Remember the good old days, when funk-fusion wasn't all about showing off your chops, it was more about creating moods and the importance of songwriting? Well Chad Smith’s Bombastic Meatbats certainly remember those days. Having studied the classic 70's recordings of such fusion greats as Return to Forever and Jeff Beck, the Bombastic Meatbats which includes Chad Smith, Keyboardist Ed Roth (Annie Lennox, Shuggie Otis, Brothers Johnson), guitarist Jeff Kollman (Jill Scott, Glenn Hughes), and bassist Kevin Chown (George Benson, Uncle Kracker), continues to reinvent and introduce the party funk genre to new generations of fans.

The Bombastic Meatbats has released two studio albums, "Meet the Meatbats" (iTunes Top 10 Jazz Album) and "More Meat" (iTunes Top 10 Jazz Album & Billboard Top 25 Jazz Album), along with a third concert album, "Live Meat and Potatoes." Chad Smith originally crossed paths with Kollman and Roth while acting as the backup band for singer/bassist Glenn Hughes (Deep Purple). Through jam sessions, the trio developed an instant chemistry and Kollman suggested that Kevin Chown would be the perfect four-string fit. Voila!...the Bombastic Meatbats were born. Their funky compositions are typically written while the band jams in the infamous Tiki Room at Chad's home in Malibu.

The Bombastic Meatbats are already leaving their mark on musicians around the world with tribute bands popping up in both Japan and South America. Numerous critical accolades include Spin Magazine, "The music is crammed with enough thrilling tracks to give Phish-heads a contact high" and Rolling Stone’s Patrick Flanery exclaiming, “They’re one of the greatest live bands I’ve ever seen." Anti-Music says, "This is super-charged music that runs the gamut of moods...Chad and the guys are pouring their joy of music out through each and every note," while Ultimate Guitar remarks, "Bombastic Meatbats were born and are now delivering the monstrous dose of funk that has been missing for a while. This is one act that won’t remain under the radar."

With an overabundance of funk, rock, and fusion at their disposal, the Bombastic Meatbats continue to elevate "daddy's jazz" to a whole new level, or as Ed Roth sums it up in five words, "Sexy. Funky. Heavy. Forbidden Fun." We couldn't have said it better ourselves.
