..HEADSPACE (2007)
Lead by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Deninzon, Stratospheerius unleash their fourth collection of songs. Hot on the
heals of their acclaimed CD, "Live Wires" , "Headspace" brings their live energy into the studio. Vocal rock anthems like "New Material, "Old Ghosts", and "Today is Tomorrow", shout alongside ripping instrumentals. From the bluegrass punk of "Gutterpunk Blues", to the psychedelic roller coaster ride of "Mental Floss", and the bigger and louder sequel to the
Heavy Metal Hora "Heavy Shtettle II". The disc also features a unique cover of The Police "Driven to Tears". This CD is filled with memorable hooks alongside the death-defying instrumental jams the group has built its reputation on. Influences range from Mahavishnu, Zappa and Zeppelin, to Dave Matthews, Radiohead, Jeff Beck, and Bela Fleck.
"Fleshing out the Stratospheerius sound are: Out-of-this-world strings, sultry guitar, rumbling basslines, frantic drumming, and celebratoryvocals that enunciate lyrical outlines of life. The songs are gripping and energetic. Insistent melodies are made
compelling by the violin passion. Fevered solos are cradled between lyrical passages that tremble with breakout rock stamina. A Bayou flavor lurks in several tracks, creating a strange fusion of bluesy funk and progressive tendencies. The result is goodtime music that will get you dancing."

Stratospheerius is the bastard child of Frank Zappa, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Dave Matthews, and Blues Traveler. Lead by electric violinist/vocalist/mandolinist Joe Deninzon, the band has showcased their "psychojazz trip funk" at colleges, festivals, and clubs throughout the US. The New York-based group has opened for Tim Reynolds, The Slip, Ekoostik Hookah, and John Scofield among others. Their live performances are filled with funky dance grooves, rip-roaring guitar/violin jams, and hooks that mix jazz, funk, and world beat. The group was a winner in the John Lennon Songwriting Competition, won the Online People’s Choice Awards in the Cornucopia Festival, and was named “Best Jam Band” in Musician’s Atlas Independent Music Awards. They have been featured in Relix, Downbeat, Jazziz, among other publications. After receiving heavy airplay and critical acclaim all over the US, Canada, Australia, South America, Japan, and Europe with their “Live Wires” CD, they have just completed their fourth release, “Headspace”, available at www.stratospheerius.com.
