[@ScaryPockets]

Come see us July 2nd in St Helena, CA at Charles Krug Winery for Blue Note Summer Sessions! Tickets: bit.ly/ScaryPocketsKrug

[@ericmyrs]

Nick absolutely killing it on bass. Destroying it, even.

[@bigeasy13]

And looked so stoked the whole time too haha loved his energy!

[@mikegreenebass]

That Solo Bridge .... Woo Wee!

[@DanLSand]

@@mikegreenebass modulation stirs up fresh noodles!

[@MaroonCorey]

Kind of a Meters vibe I guess, and the break has some nice Rocco Prestia fingerstyle, but the original cut had more funk on the bass to my ear. This young musician does a nice job throwing even more funk on it - kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXO6mGyMrZWmi6s

[@DanLSand]

@@MaroonCorey oops, I dunno all .that.. but I do dig deeply, them ‘Pockets. And oops for naming a device; here, “funk” isn’t technique, it’s… smell.

[@carlosiespinozab]

how to make funky music more funky? That drum and bass combo is INSANE. Julia killing it as usual!

[@gracie99999]

was thinking bass and electric guitar or whatever but ya added drums

[@jonathanbaker2789]

that drummer plays for Paul McCartney, so yea

[@thublit]

It's Nick, of course;)

[@vasocreta]

right? I could sit and listen to just the drums and bass. This is to tight.

[@thetruestrepairman7423]

The original is not funky tho. It's pretty much a standard pop tune with an "homage" to an overused funk melody.

[@pablocanovas9626]

Woah that guitar solo is fucking TASTY. Ariel Posen, such an underrated talent.

[@larphraulen]

Jesus... Didn't realize that was him until you mentioned it. I haven't watched Scary Pockets in a while but every single person in this one is a BEAST.

[@pablocanovas9626]

@@larphraulen Mate I listened to this song in Spotify for the first time and I loved the guitar solo. Weeks later I stumbled upon this video and was like wait WHAT?? The guy is a real gem.

[@emreuludogann]

Nobody is talking about how good mix is. Warm, round, even. Simply everything :)

[@humankindmedia9741]

Perfect. Everything is present, but the vocal is out front, with just enough reverb.

[@cinhavoc6580]

Warm, round, even, and simple... i should call her :(

[@speedfreakjive8843]

Bang on

[@rizzbod]

True

[@victorbicudo1374]

when nobody talks about the mix it means it was done right. good mixing engineers are not looking for likes on social media

[@dankymatters838]

Holy wow! Julia was the PERFECT choice for this song! Well done everyone!

[@TheBigburcie]

It had to be an alto and she's perfect.

[@RisingTidesAC]

PERFECT and F'N AWESOME!

[@pieterwaterschoot9309]

Wow, that drummer is so good! Just found out that he did drums for Paul McCartney and Vanessa Carlton among many others! He is amazing!!!

[@danfalero9300]

Abraham Laboriel's son. Quality in his veins

[@jasonremy1627]

That drummer is Abe Laboriel Jr. He's an absolute pro. Been Sir Paul's drummer for at least 20 years at this point...

[@jerrodc155]

He’s also a giant. That bass drum must be like 72” to keep him in a reasonable scale

[@NESP4713]

Hilarious you put Paul McCartney and Vanessa Carlton in the same sentence.

[@21Danieltbs]

Yep, absolutely fantastic drummer. I believe he's toured with many other big shots such as Eric Clapton, etc.

[@jamescruz8678]

The syncopation on the snare alone weaving around the swinging of the vocals is what makes this song for me holy shit

[@eduardoduarte9706]

The world needs more Nick´s happy bass lines!

[@nomiddlenameeither]

I once was told, "when a guitar/bass FEELS the music....it looks like he smells something funny.....when a drummer feels the music, he's looks like he's lost in space"....I love this!!!! Real musicians

[@Utube-g3g]

It’s called stank face.

[@IsuckYoungBlood]

That's basically 0:50 :D

[@misteritscuz]

the craziest thing to me about scary pockets is these insanely talented vocalist... who are then somehow overshadowed at times by the incredible instrumentals, production and mixing. like her voice is INSANE, but i can't stop watching/listening to the drums/bass (in particular, but really it's just all of them).

[@Xechor]

Julia's vocal timbre is wild! It hits like a golden freight train or a wrecking ball forged from chandeliers.

[@jamesbarbour8400]

Excellent description

[@elleandtoni]

Yes indeed - but also talk about that top with those shoulders - my fashion knowledge of what's what & what's called what is sub-par but I want shoulder armour to go with! Reignited.

[@JaneinSpain]

Julia Nunes is absolute perfection. And the band ain't too shabby, either! Made my morning, quite possibly my whole day. ♥

[@TrippyTheShroom]

That bass and drums tho... absolutely killer

[@LittleLengies]

Julia Nunes’ voice is hypnotic! I love her so much. She looks so beautiful in this video, and I love that she’s bare foot, grounded and powerful. 💞

[@wammajamma1]

Couldn’t of said it any better. In love with Julia.

