LUBRIPHONIC, MIKE MANGAN’S BIG ORGAN TRIO @ 9:00pm
Digging deep and giving it all in everything they do, Chicago’s Lubriphonic specialize in a unique offering of funky rock n’ roll. The septet’s tight and raw sound is immediately familiar, fusing the roots of soul with explosive delivery and sensuous R&B dance music. The Lubriphonic sound is full of precision orchestrations made up of blazing guitars, tight three piece horn lines, soulful songwriting, bluesy vocals and the habit to cut the funk loose. The best description of the band’s sound comes from Relix Magazine: “Superb, adventurous, diverse, simply mesmerizing instrumental work. Steeped in soul, rock, pop, and blues Lubriphonic’s members play with a tenacity and precision that sets them apart from equally proficient bands.”
Mike Mangan has used Big Organ Trio to expand the range of the Hammond trio format, while diving headfirst into uncharted sonic and technical territory on the legendary keyboard. His next effort with his trio is called “Unwound”, and features a variety of guest musicians, including Skerik, Mark Ford (Black Crowes), Steve Molitz (Particle, Phil Lesh) and Munyungo Jackson (Stevie Wonder)! This show is gonna blow up in front of your eyes!!! $10

FLOWMOTION @ 9:00pm
Hidden beneath the bows of Northwest evergreens is Flowmotion, Seattle’s most distinctly diverse rock band. This is an act that fails to fall into an easily packaged genre, succeeds in defying stereotypes, and throws one hell of a party no matter what city, town or festival the five-piece band happens to land in.
Flowmotion is well known in the NW music scene and becoming increasingly familiar up and down the West Coast, yet largely unheard of throughout much of the country. They’ve managed to remain in the “best-kept-secret” vault of the live music scene, all the while honing a live show that exceeds the size of the stages they find themselves performing on. An FM show is a swooping ride through the fingers of rock fueled solely by the expert musicianship of its five parts, producing a sound that’s unmistakably huge. $9

The struggle Lucky Brown faces to reconcile life in a brutal, materialistic world with his spiritual potential mirrors mankind’s universal experience. Lucky Brown is Ricci’s medium to explore and comment on the heart’s vacillation between love and fear, while using original raw rhythm and harmony to project a vision of hope for the future. Also, it’s a helluva dance party….$7
