Saturday Live

Red Snapper have brewed up a smokey, funky, murky stew combining downtempo, acid jazz, trip hop, dub and Afro jazz, instrumentals and soundtrack sounds, a blend of live instruments and electronics, since 1993. This hour long film shows them playing at the Woodbridge Festival of Arts and Music in Suffolk a few years ago, long and deep grooves with instruments and sounds flying off all over the place. 

The group are about to release a live album and are touring the UK to support it. Live At The Moth Club comes out next Friday with the single The Sleepless out now ahead of it, recorded live back in May 2022 in Hackney. Joined by MC Det on vocals, The Sleepless is all loose drums, warped double bass, sax and liquid guitar lines.

The Sleepless originally came out in 1995 on their EP for Warp, the classic Reeled And Skinned. A month before this new live version of The Sleepless, Red Snapper released Suckerpunch, a set closer with clipped guitar and massive sounding Rich Thair drums, Ali Friend's bass causing all sorts of rhythmic madness as David Ayer's guitar solo spirals higher and higher, MC Det's voice echoing into the room. Live At The Moth Club can be ordered here.
