lespecial approaches their live sets with a scat like spirit of spontaneity and improvisation blended with a tight compositional blend of dirtyfunkhop. With their rhythmically driven sounds drawing on influences from all over the musical spectrum (les claypool/radiohead/j-dilla), they forge a connection with the audience and create a collective atmosphere.
lespecial is naked talent and ambition, raping everything you thought you knew about music. We’re more fun than a bag of that funny stuff you just paid ten bucks for. Also, physically, we take up more space. We're searching for something new, we don't know what it is yet, but we hope you feel it. lespecial is special. And so are you. Only slightly less, cause you're not in a cool rock band. Or if you are, it's not as cool.
