A two-time Grammy Award winner, Jones is perhaps most recognizable as being Jack White’s man behind the kit. He’s played on each of White’s solo records, and is typically the rhythm leader at his live shows. But Jones’ resume is long outside of his collaborations with the guitarist; he’s played with Pete Rock,...

Consequence, Modern Drummer, and Yurt Rock are on a quest for the next great funk musician. We asked aspiring funk artists to download our free Clyde Stubblefield drum loop pack and use the loops to produce a completely original song for our Who’s Got the Funk? contest. We received dozens of entries, and after listening to all of the amazing work, we’ve narrowed it down to our four finalists.
Whether they used one, two, or all three of the Stubblefield loops, each of our finalists injected their own sound, feel, and funk into their work. There’s the funky guitar instrumental with a hint of country dubbed “Electric Bath Attendant” by Dave Macki, the horn-heavy cut featuring samples of Stubblefield’s own voice called “I Feel the Funk” by Matt The Katt, the dynamic and electric ode “Who’s Clyde?” by We Are Neurotic, and the hip-hop influenced...

Jack White joined Saturday Night Live’s illustrious Five-Timers Club with a thunderous late-night performance not soon to be forgotten. Accompanied by drummer Daru Jones, bassist Dominic Davis, and keyboardist Quincy McCrary, the Detroit rocker veered in and out of guitar solos as he ran through “Taking Me Back” and “Fear of the Dawn” from his 2022 rock album, Fear of the Dawn.
Later in the episode, White showed off a softer side with a rendition of “A Tip From You to Me,” which appears on the acoustic companion LP, Entering Heaven Alive.
White served as musical guest on SNL’s February 25th episode hosted by actor Woody Harrelson. As fate would have it, Saturday’s episode marked both men’s fifth appearance on the show, and they were gifted their respective Five-Timers Club jackets at the conclusion of the episode. According to the Saturday Night Live Wiki, White is the...

Th1rt3en — the new trio of Pharoahe Monch, Jack White’s drummer Daru Jones, and guitarist Marcus Machado — has released a harrowing new video for their song “Kill, Kill, Kill.”
‘The Breakdown’: Go Behind the Scenes of How to Make a Music Video During the Pandemic
“Kill, Kill, Kill,” which features Smithsoneon, is a tense, driving cut that blends hip-hop with elements of soul and rock. The new clip, directed and animated by Joe Read, uses striking black-and-white animation to tell the story of three children trying to...

In January, hip-hop group Th1rt3n released the single “Cult 45” from its new album “A Magnificent Day for an Exorcism” to coincide with the Presidential Inauguration. The group, which features Pharaohe Monch along with Jack White drummer Daru Jones and guitarist Marcus Machado, tackles rampant political corruption and capitalist excesses in its latest album. Monch also directed the dramatic music video, which took place in the historic South Bronx location of the Andrew Freedman Home, where the grimy rooms provided an appropriate backdrop for the “verbal voodoo” aesthetic that Monch said he wanted to capture with the timely work.
The video was organized with the help of online course developer Yellowbrick, which operated a second unit that captured every stage of the production. The result includes extensive 360-degree stills and videos that provide a unique glimpse at the various aspects involved in producing a Covid-safe project in a single location.

Hip-hop luminary Pharoahe Monch has formed a new trio, Th1rt3en, with Jack White’s drummer Daru Jones and acclaimed guitarist Marcus Machado.
The group announced their arrival with their first song, “Fight,” featuring Cypress Hill, which serves as a righteous opening salvo. Monch and Cypress Hill unload bruising bars that tackle police brutality and systemic racism over Jones’ relentless drumming and a churning guitar from Machado that peels of into a blazing solo at the song’s end.
“Fight” also arrives with a music video directed Tatjana Krstevski,...

Jack White. The Strokes. Foo Fighters — that lineup of “Saturday Night Live” musical guests could easily have come from 2002 instead of 2020 … and in fact, all three of those artists did perform on the show that year or in 2003 (with White as frontman of the White Stripes). For a show that in recent years has leaned heavily on very current pop, hip-hop, R&b and alternative, it’s a head-spinning shift of genre and generations. What’s going on?
Obviously, due to Covid, it’s an unprecedented season and an unprecedented time. But not only has rock music has been at a low ebb for most of this century — the White Stripes and the Strokes are the last truly galvanizing bands in memory — those three acts don’t even have new music out.
Reps for “SNL” did not respond to Variety’s requests for comment, and multiple media sources declined to talk on the record.

Pete Rock looked to James Brown when making his new “Say It Again” video.
The hip-hop producer told Complex that he took inspiration from the funk legend’s “Say It Again, I’m Black and I’m Proud.” The clip shows the hip-hop producer playing records, hitting the studio with a rotating crew of musicians and holding a sign that reads “I Am a Man” in an outdoor basketball court.
The grooving, atmospheric “Say It Again” highlights Rock’s upcoming LP PeteStrumentals 3, out December 11th. It’s the third installment...

Pete Rock will complete his trilogy of instrumental LPs this December with the release of PeteStrumentals 3, the legendary hip-hop producer’s latest installment focusing on his inimitable studio work.
However, unlike the previous samples-heavy releases in the PeteStrumentals series, the third installment sees Rock creating his own loops with a powerhouse band dubbed the Soul Brothers.
“A lot of this album sounds like samples extracted from records. We dress it up and add definition to what it is. It’s Hip-Hop, but have you ever heard Pete Rock not sample...
