IAMBAND

"In the summer of 2007, four musical engineers from Southwest Michigan teamed together to experiment with their training in performance and practice. Representing over 30 years of combined experience, these engineers designed blueprints for a project they named I AM BAND. This machine was created through the use of a combined lead and rhythm guitar (Seth Kissinger), progressive bass lines that pulsated with every note (Nathan Edwards), a dual wielding display of classical and electronic keyboards (Teddy Bermeo), and a dynamic rhythm section (Jonathon Wolfer). I AM BAND is a musical workbench offering the listener a firm grasp on the familiar styles of todays artists while maintaining a unique and genre-expanding collection of fresh tunes."

Garage Voice

Seattle’s Garage Voice is putting the mood and message of Traditional Gospel music into Garage Rock. Foreboding choruses carry the legacy of Negro Spirituals, while guitar and organ interludes sway between Memphis Soul hooks and sampled Baroque passages. Bruce Pearson switches between screeching Hammond organ solos and playing fuzz bass as a lead instrument. Tommy Panigot brings classical guitar techniques to his electric, often making it sound like two instruments, while Patrick Toney walks the line between rock and hip hop drumming. The music’s tension between the simple and complex reflects the trio’s tension as both refined songwriters and gritty performers.

Genre: Garage Rock / Memphis Soul / Negro Spirituals
