Scary Pockets should just be called K. Cuz they take the "fun" out of "funk"

I never picked up the connection until later but I dig the stuff with Larry Goldings with both John Scofield and Robben Ford.

they have some moments. They are tight. Sometimes a little too tight. I dislike the clickbaity videos they make that are like what if cover of x but FUNKY, and then the arrangement is usually a little bit hack and not quite funky enough, even though the musicians play well.

We had a discussion of some of that stuff over here as well, as you may recall: KNOWER: funky, quirky electro duo with jazz chops Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi

Scary Pockets manages to be worse than Pomplamoose somehow. And here they are.. featuring Joe Bonamassa!

that is awful but it's a different vibe from pomplamoose, less cutesy and more berklee
― na (NA), Monday, 1 May 2023 13:18 (eleven months ago) link
yeah true. There's something that really bothers me about the way they manage to play funk exactly "right" and it still doesn't sound funky at all, like an uncanny valley thing.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Monday, 1 May 2023 19:03 (eleven months ago) link
Scary Pockets is a bad vibe for sure, like a much smarmier Vulfpeck (they make me appreciate Vulfpeck more on every level fr).
I guess it's a net good that they've presumably introduced many people to the tasteful genius of Larry Goldings.

Is all their stuff covers(??)

it says right in the description that it's a cover band with a rotating cast of guest musicians so...
― mh, Monday, 1 May 2023 19:53 (eleven months ago) link
Sorry - not sure where that description is, I was looking at their catalog in Spotify.

― mh, Monday, 1 May 2023 20:52 (eleven months ago) link
I was interested in hearing this uncanny-valley funk, but less so when I realized they're cover albums with titles like Stank Face.
― Are You There God? It's a-Me, Mario (morrisp), Monday, 1 May 2023 21:06 (eleven months ago) link
"Uncanny valley" probably gives it too much credit. It's not uncanny in any interesting sense. They kind of subtly have the vibe of a kids' band though. Jack has a lot to do with that.
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:12 (eleven months ago) link
I mean it's like the least "stank" it could possibly get
― longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:13 (eleven months ago) link
makes sense
at its root the pomplamoose stuff is an exercise in competence, it's just so dry to me. you could maybe do something interesting with that by taking it in weird directions but there's no weird there
which makes it a bizarre approach to play funk covers
― mh, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:20 (eleven months ago) link
'haha we are playing funk, chortle'
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:41 (eleven months ago) link
yeah, that too!
― mh, Tuesday, 2 May 2023 15:42 (eleven months ago) link
Yeah as Jordan pointed out even Vulfpeck are charming by comparison, because at least they have this geeky obsessiveness that gets taken to extremes.
