I’m not sure where I came across the Tune-Yards a few weeks ago, but I’ve been digging the new album, Nikki Nack. I just found this clip of a live performance they did for NPR in 2011. I really like the simple and creative on-the-spot loop creation combined with the incredibly rich construction of melodies and harmonies.
Autozamm: You Don’t Know Me
Nothing groundbreaking on the drumming front here, but I’m a sucker for special effects, fight choreography, and the rock and/or roll.
This was apparently shot freeform, then manipulated with a digital video effects product called Twixtor. Cool stuff.
Marty Kane Joins DOT DOT DOT
Chicago-area drummer Marty Kane has joined the rapidly up-and-coming pop band DOT DOT DOT, who just released a new EP titled II.
I know Marty from my days at The Drum Pad, and we started Berklee the same semester. He’s an incredible player, and it’s no surprise he’s doing big things.
Congrats, Marty!
