Zoo - Reggies Chicago

ZOOFUNKYOU

The music played by Zoofunkyou is influenced by the classic rock of the 60’s and 70’s, but is also laced with the loose vibes of jamming. The freedom to explore our instruments is endless and what ever comes to mind wil be played through the instruments as a stream of sonic bliss. Zoofunkyou will also keep the classic rock and popular tunes alive with their own twist.

LITTLE BIG FAT

Like a recurring rash or the metric system, Little Big Fat flares up just when you think it’s gone. Twelve years in, the collaboration presents as a deep musical itch, the scratching of which reveals the band’s heyday. The recent addition of Marc Gee on vocals and keys adds depth, range, and fullness while Dave Langley’s sultry bass stylings subtly bind the proceedings with a solid yet squishy sense of adventure. Steeped in rock nostalgia but tilting slightly progressive, LBF blends together songs you know and songs you think you know. All are handled with care by those that consider both the jam and the integrity of the song’s foundation equally worthy of focus.

CAUGHT ON CLINE

Caught on Cline has a vision to create positive music and a culture, which broadens our perspective of social barriers and stereotypes, through a cornucopia of musical notions. From the Jazz motifs on the trumpet, to Mediterranean and Middle Eastern runs on the bouzouki, to the funky soulful rhythm section, Caught on Cline encompasses the diversity musically that creates their ethos.

Coming into fruition in the summer of 2014, it has conjoined musicians from Funk, Soul, Jazz, R&B, and World Music, to organically engineer articulate, dynamic and harmonious melodies that ring in the memory of the listener, be it an adolescent set of ears to a mature trained professional.

Caught on Cline’s self titled debut album, is a collaborate effort from founding members Nicholas Kazonis, Alex Akers, Ray Vick, and Nikolce Janakievski with the help of good friend Keith O’Brien to expose the sincerity of the human sentiment. The members pull experiences from their everyday lives of teaching, traveling, and humanitarian service, to closer connect to the lives of their listeners with the passion and love they can relate to.
