JAMMINATION

About Me

..
JAMMINATION !
Cream of the crop FUNK/SOUL from Melbourne’s generous musical heart!
Genuine GROOVE MERCHANTS, the go to band for guaranteed LIVE energy and quality musical expression!
The JAMMINATION collective dropped into existence in 2005 with a residency at Revellers, Chapel St Prahran, which continues to this day!! The lads have graced many a party, function and venue as the word spreads…..
What started as a JAM, now eyes the NATION!!
Audiences resonate correct to the Irresistable FUNK Intergalactic Beats and Incandescent Appeal. JAMMINATION in effect.
Dont be suprised to see someone you recognise from bands like K-O, True Live, Diafrix, SIB, The Melodics, Direct Influence, Cookin on Three Burners, 12 tone diamonds, Wonderground or The Bamboos, musically speaking, this band is a large extended family...
At the centre of it all is the magnanimous Stevie Steve, bass player extraordinaire and lead vocalist, who decided to form a line-up of like-minded souls, with the initial idea of simply Jamming in front of a live audience.
Initially their live performances were simply that, an extended Jam (hence "Jammination"). After a few months, the members of the band finally agreed to add some repertoire to their improvised performances, but resolved to keep the spirit of improvisation ALIVE whether they are playing at The Revellers Bar on a Friday night or supporting BASEMENT JAXX at The Esplanade Hotel (as they did in December '07).
JAMMINATION have continued to develop their style of Funk & Soul into something truly unique.…… ...
