Thoughts/guesses?
I feel like with this long tour hiatus, and it being almost a year out from TUSUY ii…they have to be cooking up some heat in the barn 🤞🏼
Really enjoyed the A La Sala album and tour. The album brought an intimate and connected feel while listening in ear and in person. Of the three shows I attend, locking in wasn’t an issue at all. Although, depending on the setting this may have opinions from others. Anytime they were playing, it was almost as if everything was blocked off for a moment and in that moment it felt like you could tune in to their sound with ease.
Small clip from Portland, ME @ Thompson’s Point, can’t wait to see them live again, the best band to do it!!! ♥️
Up until now I’ve treated them as three separate paintings but now I’m looking at them lined up wondering how I can unify them. Open for suggestions.
I was very lucky to have gotten to meet the band and share my artwork with them, they each signed their own portrait
The entire second half of this song always sounds like such a celebratory form of music to me.
By the end it feels like fireworks going off in the sky.
TUSUY everyone !!
Merry May Ninth. Happy August 10. But August Twelve is the most special Khruangbin “holiday”:
The first song they wrote together as a band in 2010.
The first song on their self-released debut vinyl EP “เครื่องบิน” in 2011 with the title “Start, You, The End Starts Again”.
Debuted as “August Twelve”on their first album release “The Universe Smiles Upon You” in 2015.
Inspired “August 10” when the band listened to and learned to play “August Twelve” backwards!
I was there and I would really like to get access to the footage because they were going crazy that night and I want to relive it. If someone can help me out I would be very grateful.
I got to listen to May Ninth durring a rainstorm. I am at home with a window open taking it in. A La Sala is the best album for a rainy day IMO
Torrential here in Colorado; with a wildfire near me i am certintly feeling like the universe has smiled upon me. Happy Khruangbin day to all who celebrate☺️
Featuring my first tattoo ever :)
Did anybody get to see some of the meteor shower? Feels appropriate that it landed on today.
Wishing a happy August 12 to the Khru all around the world.

I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating! Two years ago I saw Khruangbin with some of my best friends at the Hollywood Bowl. Of course, it was one to remember. I am so grateful for the friends I’ve made in this community and of course for one of the greatest bands in history! With all the world…
Was in Japan recently for a work trip (was working day of Fuji Rock), missed them at Tower Records, but there was a whole corner of the store set up for them a few days before. Very happy to snag these two as a surprise on a hunt for city pop stuff.
Happy August 10 Everyone! ✈️🐄
“On the same reimagined album, McCartney tapped Texas trio Khruangbin for “Pretty Boys”. They, like Fike, turned this song on its head, giving it a new spin. “[Khruangbin’s song ] which I love,” McCartney once said. “It’s like, ‘Wow!’ Listening to it in the evening at home, it turns the place into a disco!”
Like McCartney’s music, this band’s sound has killer bass tones and global references. Given this, it’s really no surprise McCartney has cited them as contemporary influences. Their inclusion on this star-studded redux album speaks volumes about their place in McCartney’s lineage.”
I keep coming back to this YT video from week 1 of the 2024 ACL Fest. Ruben brings a real energy to this jam.
He also joined them later with Leon on Texas Sun.