[@gracie99999]

that’s cool barefoot hest

[@Ingenau]

Ariel Posen perfect, as usual. Great performance!

[@TheBigburcie]

Ariel just throwing down some stanky solos here on top of an already dirty groove.

[@robertmullen5211]

Dope lineup, each performer a master. Sick cover and arrangement. Perfect vocal approach. Pure butter.

[@robinkershaw]

Agreed.

[@lbarudi]

I'm still trying just to imagine what if feels like being invited to play this gig (and we talking Scary Pockets, so dope af by itself) and then getting there and realizing THIS is the team you're about to make music with

[@cam-tv5rb]

I did NOT expect that voice. So good! That drummer 😍

[@Seibling]

nunes is my top fav singer @scary pockets. her voice control is phenomenal. and i like her attitude. she is so cool when performing.

[@stantomas]

Drummer here...love how the band is playing around the syncopated groove the drummer and bass are laying down-everyone finding their space...perfect pocket...the vocals are incredible...this should be a 30 minute length- :)

[@ChefMusicOsh]

Abe on drums?! Nice!!!

[@calkrahn9961]

Just got to say the sound mixing you guys do is soooo amazing. Everything so distinct, clear, and blended!!!

[@MatheusCosta30s]

I came across Julia Nunes on KZbin many years ago, a beautiful voice singing great songs to a single camera oh her bedroom, playing a ukulele with lots of charisma. Always thought she was great and I was't wrong. It's so nice to see the astonishing improvement she had. What a powerful voice! Great band performance, awesome arrangement, perfect match for Julia's super smooth vocals. Amazing!

[@ZacharyWThomas]

Yesss please bring Abe around more often! Unreal pocket 🔥

[@florianrichling]

The energy is infectious and pure. The performance and the mix are immaculate.

[@TheEclectic]

Damn Julia Nunes is one of my earliest youtube subs - 2008. Still killing it since the ukulele days.

[@LarryFriedPresents]

So PSYCHED to see Julia Nunes back with Pockets! She's been on some of my fave Pockets tracks. Love how you guys transformed this song.

[@nolansullivan.today.1645]

That little drum fill @ 2:20 is absolutely epic. Ariel and Ryan know it too. Jeez, sent shivers down my spine.

[@LaytonAlex]

Haven't heard anything about Julia Nunes in too long! I remember watching her do ukulele covers on KZbin like a decade ago. Awesome to see that she's still killing it!

[@howlinhobbit]

that’s a big “me too” there. I can see from the comments I’ve got to dive deeper into Scary Pockets, if only to catch more Julia.

[@atticwindowful]

@@howlinhobbit Same - last I'd seen was a "Crash" cover performed by her again with Scary Pockets a while back (I admittedly don't follow artists actively). That cover is great too, if you've never checked it out!

[@howlinhobbit]

@@atticwindowful - I’ll just search for scary pockets and julia nunes and check ‘em all out. probably not tonight though, I’ve got 2 “past due” videos of my own to make. if I fall too far down the KZbin rabbit hole I’ll end up with nothing done.🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Albatrossamongus]

Ooof, that Strat tone! My my my... SO choice.

[@UmpaHimself]

So damn happy to see Ariel Posen back! He's really rippin in this cut. Damn that dude can shred.

[@destroyermaker]

This woman has one of the most incredible voices I've ever heard.

[@jarrajoseph-mcgrath9142]

14 years with J-dawg. Her voice is so full now, like being inside an oak tree.

[@brudbbb1]

Bass is killing it, I saw that guy playing with Pomplamoose as well.

[@joandtomx1483]

Darn. Four hours ago I was working in my garden thinking that what I wanted in life was more Scary Pockets with Abe and Ariel and Nick and that groove they get going. Well well well. Fine way to end the day.

[@matthewjones8865]

Can’t stop listening to this song it’s just so GOOD. The band is super tight and her voice is just incredible 🙏

[@ALFREDsurfer08]

Abe is just such a beast! I'd give anything to be able to groove that hard

Damn!!! Ariel Posen & Abe just really amazing Electric Vibes 🔥🎵

[@barryrahmy3059]

You know when people say “I could listen to [x] sing the phone book?” This qualifies. She transcends the ridiculous lyrics of this song. Great voice, great approach, and this band is extraterrestrial.

[@gracie99999]

feels like such a tight group

[@wesleyb_92]

Some of the greatest musicians alive in the room. Wow

[@wouldntyaliktono]

Every one of these is a talent showcase unlike anything I see elsewhere on the internet. There's just so many hits.

[@lizziebirch2871]

Happy bassplayer = happy band 💚🥳

[@gracie99999]

I used to think that but now all the above makes more sense

[@Thrandi]

I love the way her microphone was mixed and she is very good in how she uses the microphone by pulling back every time she is going to suddenly get louder. Very well done!

[@viralbox5603]

Please do more with Julia, her voice is awesome!

[@goldenshale]

Amazing version! I can't stop listening to this one. Nunes' voice is so good.

What an extraordinary voice that elevates this entire song, The powerful female baritone is incredible and sounds way better than original. Secret classic rock track hidden in pop again.
