Looking for the name of a band.

[FastEddy]

I was watching HD Net last night and were playing the best of the Jammies.
When I turned it on there was a great band playing but they didn't show the name after they were done.

The most noticeable thing about them was the base player. He played an electric stand-up and he was wearing a Pig Mask. There was an Asian lady with some kind of Asian instrument as well. They were jamming on a song that was (Some lady's Name) Diner. Rosie's Diner?

I would love to get some of their music if I could find out who they are.

HELP!!!

The only guy I know that wears a pig mask while playing bass is Pig Benis from Mushroomhead.

 

[FastEddy]

No, Not them.
These guys were more modern Jazz.
Dont think Mushroom heads fall into that category.

 

[NCNitro]

Is this who you saw? The guy in the mask is Les Claypool from Primus. IMO one of the best rock bass players ever!

 

[Buggyracer28]

Pig Benis from Mushroomhead.

hahah thats a funny name. :LoL:

Here Ed, check out this article. If it is him, the name of his new band is Les Claypool's fearless flying frog brigade. But right in this article it says he came out on stage in a pig mask and played an electric stand up bass, so I'm guessing it just may be what you are looking for.

Pig Benis from Mushroomhead.

Can't help but wonder if he's ever performed with Popa Chubby.
I'm putting together an all boy band, and I'm calling it the Chixie Dix.

So what did I win?

You gotta here Ozzy's version of nib with Les on bass, it kicks ass!

Ok eddy that is actually pretty kick ass for jazz. My ears are starting to like the stuff more and more. The guy playing the organ and keys is nuts, I used to play the organ and thats some hard finger work hes doing. Nice find!

that was a very cool song.

D"s Diner.... Off of Purple Onion.... lol cool tune

 

[Rolex]

Excellent. No wonder it got your attention. Great all around performance, and the keyboardist was a lightning blur.

Oh, and by the way, the asian girl is playing a Sitar. Gabby La La is her name.

 

[mr_bob]

that really sounds good and interesting the asian girl is pretty cute too


but why does he wear a mask???

 

[msly]

Eddy.... looks like Les only lives about 45 mins from you... why don't you ring him up..... I am sure he has some brown beaver for you....

I just picked up "OF WHALES AND WOE" last night. It's defintely not something I would have found on my own. Track two "One better" is killer. I'm not too big on the lyrics but the instruments are insane.
