Man you have to check this band out - Postmodern Jukebox

All the thousands of people that read my blog know that primarily it is about the local Politics and many of you will know I have a real passion for Music too, having studied Jazz, Contemporary and Popular Music at Music College studying the trumpet and flugel horn. I know that we all see the top bands on the TV's and radio that are pushed by the record companies but I know a lot more of bands out there which are incredibly good.

One such band is Postmodern Jukebox. The band is lead by Scott Bradlee. He is not only leading a great band but making a great brand as well. They tour around the world extensivly and are coming to the UK next month. Trust me if you get to one of their gigs you will not be disappointted.

One great thing about Scott and the band is they take popular tunes and songs that you will have heard off and then sprinkle their magic on them and turn them into great version. Below is one such tune It's all about the bass. Have a look. As you will see it is not only a great version but all the band members are digging it and getting into it. " bass players playing the bass at the same time doing a duet. Amazing. 3 great singers that have great versatile tones and each bring their own magic to it. Their version of this song has an incredible spell on it that makes you want to watch more and more.

See told you want to watch more...lol.

So there are bands out there that do a great song and live of that one song but no not this one. There is so many videos and I know when I shared this video on my facebook site so many people got in touch and said who is this band where can I get more. This is one of the reason for writing this blog post as people form all ages love this band.

Something that I am sure that many people can connect with is when they were in secondary school and music lessons and for those that were given the tambourine just stood there bored and thinking I want this to end tapping it. Or it could have been another similar instrument. But just watch this next video -what energy! It shows how this Band Leader  - Scott Bradlee - can pick great musicians.

If you watch a number of these videos you see the band members change regular and this is an unbelievable quality of him to be able to do this. Band members and musicians and keep swapping will bring challenges of it's own so with him doing this so welll it shows one of his great qualities.

But back to this video and not only is it an incredible song and version but shows how they can have fun playing their music and this makes the shows mesmerising.  Anyway have a look at this second video.

My last example is the great song by the stunning musician known as Prince called Purple rain. For me there are certain songs that a legendary and should not be covered as they are very hard to try and get close to and also they should be untouchable. Purple Rain is one of those songs but just look at how Scott makes this song simple with a singer and himself and yet again he gets another marvelous singer that does this song proud. It does the song proud. Magical !

You can see why Postmodern Jukebox has millions of views on their videos and follows around the world and also growing too. So go buy their songs and even better go and see one of their great shows you will glad you have. A graet night out listening to great musicians and live music. Can't beat it !

These are just 3 videos but go and check their website and youtube page out and see more, you will not be disappointed.
