THE COUP - FAT CATS (LIVE) with SKERIK (Providence 2006)

[dannyzee4]

I'm mainly not a hip hop fan but damn The Coup are quite possibly my favourite band

[moatwog]

@dannyzee4 you're a hip hop fan, now man. Check out The Roots, check out Funkadelic, check out Blackalicious.

[HaitianAnarchofunk]

He doesn't sound as sly as he did in the track.

[hectorleon87]

what's skeriks story?

[BigAngus15]

He's a Seattle kid. Been touring with Les Claypool for the past couple years. Check him out live sometime, he has a wicked talent for replacing a band's lead guitar with a sax.

[hectorleon87]

yes, i saw the fancy dvd and i loved his sound, i've heard some of his stuff with stanton moore and that's great too, i just feel i need more

[willywonka9385]

The drummer just absolutely rips it up at 2:44 and on. I love it!

[CaiMartlew]

I wish Skerik was playing with The Coup when I saw them!

[drogoth25]

The Coup is one of the best political hip-hop groups of all time.

[Tribumi]

The Coup is one of the best (political hip-hop) groups of all time.

[sbyre888]

nice!!! I was supposed to be on the guest list for this show, I called Skerik, he met me and said, "yeah, you should be set now, I gotta go, I'm going on w/ the Coup right now!"

[Snorglorf]

i am jealous of you for talking to skerik

[sbyre888]

well, he's less unaproachable than he leads folks to believe.....you can be jealous 100's of times...bustin' balls! Mike D is my homie too..he called to see if I wanted to come see Ani Difranco in Boston, hell yeah! that wouldv'e been $90 for my wife and I, never seen him w/ Ani, or Ani!

[Snorglorf]

shuuuucks. i'd love to meet Skerik. Being a 15 year old canadian, i doubt that is going to happen any time soon.

[ImSickAtBass]

i saw them open for claypool. they were wicked good, their drummer was amazing too

[datdachtikwelja]

because of the better bassline than the other versions?
