The funky groove of Thundercat Thundercat is the vocalist/bass player from L.A and his band kills it in the groovy funk department. Thundercat (Stephen Bruner) has a great stage presence and is currently touring with drummer (Justin Brown) who is on another level. This BBC show was a great one, and I have linked to one of their tracks from the newest album. Enjoy!! (BBC video has been pulled, but I found another great live version of this track) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-mHCePti-U {edited for correction} Last edited by jamfan2005 on Wed Oct 25, 2017 03:37; edited 2 times in total

I tried Thundercat. I just couldn't get into it, Must be sth wrong with me. Millions swear by him. And critics too. I just find his stuff a bit... Floaty?? It's kinda dreamy and quite easy to listen to but I just don't find it has much.. Punch? Impact? Feel free to link me youtube to prove me wrong! _________________ Check out my YouTube and SoundCloud accounts for some mostly experimental quai re-makes (WIP) www.youtube.com/SkillipEvolver Www.soundcloud.com/SkillipEvolver

You're not wrong. His music is pretty simple. Some of his tracks are solid. His albums are hit & miss.

The main issue is how repetitive his songs become because he sings them all with the same falsetto affected voice. He is not a great singer.
