Check out Twiddle:http://www.myspace.com/twiddlemusic

Twiddle, a Vermont-based quartet, spins tall-tales over an intricate soundscape of Hi-def shred. Twiddle has started a frenzy on both coasts with complexities that conjure up Coltrane, Ranglin, and Zappa, yet still embracing the roots of jam-band traditions. Finally, a group of musicians who not only understand climactic build and release, but deliver their intricate compositions night after night to jazz purists and screaming fans, all at the same time. Twiddle is a sound that defiantly weaves and dodges through genres. It’s three-dimensional music. You can see it from all sides, and even serve it to your guests. It’s Twiddle. Tasty.

Boris Garcia isn’t a person but a band, an ensemble that starts with what is called jamgrass – “We’re all folkies at heart,” remarked one band member – but also fuses a dozen strands of American music into a rich, ever-evolving whole. Bluegrass, jazz, rock, folk, Celtic, soul, blues – you can hear them all. It is a band that didn’t even start out to be a band, merely a recording project. But once these old acquaintances started making music together, the music created its own momentum; they played for a friend’s party, and realized they were a band, and haven’t stopped since.

Rejecting the status quo of static, electronic beats, the DownBeat Keys record and perform all of their songs with live instruments, imparting their sound with an explosive energy unparalleled in contemporary music. Spitfire MCs Similie and Ill Will ride the band’s crashing sonic wave with incendiary flow, deft word play, and intricate story lines. Combined, these musical forces create everything from raging party anthems to poignant portraits of life and love. The talents of this young group have not gone unnoticed. In just a year and a half of existence, the DownBeat Keys have attracted looks from several major record labels, opened for Talib Kweli, Soulive, and Matt and Kim, and performed at top-tier NYC venues The Bitter End and Sullivan Hall.
