[KindaKaon]

just seeing him sing along to the synth going “weeeeoooo” was enough to convince me this band is a completely top notch act live

[tiaguinhodebikini]

Lyrics:

He goes to work on his computer
He thinks about his gun at home
One day he's gonna be a shooter
He's gonna bring his gun to work
He thinks about the ones who wronged him
And the punishments they'll face
But things, they would play out much different
Back in the time when we were apes
Huh
When everybody was a monkey, ha
We had to fight just to survive
And now you got yourself a weapon
You think you choose who lives or dies
But when we had hairy arms and legs
And you were still swimming 'round in a lake
Yeah, you were still a troglodyte
You just evolved a bit too late
You ain't no ape, you're a troglodyte
You ain't no ape, you're a troglody-ay-ay-yte
Oh
He says he don't believe in science
He thinks that all the news is fake
And late at night he sits on his computer
And writes about the things he hates
But if it was a million years ago
And we were still living in caves
You would not be welcomed by the other apes
'Cause you evolved a bit too late
You ain't no ape, you're a troglodyte
You ain't no ape, you're a troglody-ay-ay-yte
Yeah, you're a troglody-ay-ay-yte
Yeah, you're a, yeah, you're a
Yeah, you're a t-t-t-t-troglodyte
Oh, oh, ha-ha-ha-ha
Troglodyte

These guys KILLED it when they opened for Queens of the Stone Age

[Imiface]

That "whooo" at 00:45 kills me every time. :)

[grahamblack]

Viagra Boys, Amyl and the Sniffers, Otoboke Beaver, Surfbot - it's a fantastic time for music.

[Soul_Tomato]

Saw them last year and it was legitimately one of the best shows I've ever been to.

No fucking way they are on KEXP. Super excited, saw then live last year was a blast

[damiankirkwood]

[jehutyjammer]

In Germany, we call this Bomber-Style!!! Please more of These stuff!!!

[BigBossSquirtle]

First time listener here. They were great. Just made a new fan.

[t_rexdiaz]

Holy damn!!! This sounds so energetic, powerful
Without kexp never would have known this song existed
We definitely have to say good bye to the old generation of bands, and open up for new

[Sludgeyriffs]

[Fectual]

I have been out of the music listening cycle...
For this I have missed some bands that are great on the ears. Viagra Boys are one of them. I am so happy that you brought them to my lax and lazy ears 🙂
