In the summer of 2006, a bunch of musicians, sharing a common love for funk/soul/jazz music, moved into a nasty old house in Tacoma, WA. Like many other college students out on break, these musicians initially spent their summer working day jobs and casually passing the time. It wasn't long before the television lost out to impromptu jam sessions in their dank-ass basement. Eventually, outside friends/artists/musicians caught wind of what was going down, causing more people to cram into that tiny space (each eager to contribute to the open, creative, and very experimental vibes that this situation had somehow fostered). As time went on, loose jams evolved into halfway decent songs containing an infectious, groove-oriented quality.
At this point the "band" began to reach out, playing college house parties in the surrounding area. This movement has since been accredited with sparking the recent revitalization of Tacoma college parties (more booty-shaking, pelvic thrusting, heavy petting, etc.). In response, the crew took on a collective identity known as 'THE SCHEMATICS'.
Today, The Schematics can be seen playing all around Tacoma's booming music scene...or that is...except on Wednesdays..…on this day of the week they insist on "keeping it real," jamming in that dank-ass basement where it all began, carefully laying the foundation for all "garage funk" groups to come.
