MIEN Live on KEXP

MIEN rocked the KEXP studio on September 24, 2025, serving up five scorching tracks—“Counterbalance,” “Mirror,” “How Could You Run,” “Evil People,” and “Western Shouting.” Frontman Alex Maas handled vocals, bass, and Taishogoto duties alongside John Mark Lapham (keys/samples), Rishi Dhir (bass, guitar, keys, backing vox), and Robb Kidd on drums, all guided through chatty banter by host Jewel Loree.

Behind the scenes, Kevin Suggs captured every riff, Rishi Dhir mixed the magic, and Matt Ogaz polished the final master. Camera ops by Jim Beckmann, Luke Knecht, and Ettie Wahl (with Knecht also editing) bring the energy to your screen. Crank it up at mie­n.bandcamp.com and explore more live goodness at kexp.org.
