NAMM 2018 | Plini & Simon Grove Live At The Dunlop Booth

Winter NAMM 2018 delivered on its annual promise of gearheads, music aficionados, and top musicians for a four-day feast of exciting sights and sounds.

The crew at the Dunlop Booth were proud to play a part, and while we were there some very talented friends dropped by to sample some of Dunlop’s new gear for 2018—the MXR Sugar Drive, MXR Carbon Copy Deluxe Analog Delay, the Way Huge Pork & Pickle Bass Overdrive & Fuzz, Dunlop Strings, and more.

PLINI has over the years proven himself a true guitar virtuoso by way of his compositions and collaborations. His fretboard wizardry is joined here by his fellow Australian countryman SIMON GROVE, a respected session player, producer, and composer in his own right.

Came for the Plini, stayed for the Grove

[chickenpermission]

You know it's pretty real when the bass player starts playing chords

[imlacsina]

I know how good Plini is, but I'd give Simon the credit for this track.

[JosiahClelland]

NEVER KNEW HOW MUCH OF THIS WAS BASS damn

[DroneCorpse]

Plini's melodies always sound like he's covering a saxophonist who's covering a Plini song.

[manroopaf]

Plini is so humble he even helped paint the wall behind em before the gig

[jacklennon]

I love how melodic Grove’s bass parts are and have lots going on, they’re never boring or just in the background

[ashaankperiera]

Simon Grove is so dang phenomenal like, that's god's grace right there.

[Totone]

I honestly think this is one of the best pieces ever written and played on a guitar. And the bass is amazing too.

[SHMN_YT]

Saw these guys open up for Animals As Leaders in LA. T'was a glorious experience.

[TheDrsalvation]

I'm a bassist, and all I want is a guitarist that looks at me the way plini looks at simon at 0:23

[gorbzzz]

What an amazing bassist.... I love it when he plays with David Maxim Micic.

[rdxj]

I love these guys. I've listened to this album a hundred times, and the previous EPs just as much.
This performance was great, but I couldn't help but smirk a bit when Simon botched the bass solo a little. I've never seen him make a mistake in any video I've watched. I guess he really is human and not an animatronic bass-playing machine! (He also landed on his feet wonderfully. As a bass player who loathes solos, I definitely wouldn't have recovered well.)
I also adore the moment they made eye-contact and grinned at 3:55. These guys are the best. THE BEST.

[luanviiegas]

this video makes me wanna put my feet into a bowl of warm water

[ryanprivitera]

0:38 guy in the background getting his funk on

[joeyspider]

[hzzle]

These guys make the best duo. Great job Plini and Simon as always!

[Ruudiser]

Are you kidding me?? These guys are awesome, look forward to hearing more. Thanks Plini and Simon.
