in early 2024 and it was one of the most incredible shows.

[@wendelynmusic]

There was this prog band in the 70's called National Health. They were awesome and even had a flute player as well. This band reminds of them in the way they put the songs together, similar song structure. National Heatlh also had an english folk music element and this band is more jazzy. All this to say I am loving Elephant Gym. Wish I'd heard of them earlier. what a joy

[@Gabor...hachi.juu_ichi]

They are truly truly special, as artists and as human beings. A must see live!

[@bramteunissen1841]

They were insanely good in Amsterdam, great to see them on KEXP too

[@Curry.N]

Just saw them 2 nights ago in Jakara, Indonesia - truly a magnificent gig!

[@aaronedgeart]

This wild range of genres and style is bonkers. Amazing talent.

[@jaivkoltun4948]

Wow, these guys are so fresh and alive. . . Pure curious joy. . . What a gem of a find. . . Blessings. . .

[@hernanmojica9953]

this is near to pure perfection, they have music complex style combined with good melody and equilibrant feelings.

[@monarch0126]

I am glad to live with elephant gym in this world.

[@kosmikBN]

This was mind-blowing

[@LoopORama]

Amazing as always!!!

[@maxblair3317]

I've liked a few of their songs on Spotify but never really had a deep dive into their music. Clicked on this and holy cow, what a fun band! The guitar is so deliberate and tasteful, the bass is really nimble and solid and the drumming is so fun and dynamic. Really proud to be part of that worldwide audience that the drummer mentioned 🙂

[@whobian123]
