"Turtle Soup is goood... Turtle Soup is delicious!" - John Popper (Blues Traveler)


Turtle Soup is a tasty original blend of rock, funk and trance with Latin and world music accents. Based in New Jersey, their unique sound, upbeat songs and explosive musicality have audiences in the Northeast US coming back for more. Every year, they donate a 4-hour set for charity at the New Jersey Marathon (sometimes to crowds over 10,000 strong), and now Turtle Soup's signature style is growing quicker than ever in the tight-knit music festival community.
Critics also approve with glowing reviews and awards. Turtle Soup was named "New Groove of the Month" at jambands.com, and they've won "Top Jam Band" and "Top Groove Band" at the Asbury Music Awards for several years in a row. Their self-titled CD was mastered by the double Grammy Award Winner, Tom Ruff. CD reviews favorably compare them to classics such as Santana, The Grateful Dead and The Who, while at the same time recognizing them as torch-bearers for a new generation.

They have been paying their dues, and have played with Furthur, moe., Blues Traveler, Steve Kimock's Crazy Engine, Jim Weider's Project Percolator, Ween, Gongzilla, Dark Star Orchestra, Marshall Tucker Band, Max Creek and many others, gaining several endorsements along the way. They have adopted an open taping policy, and post full shows on the Live Music Archive to share their music with their fans.

Turtle Soup's quintet is Jeff "Mudd" Mahajan (Vocals, Guitar, Guitar Synth), Ben Feld (Vocals, Keyboards), Michael McDermott (Bass Guitar), Andy Meyer (Drums) and Mark Nettleingham (Percussion). A dynamic ensemble, they combine the technical prowess of jazz with the energy and charisma of rock and funk. Modern electric and synthesized sounds mesh with one of the world's first instruments, drums and hand percussion, to create dance grooves that take the listener on an adventure that defies time. Their sound is organic and futuristic, all at once creating a sensation that is unmistakably fresh.

The new side project of DJ Logic, Steve Molitz and Freekbass kick off their mini tour on 4/20 in Kansas City, Mo.


head

The group's debut will be on 4/20 in Kansas City,MO at Crosstown Station, for the start of a week of initial shows,ending on Saturday,April 24 in Cincinnati,OH at the Play By Play Cafe:



Tuesday, April 20 : Crosstown Station -/ Kansas City, MO

Wednesday,April 21 : 2720 Cherokee -/ St.Louis, MO


Thursday, April 22 : Headliners - / Louisville, KY


Friday, April 23 : V Club - /Huntington,WV


Saturday, April 24 : Play By Play -/ Cincinnati,OH


HGMN: Where did you guys first meet?
 
Freekbass: Logic and I met in person for the first time at the Church of Universal Love and Music in Acme,PA. We were both playing shows there that night for the FunkFest they were having. Logic asked me to come up during his set to jam with him and Steve.  Mike Gordon had brought up the idea of all 3 of us doing a project together a couple of months before that,  so we were on that 2 degrees tip for a bit before that.
Steve and I actually met a few years ago at a Particle show in Louisville. Buckethead was opening for Particle on that tour, and Bootsy Collins invited me to come down with him to the show to see Bucket. Before Particle's set, Steve and I rapped for a quick minute.
 
HGMN: Have you guys ever played together before?
 
Freekbass: No , this was the first time. Not to sound over the top, but it felt like we had been playing together for years. Very natural and not forced at all.
 
HGMN: Who came up with the band name?
 
Freekbass: As you know we had a reach-out through Twitter for people to give us ideas for a name. We got so many great ideas. A lot of the ones we really liked were already being used by other bands. We also thought about just going with the 'LMF' (Logic,Molitz,Freekbass) tag, but we wanted to keep this group open enough name-wise, where we could add or subtract members in the future if we wanted.
 
