Sounds Like
Like Sly and P-funk based sound with added elements from various types of Middle Eastern, Classical and jazz fusion genres. The sound of Danny Bedrosian and Secret Army is not quite that easy to pigeonhole, as once you hear it, you will realize this is a very unique group; But thats one way to kinda put it. It is topped with a lot of concepts, characters, audience participation, and an overall spiritual energy that is so infectious.
SECRET ARMY is the brainchild of PFunk Keyboardist Danny Bedrosian, who fronts the band that features Pfunk/original Headhunters guitarist Dewayne Blackbyrd Mcknight, and Pfunk Bassist Lige Curry, P-Funk Drummer Rico Lewis, German-born, Boston based musician Marc Munoz, The Soular System's guitarist Mike Maloney, Florida vocalist Teresa Jimenez, and Danny's sister keyboardist/Singer/songwriter Elise Bedrosian
SECRET ARMY's genuine musicianship combines Big Funk sound with a variety of genres; Armenian and other Near Eastern modes, scales, and rhythms as well as a hefty amount of insight from various Classical music genres from various periods with a heavy concentration on Baroque and early Modern classical forms, Jazz Fusion of a new sort, Heavy rock sounds, Hip Hop flavor, Soul, Gospel, and much more!
The band has played sold-out shows in the south, the midwest and the northeast. Secret Army also has a huge European and Australian fanbase, and is working with BoogieDown Productions' Paul Quinn on upcoming work in Europe and the UK.
Secret Army/BOZFONK Street Teams are popping up all over the world, with active membership in advertising, consignment, distribution, bookings, and promotion in over 20 U.S. States, 3 Canadian Provinces, The UK, France, Holland, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand. Secret Army has been winning new recruits all over the world. The band also has deals with hundreds of record stores, and digital distribution deals with hundreds of companies. BOZFONK's U.S. and European sales have tripled in the past year alone.
The technical and artistic talents of the musicians and vocalists involved have been impressing people over and over again, as the band grooves out renditions of the songs from the debut Secret Army album, as well as the newest double disc The Sleaziest of The Greaze; In addition, the band also works out songs from Bedrosian's Som'n Fierce album, as well as upcoming music on the next Secret Army disc entitled MUZZLE MOOSICK. All of the Secret Army CD or Som'n Fierce CDs can be purchased at the official website of Secret Army and all BOZFONK MOOSICK www.dannybedrosian.com. (you can also get a lot of other great albums there produced by Danny including The Soular System, Teresa Jimenez, MoonChild, Asphalt Panda, and others)
Secret Army's live show is unforgettable. A patchwork of ethnic, racial, religious, and gender diversity is evident in the band's makeup, but its the MUSIC, and the sheer ENERGY that drives the groove home in this band, and it doesn't let up, until you find yourself screaming for more. There is literally something for every fan in this group. And the sonic power of the band is breathtaking, especially when taking into account the tonal superiority of the musicians themselves.
SECRET ARMY is as bassist Lige Curry put it "a new dynasty of music", and it serves it's reputation well; The Funk will never die, with Danny Bedrosian & Secret Army it has morphed into something for the new century, something both innovative and retrospective. Come and enjoy DANNY BEDROSIAN & SECRET ARMY.......
