THE QUARTERTONES BIO:

Live rare groove funk over a drum machine.

A collaboration of two classically trained jazz musicians, along with local veteran hip-hop producer, THE QUARTERTONES brings the funk, jazz/hip-hop fusion to another level.

Born of atmospheric smokey lounge club environs, the Quartertones are part professionally classically trained jazz musicians part hip-hop experimentalists groomed on a diet of live show gigging making them both exceptionally musically and highly innovative.

Traversing the land of old soul, jazz, funk, members of The Quartertones have worked and performed with various and style-varied artists such as DJ Spinna, LAL, The Oddities, Pocket Dwellers, Birdapres, Circle Research and the Cryptik Soul Crew.

So I'm gonna take this time to do a little hypeage, 'cause, quite honestly, I'm pretty certain there isn't anyone on this board who wouldn't enjoy the show.

Flattstreet is a young jazzfunk, jam, groove, R&B group from Hamilton consisting of sax, trumpet, guitar, bass, drums and amazing vocals by Sarah Ruba (don't believe me? Hear her voice here... http://www.flattstreet.ca/flatt/music/SarahRuba/SarahRuba-07Please_Send_Me_Someone_to_Love%20.mp3 ). Forming their own combo while in the Hamilton All-Star Jazz band, most of Flattstreet's members have had the opportunity to perform throughout Europe at premiere festivals like Montreux, Viennes and Zeltmusikfest in the summer of 2003. Flattstreet is now making a name for themselves ont he local scene as energetic and skillful young players. Did I mention these cats are only 19-21 years old?

Do yourself a favour and check them out Saturday night at the Casbah. They've been rehearsing every day this week and have some tight shit together. This is an excellent opportunity to catch and support one of Hamilton's youngest, hottest bands.
