![]() The arrogance of your post just makes my jaw drop. But you caught my attention with this one. I try to stay out of these mindless conversations, since it's so utterly pointless. You're the perfect example of what Louis C.K. But please, don't go around acting like they owe you a god damned thing. What you and your ilk need to understand is that they don't owe you anything. Your post reeks of the usual bitterness associated with these forums. If you want anything else than what they are offering you, FOR FREE, why don't you go somewhere else? Oh, the utter arrogance of that statement. what else do you have for us besides your over the top highly arranged worked out and rehearsed versions of american pop tunes?" ![]() They love what they do, and they're utterly humble about it.īut here comes another forum hero, a champion for all that is true, good, and tasteful, to ask the most important question of all. These guys have spent more time working on their craft as musicians, arrangers and composers than most musicians have spent even listening to music. what else do you have for us besides your over the top highly arranged worked out and rehearsed versions of american pop tunes?Ĭlick to expand.Phew. I believe these guys are all wonderful players, and also have a terrific and solid musical educational background which allows them to mimic the american progressive soul/gospel styles for their approach to these pop tunes!īravo Swede guys! But. The videos are obviously shot with multiple takes and seem professionally edited into a very energetic piece but maintain the look and feel of being shot by someone who is just hanging out in the informal rehearsal space while these guys supposedly MURDER these pop cover tunes with ease! Many of the drums are sampled and the video of the drummer typically only shows him playing small segments of drum fills rather than the entire phrase. Its my feeling that the bassist is the main musical influence of the group, based on some other youtube videos of him, interviews of him, and the obvious visual bias towards showing him in their pop videos. In fact, they sound like your above average college recital ensemble who are merely reading down a not so difficult chart. There is a youtube video of the band playing a live version of Cirkus which doesnt come close to the polished slick sound of their famous pop tune remakes. These guys have a great ability to write very modern soul/gospel/jass fusion style arrangements for popular radio hits. I believe all of the ensemble parts and solos are written out and well rehearsed. I believe they are all lipsyncing their performances from a highly polished professionally recorded and edited session. But I just feel like the videos are produced in a way to exaggerate their whole entertainment package, rather than show the real honest performances. Sure the arrangements are very good, hip and progressive, and the guys all appear to be playing very well in the videos. To me, these guys sound too contrived and worked out. See Jon’s blog, with key takeaways from this interview, here.I'm skeptical of these dirty loop guys and feel they are forced and over the top musically while visually appearing to be just hanging out in the rehearsal space casually playing these tunes. And during their conversation, FBPO also got a first-hand look at some of the Swedish bassist’s innovative techniques. ![]() The band’s success has also led to high-profile tours with David Foster, Andreas Carlsson and Maroon 5.įBPO’s Jon Liebman met up with Linder at this year’s Winter NAMM show in Anaheim, California to discuss the origins of Dirty Loops, bass influences like Flea and Victor Wooten and upcoming projects. Four years later, Dirty Loops released their debut album Loopified, which combined covers with original material and has proved popular with fans in Europe, Japan and the United States. Their first video, a version of Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance,” became an overnight success when in 2010, attracting 100,000 YouTube views within two months of being posted and helping them score a record deal. The band first began attracting attention online with innovative covers of popular songs, which blended elements of jazz, R&B, electronic dance music into their own unique hybrid. His bass-playing helps give the Swedish power trio that special oomph that’s made it so popular with audiences around the world.
