Kneebody Covers Beck’s “Dear Life” (Video)

June 14, 2018 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Kneebody is continuing their cover series with a new song this week-- their take on Beck's "Dear Life" off his latest album, Colors. Comparing the two songs, Kneebody is definitely taking Beck's tune and sprinting with it. If this is the pace the group is taking all their recent pop covers, this will stay a series to stay up on. Give the video some play after the … [Read more...]

Kneebody Cover Rihanna’s “Work” (Video)

May 16, 2018 By Anthony Dean-Harris

I wasn't really asking for this, but I also make it a habit to sleep on Rihanna (hell, I still like Sia's earlier work), but "Work" is a catchy song and it certainly has its place in the culture. It certainly reached the guys of Kneebody who just dropped their take on the song which is certainly still Rihanna's hit but also very much a Kneebody tune, with its production, Shane … [Read more...]

Kneebody’s New Album, ‘Anti-Hero’, Out March 3

January 19, 2017 By Anthony Dean-Harris

A new Kneebody album is cause for celebration, that and probably fanatical dancing. The rambunctious quintet consisting of Ben Wendel on tenor sax, Shane Endsley on trumpet, Adam Benjamin on keyboards, Kaveh Rastegar on bass, and Nate Wood on drums (when they aren't multi-tasking, of course) are getting ready to release their next album, Anti-Hero, on March 3rd on Motéma Music. … [Read more...]

Kneebody & Daedelus – “Drum Battle” (Stream)

October 21, 2015 By Anthony Dean-Harris

Ben Wendel and the rest of the guys from Kneebody have known Alfred "Daedelus" Darlington for a good long while. The dandy producer and the throttle-down jazz innovators have had glancing musical dalliances in the past, but thay hd yet to release a full blown album together… until now. Is it any surprise that it's taking the LA, Flying Lotus-headed label Brainfeeder to make … [Read more...]
