Jamiroquai

[Pete Academy]

For anyone that's interested or doesn't know, Jamiroquai are on Jools Holland tonight.

[bubinga5]

i wiil be watching that one..

[ezbass]

Oh yes I saw this was on and I will be watching. Promises to be quite a good show as it's got kt Tunstall too (if you like her that is). Let's hope the mix is up to scratch for a change and we get a good helping of Mr Turner.

[Stingray5]

Funnily enough, I just checked the TV guide and saw they would be on so I'll be tuning in.
There're a couple of other acts I'll be interested to see, too (KT Tunstall, Ray LaMontagne).
The new Harry and Paul show before it at 9.30 looks like it might be a laugh. Particularly the Silver Haired Beatles!

Just watched them and must admit the new song's a bit bland, loved the re-worked Deeper underground though.
I was saying to my wife that so much stuff's been done before that it's all a bit samey. Then Everything Everything came on and it was fresh , different and exiting. I'm listening to the album "Man alive" on spotify as I type. Reminds me of a cross between It Bites and Thomas Dolby............
Really rather good

Yep, must admit 'Everything Everything' caught my ear, too.
The general sound of live music on the Beeb is still as naff as ever!

+2 on 'Everything Everything'

Great bass player and band with Jamiroquai, but I thought it was very souless as music..heightened only by the musicianship of his band.

KT Tunstall was quite good and so was Ray Lamontagne.. and there was a really fresh sounding band (American i think) who had a great bass player; played with a pick but it was really melodic and unihibited!

+1 Great bassline on that MY KZ YR BF track. Listening to it now.

Have to agree re Jamiroquai. KT Tunstall seemed more comfortable and at ease when she did 'Perfect' with Jools.

[grahamd]

+3 on everything everything, very fresh sounding, will be investigating further.

Thought Jamiroquai were slick as you like as expected, but PT very muddy to my ears. Couldn't make out what he was playing either, was it an AC?

I believe it was a Fender Jazz.

I thought that Jamiroquai were pretty bland to be honest. In fact I thought the whole show was pretty lame...as usual.

[ezbass]

Disappointed with Jamiroquai and PT's bass was lost behind an over emphasised guitar (vintage Jazz BTW). Other bands were OK and their bass sounds were quite good (go P basses!). KT Tunstall always enjoyable, nice to hear Perfect again, I think she's better with that stripped back kind of thing. Ray LaMontagne was new to me, that song's changes reminded me of the Eagle's Peaceful Easy Feeling, I liked it although it would've sounded better with an upright bass.

I take back my "It Bites" quote after listening to the album

A shame, as it sounded like a great combination!
I won't bother checking it out now

[paul h]

I am now trying to talk my lot into doing Deeper Underground.

[Huw Foster]

Was good seeing LCM graduates in both Jamiroquai (horn section) and Everything Everything (the drummer) on TV.

Jamiroquai's set was a little disappointing (in terms of song choices), and I've got mixed feelings about the impending album, judging by what I've already heard. Here's hoping the Friday set is better.

Also, does anyone know who the guitarist for KT Tunstall was? It wasn't Charlotte Hatherly was it? CAN SHE GET ANY COOLER?!

[bassbloke]

I'm not a Jamiroquai fan, but quite liked that song from the Godzilla soundtrack. I thought the reworked version was nice and chunky, but was missing a lot of the menace of the original because the bass sound was too clean - needed some fuzz and synth. Undoubtedly a good bass player, but he looked so lifeless too.

My wife seemed quite enamoured with Paul Turner, I seem to recall her commenting along the lines of " Who's that bass player, he's a bit tasty"
I of course replied "What? Do you mean his playing?"
She smiled.
He'd better address the good looking thing soon, or he'll be out of a job One can't be seen to be competeing in the centre of attention stakes now can one?

[purpleblob]

I don't often watch the show, but turned on to see Jamiroquai, first song was okay (the best I can say) and deeper underground probably one of my least favourite Jamiroquai tracks.

I thought every single band on the show were at best bland, at worst just plain boring. Shame

[spinynorman]

Never really liked Jamiroquai before, but they were easily the best band musically on the show. Quite liked the songs, which I didn't know.

I guess if you were in your mother's womb in the 1980s, music would have sounded like Everything Everything.

I'm sure I saw someone with a Mustang ...

Ray LaMontagne was lovely!
Reminded me somewhat of Fleetwood Mac 'Never Going Back Again'.
Modernised 'Deeper Underground' was pretty cool, but yeah, more distortion and other effects!!

For anyone that missed it (like me) I just found it online,

edit: I should have said something about it, really... it's a good remix but I think if I was in the band I'd want to stay away from that song as it's the one everyone has heard, and they could end up being known as a bit of a one-trick pony like Roger Moore.

Jamiroquai, KTT and Ray LaMontagne on the same show? Will deffo be watching that one on Friday.
