MIEN – “Counterbalance” Live on KEXP

MIEN stopped by the KEXP studio on September 24, 2025, to lay down a killer live version of “Counterbalance.” Fronted by Alex Maas on vocals, taishogoto, and bass, the Dallas-based quartet—John Mark Lapham (keys/samples), Rishi Dhir (bass/guitar/keys/backing vocals), and Robb Kidd (drums)—delivers a raw, immersive performance captured by host Jewel Loree and engineered by Kevin Suggs (with mixing by Rishi Dhir and mastering by Matt Ogaz).

Behind the scenes, cameras from Jim Beckmann, Luke Knecht & Ettie Wahl and editing by Luke Knecht bring every moment to life. Dive deeper at mien.bandcamp.com or swing by kexp.org for more live sessions.
