This week Liv is joined by Khruangbin’s iconic bassist Laura Lee. Also known as “Leezy” on stage, Laura and her bandmates Mark and DJ have an instantly recognizable sound - a blend of funk, soul, and disco - that’s cultivated them a massive fan-base, with sold out tours, festival headlines, and collaborations with the likes of Leon Bridges. In this episode, Laura takes us through the inception of the band from their early days in Houston to the barn they record their music in, how she uses fashion to create her on-stage persona, and gives us a behind-the-scenes of their latest record, Mordechai Remixes.

    Having dinner together every week for 3 years before ever playing music together is absolutely charming ❤

    Fantastic band. Her bass lines are super tasty. She seems to be a very cool person too.
  • @justinwager9100
    What I love about this band is how despite being flash they’re thing is simple and basic in the best way, and it just works, it’s just the three of them , no overdubbing, transparent about gear and setup, and it just works.
  • @rael1999
    She comes across so grounded, it's the key to a happy life. You can see how much she loves doing what she's doing.
  • @SilvioFYT
    You can tell the bass is what Laura feels comfortable with, she's phenomenal!
  • @narieee2543
    She is the definition of sensualness on stage
  • @LexTNeville
    Best musical coincidence ever for me. On a cringe bender with friends searching for 'Evanescence', and 'Evan Finds the Third Room' came on next and snapped us back into a realm of good taste and vibes. That was years ago. Have loved them ever since.

    I came across khruangbin from a newspaper story in some packing paper. I read the article, saw their picture, and being a musician, I had to check them out. Love s first listen. Been a fan ever since. Two years of khruangbin and they are still so fresh.
  • @paulking187
    Clearly an organic collaboration, they sound authentic and inspired. Not trying to be a pervert but I am captivated & hypnotised by Laura's stage presence, for sure together the group are magic.
  • @TheCcmarine
    Laura Lee is the most interesting artist/person and I just want to know more about her. Such a cool story about Tuesday nights etc. Thanks for the video and interview.
