Jack's sportsmanship is amazing. He knows what he's doing when he plays, but he puts an equal amount of zeal in cheering on his band mates and just jamming to what they're playing. It's so much fun to watch.
Daaamn, Mr. Dart got that Fender squawkin'!!! His style is so classic, one could even say minimalist, but his finesse is what makes it unforgettable. That dude was born to play the funky bass.
I just love how unpretentious and chill these guys are. Great vibes. Everyone has their turn to shine as a musician, no attitude just pure jammin and soul
It makes me upset. I love this band, but I’ve spent my entire 20 life cycle so far trying to find people who want to do something similar, to no avail. Not one single musician I encountered wants to do anything interesting. I’ve been playing my ass off since I was born. I’m not good at anything else. I do it cause I love to play, I don’t care if I get popular. Everyone told me I was doing the right thing growing up. I was hailed as a “genius”. I hate it, because now that I’m an adult everyone expects me to get a 9 to 5. I’ve had many 9 to 5s. I was the youngest person in my neighborhood with a job. I hate being employed by a company tho. Every time I try to get my life “in shape” it means I have to give up music. But I hate the way that feels, and then everyone’s like “noooo stay with your music!” so I always go back to just playing. But then I’m broke, homeless, & I scare people. People think I’m insane. And then they start going “you need to be more responsible”.

Got mine on a weird pandora channel i made up - this appeared and i was like that's pretty fuckin cool so let's do more. it does help a bit with stress, i can tell you whut
Saw the fearless flyers video in my facebook feed, couldn't believe it was a 2018 band, then I went on youtube to check more FF videos, and now I live on the vulfpeck youtube page.
The absolute talent that this video portrays is unbelievable - Jack with his claps, Joe with his wet fingers, and Theo actually smashing the drums. Can't forget about Woody and his ghost notes. Awesome
So it's gotta be: A BASS A BASS A Bridge A BASS A Bridge I actually think it's so cool that they show this even just for a second. They obviously know the parts, but it's good to have a form chart to keep track of where you're going.
I thought I was safe, but scrambled my eggs right out of the bowl listening to these cats...if this is the shape of Jazz to come, count me in... super energy...Kudos.
I know my bassists from the Jazz greats, heavy metal speed bassists and lots of funk legends. Joe is just simply the best bass player I have ever seen.
Aweeesomme!! Check out their other vids too... the cowbell player is an ace Rhodes player... and the drummer plays guitar... and the Rhodes player is the drummer... and they still groove as good as that
my dad is a teacher at multiple conservatories and a jazz trumpet player for the US Army Blues; and one thing I can say is u guys restore my faith in modern music :)
I already had an afro, so after one listening, I magically developed a Jeri curl...going shopping for new shirts today, as the shirt I was wearing has drip juice stains on the back. Music was so funky that even the shirts in my closet got drip juice stains, b/c of the level of funkiness. The struggle is real...funk doing some strange thangs out here.
Une connaissance vient de me montrer ce que vous faites, j'ai accroché directement. Ca joue de la vraie musique, ça déploie du motif, c'est talentueux, c'est à la fois sobre et capable de rentrer dans les notes. Bravo ! La batterie cheap m'a fait rire, ceci dit le jeu est propre. Le bassiste est doué. Vous êtes tous bons, continuez sans limite !
my favorite part about this is the keyboardist is just as hype over Joe Dart's playing that he stands and just starts clapping and moving his body in awe. He wants the sexy funk as much as we do.
I have no idea how I never found you guys out any earlier... you are brilliant. There is SO MUCH GROOVE in this stuff, it's crazy, I'm smiling ear to ear. Please keep it up :)
The restraint shown by cowbell guy is inspiring.
"This is just the right amount of cowbell."
no, needs moar cowbell
WOODY GOSS ON THE SUFFICIENT COWBELL
@@SchlumberttheHumble The adequate cowbell?
@@adrien5834 yeah, the cowbell that fulfils the cowbell quota

Incredible ghost notes. I'm talking, of course, about the cowbell player.
Lolllll, you win
SockLeg Woody Gods man. Legendary on the cowbell.
Nobody plays air cowbell better than that guy
IT'S OK. Really how many people can keep up with these folks.
@@dannnmerkle7930 I mean.... the cowbell player can. Hes one of the only 4 members in the band.
took me 6 years of practice, but I think I've finally nailed that cowbell part
no sht
Everyone's talking about the cowbell, but you've never seen a drummer work the entire drumstick like Theo Katzman on that hi-hat.

dont do woody like that
The moment when cowbell guy wrote almost all of the music and started the band.

the shy smile that joe gives the rest of the band at 4:26 after he shredded like no tomorrow is insane. msg only 8 years later. bonkers.
It's funny how as you go back to their earlier videos the video quality is LESS grainy.
Vulfpeck - the Benjamin Button of faux german late 20th century rhythm section style bands
also the only faux german late 20th century rhythm section style band
But their audio quality gets worse when you go to their older videos
@@displaychicken nah they're probably avoiding you cause you're a douche
@@displaychicken Your neighbors just need to understand the Gospel of Joe Dart.
Laurens Houweling thank you for the kind words.

