YYNOT: Prelude
As we mentioned in their “YYZ” video, YYNOT has a new drummer (Chris Moore). And so they’re recording lots of new versions of their epic Rush covers with this new lineup. As always, the bass (and more) is handled by Tim Starace, with Billy Alexander on guitar and Rocky Kuner on vocals. In this video, they tackle “Prelude,” the first...
Craig Strain & Lauren Pierce: Bach Invention No.13 – A Minor
Bach’s music is timeless and goes beyond the scope of any single instrument. Today we’re featuring an awesome duet of Bach’s Invention No. 13 in A minor where the double bass meets the electric bass. Craig Strain and Lauren Pierce teamed up to tackle the classical counterpoint masterpiece. Strain called the piece “a bit of fun with an old school...
Bravo Victor: The Duel
Bassist Jonathon Burgess sent us the new video by his duo with vocalist Sophie Aked, known as Bravo Victor. This video is a milestone for Bravo Victor – their debut single for their upcoming EP. The band has the track available on Bandcamp.
MonoNeon: Miles Beyond, Live
MonoNeon’s playing never ceases to amaze me, and this clip of him covering a Mahavishnu Orchestra song is why. The bassist grooves hard on the song “Miles Beyond” in this video from a concert in Memphis, Tennessee. As always, MonoNeon puts his own spin on it with an incredible solo. Keyboardist Lance Lucas and drummer Anthony Knox help to provide...
Snarky Puppy with Esperanza Spalding: Grown Folks
Although this is a fan-shot video, it’s too good to pass up. Snarky Puppy and Esperanza Spalding both performed at the GroundUP Festival earlier this year. Spalding joined Michael League and the crew for their song “Grown Folks” from . The bassists trade off on playing the bass line with Spalding taking an unbelievable vocal solo halfway through the tune.
Bambo Kino: Angels in Motion
We featured bassist Bambo Kino, aka Mark Buccilli, as a reader spotlight back in 2014 and today we’re sharing some more of his music. Here’s a clip of him playing with the recording for his fusion song “Angels in Motion” from the album Ecto Perfecto.
Royal Blood: Lights Out
It has been a while since we’ve featured a video by the duo known as Royal Blood. Bassist Mike Kerr (who also handles keyboards and vocals) and drummer Ben Thatcher have released their video for “Lights Out,” which is appearing on their upcoming album, How Did We Get So Dark?, set to release on June 16th. The album is available...
Allan Holdsworth: Devil Takes The Hindmost
In 1985, my best friend shared Allan Holdsworth’s Metal Fatigue album with me. We both nearly wore out the vinyl, and I became an instant fan of his work – picking up his subsequent albums over the following years. I was devastated to learn of his passing yesterday and went back to many of those albums – and some videos....
Theo Katzman: Plain Jane Heroin
I caught Theo Katzman last night at Jammin Java in Vienna, Virginia, who is on tour in support of his new album, . It was a nice surprise to see his Vulfpeck bandmate Joe Dart backing him up on bass. This tune was one of the big hits of the night.
The Who: Eminence Front (Live)
The Who’s It’s Hard was one of the first albums I bought on vinyl, back in 1982. I always loved John Entwistle’s bass line on “Eminence Front.” I decided to check out the album again, which brought me to this live performance from their tour stop in Toronto that year. The Ox throws in some seriously tasty lines after the...
Justin Chancellor: How to Play Tool’s “Aenima”
Tool’s music has lots of great qualities, but we all know the bass lines are always the best. Luckily, bassist Justin Chancellor sat down with France’s Bassiste Magazine to show how to play the classic track “Aenima.” He also talks about how the beat works to help you feel it out. Time to practice!
EchoTest: The Plight
We were excited for EchoTest to release their new album, from two balconies, and this clip is a reason why. Bassists Julie Slick and Marco Machera rip into the tune “The Plight” in a video shot over four venues.
