Scary Pockets: Virtual Insanity (Jamiroquai/John Mayer Mashup)
It’s been a while since we’ve shared a video by Scary Pockets, but this one is too cool to pass up. In this clip, the band (with Anna Butterss on bass) mashes up Jamiroquai’s “Virtual Insanity” with some John Mayer-inspired sounds.
Scary Pockets: My Future
Scary Pockets just shared their latest video, with guest vocalist Joanna Jones. In this clip, the band takes on the Billie Eilish tune, “My Future.” Joe Ayoub performs with the band once again and lays it down on a ’72 Fender Precision Bass.
Scary Pockets: Karma Police
Scary Pockets was joined by vocalist Monica Martin for this cover of Radiohead’s “Karma Police.” And while the vocals are fantastic, we were pretty focused on the 1958 P Bass Jon Button is playing on the track.
Scary Pockets: Walk This Way
Scary Pockets is back with another funky cover, and in this one, they’re joined by bassist Hagar Ben Ari and guest vocalist Judith Hill. Check out their take on Aerosmith’s “Walk This Way.”
Scary Pockets: “Dreams” Funk Cover
Scary Pockets is back with another cover – sometimes chill, and sometimes funky. Featuring vocalist/drummer Elise Trouw, the band covers Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.” Nick Campbell provides the foundation on a 1965 Fender P-Bass.
Scary Pockets: Imagine
The new Scary Pockets video once again features bassist Sam Wilkes, who always delivers. But we were absolutely knocked out by India Carney’s vocals on this one. Check out this beautiful take on John Lennon’s “Imagine.”
Scary Pockets: Hide and Seek
As with many Scary Pockets videos, I see the title of the video first and think “I’m not sure how this one is going to turn out.” Then I watch and realize I need to stop doubting. In this clip, the group adds the funk to Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek.”
Scary Pockets: I’d Rather Go Blind / Doo Wop
Scary Pockets is back with a new video, once featuring the groovy bass lines of Joe Ayoub. In this clip, the band is joined by guest vocalist Maiya Sykes and a mashup of Etta James’ “I’d Rather Go Blind” and Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop.”
Scary Pockets: River
When I saw that Scary Pockets did a cover of Joni Mitchell’s great tune, “River,” I wasn’t sure what to expect. But they blew me away. Anchored by Joe Ayoub, with some excellent vocals by Rett Madison, here’s their take on the song.
Scary Goldings: Plant Bass Diet
Scary Pockets just shared a new video for their Scary Goldings project with organist Larry Goldings, in support of their new record, “The Ego Trap.” In this clip, Sam Wilkes handles the bass part. This one grooves!
Scary Pockets: Dancing in the Dark
Scary Pockets is back with a new video, and this one is tight. Bassist Joe Ayoub is coming through loud and clear and prominently featured with a groovy line on their funky cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Dancing in the Dark.”
Scary Pockets: Bennie and the Jets
Sam Wilkes is back in this new Scary Pockets video, which features Marcus Scott on vocals. Dig the band doing their thing on Elton John’s “Bennie and the Jets.”
