Snarky Puppy Band on the Wall 14th May

[Prosebass]

Mrs Prosebass got the tickets for this, I had not even heard of them so went along without any prior listening.

The venue is great and very intimate, always the best.

Impressions,

Brilliant musicianship, sounded to me like a cross between Soft machine / Return to Forever / Hebie Hancock / Weather Report / Big Band
I recognised quite a few Weather Report chord progressions in a few of their songs.

Overall a great night, the crowd (some on their second consecutive night) loved them.
It was a concern full of fun with plenty interaction and plenty irreverence.

The thing that spoiled it for me was a little too much 'over indulgence' by the keybaord player that went off into the realms of musical w***ing....

Would I watch them again? yes probably, just for the bass face on Michael League.
