  1. Yes! I discovered them recently as well, and I think it's some brilliantly refreshing stuff. Not often you find original dual-keyboardist instrumental bands.
  2. I was so very sad when I heard this. Unmatched in his style on the keys and in his voice. RIP Mac.
  3. I'm late to this thread, but I just saw Snarky with a couple of my bandmates in Milwaukee (5/23). What a stunner show - killed it the whole way through, and as a keyboardist, getting to see a Bobby Clavinet and Organ solo, a Shaun Martin Moog solo, and a Justin Staton Rhodes/Prophet 6 solo was mind-blowing. Alina Engibaryan (GroudUp Artist, opening act) was amazing as well. After the show, we headed to where the band was supposedly gonna stop by the merch table. Not only did we get to meet most of them, get pictures, and such (they really are as nice as everyone says they are - some of the humblest musicians I've seen), but before signing a copy of our CD, Michael League asked if we could sign one for them(!!!)... Of course, I didn't want to immediately assume I'm supposed to sign my album for THE Snarky Puppy (my band and I are only high school students, after all), so I said something like "We'll get there someday!" and I will never forget - Michael just goes "Yeah... Today." and puts our CD down with a pen in front of us. Such awesome people, such awesome musicians, and I really look forward to seeing them again as soon as I can.
  4. This sounds amazing! Kinda funky, kinda, spacey, pretty prog. Not to mention all those sweet keyboards (and pedals). I love it - subscribed!
  5. I've managed the band that I started a year-ish ago from day one. Everybody gets a say in almost every decision, but since as a group we're all pretty flexible/indecisive, I make most of the calls for the band... All the emails, phone calls, setlists, itineraries, rehearsal schedulings, etc. As @Outkaster said above, I love the hustle of it. It can be exhausting, but in a good way... More like exhilaration. After spending a few years being in various other projects, it's *really* cool to be able to lead my own group, see our creations come to life, and most importantly - see that everyone else is enjoying it as much as I am! Of course, every band is going to be different, and have different requirements from the leader. It should also be noted that my band is all of high-school age members, so perhaps my situation doesn't really pertain to yours (or anyone else reading this), but I'd be more than happy to answer any questions!
