Thundercat: dressed up for the 21st century

The Brainfeeder label juggles the hippest musicians around. The king of experimental electronica Flying Lotus, for example, but they also promote the colourful Stephen Bruner AKA Thundercat, whose musical output blends seventies funk, electronica, funk, jazz, and prog. Just think of audacity of the type Herbie Hancock exhibited in the 1970s, but now dressed up for the 21^st century.

Thundercat himself is a bassist, and strums the bass strings for various people, including Flying Lotus, who co-produced his debut The Golden Age of Apocalypse, Erykah Badu, and Suicidal Tendencies, and has even performed with bass legend Stanley Clarke, so his bass hum is nice and deep. The soul innovator from LA is coming to present his new, cosmic album Apocalypse, another collaboration with Flying Lotus, at the VK*. Bring your most colourful Native American outfit and miaow.
