Dopapod Announces Return Show at The Capitol Theatre

After taking 2018 off – with the exception of a mini-reunion at Brooklyn Comes Alive – Dopapod has announced their return to the stage with an April 27th performance at The Capitol Theatre in Port Chester, NY. “We’re all incredibly excited to bring the band back together to usher in the next chapter of Dopapod,” keyboardist Eli Winderman shares. “We’ve been blown away by the amount of speculation on our return and just the overall love and support surrounding the band.” We ca

Soul Clap is going to FUNK us into 2017 at Brooklyn’s Good Room [NYE Preview]

In what will probably be the funkiest party in New York City on New Year’s Eve, Soul Clap will take over the Good Room alongside friends No Regular Play and local legends Justin Strauss and Billy Caldwell. The event leaves at home the snobbiness that NYE and club culture and perpetuate, instead favoring booty-shaking beats and that elusive “good time” everyone is trying to have when they go out. The Soul Clap duo are ending a big year which saw the release of their best studi

INTERVIEW: Lettuce’s Shmeeans Talks New Album, Brooklyn Bowl, Krasno +more

Lettuce has been around, or at least its members have been jamming, for over 23 years. When the group of musicians met through Berklee College of Music, they had no idea they’d be selling out venues and continuing to grow together as musicians over two decades later. It’s been a privilege to watch them over the past few years, and I can’t wait to watch them get better every time. I chat recently with guitarist Adam Smirnoff, most likely known to you as Shmeeans, about a varie

Lettuce’s New Album ‘Crush’ Is Out Today, Documentary and NYC Record Release Party

Funk titans Lettuce released their newest album, Crush, today. The 15-track LP is their first since 2012’s Fly. Despite the lack of official releases, the group has been super busy, playing dozens of festivals a year, touring their asses off, and many members even backing up Pretty Lights as the Analog Future Band. The band will celebrate the release of Crush with two nights at New York City’s Playstation Theater. The room is much larger than the Brooklyn Bowl that they norma

NEW MUSIC: Chet Faker – Bend [Soulful Electronica]

Australians are slowly taking over the world of music. Chet Faker is one of them. He is a master of smooth and suave vocals. He recently released a new song called “Blend”. It’s an unreleased track from Faker’s Built on Glass album. This song is more upbeat than his usual productions. With some funky guitar elements in there, the sound is just right for the summertime vibe. Check it out below. #soulfulelectronica #funk #musicnews #soul #bend #chetfaker #electronic #dubera #ne

SHOW REVIEW: Lettuce Plays 2+ Hours on Beautiful Central Park Day [NYC]

In a scene where most bands are past their prime, Lettuce is a rare exception. With each show, the Brooklyn-based funk outfit seems to dig deeper into their own music, with improvisations becoming spacier, teases growing stronger, and the funk getting, well, funkier. On an absolutely gorgeous day in New York City, Lettuce made their debut on Central Park’s Summerstage. The Soul Rebels opened up with their own brand of brass-heavy funk under the beaming sun. After a quick set

EVENT PREVIEW: 5 Reasons Umphrey’s McGee & Lettuce at The Fort Is Going To Be Legendary

Growing up there, I never expected something of this magnitude to happen. I took senior photos at this fort in high school and I go mountain biking with my mom there. It’s not something the locals normally view as a concert venue. Here are the things you need to know about the show and the surrounding area that are going to make it legendary. 1.

New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, better known as JazzFest, revealed its 2015 lineup just moments ago. While the majority is listed above, the lack of flyer left us to screenshot the best we could… Elton John and The Who are the most royal of headliners, but the fun hardly stops there. No Doubt, Chicago and John Legend should prove to be fun and entertaining main stage acts, and Widespread Panic, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Wilco, Steve Winwood, The Word and more will satisfy t

SHOW REVIEW: Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood @ Terminal 5 [NYC]

Medeski Martin & Wood might be the most prominent jazz trio in the jam scene, so when they link up with John Scofield for an album and tour, you know things are going to get weird. Juice, the quartet’s recent album, is a highly acclaimed work of free-jazz funk and more. While ‘jazz’ in 2014 is usually meant for reserved seats and reserved individuals, MSMW have ties to festivals like Bear Creek and even Bonnaroo to thank for their crowd’s rowdiness.

SHOW REVIEW: Wil Blades & Cory Henry Get Jazzy at Drom

A packed house was treated to an incredible double bill of modern jazz last night. The East Village’s Drom played host to Wil Blades Trio and Cory Henry (of Snarky Puppy fame) for a long, late night of funky vintage sounds. Wil Blades Trio kicked things off with a selection of cuts off the recent album Field Notes. The album does a phenomenal job demonstrating how good the drums, guitar, bass/keys combo can work within the genre, much like Soulive does. The group thrives in

Photo by Patrick Hughes Exmag just released a smooth new remix by Aussie producer Nehzuil. The piano-driven remix turns “Tilt Mode” in to a smooth, jazzy joint, perfectly matched by Gibbz’ falsetto.
