this video is a pure historic document. BM in one of their first performances, at Windmill, even before Schlagenheim was released. jeez, thanks.

You know what the best part about discovering these guys while they're in your town? Being deathly sick. So fun.

Had the pleasure of Photographing these guys during the ESNS here in Groningen. Awesome band. Drummer rocks!

Thank you for catching all of their early performances!! It's interesting to see how much they've evolved.

Thanks, and you're welcome. I've been super happy too that I was there to witness the inception, and to then watch them own huge festival stages.

9:35 my favorite little drum thing in this performance. goodness gracious.

Thanks for filming this Lou. Black Midi are such an interesting enigma.

Yeah. This is really growing on me. The first time I saw/ filmed them, I didn't really understand what was going on, but the more I listen, the more I like it. I've been playing this clip over and over. There is a crazy Dub remix here soundcloud.com/introwithlaradio/intro-with-la-240618 The whole podcast is worth a listen btw. I love La's show.

Thank you for this!

Echoing what people said that this was really cool to see something from so early even if (imo) the pieces aren't quite all together yet. I hope this channel and these videos stick around for a long, long time, really appreciate everything. I saw them myself for the first time about a year ago, and it was incredible, both the band and the energy in the venue.

X Xington they are very young indeed. Under twenty?Good old Marc Riley eh? Where'd we be without him to introduce us to the great new bands. These guys are topping my viewing figures for the last couple of months. I don't know if you saw that the weird backing track / vocals is the guitarist holding his phone against the strings. There is such a buzz at their gigs. Gonna be big despite their pretty low profile.
