Thundercat Archives

I’ve been digging the videos from this year’s NAMM Show, including this incredible jam by Thundercat, Hadrien Feraud, and Michael Pipoquinha at the GR booth.

After a decade of dormancy, Dethklok has returned an album of all new songs and a full-length feature film. “Dethalbum IV” and “Metalocalypse: Army of the Doom Star” are out now, and as such, the animated death metal overlords are taking the metal to the masses.

Thundercat just released his first new music in three years, and now he’s announced a headlining tour for later this year.

Bass virtuoso Thundercat has released a new collaboration with Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker. “No More Lies” is the bassist’s first official single since his 2020 album, It Is What It Is, and may be the start of something bigger.

Everyone’s favorite virtual band has returned. “Cracker Island” marks the eighth studio album from Gorillaz, and it sees character bassist Murdoc Niccals and his bandmates joined by tons of talented guests.

Red Hot Chili Peppers will be crossing the globe in 2023 with a new world tour. Flea and the gang will be making appearances at festivals as well as performing stadium concerts with a killer rotating cast of support acts.

Few groups have been pushing musical limits like the duo of DOMi and JD Beck, whose trailblazing drum and keyboard works have been catching the attention of musical icons. They’ve just released a new album with the help of Thundercat on bass.

Last year, it was announced that Thundercat would be touring this summer in support of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Now the bass phenom has unveiled a set of headlining concerts alongside the stadium tour.

After teasing their world tour with a spoof video last month, the Red Hot Chili Peppers have released a full itinerary of their upcoming global trek, and it’s going to be epic.

Bass phenom Thundercat has announced a substantial North American tour this fall to support his 2020 Grammy-winning release, “It Is What It Is”. Rapper Channel Tres will be opening the show for much of the outing.

In episode two of his new YouTube show, Bass Nation, bass legend Stanley Clarke talks about a question he gets from students of all levels: How do I find my sound? Verdine White and Thundercat joins him in the discussion.

Thundercat released his fourth album this year, had his bass featured as Bass of the Week, and entertained us with videos that show off not only his incredible musicianship but also his humor. He makes the “Reader Favorite” list at #6.
