My daughter turned me on to this band and I've been really digging her playing. Very stripped down but still in the pocket. Hats off to her using SX basses, too!

I was vaguely aware of them, then finally saw them last October at a festival that was conveniently only a 15 minute drive from my house(Desert Trip). Oh, man! Their music is like a narcotic, an amazing blend of a variety of sources. She is so solid and tasteful, but understated, the guitarist is equally unique, going from funky to shred(not in an Yngwie sense but more like a psychedelic Dick Dale), and the drummer is a groove monster but never bombastic. They’re so minimal, but still have a full sound for a trio. Just got their new album yesterday. Going to see them again in about a month.
I listened for at least half an hour, liked everything I heard.
Very very good music indeed!
Nice work on bass.
I think I'll buy the digital album.

yeah i really like that band and she is a great player, very tasteful lines.
Good stuff. It's great "getting some work done at my desk" music that doesn't suck.
she plays a fender jazz through a vintage fender bassman 10 tube combo amp. definately flatwounds, no idea on the brand.
Her main bass is a SX Jazz with flats, but she used a borrowed Hofner knockoff for some tracks on their latest album.

On tour opening for neo-soulster Leon Bridges in big venues all summer.
Great lineup, unfortunately they aren't going to be on the TX leg of the tour (why...)
I hope they do a spill over show for ACL or something
Because they’re the new “lil ol’ band from
Texas”; seriously, who knows, probably got better dates booked. I’m scared that they’re moving past “see ‘em in a small club” status, but I checked them at a festival in a tent with about 600 other people, so that’ll have to do.
If my PTO at work lines up with some of those Leon + Khruangbin dates, I might end up using it as an excuse for a little mini vacation... Beautiful Missoula MT!

The closest that Leon tour comes to here (Vegas) is LA. Sadly, they were here back in November when I didn't know about them.
crap, looks like I just missed them in town last month. I had seen some of their work online last year. I think I'm going to buy an album.
