Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade Deliver at Brooklyn Steel

Les Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade – Brooklyn Steel – October 22, 2023

The Frog Brigade are the jam-band-iest of Les Claypool’s many thrilling projects. Or they’re a jammy band with a love of funk, prog, psychedelia and Frank Zappa that would be surfing the big waves out near the edges of sanity anyway but just so happen to get their marching orders from Claypool. (That is, not unlike all the musical projects the relentlessly quirky, generationally talented bassist puts his name on.) Either way — or, more likely, both — they’re a force, and what a treat to have them back, 20 years after their heyday and any semblance of regular touring — and in midseason form, to boot.

At Brooklyn Steel on Sunday, the Frog Brigade were on the attack. As in most of the shows during this year’s reunion tour, this one housed a full, go-for-it, manic-jammy full reading of Pink Floyd’s Animals. But what came before and after the Floyd excursion over the course of two sets and nearly three hours was just as delectable. And maybe marching orders isn’t the right way to describe the Claypool effect on a band like this. Claypool himself would seem like the command-and-control boss of this outfit but in practice he’s more the chief creative officer, giving like-minded creators enough room to be their zany selves in the framework he’s created.

This version of the Frog Brigade is assembled and plays like a Frankenstein’d version of the original — many of the same players, yes, from the heady days of ought-three, but also coconspirators from other Claypool bands like the Claypool Lennon Delirium (whose other namesake, Sean Lennon, now has the guitar chair for the Brigade). Sax sorcerer Eric “Skerik” Walton is here, and so is Mike Dillon, the percussion-and-vibes madman. Keys are handled by the prog-inclined Harry Waters (son of Roger), and Paolo Baldi, the Claypool regular and former skins-man for Cake, is on the drums. Together, as in all Claypool bands, they create a cauldron of sonics to which the listener and concertgoer aren’t so much witnesses as they are plunged in, the band driving up the intensity using aggressive, nudging rhythms, often sinister (but not untender) melodies, and free reign to, y’know, beat and blow shit up. This year’s repertoire overall is polyglot Claypool, and on Sunday, that meant plenty of Brigade cuts, but also tunes from Sausage (“Riddles Are Abound Tonight”), from the Holy Mackerel, from the Delirium (“Blood and Rockets”), and from the Bucket of Bernie Brains (a fizzy “Thai Noodles” in the encore), plus covers as varied as Prince Buster (“One Step Beyond”) and the English Beat (“Mirror in the Bathroom”).

The Pink Floyd stuff? Yeah, totally fun, as advertised. I could listen to Claypool and Co. pillage their way through “Sheep” for hours (and their “Dogs” is just as on point). But no matter what it is, these guys kick up a mighty groovy racket. Late in the second set came “Precipitation” (from the Holy Mackerel back pages), which built to a whirring, stab-syncopation solo-fest around its “Rain, rain, rain” refrain. “Hendershot,” another Claypool staple, had a bit of ragtime piano from Waters thrown in before it became a surf-rock adventure, Skerik’s sax screaming over it. The tale of “David Makalaster” (both parts!) had the band at a steady-rolling chant, pushing, pushing, pushing its stabbing rhythm.

There’s a tendency to call this music wacky but that kind of misses the musicality in it, especially when each of these songs gets a healthy work-through. The six of them don’t for a second lose the collective sonics — if you really listen closely, you hear them playing off one another with subtle asides, even when one of them is blasting away out in front of the jam. —Chad Berndtson | @Cberndtson

Well hogtie me with a greasy rope n call it easy, it’s been 20 frickin years!!!

Haven’t seen this group since I was a wee lad. And Fishbone?!! I’m hitting at least 3. Skerik and Mike D are back! Baldi is a great drummer but I didn’t like the Sean Lennon stuff. So I guess I’ll see.

Who invented music?

Though there are many instruments capable of making music, the voice was unquestionably the earliest, as percussion was not first invented for musical purposes, and bass guitars don't count. Singing dates back beyond antiquity and indeed, beyond humanity. The earliest animal that evolved to make music was not the songbird or even the cricket, but rather, the frog.

Triadobatrachus, or the "Triassic Yowling Frog" as it was known back then, was the first animal capable of inflating its vocal sack. Thus, it was capable of making and tuning various noises, which like modern human musicians, it did to attract mates. Unlike modern musicians however, it did not rely exclusively on "Wonderwall" by Oasis.

Triadobatrachus made music of a very different sort. Today, we call this genre of music "Swedish Progressive Glam Metal," and it is mostly played today by all-frog bands, such as Croakus. Though American bands like Toad the Wet Sprocket and Colonel Les Claypool's Fearless Flying Frog Brigade have worked in the medium, their lack of actual amphibian musicians relegates them to mere appropriation.

Though many also cite Kermit the Frog as a genuinely salient musician, Jim Henson has explained that Kermit is biologically a human warrior who ran afoul of a Magus in the late sixth century, and seeks now to avenge his friend Cyrus.

that’s the truck escape ramp rte 9 west heading down into Bennington vt. TBF to 39 years ago exactly when on our way to a dead show in syracuse this dumbass thought it might be cool to see if it would work. Hit it at about 70 and it worked! Got stuck at the top and had to dig ourselves out. Gf was less than happy.

Anyway the reason for todays trip west was to catch Les Claypool and his flying frog brigade in one of my fave rooms. Sean Lennon is in this band. Pretty solid stuff and he managed to squeeze in ‘Animals’ in its entirety. Creamy. 10-20-2024 The Palace Theater Albany NY
