Thundercat NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert

Oct 18 2017 Bobby Carter -- Thundercat born Stephen Bruner is willing and able to shape-shift to fit into just about any box you show him he just won't stay in there for long Whether fusing his talent for jazz while a bassist with punk legacy act Suicidal Tendencies or as a member of Snoop Dogg's band maybe running a little too far with a solo here and there the focus seems to eventually drift his way After releasing two brilliant solo albums he was plucked to work on what eventually became one of the most important works of art released this decade Kendrick Lamar's To Pimp A Butterfly Capitalizing off of the new exposure he quickly released the EP The Beyond Where the Giants Roam That was followed about two years later by Drunk his most solid project to date I didn't know what to expect in the days leading to the performance but I was hoping to get what I thought a Thundercat experience would be like All boxes ended up checked He arrived wearing a neon pink hoodie with his signature logo plastered about kickboxing shorts white chancletas playing a Nintendo portable gaming console He and his bandmates Dennis Hamm Justin Brown and Miguel Atwood-Ferguson all master musicians in their own right polished off some bacon croissant sandwiches and proceeded to give us three of the best of what Drunk has to offer Set List Lava Lamp Friend Zone Them Changes MUSICIANS Steven Bruner vocals bass Dennis Hamm keys Justin Brown drums Miguel Antwood Ferguson violin CREDITS Producers Bobby Carter Morgan Noelle Smith Creative Director Bob Boilen Audio Engineer Josh Rogosin Videographers Morgan Noelle Smith Maia Stern Alyse young Production Assistant CJ Riculan Photo Jennifer Kerrigan NPR For more Tiny Desk concerts subscribe to our podcast a http 3A 2F 2Fwww npr org 2Fpodcasts 2F510292 2Ftiny-desk-concerts-video a
