Jay Funk Dawg Posted November 12, 2004 Report Share Posted November 12, 2004 Cape Breton's Slowcoaster www.houseofrock.ca/sloco.php Satuday, November 27 El Mocambo Upstairs w/ Jomomma www.jomomma.ca and just added!! Vanderpark www.vanderpark.com Slowcoaster is a Cape Breton band, but isn’t what you’d typically expect from a Cape Breton band. Slowcoaster offers something different, something that reflects another side of the island's music scene. The four-piece band represents a younger generation who has grown up with the honesty and integrity so evident in the Island’s Traditional music. With their mish-mash of influences and styles, SLOWCO has produced irresistibly catchy, undeniably danceable songs fusing funk and reggae, with hints of rock, jazz, hip-hop and Afro-Cuban rhythms. The New Self-produced CD”, Where Are They Going? captures all of these influences and presents them in a neatly wrapped package. Where Are They Going? by SLOWCOASTER CHECK 'EM OUT ON THEIR CD RELEASE TOUR: November 19 – The Attic (Halifax, NS) November 20 – Studio 112 (Saint John, NB) November 24 – Maverick’s (Ottawa, ON) November 25 – Jimmy Jazz (Guelph, ON) November 26 – Pepper Jack’s w/ Diesel Dog (Hamilton, ON) November 27 – El Mocambo w/ Jomomma & Vanderpark (Toronto, ON) Check out some free downloads at www.houseofrock.ca jay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boochawan Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Demsky (bass) from Vanderpark with JD (drums) and Mikael (guitar) from Azuris Aurum will be teaming up together with a sax player (I believe?) to open the Slowcoaster show in Ottawa. They are called "Fever." Should be rockin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister slippery Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 good fun last night. vanderpark were quite good, and brought out a lot of people with them. good, tight band, vocals not always too well suited to the songs they were playing, but good. closed with a great tune, called something like "all the hands" (i forget stuff) jomomma were great. excluding the show at the horseshoe they played this summer, best ive seen em in 04. guitar/bass interplay really nice with fantastic jams. these guys have nailed it this year, imo. now, slowcoaster. i thought they were good. i really did. very versatile players, although schizophrenically erratic at times. great sections followed by equally great sections, but not always sounding like the right segues, i guess. my problem with their performance is similar to the gig that Wassabi played at the Green Party event at the elmo on June 25th. wassabi played a killer set, but as the openers, so that anyone who played after them (im looking at you, intergalactic faerie funk) seemed kinda second rate. the same fate befell slowcoaster last night. they played a good show, but it didnt feel right for them to follow jomomma. now, i know it was slowcoasters cd release, but after jomomma, it just didnt totally do it for me. if slowcoaster really wanted to close, they shoulda booked the show with vanderpark and cavern, or something, to justify the closing slot. theyre good, but not jomomma-good, again imo. still, they were really good, very talented players, and i'll definitely go see em again when the opportunity presents itself. good group of folks out last night, nice to see board folks from yesterday and today. tonyrage, frescolopez, PoGuy and PoGirl, basher, stonedphillips, others my drunken brain may have forgotten, it was lovely to see you all, too bad a few of you had to leave much too soon. wow, i talk too much. bye.
