The ultimate SLAMMIN JACK spinoff & variety show featuring SOUTH JACKTON WARLORDS Scott Daniels (keys/vocals) ~ Sean Scallion (drums/vocals) ~ Jeffrey Kornblum (percussion) ~ Jim Guthrie (bass) with special guests, the dynamic duo of WEIRD JAY YANKIN'IT & BIG BAD BRAD Friday November 9th Starlight Tiki Room in the Waldorf Hotel 1489 East Hastings (1 block West of Commercial Drive) Doors at 9:00 pm Jay & Brad: 10:30 pm - 11:30 pm South Jackton Warlords: 12:00 am - 1:30 am --------------------------------------------------------------------------------We are also very pleased to present a 2-night run with Seattle, Washington's hottest band FLOWMOTION Friday December 28 & Saturday December 29 The Fairview Pub 898 West Broadway Doors at 9:00 pm Seattle-based groove virtuosos Flowmotion seamlessly blend funk, jazz, rock and blues with African and Latin rhythms to create a fresh, unique sound all their own. The group's live performances are renowned for their infectious, positive energy, stellar musicianship – and packed dance floors. Their recorded output garners heavy rotation with fans and casual listeners alike. Formed in 1999 on Washington State's San Juan Island, the group is a favourite of the improvisational rock scene, routinely drawing capacity college, festival and club audiences. Just don't call Flowmotion a jam band … The group's sophomore studio effort, 2005's Is That Right, showcases the quintet's fusion of styles into a heady, funky brew while suggesting things to come -- and demonstrating no small crossover appeal -- with the radio-friendly single "Wild Eyes." Flowmotion is fronted by singer-songwriter Josh Clauson, who penned much of Is That Right, also pulling lead vocal and guitar duties. Backing Clauson is Sabu Miyata, bass; Scott Goodwin, drums and backing vocals; Bob Rees, percussion and vibes; and RL Heyer, guitars and vocals. A self-proclaimed "World Funk Blender," the band is a hard-working outfit, spending nearly 200 days on the road, on average per year. This work ethic has paid dividends, garnering Flowmotion a growing corps of fans from Alaska to California and points east, many trailing the band from show to show. Since its inception the group has also hosted the yearly Flowmotion Summer Meltdown Festival, a groove-packed showcase of likeminded bands, set against the pristine backdrop of Whitehorse Mountain in Darrington, Washington. Fans and initiates alike have also scored their Flowmotion fix at other annual events such as the High Sierra Music Festival; the Oregon Country Fair and Bumbershoot, Seattle's venerable end-of-summer arts and music bash. On tour Flowmotion has made the marquee at such venues as Portland, Oregon's Crystal Ballroom; Seattle's Showbox Theater; and even California's infamous Folsom Prison. Other stops include Boulder Colorado's Fox Theater, the Bear's Tooth Theatre in Anchorage, Alaska and San Francisco's Boom Boom Room. Testimony to the group's crossover appeal, Flowmotion has appeared on stage with such luminaries as Widespread Panic, G-Love & Special Sauce, and the legendary Michael Franti and Spearhead, to name but a few. Solid songwriting, formidable improvisational chops and irresistible rhythms... GO WITH THE FLOW! "Flowmotion may be a Northwest gem, but through constant live shows they have matured into stage veterans about to break onto the national scene." ~ Benjamin Bruce, Relix Magazine "The five-piece Flowmotion delivers enticing grooves and rhythms guaranteed to keep any audience in motion. The band's instrumental work sparkles with originality and flows with precision and purpose. It's been awhile since I've played a new disc so many times in such a short space of time." ~ Mick Skidmore, Relix Magazine "For the long hot days of summer, Flowmotion is your go-to party band … Energetic Jimi Hendrix guitar bravado, driving funk bass lines and Clauson's gruff vocals help ground the songs within the rock genre, while the band's tendency to break into unscheduled improv keeps the live shows fun and flamboyant." ~ Tizzy Asher, Seattle Post-Intelligencer "The band unifies crowds with its vocal melodies, harmonies and stellar rhythm section. It moves seamlessly through original compositions with a liberating mixture of world-funk, jam-rock and sweet ballads that beg total abandonment of self." ~ John Larson, Tacoma Weekly www.flowmotion.net www.sonicbids.com/flowmotion www.myspace.com/flowmotionmusic www.summermeltdown.com --------------------------------------------------------------------------------... and last but certainly not least!
