Jack Keruac that’s like the secret sauce with SP. don’t know how they do it. But I think it comes down to Michael Luegues leadership skills.

[@gustafsone]

@@mogglie He's definitely the foundation of the band and possibly the best leader you could hope for when playing this type of music. I love watching Mike League watching his bandmates when they are soloing. He's been playing with most of these cats for years now and he still has that look of astonishment on his face when one of them is soloing as if he can't believe what he is witnessing.

Every musician seems utterly relaxed, yet, plays with ABSOLUTE surgical precision and function with purity AS A TEAM.

[@woroGaming]

The magic in playing in a band is that you follow the drums/bass, and for the rest you do your own thing. If everybody does that - not thinking about the rest but focus on your own piece - you get a cohesive sound. Slight cues from certain riffs aid in this, but it's trusting each other to do your thing that enables the magic.

People tend to say that nowadays the music is garbage.. Yeah, i know the ''pop'' industry is different these days, but c'mon every decade has bad ''pop'' music too and you know what? That is okay... All the decades (talking about artists of the Ocident, that i know of, specially beautiful brazilian bands) had good music, for me especially the 70's, but man the 2010's are BOMBING with good music and artists, partly because of the gift of internet, it gave a lot of space to independent good artists and musicians to shine, and i think the tendency is just to get better, the new 20's jazz age is coming and we are just in the beggining of a whole new century.. Literally thousands, on every genre, specially genre bending music are reshaping the musical scenario. The human potential for creating beautiful music is so touching, it really is something powerful!
