Calgary's own Power R&B, blues, soca, ska, jazz, funk, fusion septet.Band/artist history
We started out in 1998 after some years doing other people's music. Now we have three or four songwriters in the band, and there is only one rule: No rules. We will play any song, regardless of style, if we feel it's good.Have you performed in front of an audience?Yes. All over the place. We've been playing BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and we played Ontario, Quebec, and the East Coast with BB King recently . We have backed Long John Baldry, Lighthouse, Doug and the Slugs, The DownChild Blues Band, Powder Blues, and before this Eastern Tour, we toured Western Canada with BB last fall.
Your musical influences
Louis Prima, Charlie Parker, Billy Holiday, the Beatles, Frank Zappa, Peter Gabriel, Tower of Power, Dylan&the Band,the Specials, the Guess Who, Desmond Dekker, Bob Marley, James Brown, XTC, and of course, the RAMONES. (Rob)What equipment do you use?
We are a low tech band. Hammond B3, tape echo, Mellotron, Moog, old guitars, accordion, basses, pianos, brass, reeds, etc.Anything else?
Fernando sez: We put out just as much if not more energy than a really kickin' metal band, that's the vibe we have.
Rob sez: Yeah, personally, I'm exhausted, yet strangely alert...You have to see this band live to experience the energy and passion that their performance exudes. Not only is their sound sharp, crisp and captivating, so are these gentlemen dressed in their tailored suits. They reinvent everything from Cole Porter to James Brown and mix it up with some notable originals. I think they are the essence of what music should be: strong songs, sensational sounds, and sexy suits.damn this be nice. keep on tha ill ish here. check out my soundclick page and listen to Maybe It's Me and my otha tracks. Let me know what u think. 1 Luv.Due to the fact that there were sadly no CD's for sale at the Ness Creek Festival I have tried to find another way to get them. How do I order them? Are they for sale in Calgary?All comments (4)
