Talented French bass player Shob, who has collaborated with many artists (Roger Biwandu (Zawinul Syndicate), Patrick Rondat (G3), PapaGuyo (Sly & Family Stone), Patrick Bebey, Charles X, Eths…), will be releasing his second album \u201cKarma Obscur\u201d in Spring 2018! His critically acclaimed debut \u201cPragmatism\u201d (2015) received over 500,000 hits on youtube, more than 600 physical copies sold, 10,000 downloads sold! Shob’s new album \u201cKarma Obscur\u201d is a progressive rock\/funk album with a really tight and meticulous production. Sixteen guests have participated in the recording, all amazing musicians. The album is described as \u201cDark Funk,\u201d which was really Shob’s state of mind when it was written. Throughout the record, you will encounter crazy beatbox parts (Beasty), amazing soul vocalist (Laur\u00e8ne P Magnani), insane metal guitar solos (Pierre Danel\/Kadinja), body-builded drum parts (Morgan Berthet), African percussion and grooves (Ludo Lesage)\u2026.Always cleverly mixed.<\/p>\n
In support of his forthcoming album, Shob is preparing to tour Europe in April 2018 covering 7 countries: France, Germany, Holland, Slovaquia, Italy, Austria, Norway. His band features Morgan Berthet (Myrath, Eths, Klone, Kadinja) on drums, Denis Cornardeau on guitar and Tony Lavaud (Charles X, Santa Machete) on keyboards.<\/p>\n
Shob’s music is described as intense progressive rock\/funk played live by amazing musicians, and has been compared to Snarky Puppy, Marcus Miller, Herbie Hancock, Oz Noy, and Larry Graham. He has played more than 1000 shows over the past 6 years, and his solo project allowed him to open for great Jazz artists such as Scott Henderson, Jeff Berlin, and Gary Novak. He played some of the greatest places such as: Hell Fest open air (Mainstage France), Graspop fest (Bel), Wacken Fest (Ger), Ziget fest (Hung), Madrid electric fest, Elys\u00e9e Montmartre (Paris), ST Emilion Jazz festival, Moscow, Rio, Sao Polo, Santiago Chile, Barcelone, St Barth, and Europe.<\/p>\n
One thing defines Shob’s shows: GROOVE. Audience must be prepared to burn the dance floor out on this crazy fusion funky sound. This said, technical virtuosity lovers won’t be disappointed. Shob’s quartet are some of the greatest musicians in their category. Also, there’s a large part of improvisation during the ensemble’s shows, in which each musician can express himself, and interact with the audience\u2026which makes every show UNIQUE.<\/p>\n
