BASIC ELEMENTS

Today is the day! SHAKIN’ directed by music video legend @ChrisApplebaum is here to bring a smile to your face. Spend 3 minutes in detention with some rebellious teens in our homage to “The Breakfast Club” and all things 1985. @JakeRudh @richardblade 👇🏼 youtu.be/DuxzkNnCzl4?si…

Just in time for Halloween, on OCT 25th we’re releasing a spooky B-Side “nite mix” of HIDE (LIVE) • A reimagined take on our anti-authoritarian fight song set to a pulsing dance beat and waves of psychedelic sound • Recorded live at our AZ homecoming show last April

The HIDE (LIVE) Official Video is now on our VEVO & YouTube channels • A post-punk protest song written in 1984 about protecting hope under authoritarian rule, recorded live and featuring @okgo drummer Dan Konopka • If you like early U2 you’ll dig this: youtu.be/JxA86MPI7tA?si…

HIDE is a post-punk protest that we wrote in 1985 about protecting hope & identity under authoritarian rule • On Friday we’re dropping a live version of us playing it almost 40 yrs later because, sadly, the message still rings true. Vote blue Nov. 5th or Hide from your leader.

@richardblade Thank you for speaking out and being on the right side of history • Long Live the New Wavers

What a dumb, insensitive tool.

We’re adding our name to the list… just in case our new release — HIDE LIVE — goes viral on SEPT 20TH 😜 An anti-authoritarian fight song about protecting individuality against bullies, HIDE was written in 1985, but the message is stronger than ever • Do something ✊🏼🗳️🌊

Forgot we’re on here too. New release coming 9/20 — a LIVE version of our anti-authoritarian fight song, HIDE, recorded at our homecoming show in Phoenix last spring. Make sure you’re registered to vote and… Hide from your leader

@anniezaleski This eclipses Oasis for me — and it was a trip seeing Tunde in Twisters! 🌪️

Cannot stress how necessary a TV on the Radio comeback would be. Such an amazing live band.

@akjakalope @GamingDrudge @BasicElementsM1 What was the name of your band?

May 8th, 1985. Origin Day for the band. The leadoff act for our high school talent show, we won the crowd over with a U2 cover then dropped our first original “Hide.” open.spotify.com/track/1xrNW4yF…

@jonhurwitz Yeah, but do you have the Greatest’80s Band Nobody’s Ever Heard Of…

Season 6 will have its fair share of 80s music and not just metal. There's a very non-Johnny song in an early season montage that I know my wife and daughters are going to love. #CobraKai #Netflix
