Jasmadonic
Jasmadonic is a minimalist electrofunk band from the Midwest United States, focused on abstract concepts expressed through looped funk and new wave beats, with lyrics about politics, spirituality, sexuality, esotericism, and other cosmic happenstance. We don't use "Fruity Loops" or other software or flash application to make our music- we have two real keyboard players and they can funk the shit out of a repeated riff thats in the pocket. We all play by ear, we all sing on key, we write our own lyrics, and we don't oversing the melodies.Band/artist history
Formed in mid-2008 in Illinois.Have you performed in front of an audience?Todd plays live in Detroit from time to time with his other band, Saynanayno, a jazz-funk band. Jason has performed live, but not in awhile- he produces music as a hobby and for others. Monkeyclaus, my other beat man, is a regular at Tony's place in Northwest St. Louis. We will have guest appearances by Geoff and Mr. Pauli from the funk band "Bumper" also, as well as other various artists.

Much respect.............GadgidiotHola friend, I enjoy the Shadows song, the beat is hittin in my stereo. I rated your song a 4 of 5. I would have rated a 5 but the lyrics are a little too loud for the song, other than that, you did a good job on this one.All comments (3)
