TL;DR

MIEN stormed the KEXP studio on September 24, 2025, delivering a rip-roaring live take of “Western Shouting.” Alex Maas rips vocals, taishogoto and bass, John Mark Lapham brings keys and samples, Rishi Dhir handles bass, guitar, keys and backing vox, while Robb Kidd keeps the beat on drums. Host Jewel Loree kept things rolling as Kevin Suggs engineered the audio, Rishi Dhir mixed it, and Matt Ogaz mastered the final cut.

On the video side, Jim Beckmann, Luke Knecht and Ettie Wahl manned the cameras, with Luke Knecht editing the footage. Crave more? Dive into MIEN’s sonic world at https://mien.bandcamp.com, catch the full performance at http://kexp.org, or join their YouTube channel for exclusive perks!
