whiteymuseum Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 [color:green]Cincinnati Records Proudly Presents Thursday July 26th 8pm Doors, 9pm Show $8 || 19+ (Limited all-ages) || CASBAH, 306 King St W || 905-521-4441 SLOWCOASTER (11:30pm) Coming from Cape Breton Island, Slowcoaster offers an alternative to the traditional Celtic tunes for which the area has become so well known - something which reflects another side of the island's music scene...A mish-mash of influence and style produce irresistibly catchy songs which are both honestly written and undeniably danceable. The music is a fusion of funk and reggae, with hints of rock, jazz, hip-hop and Latin rhythms forming a distinct original sound. Steve MacDougall (Lead guitar & vocals)|| Mike Lelievre (Bass guitar, vocals)|| Brian Talbot (Drums)|| Darren Gallop (Percussion, vocals) THE GRASSROOTS DEVIATION (10:30pm) The Grassroot Deviation is a four piece musical group relentlessly wandering the spectrum of roots, rock and funk. Blending a multiplicity of musical genres, expressive lyrics, compelling rhythms and guitar harmonies, the band delivers a vibrant and explosive live experience.They have shared the bill with an eclectic range of acts including Wassabi Collective, Captain Tractor, Five Alarm Funk, The Uncas, Blue Quarter, and The Fabulous Beefeders. In March 2006, The Grassroot Deviation released their self-titled debut album. The disc has been compared to “a soothing road trip…with a quick detour through the funk bars of Detroitâ€.

kookycanooky Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 this band rocks. sarah you saw them lacking one member, Darren. They still did their thing, but he adds a whole other element to the sound. I'm excited.Looks like they're hitting up the west coast too so i'm pretty confident he'll be along this time.

slavetothegroove Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Grassroot Deviation rocks too! I seen them at least a dozen times when I lived out west and their just so wholesome and groovy. Definitely suggest giving them a ear and a nice warm east coast welcome, it's their first eastern tour. I'll probably go check out their Montreal show.CheersSteph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whiteymuseum Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 (edited) On the very same night, next door in the lounge will be an acoustic show headlined by Toronto's MEGAN HAMILTON. She's releasing her newest disc that night. You are exempt from the $5 cover if you pay the $8 for Slowcoaster et al. Here are some links: MEGAN ANNIE SHAW, the opener JAMES REA, the opener #2 Edited July 12, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Funk Dawg Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Nice show last night - Slowcoaster were intense!here's some lyrical snibits:"Put Black Garbage Bags on the Windows""I have no Soul""Fuck Last Night - Tonight is the new last night""You Can't Change me - So cry yourself to sleep"I didn't realize how dark & mysterious their lyrics are - definitely going to do more investigating into their meaning.
