Snarky Puppy: Skate U
Our friend Seth Fromal gave us a heads up to this video of Snarky Puppy performing the song “Skate U” from their album Tell Your Friends, live in the studio.
Bassist, band leader and composer Michael League gets down with an old school P-bass sound before funkin’ it up on his solo at the 2:47 mark.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
This is the tip of the iceberg for Snarky Puppy videos. This song is still groovin as all get out.

I am fully reminded of Steely Dan in the 70’s! This has that feel and sound completely.
This is a great sound, I love this sort of groove. Haven’t heard of these guys before so will definitely be downloading soon for sure.
Absolutely
I wish I was there for the recording!
These guys are always on point! Love It!
What effect is that on solo? POG?
Yes. I have one. They’re badazz.
I love My POG. Michael League is the reason I purchased it.
Whoa. That is one funky groove!
Absolutely sexy! Great badazz sound effect on the bass solo.
