Red Snapper is a British instrumental band known for their pioneering blend of jazz, funk, trip-hop, and electronic music, creating a sound that is both innovative and distinct. Formed in London in 1993, the group was originally composed of Ali Friend on double bass, Richard Thair on drums, and David Ayers on guitar. They have been recognized for their dynamic live performances, which often incorporate a wide range of influences from punk to dub to afrobeat, contributing to an eclectic and electrifying atmosphere.

Throughout the years, Red Snapper has built a robust discography that showcases their versatility and constant evolution as musicians. Recent releases such as "Flo (Red Snapper Rework)" and "Live at The Moth Club" are a testament to their ability to revisit and reinvent their own material, lending it a fresh, contemporary edge. The tracks, "The Sleepless" and "Suckerpunch," recorded live at The Moth Club, emphasize the band's commitment to live musicianship, often extending their pieces into expansive jams that captivate their audience. With an experimental mindset that serves as the bedrock of their creative output, Red Snapper continues to defy genres and excite listeners with a compelling musical narrative that is entirely their own.
