ambient Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The one guy's one of my tutors, very cool and nice guy. I've got the live DVD that's quite good, it was filmed partly in Matt Garrison's place. It's something I find I can only watch in small doses though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scalpy Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Went through exactly the same thing, really not bothered and then someone posted Lingus on here and whack, my go to band. To cap it all the drummer on that record was a dep, only knew three of the songs before getting the call to do the record. Takes the Michael.

Mr H Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Age, chemistry and BBC 6 Music have opened my ears to this kind of stuff over the last couple of months; those clips were mightily impressive and I'll watch the long video soon. Anyway, I followed a link to their website, and it seems they have a UK tour coming up in autumn. After a Dublin date on the 29th of September they play from the 1st to the 7th of October at Leeds, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Bristol, London and Brighton.

Bilbo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 It's great that everybody loves these guys and they are highly competent but I think they are pretty unremarkable (I got 2.23 in). Tight but it's all very Weather Report/Zawinul Sindicate and just another in a string on techno-fusion/funk clever barstewards. Weather Report/Mahavishnu/Retrun To Forever followed by Tribal Tech/Al diMeola/Frank Gambale followed by Steve Coleman's Five Elements etc etc. Similar issues to Dirty Loops. It gets harder and harder but not necessarily better and better. Doesn't do it for me; lost of musicians but not that much music I'll go back occasionally and maybe a light will go on one day but, in the meantime, nah.

Just because I like one band in a genre does not mean I will dig most bands in that genre. You can't apply scientific principles to this sh*t.

Brother Jones Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 The drummer is amazing. I'd like to like it above and beyond that, but after a while it sounds like Focus with a horn section... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted March 7, 2015 Share Posted March 7, 2015 My point wasn't to make you like them,mate, but to show where Snorker Poppy comes from conceptually. Nuffink new under the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I like it I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
