   關於 Downbeat Switch
..Logo design
.. Downbeat Switch - Run from the Sun * * * * * * * * * The Camel w/ LarJar Downbeat Switch is a band of friends with a passion for life, music, and positivity. The group was founded in the Summer of 2002 in Mathews, VA by Wayne (bass) and Meredith (guitar, vocals). They moved to Richmond, VA for college that Summer and began playing with another Mathews High School friend, Michael Register (drums), who had also moved to Richmond for school. They began jamming and recording in Meredith's basement beneath his apartment in the Fan district of downtown Richmond. They soon met up with Bryan Clark (vocals), a Richmond-born vocalist whom they met through Meredith's sister. The band recorded and mixed their first L.P. entitled "Funk Shui", that was comprised of raw demo songs compiled on one disk which they released on June 29th, 2004. Blending rock, funk, reggae, jazz, hip hop, and folk in an eclectic ensemble of riffs, melodies, and grooves. With rhythms from the Caribbean, to Southern rock break downs, Downbeat Switch became known for their quick changes, tight rhythmic melodies, scat-like vocal harmonies, and high-energy live shows around Virginia. In 2005, Doug DeForge (keyboard, turntables), another Mathews, VA native joined the band and the band recorded a follow-up album entitled: "Seconds", which they released on July 6th of 2005. Downbeat Switch continued to tour around Virginia and North Carolina for the following three years until Doug left the band in the Fall of 2008. Tommy Vinson (keyboard), another Richmond-born musician and friend of Meredith's joined the group in the Winter of 2008. They began writing and recording in their new studio they had built in the West End of Richmond at Wayne and Meredith's house. Downbeat Switch released their third self-produced album entitled: "Run from the Sun" on June 5th, 2009. Soon after the CD release, the band met Steve Burns, a local saxophone player that was interested in joining the group. Steve added a soulfully funky sound to the band that had the fans grooving to the tunes even more. Steve continues to play shows with the band as a guest musician. During the recording sessions of "Run from the Sun", the band brought in a talented female guest vocalist named Jenna Bayly to add depth to a few tracks on the album. She worked out beautifully in the songs she was on, and the band asked her to start performing shows with the group full time. Incorporating Jenna into the already tightly knit vocal harmonies between Bryan and Meredith was a challenge that yielded an amazingly unique sound. That propelled the group to an all new level of musicianship. The band continues to play and write music for diverse audiences all over thanks to their open minded and amazing fans everywhere. -THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT! Bryan- Meredith- Wayne- Michael- Tommy ~DbS~

We at the frogfarm feel that our rights at the music event of May 31 were suppressed. we are trying to get together all present and file a class action suit against the sheriffs office of Gloucester county. The sheriffs office has listed the nights activity as a response to to a noise complaint. We need all people who saw or heard anything to come forward to challenge to sheriffs office position in the matter and get listed in the suite.
Please friend the frogfarm sight and come forward with your story.
