Pocket Space
The Grand Fiasco
Pocket Space
Pocket Space is a funky, four-piece band based in Lawrence, Kansas, that plays mostly instrumental music. Pocket Space combines traditional song forms, extended solo and group improvisation, intricately woven grooves, and \"avante garde sonic xperimentation\". Pocket Space's original compositions stylistically meld the nuances of each member's range of influences ? from bebop (Charlie Parker) to rock (Pink Floyd) to funk (The Meters) to organ jazz (Dr. Lonnie Smith/Brother Jack McDuff) to fusion (Mahavishnu Orchestra). The experienced rhythm section has a way of making odd-metered original tunes funky and danceable. Pocket Space continues to orbit the earth on the path blazed by its predecessor, Space Pocket. Beginning in 1998, they steered the band through gigs all over the Midwest, where the have shared the bill with national touring acts such as Widespread Panic, Jazz Mandolin Project, Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey, Robert Walters 20th Congress, Hairy Apes BMX, and others.
Brother Bagman
This quartet from Kansas City is an eclectic rock and roll stew for the masses. Drawing upon a wide range of influences, the group strives to transcend musical boundaries while carving out their own distinct sound. Their high-energy music mixes reggae, jazz, and rock rhythms. Their influences include, but are not limited to, Widespread Panic, Radiohead, Wilco, North Mississippi Allstars, Little Feat, and anything else that moves the soul. Brother Bagman has been playing regionally throughout Kansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa and Texas. They have just completed and released their first studio album, notorious b.a.g., and are playing to live audiences as much as possible.
Tabla Rasa
Tabla Rasa provides \"music powered by soular energy\". Established in 1997, the band combines the distinct musical elements of its members to form a unique and eclectic blend of rock, folk, and tribal music. With diverse instrumentation that combines guitars, mandolin, congas, and timbales, the Tabla Rasa sound is based on a rock groove with a percussion layer of tribal rhythms trickling through the cracks. The result is an aggressive, high-energy, spiritual experience that has matured over the past five years into a sharply honed sound. Tabla Rasa often can be found in the various clubs throughout the Kansas City, Columbia, Maryville, Tulsa, and Lawrence areas. The band has developed a strong local following throughout the region and supports a strong mailing list of fans. And with its first album, Barefoot, currently in stores, and the newest album, The View From Here, released in October 2002, Tabla Rasa continues to be recognized for its unique sound and energy as it spreads to a larger audience.
The Grand Fiasco
In the spring of 2001, the pieces of several Kansas City bands floated apart. Not being the type of musicians to let their musical chops gather dust, the remnants of the Troubadours ? Jerry Kolich (guitar and vocals), Nate Herrington (percussion and vocals), Nate Herrington (percussion and vocals), and Mitch Higgins (drums)
