“It’s probably safe to assume at this point that no other band today can offer what Kneebody delivered at the Blue Whale on Friday night.” - Los Angeles Times
The men of Kneebody have been disrupting the jazz scene since the early 2000s. Their blend of jazz, rock, funk and electronica is uncompromising, virtuosic and explosive. With their unique approach - including live effects and an almost telepathic group dynamic - they take you on a rollercoaster ride of grooves and surprises.
Grammy-nominated Kneebody is often compared to The Bad Plus or Snarky Puppy, but is more radical, ragged and unpredictable. Formed in Los Angeles, the band became a live sensation, collaborating with the likes of Theo Bleckmann and Daedelus. After a hiatus, Kneebody is back as a quartet, hungrier than ever.