I didnt recognize dart till he started moving his neck
He’s really playing two instruments
IKR? And no shades!! I finally know what he looks like...
No shades lol, i thought it was an entirely different dude.
Signature neck
he was 19 here so you know he looked a lot different
Daaamn, Mr. Dart got that Fender squawkin'!!! His style is so classic, one could even say minimalist, but his finesse is what makes it unforgettable. That dude was born to play the funky bass.
Joshualbatross Squier, actually!
The best players know exactly when not to play.
@@davidpeters44even when the song is about you… the song isn’t about you.
the sped up solo from 4:30 is how joe dart plays this solo live now. incredible
2:18 is the exact moment Joe Dart lost control of his neck muscles and the funk took over
It's all been uphill from there
Man that guy on cowbells is laying down the shit... now if lunchbox on bass would just stop slacking
lunchbox Hahah
C Kurtis lunchbox?
talk shit post riff
C Kurtis she the fuck up loser
Billy Popfinger lol he’s obviously joking
I just love how unpretentious and chill these guys are. Great vibes. Everyone has their turn to shine as a musician, no attitude just pure jammin and soul
YOU ARE THE BAND I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!!! exactly what we need more of these days. thanks for bringing back the funk.

jacksfilms is really good at drums
*OH MY GOOOOOOO-*
CHRIS WASSUP

never mind jacksfilms on drums, what about pre-drugs pete davidson on bass?
lmao even his forehead is on point like jack
I dont even know how I discovered these guys but holy crap am I glad I did
I was recommended them by a friend (music colleague).
me neither, I did not know they existed at all and nobody told me
it just spawned on next to a youtube video
Got mine on a weird pandora channel i made up - this appeared and i was like that's pretty fuckin cool so let's do more. it does help a bit with stress, i can tell you whut

Depressing trivia: Joe was 19 when this came out.
why was it depressing tho
@@mafirasyaharani7836 Because he is 83 now.

It’s funny how Woody is the only one whose look hasn’t really changed
Love Theo's faces whenever he plays music. He's so into it, I love it.
Damn, I've discovered this band yesterday, at least 9 years too late
You and me both dude, in this case though very much better late than never.
Same
Same here! Discovered them over the fall this year.
it's never too late if you've discovered them

4:08-4:11 name a more important moment in music history. I’ll wait.
We Outchea i still can’t find one