So, when we were down to our last couple of days to nail it down, we got an email from this bass player guy named Bootsy, who sent over a bunch of very cool names. Headtronics was one of them, and it just seemed to be the one that stuck and fit the vibe of what we were doing .
 
HGMN: Do you guys plan on doing any studio work together?
 
Freekbass: For sure, and we are going to record all of the shows on this first initial swing, so hope to be able to release some live stuff very soon. Every show should be very different. 99.9% of the show will be improv.
 
HGMN: How would you describe your sound?
 
Freekbass: Wow, we are so new not sure if we have one yet...funktronica maybe ?  ;)
 
HGMN: What are your future plans for this project?
 
Freekbass: On top of this small tour we are doing in April, we plan on releasing a full length CD, and continue to tour. We hope to do a lot of festival and club dates this upcoming summer.

SOJA - Born in Babylon CD

SOJA’s latest album is an album worthy of hearing, amidst a stream of not-so-conscious Reggae that seems to be today’s norm.
Showcasing Musical Legends and Supporting Charitable Causes
BRIDGEPORT, CT (March 23, 2010) - Gathering of the Vibes 2010 marks the third installment of a five-year contract with the city of Bridgeport to host the annual music, arts and camping festival at Seaside Park through summer 2012. After drawing 20,000 revelers per day to the 370-acre venue last year, the city and festival organizers look to spread more positive Vibes in 2010.  This all-ages, family-friendly event will be held from July 29 to August 1. The festival caters to both weekend campers and single-day guests; both will have access to the park, including its shaded groves, manicured fields and more than a mile of Long Island Sound beachfront.

 

The initial 2010 lineup includes the reunion of LES CLAYPOOL'S PRIMUS, reggae legend and 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame-inductee JIMMY CLIFF, Grateful Dead's MICKEY HART and BILL KREUTZMANN'S RHYTHM DEVILS featuring KELLER WILLIAMS, reggae sensation DAMIAN MARLEY with special guest hip-hop icon NAS, pedal steel guitar master ROBERT RANDOLPH & THE FAMILY BAND, New Orleans funk outfit GALACTIC, and many, many more!

 

Other confirmed artists include Steve Kimock Crazy Engine; Umphrey's McGee; Beastie Boys' DJ "Mix Master Mike"; Jackie Greene Band; Little Feat; Martin Sexton featuring The Ryan Montbleau Band; New Riders of the Purple Sage; Donna Jean Godchaux; Dark Star Orchestra; Zach Deputy; Big Sam's Funky Nation; and Max Creek. The Sunday-night headliner and Green Vibes Stage artist announcements are forthcoming.

 

Since its inception, Gathering of the Vibes and its fans have made "giving back" a priority through their  support of numerous social causes. In 2008 and 2009 combined festival organizers have donated more than $125,000 to local Bridgeport charities, the Connecticut Special Olympics and many other worthy not-for-profit organizations. In 2009, festival attendees donated 5,500 pounds of non-perishable items to local and state food banks. The festival's bold "Green Vibes" environmental initiative ranges from an aggressive on-site recycling campaign to educating fans on the current research and development being done, and the progress being made in the field of alternative energy.

 

Gathering of the Vibes began in 1996 as a celebration of the life of Jerry Garcia, who passed away the previous summer.  Initially named "Deadhead Heaven", the festival provides an annual forum for fans from across the country to remember the countercultural icon.  In each of its past fourteen years, Gathering of the Vibes has paired legendary artists with emerging acts to appeal to a wide cross-section of live-music fans.

 

WHAT:  Fifteenth Annual Gathering of the Vibes Festival

WHEN:  July 29 - August 1, 2010

WHERE:  Seaside Park, Bridgeport, CT

INFO:  www.GOVIBES.com

TICKETS:  A limited number of Weekend Camping Passes are on sale for $165; VIP Passes for $420. Single-day tickets will be available when the final band schedule is announced next month. For tickets and information go to www.GatheringoftheVibes.com or call Vibes HQ at 203.908.3030.
