What should you expect from a The Supermen Lovers live show?
Here you are a non-exhaustive list of things you're going to witness when attending a TSL gig:
jazz/funk Herbie Hancock-sounding harmonies meeting vintage synth basses. The beating, human, pumping heart of a discofunk sample being amplified by an electronic bypass.
A broken beat record played by Victor Wooten.
This is live music for the dancefloors. Please forget Starlight. We had fun with it, you had fun with it, two million people had fun with it. It was so fun that it kinda hid the rest of his years-spanning musical career: a career which has the sound of the stuff young people finally call "nu-disco" today.
The real fun starts now, discovering the ace melange of passionate and highly-trained musicianship and modern production skills that The Supermen Lovers has been creating for years now.
This is about a real, angry live show from an artist who has just released his best album with a list of featuring sounding like a true who's who in disco/funk music history: former Chic singer Norma Jean Wright and Rick Bailey from Delegation. It's about a real duo show with analog machines, vocoders, 6- strings guitars, Rhodes pianos.
A show where '70s lead synth sounds are laid upon a huge beat and a jazzy, groovy swinging guitar commands you to lose yourself "between the ages".
By attending a The Supermen Lovers' live show you will witness two expert musicians squeezing everything they have in mind and in their stomach on their instruments. Two people and all barriers fall. Technique meets emotion.
A back-and-forth musical phrasing deep-fried in Moroderesque italo-disco arpeggios lost in a Weather Report jam, DFA records' style open hi-hats and another Long Island, please.
Turn your amplifier on - this is just the beginning.
