That's my brother Joe playing the guitar! He's been playing music his whole life. So happy for him, following his dreams!

Emma: Yamaha Reface YC (top), Korg minilogue (bottom)
Nathan: Casio CasioTone 405

KEXP is really introducing me to some great artists I would have never found otherwise.

[aldog]

Dummy is the best band in LA. I’ve seen them 3 times now and every set has been absolutely incredible. Don’t miss the chance to see them live!

[lofifuzzmusic]

It's days like these when I'm thankful for KEXP! Actually, I'm thankful for KEXP every day. Dummy is awesome! Great discovery!

Just saw these guys open for horsegirl and they blew me away-- huge sound, very pretty but loud as hell. won me over immediately-- see them live if you can!!

[blankagwenyver]

This music drifts me away to visualising me & my dearest Tommy RIP (from Liverpool, England) Drift away holding hands up in space lost in space & time for eternity like foolish teenagers. I miss you so much sweetheart. This ones for you.

LOVE the vintage Casio! I had a few Casios, in the 80s, including the SK-1 Sampling keyboard...wish I'd kept them.

[swoodboiye]

Saw them play in redding and they are genuinely one of the most insane live bands out rn

[dennismorgan]

WOW! Tight as hell! I kinda love them! That drummer! So so good! You have a new fan Dummy!

[tombarron]

Thanks Dummy. No spoon feeding - just mainline it to us. Keep it going!

[alecschumann]

I'm just under 2 minutes in and I'm beaming, this is so fun!

whoever says “Stereolab!” like it’s a bad thing is an idiot. when they came out in the 90s they harkened back to sounds 30 years prior to them like 60s pop. God forbid these guys do the same and harken back to the sounds of yesteryear 30-60 years and add their own, new twist to it. and own Casios. Who wouldn’t? synth drones fucking rule. Tim gane is a noted record collector and people ripped on them back in the day because you could just tell from his own music how much he loved stuff you had to hunt down at a record store back in the day like Bacharach and Gilberto and velvet underground. Nothing wrong with that. Same with these guys. It’s awesome to hear how much they love the records that they do from the velvet underground or neu! Or laraaji or Stereolab. Letting your influences be known is an awesome thing. Like what dummy said at the end: these artists are under-appreciated and their music should be known to a wider audience. so kudos to these guys for helping carry their sounds and style on to the next generation to enjoy. And hopefully these guys’ music lives on in 50, 100+ years like the bands they’re citing. We need our great great grandchildren listening to the Velvet underground.

Treefort set at Neurolux last night absolutely crushed! Thanks Dummy

[nnslg]

I'm suddenly blasted back 20+ years to my late teens, listening to twee-influenced indie pop/rock like The Anniversary, Mates of State, Rainer Maria ... great stuff!

[Garden_Core]

Dummy is blowing up i remember listening to their first ep when it came out on pop wig. one of the dudes actually made me a playlist cause they were shouting out so many really cool bands.

[Elijah_sk_]

Wow Atonal Poem is such a great song!!! Was flashed by that closing track, whole session was great :) keep it up thanks for that!

[hoops]

"Mom can we Stereolab?"
"We have Stereolab at home"
