Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Friday, Dec. 23th, 2005 Gypsy Co-op Jazz Groove Series Presents SKYHOOK and Dammien Alexander w/ DJ Maneco (party sounds) Gyspy Co-op, 817 Queen St. W. Toronto, ON www.gypsyco-op.com SKYHOOK (Montreal/Toronto) The Skyhook sound is an ever-evolving mesh of funk-folk-soul-metal-electronica-inspired sounds. Improvisation lies at the heart of the Skyhook ideal, as the Jazz language is what sits on the unifying throne of stylistic measure. Skyhook is at once powerful, raw, groovalicious, experimental, and sincere. Originally conceived in Montreal by Mikael Tobias of Azuris Aurum ( www.azurisaurum.com), Skyhook is an attempt to incorporate electronics and danceable grooves seamlessly into a heady instrumental context where sonic playfulness and interaction still reign. Dammien Alexander (Philadelphia Fusion) a sneak peak performance of his upcoming release on Jive Village Records "BEAUTIFULLY" Philly-native Dammien Alexander is an unconventional and unapologetic songwriter. His songs have an organic feel, with a distinctive R & B edge – an exciting hybrid of roots and electronic music that you'd swear has a hint of Lenny Kravitz. Soulful and honest, Hollow Adult Body is the first in a trilogy of albums to be released in the next year or so. From intimate acoustic/jazz/soul to roots/rock-fused hip-hop, his songs are profound and delicious sample music from this artist at www.dammienalexander.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 Magnum is something else entirely, Lazlo, he's just a regular playa on the scene, his only real likeness to Tom Seleck is brimming moustache, a massive chest of hair and ball huggin' shorts... not to mention his penchant for wicked music.

Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Can't wait to see Mikel play guitar again,when I helped put on the SLIP show at the Le Petit Cafe Campus a couple years back, Azuris Azurum opened the show and it unfortunately the whole band could not come, so it was a stripped down group with Mikel and a bass and drummer.. they played some sweet music; should be a great night y'all!

Jay Funk Dawg Posted December 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2005 SKYHOOK was awesome! This was the band's first gig and they did it up proper... Although there was no rehersals, the group blended so tightly, mixing delayed guitar, house and percussion beats with solid basslines...hope to have these guys back!! Thanks to all who participated !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
