Formed in 2004 by bassist Michael League, Snarky Puppy has grown tremendously from a bunch of kids at the University of North Texas into the powerhouses they are today. Members of Snarky Puppy have played with many big names in jazz and popular music, including Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, Chaka Khan,Morcheeba, Kirk Franklin, Beyonce, Wayne Krantz, Ari Hoenig, Adam Rogers, Patti Austin, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Jason Marsalis, John Ellis, Noisettes, Dave Brubeck, and countless more. Two of the band's members have even won Grammys for their work.

While making names for themselves with these giants of the scene, Snarky Puppy still manages to play great music together, and their latest record'Tell Your Friends' is no different. The album is so rich with thick melodies and heavy beats that after hearing it there's little else you can do but get up and dance. Like the bands motto, the music is'for your brain and booty. ' Michael League's bass lines interweave through the hard hitting playing of the horn section with all the fluidity and precision of the masters of jazz and funk. Robert'Sput' Searight's drumming is unrivalled in technical prowess and ability to know just what to do at just the right moment, and Chris McQueen's guitar playing is sure to melt off the face of any listener. To put it simply: this band will rock you to your core
