Cory Wong - Vulfpeck Alumnus

[Doctor J]

Anyone digging Vulfpeck should give Mr. Wong's solo material a listen. This is incredibly funky in an early-Prince kind of way. Petar Janjic and Kevin MacIntire are one hell of a rhythm section and Cory's a very funny fella as well as nailing that fourth-position funk guitar. He's touring in a few weeks and I have nabbed a ticket for the Cork show. Expectations are high after seeing this.

Love Vulfpeck.  So funky and they have so much fun.

Vulfpeck are at the top of their game, to my mind. I love their infectious enthusiasm and weapons grade funk. And interesting clothing choices.

This still makes me smile. . . . from ear to ear.

Damn!! Love this.  Didn't realise he had another project.  Cheers for the heads-up!

Amazing playing from all involved. This one does it for me, though... those horns!

For those who haven't watched the Live in MPLS video (embedded above) all the way through, spare yourself 5 minutes to watch the section starting around 1:20, where he teaches the audience to count in 25/8 time.

No kidding, he really does !   😮  👍

Bonus: The drumming either side of that bit is insanely good 🙂

Edit -> Actually, here's a link straight into it, just watch the faces of the other guys in the band 😉

They are touring now and have 5 dates in the uk

I'm going to the london show in electric ballroom

[chris_b]

I can't get there. I've got tickets for Keb Mo on that night!!

If you like what Wong does, you’ll enjoy this. If you don’t like what Wong does, you might still enjoy this. Give it a go. Wonderful stuff. Seth Tackaberry doing a fine job on bass.

Was that this year/recent or was that cancelled / I meant to go and forgot or it was cancelled because of this current climate

February this year at the SWX (think that’s what the venue was called). Very funky! 

[Cuzzie]

That’s correct - I can’t remember why I missed it but I regret it - it’s a great venue SWX actually

Yeah, the sound was really good. I’ve always had good experiences in Bristol - Snarky Puppy at the Bristol O2 a few months earlier sounded great too.
