Same man. Louis Cole is a criminally underrated drummer too. He's so far on top of the beat that everything he plays has this almost frantic energy to it, but is also the closest to a drum machine I've ever heard a real human being sound. Not to mention his sheer chops.
It´s been 5 years that this video keeps appearing on my suggestions. Every time i rewatch this one and the other videos from this serie. Please consider a like for every time.
Sam Wilkes turns up in some interesting places. Scary Pockets, Pomplamoose and others. Apart from his Bass Face, his footwear is often a subject of conversation.
I think the whole idea of cramming the band into a kitchen-dining area of a house, knocking on the window for a cut-off and wearing some humorous outfits adds to the charm immensely. Also, personal acknowledgement with photos at the end of the video is a nice touch. Well done, kids!
@@PhatTrumpet2 just cause a person calls them "kids" doesn't mean its somebodys parent. I call teenagers kids. Hell I consider myself a kid (i'm 25). The original commenter is most likely older than them and calling them kids cause they are young.
I wish Spotify said how many times I listen to songs, because Louis Cole has gotten more playtime in the last 2 months since I first heard him that most other music!
It's good, that I love practising scales and arpeggios on the flute but sure wish I had octave buttons. The dishwasher must have been doing overtime, 'cause nothing was out of sync (sink). The organ-stand was obviously facing the wrong way.
I would just like to say, almost two years after this video dropped, that the zoom in on that girl's Guitar Center jacket is one of the hardest trolls I've seen since.
You know musicians are hot shit when a live session recording of a song blows the studio version out of the water. Not many artists can do this, but these people aced it
Sitting at home, self quarantine during the Corona crisis In The Netherlads, seeing this put a big big smile on my face. Sorry Louis, never heard of you before today. But as of now I'm a fan!
@J N I'd say cole is already at a point at which i wouldnt put people abouve at.. that top level that Weckl, Donati and Lang are in.. thanks for the link tho sick solo!!
@J N Wie gesagt, ab einem bestimmtem level halte ich es nicht mehr für gerecht, einen Drummer über den anderen zu stellen - aber das ist nur meine Perspektive.
This is SOOO fantastic. As a somewhat older muso type, hearing such talented youngsters sound SOOO great is just beautiful. My faith in humanity and the future of music is restored thanks to cats like Cole and co. Thank you SOOO much for this beautiful music, you beautiful people.
It’s not hard to find new great funk / jazz / whatever you like to listen to, seems like people are just lazy and would prefer to reminisce the old times
THE GENIUS OF THE MUSIC OF THIS CENTURY! In Argentina we love him ... He is the influence of great bands, like "Octafonic" and "La rueda o el barco" ... I hope he comes for soon!
Just spotted the few graphical overlays that occur from 3:50...the snorkel, the little dude crawling across the ceiling, the picture of Louis on the wall. There's probably more that I missed. Genius!
(Base X) bass or the melon? lol does he even play bass? i figured it out unfortunately...he replied to an elon musk tweet and the quote tweets were just “shut up melon boy” lol
Mine too. But was hoping a fuller version would be more like the original. This is still a great rendition I listen to a lot, but the horns don't really fit the original vibe, including the sax solo.
The problem with LC is that I'm instantly convinced every track he puts out is the best thing he's ever done. I watch all his clips obsessively, loving them all. And maybe this one is top of the pile? (yeah I'll change my mind next week).
3:54 Badinerie is like the last thing I would expect being used in a sax-solo in a song by Knower, but somehow it fits xD Is Badinerie the new "Lick"?? Genius!...
@@crownr0yalonice Yup!... I saw her credited at the end of the video... She's one of my favorite singers these days... She's got this "Michael Franks" kind of thing that I just love...
And not only her, there´s also Moonchild´s keyboard-,trumpet- and basically everything-player, the very talented Andris Mattson on Trumpet in the back :)
Jacob Mann's keyboard solo at 2:33 is still the funkiest thing I've ever heard. Even though it's less than 20 seconds long, it will get stuck in my head for entire days on end. I wish I could play like that.
The set of this video is so bizarrely setup, yet it compliments the fantastic tunes do freakin well. Porch singers? Stair drumkit? STOVE KEYBOARD? I love it.
Thanks Louis for making me go thru musical withdrawals when I don't listen to every song you've live banded every day I swear he's researched the tonal ranges/time signatures/keys/harmonies/BPM/Syncopation/vocals/arrangements/and live band combos for the optimal effectiveness of human musical addiction and combined all of these in every song he's produced...
theres so much goin on in this video, but i watch it over and over to see Gen dance........woof...... natural beauty galore and thanx for wishing me a happy birthday
I just love this so much! Dang! Everything about this, I just love; the music of course, but... they put this whole thing together and pulled it off! A house crammed with super talented folks, every room, kitchen, bathroom hall... all miked-up, all well rehearsed and on board with the project, and happy. This Louis Cole is more than just a musician/artist; the logistical details here are to be respected too! Super joyous and fun!
This guy and all of 'em are simply over the top!. ...And I am 50 years old Eeeeeeeeeeeeek! LOL. Loved them. Young generations really kick some serious ass. Love them and God bless them. I wish them all, all the success they truly deserve. Love Carus Alambra ;-) PS. If this is a compliment and I hope it will be, Louis Cole has the same incredible potentials as Gregg Diamond had, as an incredible multi-instrumentalist muso and a Great producer he was in the '70's underground Disco era.
@@dclarkmusic yeah, I assume that's why he did it. A lot of live performances change to lower keys for this reason, and I'm guilty of this as well. I had to change the key of a song i wrote, because my vocal chords couldn't handle some of the ambitious high notes
I can’t stop listening to Louis Cole. This song in particular for some funky reason. Sharing, purchasing and preaching the good word of KNOWER and Louis Cole.
Still listening to this in 2024 🔥💪🏾 the pocket/groove is ridiculous 🔒🔒🔒👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

