Bio
.... .. .... .. It is difficult to imagine another band experiencing the same musical journey as the live trance band Harvyst. Their ten year existence has seen them transform through various incarnations into a dance-inducing traveling party. Harvyst have successfully infiltrated the dance/DJ scene local to their home in the Midwest in a short period of time. The summer of '09 has seen them expand into a variety of venues, including outdoor festivals, multiple sets at breweries, and underground raves. A Harvyst show has always been a unique performance unto itself, a one-time event that will never be repeated, and listeners across the state have long been confused, intrigued, and entertained by their sonic explorations. .... .... .. After a year defined by change -- political, environmental and certainly economic -- local live electronic trance/dance band Harvyst is reaping the rewards of a change of its own: In the past year, the band has transitioned from producing the metal-based music it has performed throughout the last decade to creating the dance-inducing music it performs today... ..... "At the 'Jack Your Body' dance music event held at The Volt teen nightclub in Plainwell on May 2, Harvyst played a chest-thumping, bass-heavy set which, between the music and the smoke machine/laser light combination -- defiantly put the "trance" in trance/dance... Klamer's throbbing bass notes and Ferguson's penetrating drumbeats pulsed relentlessly, the band transforming into the venue's very heart -- each beat surging pure energy like blood through the veins of the club's black-lit walls as Pool's keys and programming effects crooned through the space like something from the soundtrack to a dystopian science-fiction flick." -Simon Thalmann, Kalamazoo Gazette..
