Groove Sequence f. Jimmie Reign + LIVE band

JIMMIE REIGN
Bay native Jimmie Reign has quickly gained a fan base by opening shows for well known artists (Goapele, Jagged Edge, Latoya London, Eric Roberson), her reputation became that of a young woman who was all about business on stage. Now with a more mature sound and way of thinking, Jimmie wants to expand from the Bay Area to beyond. Tirelessly working at her craft and balancing motherhood at the same time would make some want to give up- Jimmie says it only makes her stronger. An exciting live show, a powerhouse voice, and striking looks have earned Jimmie the right to be called a complete package.

Noteput

The Noteput interactive music table was concocted by a pair of German design students back in October of last year, but watching it in action is still a mesmerizing experience. Employing a simple camera beneath the surface, the table can tell what notes you’re placing upon it and play them back — individually when you position them or as a group once you hit the big play button. A noteable feature for is the ability to loop playback and replace notes on the fly.

One Jug of Wine

Written by XARIUSOUND. Posted on February 10, 2010. Filed under Uncategorized. Tagged , , . No comments.

In 2004, Bright Eyes released a six-song collaborative EP with fellow Nebraskans Neva Dinova called One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels (pictured above). On March 23, Saddle Creek will reissue that EP. And Bright Eyes and Neva Dinova recorded four brand new songs last fall to be included on the reissue. (Via TwentyFourBit.)

With Conor Oberst busy with the Mystic Valley Band and Monsters of Folk, this marks the first new Bright Eyes material in quite a long time.

According to Saddle Creek, Oberst and Neva Dinova leader Jake Bellows each sing two of the new tracks. Bright Eyes members Mike Mogis and Nate Walcott, the Faint’s Clark Baechle, and Neva Dinova/the Good Life’s Roger Lewis all contributed to the fall 2009 sessions, too.

One Jug of Wine, Two Vessels reissue:

01 Rollerskating *
02 Happy Accident *
03 Someone’s Love *
04 I Know You *
05 Tripped
06 Black Comedy
07 Poison

these two have been innovating their way through the Bay’s Hip-Hop scene for quite sometime. its almost like’ “finally!” when we got the opportunity to get them on Listening Lounge. the first ever female DJ team to compete in the DMC in its entire 20 year lifespan. they have done much to keep the wheels of the Bay’s turntablist heritage moving and growing including their party Skratchpad which was an “open mic” for DJs to flex their chops and just build with each other. they created a true hub for the community. plus: they will be performing their 2 x 4 set at Listening Lounge. true future hall of famers!

*Listening Lounge
Friday December 18th 9:00pm- 2:00am
@ 111 Minna Gallery San Francisco

2 Rooms of Quality DJs, Live Bands and Inspiring Artwork.

Featuring live performances by the jazz/afro-latin/hip-hop band:

SPACEHEATER’S BLAST FURNACE + Special Guest Vocalists & Emcees from the JAZZ MAFIA COLLECTIVE

Spaceheater’s Blast Furnace is a current phase of the group and is a rhythmically active six piece ensemble that presents melodic and tight horns over an organic patchwork of afro-latin and hip hop rhythms. The new self-titled record is out on Ropeadope Records and was recently reviewed in the East Bay Express. In Dec 2009, the band was fortunate to perform a tribute to the great Rahsaan Roland Kirk in SF Jazz’s Hot Plate Concert Series .

The music is mainly composed and arranged by Evan Francis, a member of the original duo who has made his way performing and recording with a diverse list of musical luminaries: Stevie Wonder, Billy Higgins, JBoogie’s Dubtronic Science, Taylor Eigsti, Christina Aguilera, Lyrics Born, Dr. Art Davis, Mikey Dread, John Clayton, Mike Keneally, Prince Buster & The Shotgun Wedding Hip Hop Symphony. The music on this album is representative of Evan’s background in afro-latin music, especially in the realm of modern Cuban dance music.

As a band, Spaceheater’s Blast Furnace has worked hard to earn support from audiences in and around the San Francisco Bay area, featuring the electro acoustic-laced drumming of Gerald “pDubL” Korte (The shotgun Wedding Quintet) and the deep pocket of Josh Harion the bass, both talented rhythmistswho have backed up artists like Lyrics Born and Peter Rowan. This album also features the work of young trombonist Garrett Smith, who’s impressive resume of employers includes Prince, Maceo Parker, George Clinton and many more. Spaceheater has been fortunate to have live and in-studio associations with artists like Kneebody, Kev Choice, Daedelus, Abstract Rude, Gavin Grant, Mochipet and Seneca
