... to LA's new big vocal band.
We like to do a huge variety of funky stuff, big on horn sections and rhythm sections. Think back to Tower of Power, Sly and the Family Stone, Earth, Wind and Fire, but also a bit more current and rocked out like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. But there are no instruments in this mixed voice, contemporary a cappella ensemble.
We are currently looking for singers and vocal percussionists to audition throughout this Winter and Spring 2008. To cover all the parts in our arrangements, we will have quite a few members, possibly up to 20 or more. But this is just the first round of auditions, setting our musical foundation.
This will be a challenging and creative adventure. We plan to be an active voice in the Venice community as well as the a cappella community, as we are the first Los Angeles-based group in the Contemporary A cappella League (CAL), a part of the Contemporary A cappella Society CASA.org.
Not all of the songs will be big complex arrangements. We will learn, perform and record a variety songs with rhythm being our key feature. Still we will do some Beatles, and other popular favorites.
Once we get our groove foundation, we plan to do plenty of original work. For more details on our repertoire, see here.
