Amidst the polarized climate of today’s music with artist sounding more and more alike, it takes both courage and creativity to do what Collective Hallucination does. Real singing, real music, with real songs about real life. Collective Hallucination does it well. So well in fact artist like Joyce Cooling and Eric Benet have visited the band’s MySpace site and left wonderful comments about the music of this diverse funky, pop, soul, jazz outfit.
“It’s all about the music man”, says Ant Boogie, guitarist and band leader for Collective Hallucination. “We want to play, record and perform good, quality music that touches everyone all over the world.”
The music of Collective Hallucination falls into the category of timeless many have said. The music of CH is the kind of music that survives and resurfaces every time the airwaves get filled with clutter and other stuff that is “for the moment”.
In terms of great music with great singing, songwriting and sound, the Houston based band has found it’s love and fandom from both blacks and whites, rock lovers and soul music purveyors, jazz aficionados and pop purist with their exciting and accessible, honest and emotive recordings and live shows.
To experience a Collective Hallucination song or show is to witness a band of pure unadulterated artistic and soulful significance and elegance. Collective Hallucination is a band who keeps the listener involved and moved from head to heart, from soul to feet, from waist to butt!
With their soulful sound, slow jam numbers and jazzy groove laden pop tunes, the band is a testament to innovative artistry, sensitive musicality and individuality which not only showcases their talent but also their unwillingness to be pigeonholed as an “urban band”. Because of the diversity of their sound it’s hard to label such a tremendous group of individuals. Collective Hallucination does not like labels. Collective Hallucination is the real deal with their cutting edge, emotionally raw, and warm sensual songs.
With a quiet, undeniable confidence combining the raw energy of an all live band with true diversity, Collective Hallucination combines a wide spectrum of musical influences that meld into one. Collective Hallucination has opted to create and expand it’s own sound as opposed to being a carbon copy of current sounds and fads.
Musicianship that is tight and in-sync, on time and in the pocketcourtesy of Brian “B-Funk” Baldwin on bass, Chris "Kool Aid" Delaney on percussions/drums/vocals, and Ant Boogie on guitar along with carefully created tunes with layered harmonies and powerful lead vocals and raps courtesy of a bevy of wonderful vocalists, guest musicians and rappers to deliver an honesty and sincerity in music that will be felt and followed by many for years to come.
