简介

"Refined, cleverly arranged, and catchy as f**k” - FFWDWeekly LA CASA BLANCA is the debut album from 8-piece funk-soul-hiphop collective FREAK MOTIF. To keep the spirit of their high energy improvised live shows, most of the tracks were composed, arranged, and recorded in one session. ******************************************************************************************************************************************** FREAK MOTIF got together in Calgary, AB, in the summer of 2009. Their first jam was a parade along 17th ave one Wednesday night. People came running off of restaurant patios to party in Tomkins park til the police told everyone to go home. That energy started the Wednesday night tradition: musicians from all sorts of backgrounds getting together to play original music, always from the soul, always improvised. Sometimes there were 35 people, sometimes there were 3. Sometimes it was just horns and drums, for a while there was a harp player, and once there was a bagpiper. Gradually the Wednesday night jam became FREAK MOTIF, the band: an 8+ piece dance party featuring a full horn section, singers, rappers, breakdancers and graffiti artists. They’ve played over 60 shows together and toured across Alberta and BC, bringing the jam to house parties, street festivals, the Kicking Horse Sun Splash Festival, Bermuda Shorts Day, and the Calgary Improv Festival. Every show is different, with the audience inspiring the Freaks to create their unique hypnotic grooves live. Some of the band's musical influences are: the Meters, the Roots, Parliament/Funkadelic, Phish, Lee 'Scratch' Perry, and the Budos Band.
