Thundercat
Einlass 19:00 | Beginn 20:00
Gasometer Wien
Guglgasse 8, 1110 Wien
Following a sold-out four-night residency at London’s KOKO last year, the amazing Thundercat returns with his first original music in two years, “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” and “Children of the Baked Potato” (feat. Remi Wolf), out now via Brainfeeder. The tracks arrive hot on the heels of a brand-new North America and European tour that will also include six headline dates across the UK, including O2 Brixton Academy. ‘Children of the Baked Potato’ premiered earlier today as part of a takeover of Shibuya TV’s massive outdoor screen in Tokyo’s bustling central district plus 42 outdoor screens in Miyashita Park, one of Tokyo’s buzziest urban hangouts with fans invited down to experience it IRL. Thundercat and Remi Wolf also joined Zane Lowe for an interview on Apple Music’s New Music Daily show Listen to “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time” / “Children of the Baked Potato” (feat. Remi Wolf) Thundercat fans can rejoice that they’re getting not one but two offerings from the big bad bassist, both of which feature input from the legendary Greg Kurstin. “I Wish I Didn’t Waste Your Time,” with its relaxed bassline and Thunder’s soft falsetto, taps into the classic Thundercat sound. The riffs, nimble and familiar, are easy to slip into, a welcome return to form from a master at his craft. Meanwhile, “Children of the Baked Potato” invokes a more urgent energy, one where Thunder is matched by Remi Wolf’s commanding wails. The song’s title refers to the legendary hole-in-the-wall jazz club in LA, (which, you guessed it, exclusively serves baked potatoes), and which, for over 50 years, has showcased the best in LA’s jazz scene, fusion greats and studio icons. It is the place to see your favourite musician’s favourite musicians and was a massive influence on Thundercat. “She’s [Remi] a child of the Baked Potato like me,” Thundercat says. “She knew exactly what the song needed. And it was wild to watch her make it happen. The more I listen to the song, it’s clear there was no one better I could have picked.”.
