MIEN tore into KEXP’s Seattle studio on September 24, 2025, with a tight five-song set: “Counterbalance,” “Mirror,” “How Could You Run,” “Evil People” and “Western Shouting.” Frontman Alex Maas manned vocals, taishogoto and bass, backed by John Mark Lapham’s keys and samples, Rishi Dhir on bass/guitar/keys and Robb Kidd on drums, all guided by host Jewel Loree’s infectious energy.
Behind the scenes, Kevin Suggs captured the live audio, Rishi Dhir mixed it, and Matt Ogaz polished it in mastering. Visuals were handled by Jim Beckmann, Luke Knecht and Ettie Wahl (edited by Knecht). Dive deeper on MIEN’s Bandcamp or relive the full performance on KEXP.org.
