My daughter was in the same class as Geordie at BRIT School. She got to gig with him a few times (and, as parents, we got to see him play at group performances etc). He was a fucking genius on guitar, even back then! Big Genesis fan, as well....

I can't stop watching this. Geordie's peaking. This is astoundingly good music. Barely believable.

Untitled 7 is incredible, happy to see him exploring the jazz rock in his own way and it's so fluent. New band with new people definitely inspired him some. Still miss black midi but I'm willing to see them have their rest while trying new things and keeping performing. Thank you so much again for archiving this very first set, and hope to see this band one day myself!

I think this is just the progression greep is going towards, a lot of his current taste (from twitter) seems to be a lot of classical singers and jazz stuffs but who do I know I don’t know the guy he definitely always liked jazz

@J.A2133.

3 ай бұрын

@@CoopStewy didn't argue with that. I was just thinking about that because black midi's last tour they defaulted back to their schlag stage setup (2 guitars instead of keys) and played heavier versions of the hellfire and cavalcade songs. Greep clearly is a jazz guy yeah true

Cavalcade is my favorite black midi album and I was just starving for more music like it and this is just less deranged version of Cavalcade. Awesome! Can't wait till they record this properly.

Regarding all the rumours about Black Midi breaking up, I personally find it very hard to believe there'd be any genuine bad blood between any of the members - if there is they've certainly been real fucking good at hiding it. But when you consider the kind of musicians that they are it makes a lot more sense to me that they simply wanna put Black Midi as a project on hold for a little while and do side quests like this (I mean their touring schedule from 2021-2023 was absolutely relentless, any band would probably wanna take a good year off after a run like that). My theory is that they want to emphasize "Black Midi New Road" (maybe including HMLTD as well considering Shank) as a collective of musicians - like a sort of post-Brexit British rock equivalent of something like the Native Tongues - who do side projects with each other and other people in addition to the main two projects (can you tell I'm still holding out hope for a full Black Midi New Road collab album lol). But regardless of whether Black Midi is done or not, we can be sure whatever stuff Geordie and Cam put out with these side projects will be amazing, and to me that's really all that matters.

Black midi is my favorite band of all time. While I am somewhat put off by the absence of Cam and Morgan, this absolutely fuckin rules. I love the new direction, and anything Greep touches is gold. like erm… uhh… fortnite midas.. like fortnite!

Do y'all plan on releasing this?? ITS SO GOOD got my toes curling and my spine shrinking

this is fucking INSANE

Oh My God

I mean, this sounds great. This also sounds exactly like black midi, so I don't know exactly what were his intentions. Nevertheless, give me more

God damn does Untitled 2 scratch my brain so good

Think I heard bm play lumps a while a go in their set guess greep has plans for it to go in a different set up (also big up to Mike the bass player from endless digital birthdays great band)

36:10 Ladies and Gentlemen, Scott Walker is back!

I saw Black Midi when they came to San Jose, and while the entire band was good, Geordie's vocals blew me away.

30:07 That bit sounds a lot like Magician

These frontman has some huge potential and impressive skills, hope he doesn't make weird music someday, this is so solid
