Last night, fans of the New York Knicks received more than just a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves. During the halftime show, Theo Katzman played one of his new tunes from his upcoming Heartbreak Hits release, due out in January 2017. While the band did not include its most recent touring members, Joe Dart and Julian Allen, the Vulfpeck drummer/guitarist/vocalist did recruit some New York favorites to join him, including Louis Cato on bass, Jordan Rose on drums, and Tomek Miernowski on keys.
Katzman went Facebook Live for the occasion, sharing the pre-show excitement with all his fans to see before he stood center stage and rocked the house with his screaming guitar and inimitable vocals. He played “Pop Song” as the 90-second teaser at the last timeout of the first quarter, then went live for the halftime show with “Lost and Found” and “Hard Work.” Thanks to YouTube user Vulfscape, you can watch the full performances below:
We recently sat down with Theo Katzman for a two-part interview to discuss what it means to be Vulfpeck and the timing and inspiration for his solo album. Expect big things from Theo Katzman in 2017!
