Started in 2005, Boogie Matrix Mechanism released their debut album "Glass Candy" over Halloween 2006. They give the audience an eclectic mix of Jam psychedelia, hip hop, blues, reggae, funk n more. This seven piece band gives the audience not just funked out grooves or trippy space, but also some strong messages through the lyrics and entertaining opportunities through crowd participation. Out of Toledo, OH this jam band is bringing a positive vibe with an original mix of styles that few if any are doing today. Through a mutual friend, Brian Bell AKA 'Mainstream' and Bob Maltby, met in the fall of 2003. Immediately they started making music. Mainstream's innovative, often politically based, occasionally psychedelic induced lyrics mixed with Bob's funked out bass riffs along with some added drumming started a simple first band. However after the drummers exit from the band Brian and Bob started reevaluating the seriousness of their musical goals and moved from the trio format to create more of an acoustic sound with Bob playing rhythm guitar instead of bass. Looking for percussion/bass/whatever, In December 2004 Brian ran into an old friend Ben Durham whose band, Blind Sighted, had just broken up. His addition on Bass along with his drummer Eric Lowden laid down a strong foundation for Boogie Matrix Mechanism. A short search for a keyboardist led to Jim Kahmann out of Toledo. Soon after came the addition of lead guitarist John Kuntz into the mix and finally, in November of 2005, Eric's close friend Aaron Armstrong was added in on percussion and the evolution of Boogie Matrix Mechanism continues........ Boogie Matrix independently released their first album "Glass Candy" on Halloween 2006, their second album "Animated Reality" in the spring of 2008. Boogie Matrix recently released their 3rd album LASERGRAPE is Aug. 2009 at Shamy Bash where they opened for Keller Williams.
