keither Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hey Jamheads! Haven't been around for a while to pester everyone as I've been taking over an old top-40 club in Vancouver and turning it into a "groove only" live room. It's a really nice, intimate, & warm room in a good part of town (Kitsilano). It's been a LOT of work so far and we're not done yet, but things are moving along nicely and we're building ourselves our OWN club for jam & groove bands here in the West. Hope to see some East Coast flavours coming through in the fall!! The ALL-NEW SIDE DOOR LIVE GROOVE LOUNGE 2291 West Broadway 604.733.2821 Presents... Thursday July 31 - Wednesday August 13 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thursday July 31 DOPPLER (D)EFECT Only one year after its inception, Doppler (D)efect have attracted much attention in Vancouver's electronic, jazz, & jam band communities. This is a live drum & bass band. That does not mean the band only play hard beats at breakneck speed... though it certainly goes that way at times!! However, the focus of the band is to groove as hard as possible, providing danceable music for its audience. The band draws inspiration from acts such as LTJ Bukem, Aphex Twin, Roni Size, Medeski, Martin, & Wood, and The New Deal. **cover - $5.00 **show starts at 10:30 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friday August 1 WEST COAST FUNK MOB A complex groove machine wherein each musician feeds off the motion of the others to create a unique sound... part hip-hop, part jazz, part freestyle.

Influenced by African and Brazilian cultural music, hip-hop, bebop, acid jazz and contemporary techniques from 20th century classical music, the band creates a relevant and tonal musical dialogue between five like-minded musicians. Fronted by guitarist/composer Rich Rabnett, the band shares (with the exception of the Calgarian drummer Dan) the experience and love of living in the Nelson area. They played their first gigs together over a year ago at the Glacier Gourmet and the Fluid Lounge and since have continued to explore the audible results of combining their personalities. The Rabnett 5's other members are Kiyoshi Elkuf on saxophones, Dan Gaucher on drums, Mike Kennedy on upright bass, and Ian Cox on piano. "This is the best young band I've heard... ever!" ~ Kate Hammett-Vaughan. Though the players have been playing together in different configurations for three years or more, this present group formed in the fall of 2001. The band play regularly in Vancouver at the Sugar Refinery, the Backstage Lounge, Cafe Deux Soleil, the Cellar Jazz Cafe and the Western Front. The band has been featured on CBC, college radio throughout Canada and has played sold out shows at the Vancouver Jazz Fest this past summer. **cover - $7.00 **show starts at 10:30 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- **SPECIAL EVENT** Sunday August 10 Discover Entertainment Presents from Calgary GUERRILLA FUNK MONSTER Guerrilla Funk Monster is a four piece original band with an experimental musical style that blends rock, blues, funk, punk, reggae, and world music in such a unique way that it is hard to categorize. They simply cannot be defined by just one genre. Their eclectic mix of songs provides the audience with diversity, intensity, and creative musicianship. THE ONE THING THAT REMAINS THE SAME IS THAT THEY KEEP PEOPLE CAPTIVATED ON AND OFF OF THE DANCE FLOOR ALL NIGHT LONG WITH THEIR INTENSE GROOVE-ORIENTED SOUND. Guerrilla Funk Monster draws inspiration from a wide range of influences that include: Jimi Hendrix, The Meters, Funkadelic, James Brown, Tom Waits, Captain Beefheart, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Soundgarden, Faith No More, The Minutemen, The Melvins, The Stooges, Bob Marley, Fishbone, and Fela Kuti. The band’s current lineup has been together since November 2000 and has amassed a lengthy repertoire of over 30 first-rate originals, a dozen solid covers, and hours of sweaty, danceable jams. They have an extremely strong presence on stage and exhibit a seemingly endless amount of energy regardless of whether they are playing their first song or their last. web page **cover - $5.00 **show starts at 9:30 PM --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Monday August 11 KYNKAYD **with special guest Jack Duncan from Sekoya on percussion** Kynkayd are in the business to move.
