MonoNeon | Live at North Sea Jazz 2023

- Bassist Dwayne Thomas Jr. is the colorful offspring of Prince, Funkadelic, the Bristol trip-hop scene, composer John Cage and many more. We see the songs 'Under The Spell Of You', 'Invisible' and 'Life is a Glittery Fu€kery' live at the North Sea Jazz Festival 2023 in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
Dwayne Thomas Jr. was Prince’s last bassist and has also collaborated with George Clinton, Nas and Mavis Staples, among others. Under the alias MonoNeon, the Grammy-winning musician creates funkadelic-infused tracks chock-full of samples, atonal sounds and polyphonic distorted vocals that seem to bubble up from underwater. MonoNeon does everything just a little bit differently. As a right-hander, he plays an upside-down bass guitar with his left hand, allowing him to bend the thick, low strings to their best advantage. His latest mini-album, Jelly Belly Dirty Somebody (2023), is once again full of otherworldly surprising compositions. Some will find them hypnotic, others simply weird. “Existential funk,” is how Rolling Stone put it. Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea was clearer: “The greatest f***ing electric bass player.”
that snare is crispppy
Incredibly!!
Any crispier and a fire would break out.
Sounds like a fire cracker.
ALL DAY!!!!!❤
@@noahbirdrevolution😂😂 For sure…
MonoNeon is one of my favorite 2024 TH-cam discoveries
Mono is one of the modern great musicians. I was at a NYE festival in Florida that had low turnout and bands cancel due to covid; Mono showed up and put on a killer set then played another set with the musicians from other bands. He really helped save the festival.
and genuine caring person. this post was sponsored by his GrandMa
This is unbelievable how he keeps such tight groove and sings at the same time...incredible band.
You've never watched Level 42 live?
@@HugeRademaker thier music is not that complicated
@@nikolaisalnikov8086 Play a Level 42 bass line like "Lessons in Love" and sing at the same time. 👌🏼
@@HugeRademaker let's not compete with length of penises, it's music
groovy baby. they should play at electric forest. actually have a RESIDENCY like String Cheese does
He is SMACKIN' that snare!
Funk is still alive. Mono is a bad man.
Truth.
Judging by the audience, I give funk another 30 years max
@@chrisparker5278 Nhaaa, new generation of jazz fusion Is silent buuut...it's comiiiiing🎉
One of the most creative musicians active today. His music is "wild" as in unconstrained, yet it's still accessible. Achievement.
I don't know why I've been sleeping on listening to Mono for so long but I'm here now 🔥🔥🔥
Just as awesome as his playin is the fact that he can take the whole gig wearin those clothes!!!
10:43 The transition to Invisible 🌊
One my favorite song from Mononeon ☺️
IN LOVE - w/this sound soul - good on you building a band that GETS IT - troopers to the THING love all you. Salute
Ole. Moltes gràcies Rudy per passar-m'ho. Han mamat bé de Parliament Funkadelic, Bootsie Collins, Prince... Un molt bon grup FUNK, i la pinta d'en Mononeon aquest... hostiap., autèntica. 😄
Love Mono Neon and his band so much.
Mono just blows my mind He's been here but some wasn't playing attention to this rock star from another galaxy yes sir ❤
Wow, that transition into the second tune was unbelievably smooth and effortless. I had to check that out a couple times
I've only just discovered MonoNeon today while searching for a Fender bass to purchase so I can get back into music. I must say, I've fallen down the rabbit hole. Not only do I now need to purchase the MonoNeon Signature bass, but I need to modify my musical style as well!!!!
It's like the love child of Bootsy Collins and a Teletubbie convinced a bunch of street buskers to perform with him, and it's amazing
Ha Ha Ha all day long😅🎉❤
23:14 That bass growling and yelling 😂
Mono is on fire 🔥
Starring Steve Jobs in the yellow guitar, and Wil Smith (properly masked) on bass and lead vocals...!😁😁
Fantastic job, guys...! Watching from São Paulo, Brazil..!
Took the sound guy only a song and a half to realize the guitars should be louder.
Really great show. Mono is amazing! The whole band smokes
Lovin this. Keep it going!
Just Awesome!
fantastic
So incredible.
Love this brother !
❤❤❤❤❤

Galactic space trip
I actually preferred the other bassist on the Vic Firth jams but, my god, MonoNeon's outfit is amazing!
