Xiu Xiu plays the music of David Lynch's Twin Peaks

- In 2015 the Australian Cinémathèque, GOMA commissioned Xiu Xiu to reinterpret the music of TV series 'Twin Peaks'. Compositions and songs by composer Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch were given a startling makeover and presented in two sell-out performances. The music has since been presented throughout Europe, Russia and the United States, and at Lynch's own Festival of Disruption.
Led by Jamie Stewart, Angela Seo and Shayna Dunkelman, the music of Xiu Xiu defies simple description. It's a mix of post punk and synth pop, classical and experimental styles, full of brutality and emotional depth. Xiu Xiu's performance isn't simply a recreation of the 'Twin Peaks' soundtrack, but provides an entirely new interpretation that emphasises its chaos, drama, fear, noise and sidelong leering glances.
This performance at GOMA was the last chance to see Xiu Xiu perform this special suite of music.
Performance commissioned for ‘David Lynch: Between Two Worlds’ at the Gallery of Modern Art, (GOMA) 14 March - 7 June 2015. Recorded Saturday 18 April 2015 at the Gallery's Australian Cinémathèque. This video includes performances of 'The Pink Rom/Blue Frank', 'Sycamore Trees' and 'Packard's Vibration'. All written by David Lynch (lyrics) and Angelo Badalamenti (music).
Shayna Dunkelman: vibraphone, drum set, keyboard
Angela Seo: synth, percussion, noise
Jamie Stewart: vox, guitar, synth and noise
DELVE DEEPER

Jamie's guitar tone here sounds really good ngl, the whole band was on point here tbh. Would love to see the whole concert
yes amazing i love this
Glad this performance inspired honesty for you. Ngl
Shoe shoe girls and the insane sweat man.
@Jakey Bone lol xiu xiu fans are great at defending honor
Xiu Xiu fabulosos músculos acuarela discos
I came back to this video just for this comment
Can you make a lynchian soundtrack even more lynchian? Xiu Xiu most definitely can! That's why I love this band so much, holy shit. Xiu Xiu for life.
I can't still believe that fave band did music for my fave show...that is so crazy....I feel like I am still dreaming!!!!
+LIVED 2 Same. I actually did a reality check when I found out lol
isn't life great!
They didn't do music for TP. This is just a tribute.
But who's the dreamer?
Goddamnit you beat me to it XD
Respect. Nothing more to say.
Cooper gives a thumbs up.
Their new album 'girl with basket of fruit' is so good
One of the best albums from 2019 definitely no doubt
it's been months since the last time I listened to it.
I remember I liked it.
he has the black lodge style of movement down to an exact science
Ashamed to admit I've just discovered this. I'm totally speechless as to how affective they are.
Please post the whole thing
Beginning of 'Sycamore Trees' is so powerful. Chills. CHILLS
+Michael-Vincent D'Anella-Mercanti The rest of 'Sycamore Trees' oh SO AMAZING
What an incredible performance. Really wish I could experience Twin Peaks for the first time again :-)
his vibrato is insane
Thank you- respect
Impressive. Glad there were a lot of comments about XiuXiu on the Mitzki videos that brought me here! I'm an original Twin Peaks fan too. So surreal and haunting.
Not sure about the rest, but that "The Pink Room/Blue Frank" cover is outstanding.
Agreed. “Sycamore Trees” was terribly cringeworthy.
This band sucks. The Pink room cover is s#it as a Sycamore trees "cover" either.
you suck
RSD '16 baby!
One of the few awesome LP's I'll be grabbing
This is stunning
sin palabras, muy buena banda la escuchado desde que estaba con el sello acuarelas discos
It's all three of my favourite's from the record
tonite in Paris...... can't wait.....................
Unreal performance, wish I could have seen it live
the sting of the 24-hour blend!
channeling mad krautrock and keiji haino.
Love them so much this goes so hard
Wishing we can get a Blu Ray cut of this!!!
Jamie Stewart est un génie des temps modernes. L'un des seuls restants probablement.
This is absolutely incredible. Please please come to Europe.
