Snarky Puppy 2014 Spring Euro Tour + killer vids

Hot off the press 

A further tour coming in the Summer as well.

If you don't know why this is big news, here's a vid from their new album/DVD. Every now and then one of them goes absolutely batshit crazy live and this is where Mr Larnell Lewis (drums) did it.



Incredible aren't they?

and here is Mr Shaun Martin playing one of the greatest Moog/Talk Box solos ever...

An unstoppable and brilliant band - good luck getting tickets, their US tour sold out fast.

Snarky Puppy feat Tony Scherr - Black Sheep (Family Dinner Volume One)

I've tried not to post these Monday vids from Snarky's for a few weeks but this is another contender for performance of the year. For me, the last Tony Scherr vid was the only clunker they have posted so I didn't expect much here - WRONG! Highlights; the little smile at :43 because he know's he's got a barnstormer coming; the chord at 1:12; the omg reaction by those three dudes with the headphones round about 1:46; drummer starts building up a head of steam 4:14; Tony cranks the amp into feedback but then plays quietly 4:33 because he's got another ace up his sleeve; beautiful lady totally blissing out at 4:45; 5:33 here comes that ace - just listen to the guitar tone change when he hits that micro-switch; then it's honkin' perfection all the way to the end.



I don't know what it is about the genius of Snarky Puppy but this is another performance where the guest just cannot stop at the end.

This is the time to say that the film team who work with Snarky Puppy are superb - they caught all those highlights in a live performance! Just look at the (rare) beam on the 12-string guitarists face at 7:13 which is out and then in focus. Brilliant.

Snarky Puppy feat Chantae Cann - Free Your Dreams (Family Dinner - Volume One)

Look I'm trying not to post all of their Monday Vids but dang it's proving difficult. They're back being happy this week - this is a joyous performance with a smashing piano solo



Posts about the CD DVD and European tour are peppered all over this blog ha ha cos we love 'em
Woah! update - go Chantae (just listen as she gradually silences the drunks - the last passage is incredible) 

Snarky Puppy feat. Malika Tirolien - I'm Not The One (Family Dinner Vol 1)

I swear I'm trying not to post every one but damnit this is incredible! If you don't know what this is all about...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!



I just have two more words to add GUITAR SOLO!