The Best
MONOFUNK🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿🤘🏿
19:32 Bro is lazer focused. Me playing this drums? I will be tired after 6 seconds
I love mono in stereo and that outfit is a real masterpiece - the ladies will love him for that, especially those under 6 years 🤣
Joking aside these are very talented artists, great funky jazzy sound.
You can feel Neon when he preforms live.
What is the socks on the guitars in the bases
The guy with the yellow guitar looks like he got up in the middle of the night to pee and wandered onstage.
Wow.. i see why George Clinton & P-Funkadelic promote this brother 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘... Get it Mono Neon !!
Ésto es música.
MonoNeon is for the children.
Uit Memphis, niet Bristol waar komt dat vandaan?
DON'T TAKE IT HOME NASTY! 🔥🔥
setlist?
Lookin like he got stuck in the arts and crafts bin at the senior center
I can only imagine how much he sweats during a show
This is da Shit! I love the first song Dope!!!!
Tutta roba gia' fatta e fatta molto meglio... e poi vestiti in modo inguardabile! Bravi musicisti ma non basta!!
E chi l'ha fatta?
I'd love to see him without his signature clothing. Anybody else?
PFunk reincarnated hello Caspar,😮da funkyGhost😂
The spirite of 0(+> is in the air
P -FUNK 21century
These fellas are good for sure, but if you wanna hear a great band listen to steely dan, especially their album "aja".
😂😂😂
Drummer is you MAN holding you through
Who gon make a comment with the song timestamps?
Sooo good, but......wearing shorts on stage? Didn't your papa ever tell you, son?
pls give band member names
According to the official north sea jazz app: Xavier Lynn (guitar), Charlie Brown (keyboards), Mononeon (bass), Devin Way (drums). There is one guitarist missing in the lineup.
@@berthoeben thanks!
Missing guitar player is Peter Knudsen
@@joshjaffe1796 you are simply good person thanks for effort
He finally grew up (Mi mamá me lo teje todo): th-cam.com/video/P57PbhjNQXo/w-d-xo.html
Sorry to say it, but the audio really sucks. Completely flat unfortunately.
I grew up with Hendrix, Sly, Funkadelic, Alice Cooper , & Prince, but what's up with this guy's costume? He robbed my great-granny's house.
Your great granny was a cool cat 😂
Muzyka jakich wiele, tylko stroje progresywne.
Tried to get it but couldn't, i found it really dull, tonally limited and very repetitive, he seems popular though, best wishes for him his band and his fans but i wont bother trying again. It takes allsorts to make a world work, it would be a boring place if we were all the same, Peace and love to all.👍♥️🎸🤘
I like the music…
… but bro why you cosplayin’ teletubbies?
Do jaja
That drummer is punchy as fook
Don't understand why bass players want to be singers...
If only the vocals were on point....
Those who have had the privilege to enjoy Prince on stage, will agree that this is a sad, lifeless plagiarization of his legacy.
Somebody from the nursery forgot to change dress.
Where's that clown Louis Cole?
HORRIBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Maybe to you but the rest of us can appreciate the talent of all plsyersmm no in this stage. They’ve worked hard to be up there with a great audience in front of them loving every moment
I have no clue what I'm listening to but I was taught to appreciate all forms of music so I guess it qualifies as such but to say I'm impressed would be a lie... like the story of the emperors new clothes...I just don't see it.... sorry not sorry 😅😅😅😅😅😅
Do sum research on Parliament Funkadelic, U will getit😮Funky/RocknRoll😊
Well aware of George and tha crew but now he seems like he's trying to Chanel Bootsy.... yeah.... like Bootsy Collins theoretically..... I'm glad he has an audience that appreciate this....personally when I wanna dry my sock s ..I hang em on de clothes line outside or drop em in the dryer....I guess the point is as long as you know what happened to the other sock ...then it's all good😅😅😅😅😅
That sucks for you honestly! Cuz this shit fuckin 🔥🔥🔥
@Chyuuch ill take your word for it.....are you familiar with Stanley Clark?
In all honesty little man rocks but his playing seems to get lost in the mix.....when he solos...it kicks but he's a little subtle almost shy in his playing... his vocals are surprisingly strong so I feel his strength is more vocal than technically musical..articulate but capable of much more overall... its like bootsy and freakbass had a cousin nobody knew about. That mask has got to be hot but prince liked high heels so who am I to judge.....I'm not afraid to show my face in public and I imagine he prettier than me!!!
So bad
They suck
No like it.
