Hola. Just heard an ad for these guys on spotify and they sound fusiony enough for PA. Hope the myspace is enough for info.

Here's what Wikipedia has to say about them: "Snarky Puppy is a Brooklyn-based instrumental fusion band led by bassist, composer and producer Michael League. Formed in Denton, Texas in 2004, the band features a collective of nearly 30 musicians, referred to as "The Fam" on their recordings and tours. The musicians perform on a variety of instruments including guitars, keyboards, saxophones, brass, percussion and strings. Many of the current and former band members were once students at the University of North Texas. Discography There are seven samples on myspace (see o.p.), the band's website is here: http://www.snarkypuppy.com/, and you'll find a whole bunch of HQ live vids for these guys on YouTube. Here's just five to give you a feel for them: Nice! ![]() Edited by yam yam - March 28 2012 at 16:31 |

I absolutely adore these guys, but I'm not sure this is fusion. I've listened to quite a bit of their stuff and its more a modern bop than a fusion, but I'll take a closer look later today.

It's not either. This is a jazz band, with pop jazz and bebop tendencies. Not fusion.

With respect, it seems to me that you're just throwing words around. A jazz band "with bebop tendencies" is like saying a rock band with post-punk tendencies. It's a subdivision of the same genre. In the end though, it's not very important. It's just really good music, whatever you call it.

Perhaps, but then again that's the entire point of having a site called Prog Archives. It's our 'niche'. If we didn't have that, we'd be just like every other music site out there.....and this is not fusion in the sense of jazz-ROCK fusion.
Experimental doesn't, nor will it ever, equate prog.

And I'm not saying their not good, like David said, I'm saying they're not a fit for PA. I love them and have seen them live a number of times, but they are not fusion.
