Chad Smith is one of the few rock drummers I can name. His work with Red Hot Chili Peppers made him a star and his uncanny resemblance to Will Farrell cemented him in my mind. His latest project is an all-star instrumental jazz/funk band called Bombastic Meatballs. The band consists of Chad Smith on drums, Jeff Kollman from Cosmosquad on guitar, Kevin Chown from Uncle Kracker‘s band on bass, and Ed Roth (sadly not Eli Roth) on keyboards. The track “Greasy Louise” is the first single from their sophomore record More Meat which is due out next week. The track is a little jam band-ish but more Medeski, Martin, and Wood than Phish. Check it out and let me know what you think.
