03/04/26 - Boomslang
Boomslang is a UK-based jazz fusion powerhouse pushing the genre into new territory. Led by bassist Kyle Welch, the band fuses high-intensity jazz virtuosity with the driving energy of drum & bass, the weight of hard rock, and the sonic edge of electronic production.
Known for their uniquely interactive live performances, Boomslang thrive on real-time musical conversation — twisting complex harmony, breakneck rhythms, and deep grooves into something unpredictable and electrifying. Electronic textures play a central role in their sound, with Nat Evans on EWI adding soaring, otherworldly lead lines that blur the line between human and machine.
Joined by Nathan Thomas and Dom Holyoake, Boomslang’s music sits at the crossroads of Tribal Tech’s precision, Chick Corea Electric Band’s fusion legacy, and Squarepusher’s boundary-breaking intensity — delivering a sound that’s as technically fearless as it is physically moving.
Boomslang don’t just play jazz fusion — they rewire it.
Featuring:
@natevanssax - Tenor Sax and EWI 🎷

A huge thank you to Dave Thomas from Cardiff and to @acapelastudiosofficial for having us. And of course to Prog magazine! This kind of thing really makes all the hours worth while :)
Love it - a Prog gig you can actually take your wife to ;)

I actually decided I wanted to do this before Chick sadly passed, just because this is my favourite of the leccy band tunes and it's a bloody banger. Rest in Peace Chick Corea, thank you for your influence and legendary tuneage.
Father (@kippi_welch ) and I wanted to celebrate the music of Lyle Mays who we sadly lost one year ago today. RIP to one of our heros, thank you for the banging tunes
