"Bad Kids To The Back" Premieres On Rolling Stone
In an obvious departure from the live-in-the-studio video format we've used for so many years, we asked the great French animator Michaël Alcaras to cook up something weird for us. Using studio footage from the Immigrance sessions on the Texas/Mexico border at Sonic Ranch Recording Studio (shot by Stella K), I'd say he succeeded. Special shout out to rollerblades, eyeball lasers, drum trades, Kubrick, and cows in space. Enjoy our second single “Bad Kids To The Back” written by Justin Stanton.

New Single “Xavi” Available Now
The first single from our new album, “Immigrance,” is now available worldwide. After three years without making a record, it feels so good to put something new out into the world. This track, “Xavi,” is inspired by a beautiful experience we had in Morocco at last year's Gnawa Music Festival in Essaouira, sharing a week of rehearsal and performance with the country's most respected guimbre master, Hamid El Kasri حميد القصري, and his incredible group of musicians. We hope you enjoy it (and feel beat one in the right place). -Michael League
The full album “Immigrance” drops March 15.

Live Vinyl Record Release
Surprise! We have a new record coming out BEFORE our new record. In 2017, we recorded nearly every live show we played and released them on livesnarky.com. We picked our 17 favorite tracks from 17 cities around the world, now available as a very special, limited edition, 4-LP vinyl release. With so much new music coming down the pipe next year with our new-new record and the band entering a new chapter in its story, I feel like this is a great snapshot of where we were in a very special moment in time. Available in US and EU stores. Dig in.

About
Jazz + Funk + World + Soul + Pop
Snarky Puppy is truly a different kind of musical animal.
The once Texan, now New York-based quasi-collective Snarky Puppy has gone from the best-kept secret to one of the most respected names in instrumental music. Although still "underground" in many respects, the band earned its first Grammy Award in early 2014 (for Best R&B Performance), followed by two more in the subsequent years, and has earned high praise from critical stalwarts like the BBC, Village Voice, The Guardian, New York Times, and Washington Post, as well as the world’s most respected musicians, from Pat Metheny to Prince. Since 2014, their albums have topped Billboard Jazz, Billboard Contemporary Jazz, Billboard Heatseeker, and iTunes Jazz charts. The band has always used live performance as its chief form of evangelism, and over the last 8 years has maintained a more intense tour schedule than almost any band in the idiom with over 1,200 performances.
