Band Members: J.Seal - Vocals
On the Mic, J Seal ? Joe Seal is a very special person indeed. Not special in the way some people?s needs are, but special in the very truest sense of the word. His heart-on-his-sleeve stage presence coupled with intelligent lyrics delivered with a hint of Gil Scott Heron poetry make him a truly unique front man.
Benofficial - Bass
On Double Bass, Ben Seal ? Innovative facial hair and a hugely energetic performer, Ben does things the only way he knows how - with style (The style may sometimes be questionable, but you can?t deny it?s there!).
B.Burg - Guitar
On Jazz Guitar, B Burg ? Despite barely being visible behind his abnormally large electrical guitar, 22 year old Chris Hall is ?something of a phenomenon? when it comes to beautiful licks and outstanding solos; George Benson-esque according to DJ Magazine.
DJ Red 6 - Turntables
On Turntables, DJRed6 ? Jonny Crawshaw gave up scratching years ago after realising it?s shit and ruins your records. Unfortunately the kids love it and he?s not too bad at it, so he has to do it now and then. Primarily though he acts as an organic midi-trigger dropping small segments of records in with the groove.
Richard Worth - Flute
On Flute, Richard Worth - Richard founded the seminal New York based Jazz/Funk outfit Groove Collective and has been famous ever since. During his career he has opened for Fred Wesley, Bootsy Collins , Herbie Hancock, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul; the list goes on and he?ll be happy to tell you all about it. He has played with The Roots, the Native Tongues, Masters At Work and now Livesciences, though in reality, he?d probably prefer to be on a rock face rather than a stage.
Chris Grieve - Trombone
On Trombone, Chris Grieve - Australian born, Chris is an arranger for the Scottish National Jazz Orchestra as well as playing all over the world. He regularly shares the stage with high-calibre musicians, Ray Charles no longer amongst them.
Kit and Percussion duties on the album are shared by:
Chris Wallace
Chris Wallace - Wallace has a wealth of experience as a session drummer, touring extensively throughout his native Canada before relocating to Scotland a year or two ago. He is the drummer most often to be found on the road with Livesciences despite his unnatural bowel movements regularly threatening the future of the entire band.
Ian Stoddart
Ian Stoddart - A professional drummer with over 20 years experience, Ian also plays with Aberfeldy (Rough Trade) and is a famous face(!) - he was the Washboard player in the film Chocolat with Johnny Depp. He has a wealth of stories to tell you and you may not always have a choice in whether or not you hear them.
