Perhaps Concentric started as an idea - to help break Austin out of its blues-rock-post-punk-singer-songwriter-jam-band rut and put some new sounds and ideas on the map. Two years and several band members later, Concentric has arrived - ready to jazz-rock your ass to musical liberation. A bass-drums-sax trio, Concentric’s jazz meets rock meets hip-hop approach is bolstered by synths and samples, melding recognizable sounds into something defiant and new. Our music draws elements from electric Miles Davis, Tortoise, and Medeski Martin and Wood - but is also the fresh, ingenious, and original Concentric sound that’s been brewing below the surface of the local music scene for nearly two years. And now after more brews than we can remember, we're taking to the stage in cool shirts to give the audience something they won't find elsewhere.
