"A blend of jazz fusion and progressive
house music with a jam band vibe
sounds like a concoction mixed up in
a lab somewhere, or the brainchild of
musicians with decades of experience
under their belt. It’s surprising, then,
to find out that this hybrid was created
by a bunch of kids barely out of
high school.
Appy Polly Logic, its members all
20 and 21 years old, started as a series
of informal jam sessions between
guitarist Damiano Mosher, drummer
Rob Morris, bassist Carlos Soto-Gil,
and saxophone player Mike McQuillan.
With no pressure to produce a sound
that would attract an audience, they
gravitated organically to passionate,
intricate melodies and aggressive
rhythms that weave around the
individual instruments and lock in
to danceable grooves.
“There’s no front man, all the parts
just fuse together,” says McQuillan.
“We spend so much time together
that we’re all on the same wavelength.”
The band has built a strong following
in Doylestown since taking their sound
out of the basement two years ago.
They cut their teeth on First Friday
gigs on the porch of The Night Kitchen
Bakery. Within a few months their
crowds were large enough that they
got shut down a few times for
not having the proper permits to
accommodate all the people dancing
on State Street.
With no lyrics to hang their hooks
on and no established genre to define
their sound, Appy’s success defies
conventional wisdom. But according to
them, the secret is to not think about
it. “We try to be pure musicians,”
says Morris. “We don’t think about
expectations or industry stuff.” Soto-
Gil agrees: “Our main intention isn’t
to play for other people. But when
they like it, it’s a beautiful thing.”
The band started breaking into Philadelphia
clubs in 2008, and is releasing
their first studio effort early this year.
With this growth comes that “industry
stuff,” planning tours, making press
packets and the like. Still, the band is
determined to not let that bother them.
“We’ll be more productive, but it’s not
going to change what we do,” says
Mosher. “It’s all a journey, and I’m
looking forward to new experiences.”
