The Blockley is Philly's Jam Band homeland. Saturday, June 20 will be a special one! Suckerpunch, featuring members of The Disco Biscuits, The New Deal and Lotus, will be rocking out the stage with our good friends Cartullus and BlendMode.
The livetronica supergroup SuckerPunch is Marc Brownstein and Aron Magner of the Disco Biscuits, Jamie Shields of the New Deal, and Mike Greenfield of Lotus. Brownstein is the bassist of the Disco Biscuits as well as several other side projects including Conspirator. Anyone who has ever attended a Biscuits show or other venture of Brownstein's knows that his live set is not something to be missed. Brownstein's partner-in-crime, Aron Magner, will also take the stage as keyboardist. Magner, like Brownstein, is a founding member of the Biscuits, Conspirator and many other musical endeavors. From Canadian band The New Deal we have Jamie Shields, also on the keyboard. This will be one of Shields' first live appearances since tND split up this past January. Shields and tND are well known in the live music community, and always guarantee a good time. Rounding out the SuckerPunch lineup, Mike Greenfield of Lotus will be joining on the drums. Music fans know Lotus and Greenfield kill it live--no further explanation necessary. - See more at: http://www.bbkingblues.com/bio.php?id=2739#sthash.Hdglzvwk.dpuf
Catullus is an up and coming, genre defying band surfacing out of the Philadelphia music scene. Comprised of five talented musicians with a drive to create more than music, Catullus aims to ignite a vibe that makes each experience and show special. Each member brings something unique to the table resulting in the end product; an unparalleled sound.
BlendMode fuses many genres of music, including everything from jamtronica, psychedelic funk, drum and bass, and dance rock, into their own unique musical sound. Their music incorporates high energy rifts and exploratory jams into modern dance beats that feed off the energy of their fans. This four-piece band was founded in 2012 by AJ Gillman (drums), Jamie Doyle (percussion), Joey Cohen (bass), and Robert Reynolds (guitar),w/ newest member Kevin Cooper, with the intention of combining electronic instrumental rock with live improvisational jams. Due to their eclectic range of musical influences, BlendMode creates a musical experience that can be appreciated by a large range of audiences.
Both Catullus and BlendMode will be at Stir Fry Music Festival this year!
