Broccoli Samurai broke ground as the brainchild of Cleveland natives Ryan “Bruce” Hodson and Chris Walker. In December 2009, bassist Steve Fade joined them, and in 2010 they set out their journey to make a footprint in the electronic jam scene. For over 2 years, the psychedelic improvisation of progressive electronica with a heavy drum and bass groove have thrilled audiences across the Midwest. Their positive vibe, energetic stage presence, and undeniable talent have earned them praise among their peers. “Broccoli Samurai inject much-needed playfulness and humanity into the chill out genre. As they put it, “Arrive in good humor, proceed accordingly.”” – Scene Magazine The mind-altering, dub-stepping, trance-grooving, zone out or get off your ass and dance music breathes a breath of fresh air into the jamtronica scene.

Like a recurring rash or the metric system, Little Big Fat flares up just when you think it’s gone. Twelve years in, the collaboration presents as a deep musical itch, the scratching of which reveals the band’s heyday. The recent addition of Marc Gee on vocals and keys adds depth, range, and fullness while Dave Langley’s sultry bass stylings subtly bind the proceedings with a solid yet squishy sense of adventure. Steeped in rock nostalgia but tilting slightly progressive, LBF blends together songs you know and songs you think you know. All are handled with care by those that consider both the jam and the integrity of the song’s foundation equally worthy of focus.
