Photograph Link LIVE REVIEW - Sophie was at The Royal Albert Hall to see 'Snarky Puppy' for Phacemag & didn't really know what to expect! Whilst best-enjoyed by those with the acquired taste, their performance at the Royal Albert Hall certainly showcased an abundance of musical skill, with the majority of the band’s many performers being allowed to shine with spot-lit solo-moments. Furthermore, it was heart-warming to hear the band’s lead, Michael League, talk about their humble beginnings in the UK, being recognised by an English fan for the first time, and how their journey has led them to this moment: performing in one of the UK’s most iconic, beautiful, and treasured venues (with a 5,000 capacity!).
Modest Mouse continue to add to their series of new music installments with today’s release of the tripped out dreamscape, “Ice Cream Party.” The single is accompanied by an equally mesmerizing visual, full of balloon animals and, naturally, lots of ice cream.
