Old
Bob Schneider - Big Blue Sea off his 2001 album Lonelyland
My favorite Bob Schneider songs have a funk inspiration behind them. He uses trumpets and hip hop lyrical rhythm to supplement his singer/songwriter side. I saw him in concert a little over a year ago, and it was a great show. He got everyone up and dancing when with his salsa and funk songs ("Bombonaza", "Tarantula") and then brought it back to chill with his ballads like "Changing My Mind." Plus he had a forty plus year old man playing trumpet in a pink bunny suit for the entire show. Big Blue Sea is from his first album and it's got a slight bit of funk at it's beachy core.
New
Fang Island - Life Coach, off of their self titled 2010 debut album.
I just heard of these guys while looking through SXSW artists. They are from Brooklyn and
they describe their mission as making music that sounds like "everyone high-fiving everyone." At this point I don't know them very well, but that sounds like fun. Happy Friday.