Osmodiwald Here you go: OFF Festival, Katowice, Poland, 8.08.15
Incredible!
that's awesome
Some seriously competent musicianship here
Как же круто!
wow!
bao s Quite so, Mr. Cat. :-0
Bravo!
They Make It work
Incredible
where do the vocals on the track "bluefrank/pink room" come from?
Can't wait to see them in Brighton!
Can't wait for Bristol!
Adam Grylls Same!
Молодцы!
You think they'll have Xiu Xiu do any music for Season 3?
+Brother Malachai These guys and Angelo Badalamenti? that'd be pretty dope.
***** I thought it was just a tribute thing. Is there a source where they've said they're doing the music? :D
No
Increible
Anyone know what Jamie is putting his guitar thru? Thanks
+Dylan Dylan
A lot
In the first song it sounds like a cranked spring reverb into some kind of fuzz.
I think I matched the tone, I ran a chorus into my overdrive then into my amp which is a Vox AC15 with the spring reverb cranked. I also use an SG. His pedal board when I did research had an ibanez chorus and pink elephant fuzz.
www.effettidiclara.com/pedalboard/xiu-xiu/jamie-stewart This is what I found when looking up his pedal board.
To me it seems like a chorus before distortion/fuzz/overdrive does the trick.
Personally I'm using a Rainbow Machine dialed in for a chorus sound and an OCD overdrive.
I have some stuff recorded with this setup on bandcamp and I'm really happy, lmk what you guys use to match it and what works for you.
Edit: Went back and looked at demos of the Ibanez BC9(The chorus Jamie uses) now I'm 100 percent he's got it on during the performance, maybe not in the studio version but definitely this performance.
@@vanyagorkov8438 Jamie uses a VOX AC as well. At least in every show I've seen on youtube.
Powerful
favourite video of the yeaRrrrr
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWW
happy #TwinPeaksDay
loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Just like regular chickens.
Christopher Howell OKAY CHRIS
LOOK AT MY KNEES
LITTLE DAMN THINGS. THEY'RE NEW!
Happy #TwinPeaksDay ! 👍☕🦉
holy shit!
This is my first experience with Xiu Xiu, what should I listen to to get into them after this? What's the most accesible after their twin peaks album?
Both Fabulous Muscles and The Air Force are (comparatively) accessible records.
personally angel guts: red classroom was the most accessible xiu xiu record for me. what an album
A Promise got me into Xiu Xiu.
Lol so did you get into them 😂
A Promise
fuck yeah!
Cool! Looks more like à new Tarantino to me
do we know if lynch knows of this project
The music was performed at his festival so most likely. Also I’m pretty sure he had to give permission for his and Angelo’s music to be commissioned like this.
im gay for angela
Жесссть!!!!!!
lalalalla h
What drugs does he take and how do I get some!
even though i am on pot now i can suggest that they maybe did it without drugs
No drugs required, scrub. Just naturally developed insanity.
pain and sadness
That gum you liked. I hear it's coming back in style.
To harness their talent into a performance like this, they'll not be taking any drugs. Have you tried giving your all to a performance, whilst on twonk. As Keith Richards once said, "Nothing creative happens after 10pm".
all third season of TP i was waiting for jamey stewart on scene in the roadhouse. instead of this we had bunch of un-musical american groups like jonny jewel and shit and those 3 girls
Lol, pretty goofy rendition of Sycamore Trees.
Seriously, what was up with that one
I'm better
I was expecting something great from the video title..but I didn't like it
At this point of the show I barely could contain my laughter. This was to ridicules, and how serious he takes himself.. damn.
I kinda think thats Jamies style, even I don't understand Xiu Xiu sometimes.. but theres something that brings me back to Jamies music, he has his moments
"it comes out as a joke"
Damn this sucks
This performance was disgusting and it made me hate the band more
Ok
+Andres Fontan because you love TP or because you hate TP?
+Andres Fontan 黑人弟弟，我代表中华人民共和国消灭你
Ok.
THAT'S THE IDEA SON
Big fan of the twin peaks music, this really sucks
pretentious, awful
so irritating.
