Red Snapper began in a sweaty rehearsal room in Hammersmith working their dirty jam of hiphop/jazz and rockabilly with sax player Alan Riding which soon became 3 eps on Thair and Dean Thatcher's label Flaw Recordings. With help from White Noise's Chris Butler and a belting set @ the Jazz Stage Glastonbury they secured a 'record deal' with Warp Records. There followed many European/UK shows with punkfunk vocalist Anna Haigh and Ex 'Pig Bag' sax player Ollie Moore.
The album 'Prince Blimey' was produced and mixed by the band and Tim Holmes (Death In Vegas) and released with great praise, Their subsequent live shows proved that drum and bass really could be played live. Snapper remixes of the likes of Garbage, David Holmes, Sabres of Paradise and Troublefunk furthered their reputation as a truly experimental act.
Rich, David and Ali worked with engineer Luke Gordon, Mc Det and Vocalist Allison David on their following album 'Making Bones' which found them supporting the likes of Massive Attack, Bjork and The Prodigy and playing Jules Holland on...'tv'. They were joined by analogue kidbadboy Jake Williams (Flameboy) in a much needed input of 808/loop frenzy.
By now the live show had become a fantastic blend of uk dirt jazz/hiphop/breaks with Det and Allison David leading the show....
The 3 went back into their Waterloo studio and produced another epic album involving vocalist Karim Kendra, MC Det and Mr Williams which resulted in more sellout shows and a bizarre departure from warp records.
'Red Snapper' is a much sought after final album on the fantastic Lo Recordings that combines some more journeys into sonic slackness in true 'snapper' form. Also check out the remix album ' redone'on Lo Recs.
In summer 2007 they were asked to headline a stage at the BigChill festival. Rich, David and Ali were joined onstage by youngblood Tom Challenger on sax, melodica and clarinet and Darius Kedros on sound/dub duty. The show was a great success with fans from all musical backgrounds and resulted in the band being commissioned to compose the music for the art/film installations run by Big Chill for the opening of Eurotunnel @ St.Pancras (see link for 'time out of place').
Winter 2007 saw Snapper in the studio recording new tracks with Tim Holmes(Death In Vegas), instrumental influences ranging from afrobeat, hendrix, rockabilly and surf.
Live.... they promise to continue their relentless search for the real fuckoffjazz.
Gigs are flying in and we welcome feedback on the new tunes and shows.
