Live Performance: BADBADNOTGOOD at TEDxToronto

BADBADNOTGOOD is composed of musicians Matthew Tavares, Chester Hansen and Alex Sowinski, who first met in Humber College's Music Performance program. Since then, the group has released a series of critically acclaimed independent releases, and have performed at Coachella, the famed music and arts festival in California.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Amazing. 5:47 for Flying Lotus' Putty Boy Strut cover

[brain.in.a.body.]

Putty boy strut was very cool. Great job! Killin' it on the drums

[AQGOAT]

As much as I love Flying Lotus, I enjoyed BBNG's cover more. 

[CongressmanWeezy]

Leland playing some coltrane licks in there, sick!

[alexkay]

you know you're doing something sick when you play at TED. this band needed to happen.

[kevin_maxwell_smith]

this might be my favorite bbng live performance yet

[sione_etc]

i wanna see them play the whole of Until the Quiet Comes

[kvltwalter]

BBNG playing as a quintet! I thought that was great, but I wish the guitar was a little more prominent. Leland is getting better at the sax too. He didn't really impress me on BBNG2 but his performance here is decent.

[pileofwater]

Neu! '75 shirt, obviously the superior album

[rorymcconachie]

Alex looks he's been possessed by some awesome drum playing demon. This is great

[erickgarcia]

and people say there isn't good music anymore...

[stevenbriggs]

Leland Whitty STILL makes my legs weak and my mind turns to dust 8 years bloody marry me already :')

[hasaanp]

Finally someone playing the real music in this world :-)

[bbaae]

I anyone knows those chords in pretty boy strut on guitar for the break down that would be awesome.

[maxry]

at around 9 minutes, the video in the background - does anyone know what that's from? I know it's from a electronica song, but I can't remember what. It might be the same label as Battles. totally bugging me that I can't remember.

[kae]

oh dang he's using an mb200 i have one of those
