Snarky Puppy & Vikter Duplaix

Snarky Puppy killed it today at The Breeding Ground NYC. Their rehearsal was broadcast live on NUMUBU for viewers around the world to enjoy. The Breeding Ground isn’t a rehearsal space, but we are honored to host Snarky Puppy as they prepare to record their next album in December. If you didn’t get a chance to see them during the last two rehearsals, make sure you tune in tomorrow. We’ll be doing another live broadcast courtesy of NUMUBU from 5pm-8pm EST.

Today, we filmed Vikter Duplaix at the BET screening of the season 2 premiere of Master of the Mix. We caught exclusive interviews with cast members and celebrity judges, DJ Kid Capri and AmberRose

Was it cool? Yes, indeed. The event was hosted by Smirnoff and there were definitely a bunch of interesting people around. Season 2 of Master of the Mix looks like it’s going to be even more exciting than season 1. Check out the premiere, this Saturday at Midnight.

Now…it’s time to repair cables. I’m gonna bust out the soldering iron and get to work. See you tomorrow!

Burritos!

We just got back from eating burritos at Morelos…Yum. I think I’m waaaaay too full to stay up much longer, but I wanted to stop by and say hello and thank you to everyone who tuned in to our first live broadcast of Snarky Puppy’s rehearsals at The Breeding Ground on Numubu.

Snarky Puppy were good sports, answering questions, telling viewers a little about their background, and playing some awesome music for for everyone who tuned in. It was a great day and tomorrow will be even cooler. More band members will be coming through to rehearse, so we’ll have a full house. Wish I could be there too, but I’ll be filming a press event. No worries, I’ll be back to host our live broadcast on Friday. Tomorrow, you’ll get to see The High Breed drummer, Bob Edinger, host Snarky Puppy’s rehearsal on Numubu. Show him some love and tell all your friends! 

Thursday rehearsal time: 5pm-8pm EST

Snowy Sessions

Snow in October and everyone is bugging out. Funny, it was only a couple days that I told Angéle  that I felt that we were going to go straight into winter after an extended summer…and looky, looky, it’s snowing outside. I don’t know if you can really call it snow…it’s a very slushy situation out there. Even Poops wasn’t happy with the weather. Our studio pug does not to go out in the rain. However, today, I discovered that if you put her in one of her jackets, she will happily stroll around Bushwick. Diva, baby.

Mafé had an awesome session today. Even though she wasn’t used to Tariq’s unconventional methods, she was able to deliver some incredible takes. Backed by Jesse Fischer on keys, Alex Busby Smith on bass, and Tariq Khan on drums, the track sounded really great.

We’ll putting together a video to share with you soon. 

What’s going on now? I’m knocking out a bunch of office stuff while Jeff and Tariq are getting The High Breed’s permanent recording gear set up. Tonight…rehearsal. Can’t wait! 

By the way, NUMUBU is the new crackness. If you’re not up on it yet, let me tell you, you really should be.  You can find gigs and collaborators, network with other artists, promote your music…and on and on and on. Do it! :-D 

Click here and it’ll take you to the place you want to be: on top of things! 

Holla :-)

Clearing Spaaace

We’re going to tackle that creepy storage space high up in one of the wall of the office.

I’m not really sure what’s up there, but we’re prepared to discover the mysteries as we climb the ginormous ladder and reorganize the space. It’s gonna be real dirty ;)

Did you catch FunkNYCity on thevillageunderground.com last night? Omg!! They killed it! KILLED IT! dysFUNKtiON and Li’nard’s Many Moods….lol, explosive. It was crazy to watch online, so I know the crowd at the Underground was having a great experience. At one point they called out every person in the audience with slowwwwed down cover of “Get Up,” and the club was rocked! It was insane! 

Ok, to the caves!

Have a great day :)

Li’nard’s Many Moods @ Groove - Thursday, JUNE 23

This Thursday, June 23 @ 9PM 

Li’nard Many Moods and Inaya Day!!

Got plans for Thursday? Make a date with East Village superstars Li’nard’s Many Moods and Inaya Day at Groove.  It’s hard to contain yourself while they play pop, dance, soul, funk, rock, and RnB, like you’ve never experienced it before: organic, raw, and guaranteed to keep you dancing all night…or at least until 2am. Think you won’t? This band loves a challenge! Before the night is through, they’ll even have the biggest, toughest dude in the crowd on stage learning how to “lean back.” If you haven’t had an opportunity to catch one of their shows, this you should definitely come out Thursday. 

See you at Groove!