Thats that stank face
brilliant description my god
Sam Wilkes turns up in some interesting places. Scary Pockets, Pomplamoose and others. Apart from his Bass Face, his footwear is often a subject of conversation.
Wilkes doesn’t actually know how to play bass.
He just let’s the funk gods take over his arms and he lets them do their thing.
He's jamming up a storm
Find someone who loves you like Sam Wilkes loves the groove
lol best, and only acceptable, version of this I've heard
i dream of the day someone looks at me like sam wilkes looks at the groove
I'll settle for someone who loves Sam Wilkes
Sam Wilkes says : "groove"
Well that's _one_ way to limit Earth's population.
3:43 Wladimir Putin is such an underrated drummer
Lmao
Dude you dont know just how funny that comment is. But damn this is goooooood

Who do I thank for this showing up in my feed????
This is actually the last live session we're going to see in this house because that sax solo caused a house fire
free eletric wires on the wall too. Not very secure :)
Damn Louis Cole these live sessions are the shit! I'm feeling the hell out of this version of Thinking.
This guy is gonna come back to his house and be confused as hell why people wanna book it to record.
Ben Wendell 🔥🔥🔥
Naw, there was a guardian angel in the back protecting them from the fire.
Anyone else addicted to his music ?
yeeeeeeeeep!!!
me.
no just you
Been singing this song in my head while sleeping. Talk about addiction...
I wish Spotify said how many times I listen to songs, because Louis Cole has gotten more playtime in the last 2 months since I first heard him that most other music!
1:35 always find it best to wash utensils in the kitchen synth.
Let's just say I skipped all comments looking for yours. As usual, you never disappoint. ;-)
Dry thoroughly in a warm oven before applying power
Need to give you an over-the-internet high five for this Comment. *high fives enthusiastically*
Juno best :-)
HA!
Sam is a precious bass player. Protect him at all costs!
Awesome. Thank you neighbors & Genevive.
I feel like this setup could make a great sitcom about the weirdest share house in the world.
Louis Cole, just go with this. I would preorder a bluray series box set with complimentary unreleased Clown Core basement single.
Tight
It's got a "Too Many Cooks" vibe
You should see the one in New York!
Adult Swim would so fucking pick that up
reginald I disagree
Every new live session it seems Sam Wilkes has more and more fun each time and I love it
goodest BOI
Sam Wilkes is my spirit animal.
It is said that Sam Wilkes is composed about 91% of fun-funk-material, the 9% left is water.
One's practicing, studying, inversions, arpeggios, technique, stuff... AND HE JUST PUSHES THE OCTAVE BUTTONS!! A -Fkin-MAZING!!!

You know musicians are hot shit when a live session recording of a song blows the studio version out of the water. Not many artists can do this, but these people aced it
Just beginning to come to the same conclusion: While I love the studio versions, these "live sesh" vids are way more vibrant and ... alive!

same here

100% same here. Started going down the rabbit hole after hearing KNOWER in GTAV 2 days ago --- amazing!

Wonderful comment.

Classiest keyboard stand ever.
More pert than classy.....:D
Feel like it was copied from Chromeo or Tiga and jori hulkkonen' live set up.
@@troyspartan992 What are their set ups? The same?
That bass is just insane
I’ve listened to this song about a million times and I just gotta say, that bass line is so good I’m pretty sure that it could cure cancer
I had the fortune to stumble across louis cole a few month ago and haven't stopped listening since. A fabulous musician
You just want to feel his muscles
@@JimB0802 he hasn't any muscles 🤣🤣🤣💪👊👍
And on the 8th day, God said, "Let there be funk."
On the 9th, he said let there be drums, and so that drums should not be alone, he created reverb.
I'm pretty sure funk is the devil's music
Do you think when you get to heaven Sam Wilkes is just sitting on the stairs running sick bass lines for the angels?
I sure hope so :)
Yeah probably
If that's not the case, I don't wanna go there.
Louis is the unexpected gift no one wanted but is SOOOOOOOOOOOOO glad we got. His music is so simple yet so otherworldly. I likes it.
There's a huge amount of complexity underlying the surface simplicity.
Simple?
Being a drummer for Louis Cole, what a dream that would be
Extraordinary ✨
Love how Genevive and the girls in the background dancing like Vice City npc’s
I was thinking they were dancing like npcs from Yakuza zero hahaha
What's with the eagle swoop behind them at 1:01 ?!!

The wealth of talent gathered together for this track is truly Galactic
Superb. That there is the funk!⭐️😁

This might be one of my favorite pieces of art of all time
Every time I watch again this video I find something new :D
The bass run @3:45 took me right out. I gotta listen 30 more times!
Sam is a beast for sure
By all means... but you'll be best served just absorbing the entirety of his melodic funkiness.
mhmm that circle of funky fifths is wild there
1:48 is COOL too!
I am wondering also. Love his playing, but where is the distinctive part at 3:45? I feel stupid against all these jazz scholars.
Is that Amber Navran from Moonchild on Flute? Love Moonchild!

It's unbelievable how it sounds so good given the recording setup.
Such an amazing song and props to the girl in the middle with the mannequin arms for hanging in there with the dancing

Absolutely phenomenal. Performance, composition everything. This track is a reason to get out of bed in the morning.