4:30 is the band playing in real time, the first part of the video is slowed down for us mortals
Q: who's your favourite bassist and why is it joe dart?
A: beastly
Asriel809 and Dean Town, holy shit lol.
YESSS Dean Town too
Sky mall
How about Michael League of Snarky Puppy?
crandall2190 wrong answer
I could, can, and do sit around watching Vulf videos for hours. You guys are better than anything on television. Please post daily.
Because of Fender bass, i am now saving enough to buy a Joe Dart
i really dig how tight the drummer's groove is! and that bass solo at the beginning was really articulate.
I know my bassists from the Jazz greats, heavy metal speed bassists and lots of funk legends. Joe is just simply the best bass player I have ever seen.
Aweeesomme!! Check out their other vids too... the cowbell player is an ace Rhodes player... and the drummer plays guitar... and the Rhodes player is the drummer... and they still groove as good as that
pocket so deep i lost my wallet
ahahaha great one!
Did you check your back pocket?
ahahaha :D
Sure can hold a groove tho
🤣🤣🤣
😍
@Davis Schulz: You too do amazing work (got to know you through Marti Fischer and Fewjar)
Dude, how is the bassist getting that tone? GAH! It's so smooth.
flatwounds and a tonne of Compression
I've been using some compression on the bass and it really does make the tone a bit beastly.
Alexander Vang the bass looks like it has a jazzbass pickup near the bridge but it is a foam mute!
i thought he said he used roundwounds
He does in skymall, but these are flats
every time the bass takes a solo it reminds me of when pacman eats a special ball
Power up!
THIS!!!
go home, RUclips; this is the best comment; it's all downhill from here
3:12 Joe nails all four ghosts and the melon fruit for 3000 points.
I love how all their videos are just them jamming.
Not too often now a days a band can write so many songs around a good bass line and bassist.
This is one of my favorite grooves of theirs. I also love theo's drumming style.
I work out in Ann Arbor where these guys are from and I gotta say, this song feels like the soundtrack to the city.
Woody is the only one who didn't thoroughly redo his musician persona aesthetic after this video lmao
4:08 Jack suffocating in all the funk
my dad is a teacher at multiple conservatories and a jazz trumpet player for the US Army Blues; and one thing I can say is u guys restore my faith in modern music :)
So funky i grew an afro
lawl
I already had an afro, so after one listening, I magically developed a Jeri curl...going shopping for new shirts today, as the shirt I was wearing has drip juice stains on the back. Music was so funky that even the shirts in my closet got drip juice stains, b/c of the level of funkiness. The struggle is real...funk doing some strange thangs out here.
So groovy... that the ants in my room ate my food... to the beat.
So this might be a cure for baldness?
What ??
The music makes me feel like i just bought some new kicks and I'm strutting down high street looking smelling feel in like a million bucks
So smooth, so cool, is like a vanilla milkshake for the senses 🎹🎸📻
Like that scene in Spider-Man 3 but hopefully less cringey
dude on cowbells is epic
***** link?
***** thanks!
yeah! watch this song called Barbara, the same situation xD
plays like 1 note for every 10 ghost strokes
LoupiTheMightyCucco WOODY TFW
I couldn't resist dancing at my cubicle while listening to this. Thanks for the promotion, Vulfpeck.
This drummer needs more recognition, He killed it!!
Theo gets all the attention
The pure essence of music. It has no references, it is self-referential. It needs nothing. It explains itself. You are geniuses
There is permanent tension, that he'll finally hit this cowbell :D
Best bass playing I have heard in quite a while! Love these musicians
The sound of the fender rhodes is so exquisite and sexy!!
I just love how Joe plays this amazing main riff between those fills...
that bassline was smoother than a baby's bottom.
Brian McAdams even smoother than the inside
@@gameonegreg 😳
@@gameonegreg yes officer this comment right here
We need more music like this in the world. Fantastic grooves.
These guys are cool in such a weird way...
you really need to get out more
These guys are weird in such a cool way...
It's called... Funky ;)
Squeaky300 Are you saying these guys arent cool or that thinking theyre cool in a weird way is dumb?
Will Jamerson 😍😍
They all make it look so damned easy to make wonderful music together. Genius.
Finally a band that understands that the bass is something great.
Recorded 10 years ago today... Thanks for the music, Vulf
Wow, this just turned my day on it's head. Smiles all round!
I now have a new favorite band! Vulfpeck you guys are awesome.
Really reminds me of The Meters, what a sound!

Vulfpeck make me feel glad I'm alive, and in these dark times that's sayin' something !
This is just really pleasing to the ears and really smooth to listen to.
I have a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell.
This is far from my favourite Vulf song but I'm consistently watching the video because seeing Stratton get excited fills my heart
50 people are mad because they are deaf and will never know the joy's of this soulful song.
I have just found these guys, and I can't get over how cool this music is! Instant fan
Holy shit! How did I not know about this?
Comrad Will Just said the exact same thing
my favorite part is how much jack is rocking with it the whole time, dude is hopping around in excitement
Are you good at bass? 1:03
not gonna lie, this got a lol out of me
Me too!
jayhrod26 No.
lmao
Meh....he’s OK I suppose.
I dig that you guys just kept the take and didn't redo redo the ending. It ended perfectly. Freakin' awesome.

for all of you drummers saying to yourself, "man, i'm just as good as that guy" you don't get it.
I have tickets to see these guys play in an hour but I can't stop watching these beautiful videos!
Holy crap!!! I can see Joe's eyes!!!
The bass playing put chills down my spine. Raw, heady, superb.
start: 0:15
first solo: 0:41
second solo: 1:29
bridge: 2:18
third solo: 3:08
outro: 3:57
I thank my stars I found these guys back in the day. Breathed fresh air into the funk genre.
In these troubled times, only Joe can save us.
This song is one my alltime favourites! And I love that child drumkit!
2:05 Cool shot, you can see the keys in Jacks glasses! :)
absolutely stunning. thanks for bringing back the funk.
back for the fifth time since I discovered these guys yesterday :)
Simply a piece of art.
Man, that's dedication to play it again, 50x faster just for a end card
I really like how they recorded this in what could be the worst possible situation for recording music in, and it sounds fucking amazing.
But really??! WHAT is that bass doing that's making my face all ugly right now? God damn...
+Jason Johnson hahaha scrunching it up.
+Ash Hudson 1:03
+Ash Hudson It is emitting mass amounts of funk at such a level that induces face melting.
Lost Sun My face has recovered now, but I am tempted to push that play button again
Today I struck gold! Im in heaven. Glad to be here.
if you are still here watching in 2021, you are the kind of people I want in my life! 😁
This guy is!
The ending is amazing
Pure gold!
Agreed! ✅
Beastin'!!!! y'all sick on those instruments!!! Love it
Greatest band ever. Fight me.
All hail Joey Dart.
You guys are the best. Seriously a pleasure to behold
