Kinky Wizzards: Bass and Drum Brother Duo
The Kinky Wizzards is a British bass and drum duo made up of Jonathan and Matthew Griffiths. The brothers have been playing together since they were around 11 years old, playing as a duo as well as a rhythm section in several bands.
Bassist Matthew sent us this awesome video of three of their original songs – “Walk to the Lake,” “Premonition,” and “Provocative Upset” – each featuring solid and captivating grooves. Guitarist David James joins in the action for the latter two songs.
Check these 2 brothers out! Good stuff.
Original songs? They’re playing a Les Claypool tune :/
It does sound like the Awakening but that isn’t a Claypool song either. He covered it.
Really? Dang, I didn’t know that. Who did the original?
The Reddings. There’s a recording of it on YouTube that’s definitely worth checking out.
Listening now. This is cool :)
The reddings, awakening…. but very sloppy :p
blown away! love the quick little timing change at 07:20. these guys are TIGHT!
Yeah, this first piece is a take on Claypool’s cover of The Reddings’ “The Awakening”.
I’m so used to hearing people say “drum and bass” that saying “bass and drums” ssounds really odd. Cool duo though.
Could certainly do with something else though, to fill those spaces, maybe some vocals or keys/synth/guitar…… Or another bass just to be different.
OH theres the guitar…. still sounds empty though.
I can see why there are some comparisons to Les Claypool… but is that a bad thing? These guys seriously rock.
These bros funk it out man…spectacular.
I was much more impressed with the drummer!
Man we love playing this!!! ;)
