Four Finger Five:
We are currently taking time off to record our first CD. We've recently been signed to Terrestrial Records of Portland, OR. The CD should be a hot one with help from our friend, Karl Denson, who will be a guest artist. We leave for Portland soon, and will be doing gigs while were out there. Be on the lookout for us in your area soon. We'll be doing a country wide tour to promote the CD so get ready, you won't want to miss it. Hendrix. Soulive. Al Green. Led Zeppelin. All are artists that influence and help comprise the music of Four Finger Five. With the band originally forming in Muskegon, Michigan, Four Finger Five has branched out and become one of the most exciting bands around. With a vast array of original material and also a very select list of covers, Four Finger Five cannot be classified as one specific genre. With each member being trained in different areas of music from jazz and blues, to gospel and funk, to rock and classical, and even hip-hop and R&B, all these musical backgrounds are combined both in the writing process and on stage to create a musical environment that can be enjoyed by anyone, regardless of their specific musical tastes. A Four Finger Five gig isnt just a concert, it's a musical production that promises to get you on your feet and to leave you craving more.

The T-Lo Effect:
The roots of The T-Lo Effect can be traced back to the fall of 2003 in the basements and living rooms of Kalamazoo's student neighborhoods. The group decided shortly after to become more serious, and they started writing high energy original material. With a strong focus on musicianship and showmanship, The T-lo Effect is both suitable and adaptable to many environments and in front of a wide range of audiences. The trained ear will be drawn to song structure and composition, while everyday listeners will be drawn to their high energy level and danceable rhythms. The band finds its roots in Jazz, Funk, Rock, and Electronic and isn't afraid to interweave these seemingly contrasting genres.

Ultraviolet Hippopotamus:
"Ultraviolet Hippopotamus is a rare happening! You're in for an awesome night when you catch'em from start to finish. All five guys are excellent musicians, and they search out great sounds from all genera. Ultraviolet Hippopotamus uses creative originals and obscure treasures from others... often creations from friends met along the way... to treat you to one remarkable surprise after another! Even when Ultraviolet Hippopotamus breaks into a favorite everyone knows, there's still a 'never been here before' feel to it. They don't cover a song. They re-create it. I've been thinking about that strange name. After hearing them, I realize ultraviolet isn't a color... it's a wavelength. As for the hippopotamus... enjoy the ride."
