Snarky Puppy's Eye-Popping New Animated Video Is a Surreal Visual
Snarky Puppy’s Eye-Popping New Animated Video Is A Surreal Visual Adventure 68-date 2019 World Tour currently hits 19 countries, more shows to be added Watch the video for “Bad Kids to the Back” here New album Immigrance out March 15th on GroundUP Music February 22, 2019 – Inspired by films like Richard Linklater’s Waking Life, Ralph Bakshi’s American Pop and Disney’s 1937 classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the surreal video for Snarky Puppy’s “Bad Kids To The Back” utilizes rotoscoped visuals to turn an in-studio performance into one of the wildest animated videos you will see this year. Animator/co-director Michaël Alcaras drew frame-by-frame over live footage of the band recording the song in studio (shot by the video’s other co- director, Stella K), and turned it into an eye-popping four minutes and forty-five seconds. The Snarky horn section suddenly have animal heads; band members shoot lasers from their eyes and tall buildings dance along to the song’s hypnotic grooves. “Bad Kids to the Back,” a “crisp, strutting” (Rolling Stone) track written by Snarky Puppy member Justin Stanton, comes from the group’s upcoming album Immigrance, out March 15th on GroundUP Music. A global touring dynamo who have played to thousands of fans at shows on six continents, Snarky Puppy will embark on another ambitious world tour in 2019. This weekend, the band will be accompanied by the Los Angeles Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles before officially kicking off the 68-date world tour April 11th in Osaka, Japan. -

Snarky Puppy Releasing Moodier, Raw New Album Immigrance March 15th 2019 on GroundUP Music 2019 Tour Dates – UK Tour Announcement 25th Feb. Group performs with L.A. Philharmonic at Walt Disney Concert Hall Feb 23. World tour begins in April Multiple GRAMMY-winners host 3rd annual GroundUP Music Festival in Miami Beach February 8-10 Listen to new song ‘Xavi’ here Pre-order Immigrance here Snarky Puppy, the three-time GRAMMY-winning genre-defying collective, will release their new album Immigrance on March 15th via GroundUP Music. Like their last album, 2016’s GRAMMY-winning Culcha Vulcha, Immigrance is a studio project, and it features most of the same musicians. And though it shares that project’s ace musicianship and dynamic, kinetic spirit, it is also rawer and moodier than its predecessor. Several of the compositions put a new-found emphasis on delivering simpler, streamlined impact, and bassist, composer and bandleader Michael League, as producer on the album, left in the tiny flubs and unvarnished textures that accompany great organic performances. Immigrance is also all about movement. “The idea here is that everything is fluid, that everything is always moving and that we’re all in a constant state of immigration,” explains League, who founded Snarky Puppy in 2003 and has helmed it into one of the most popular, virtuosic and influential bands of the current jazz and instrumental-music renaissance. “Obviously the album’s title is not without political undertones.” But Immigrance doesn’t aim to scold or condescend; rather, its mission is one of uplift, a testament to what humanity can achieve when cultures are able to come together without fear. -
Snarky Puppy – Live at the Royal Albert Hall
Snarky Puppy – Live At The Royal Albert Hall (50:22 + 48:57, 2 CD, 3 LP, GroundUp Music, 2020) Erstaunlich, welche Acts abseits des allgemeinen Mainstreams mittlerweile die Royal Albert Hall füllen. Es gibt also doch noch Hoffnung für den guten Geschmack. Das formidable amerikanische Musikerkollektiv Snarky Puppy um Bandleader Michael League machte auf seiner Tour im letzten Jahr ebenfalls in der altehrwürdigen Veranstaltungsstätte in London Halt. Bei diesem Livealbum stand logischerweise der Fokus auf dem letzten Studioalbum „Immigrance„, welches gleich mit sechs Songs vertreten ist. Die Setlist fokussiert sich trotz der inzwischen recht umfangreichen Diskografie der Amerikaner neben dem Material von ‚Immigrance‘ lediglich auf weiteres Material aus den Alben „We Like It Here“ (2014), „Culcha Vulcha“ (2016), sowie überraschenderweise zwei Songs aus der wesentlich jazzigeren Frühphase „The World Is Getting Smaller“ (2007), die aber wesentlich luftiger und dem sonstigen Material angepasst daherkommen. Warum sich Snarky Puppy über die Jahre mittlerweile eine recht breite, teils altersmäßig sehr junge Fanbasis erspielt haben, liegt vor allem im differenzierten Stilmix begründet, der sich eben recht weit außerhalb des reinen Jazz bzw. Jazz Rocks bewegt. Da sind Elemente aus Rock, Funk, R&B, Soul, Latin, Electronic oder World Music zu vernehmen, zudem vorangetrieben durch feingliedrige, mitreißende Rhythmik und sehr lässiges Feeling. Die sehr große Besetzung versteht sich immer als Einheit und z.B. trotz der vierfachen(!) Keyboardpower wirkt hier nichts überladen, sondern immer exakt auf den Punkt gebracht. Zudem gelingt es, moderne Klangästhetik mit herrlich analogen Sounds aus den Keyboardburgen zu vereinen, die bisweilen durch messerscharfe Bläsersätze gewürzt werden. Die Band interpretiert das Songmaterial im Vergleich zu den Ursprungsversionen keineswegs anders oder bricht die Songstrukturen komplett auf, dafür werden jedoch die Soloparts beliebig verändert bzw. -

Snarky Puppy Has Room for Everyone Snarky Puppy 8 P.M

Cache St. $75-$95 plus $3 processing fee JHCenterForTheArts.org By Billy Arnold At this point you’ve probably heard of Snarky Puppy. Or maybe you haven’t. Even though the band has gone from be- ing one of the best-kept secrets in the music industry to the top of the instrumental mu- sic scene (it has a perfect batting average at the Grammys, with three nominations and three wins), Snarky Puppy is still kind of a niche operation: an oftentimes 20-part jazz band that improvises onstage and records in front of a live studio audience. With all those moving parts it might seem impossible for the members of Snarky Puppy, which will play at 8 tonight at the Center for the Arts, not to step on one an- other’s feet. But Justin Stanton, one of the band’s trumpet and keyboard players, said they don’t. That big-band energy and presence is all part of the process. “When we record, everyone’s involved, everyone’s there, everybody that’s touring regularly,” Stanton said. “It’s usually 20, 25 STELLA K / COURTESY PHOTO guys present in the recording session.
