Thanks for checking us out!
CopaSetic, a funk rock band based in the Twin Cities of Minnesota, is often described as a musicians band with mass appeal. CopaSetic is dedicated to exploring a kaleidoscope of musical genres and molding them together with tasty grooves. They strive to play with a combination of swagger, passion and precision that is unparalleled.
MEDIA:
From January 2006 - April 2006, CopaSetic was the featured band on TC Musique T.V. channels 5,6, and 17 as promotion for one of the best known rock shows in the Twin Cities, MN called ROCK WATCH. As the main attraction for ROCK WATCH, CopaSetic performed for over 500 fans along side some of the most talented rock bands in the Metro area. ***Check out the review in their blog***
This past summer in July of 2006, Debra G. was the first featured artist in the Uptown Neighborhood News, a local newspaper of Minneapolis, MN. "Music lovers find depth, talent, and personality in this artist, a self-proclaimed risk-taker who likes change and possesses a sense of adventure." Copasetic (described as Incubus meets Tool meets Aretha Franklin), is the risk and the adventure, "the combination of their fun energy and musical talents creates an infectious vibe in their sets." (Quotes by Michelle Saari, Ph. D. student and a rabid music fan, a volunteer journalist for the Uptown Neighborhood News.)
LOOKING AHEAD:
CopaSetics fun, energetic, happy vibes have connected with audiences at over 30 different venues since CopaSetics birth in September of 2005. CopaSetic is to release an EP by winter of 2006 and start touring the Mid-West soon after to promote their new release.
The desire to grace the world with happy vibes through music gives CopaSetic high expectations for the future.

Band Members:

LEAD VOCALS: CopaSetic is fronted by Debra G. a classically trained vocalist, who is substance with style personified! After 8 years of recital and Opera training and performing lead roles in college level Operas, Debra found a new love for music in songwriting joining CopaSetic in 2005. Miss Gs voice can range from quiet desperation to sheer angst within a breath and is the heart of CopaSetic.

GUITAR: James has developed a unique style that fuses old school funky rhythms with rich, full chords and eclectic melodies not typically found in modern music. His funky compositions are the platform for which CopaSetic is based.

BASS GUITAR: Jon Manning, CopaSetic's psychedelic soul and founding member has a remarkable and innate sense of rhythm. He lays down the thickest of playfully powerful grooves, smooth and sly in his delivery, but yet spices CopaSetic with a sensual touch.

DRUMS/PERCUSSION: The machine that can keep time better than the Swiss, Joe Diaz. Marching drum and bugle corp from 1998-2001 has given Joe a strong technical foundation and a limitless rhythmic capacity; his jazz studies have taught him how to feel the breath and express the soul behind each composition. Exhilarating the mind and body, Joe is the lifeline to which CopaSetic thrives.
Influences: We're literally all over the spectrum, but rest assured it's all groovy!
Type of Label: None
