Hands down, Theo Katzman is one of the best lamp players of this generation

[matt-jnno]

It's the face he makes when he's playing the lamp that does it for me.

[poofyhairguy]

"What do you play?"

"The hi-hat and lamp"

[skeptjk]

When I heard this for the first time, I divorced my wife, sold all my possessions, took all my money and bought 3 things, a bass, an amp, and a trailer. I have been living thusly, in the deep of the most forgotten woods, naked, playing funk bass non stop, 24/7, for the past 7 years. I emerge only now, once, to post this singular message, before I return to the bass. I regret nothing. *Nothing*.

[michaelgirard]

This is so funky I smelled it from 3 videos away.

[benjaminfeddersen]

Every time you think Joe Dart is about to miss a beat, he puts it in the pocket in the pocket in the back pocket.

[BandBHawks]

i love how one of the greatest studio bass performances of the last half-century was performed in a living room while sitting on an exercise bench

[kyleonard]

Just think - if Jack hadn't shouted "Yo, " to get em out of the bridge, this recording could've gone on for 3 hours instead of 3 minutes.

[SonTannerProductions]

vulfpeck is one of the most consistently amazing groups i've ever heard

[ggstylz]

My dopamine production increases exponentially when those keyboard chords start elevating this groove @ 2:03

[sgkfilms]

Bassist and guitarist are so tight you could put a piece of coal between them and by the end of the track it would be a diamond.

[pvnova]

I've got a fever and the only prescription is more bassline.

[yaboi-kmqn]

Interesting how their whole band is a rhythm section.

[Julianjazzaaaaa]

It’s inspired by the Weather Report song “Teen Town”, in which Jaco Pastorius recorded the bass and snare drum separately from the high hat and the bass line was doubled by synth player’s left hand… just like this song

[Lozoot]

Is anybody here a fish vet? _This bass is sick_

[SQUIRTGANG]

Lyrics to "Dean Town": "yo"
Lyrics to "Cory Wong": "ah"

Legend

[Slormer]

Bass guitarist has the moves of a rooster with plenty of food at his feet, but he ain't hungry, just leaving it for his hens. So tight.

[emanuelmayer]

I lost the link to the video. And the name. And the song-title. I just remembered the video. It took me 4 hours of searching my like- and playlists. And here i am and its still so epic.

[Wagglezzz]

Yo Joe Dart is absolutely ruthless on the bass but Theo independently doing those upbeats on the high hat and maintaining tempo without slipping is very impressive too

[makismakiavelis]

0:52 - 0:56
Nothing says "home/live recording" louder than those low frequencies exciting the snare drum wire and making it vibrate. Love it.
