A five-piece outfit out of the Bay Area bringing their own style of psychedelic funk rock to move your mind, booty & soul. Funky pocket grooves, dramatic sweeping vocals and strange other-worldly noises all have their place in the Tribolectric sound.
Mike Toth (Bass) and Kris Jones (Drums) use their wide spectrum of influences (ranging from classic rock to funk, electronica, and metal) to create a syncopated groove-laden pocket while Jon Christensen (Guitar) and Luke Williamson (Keys) create sonic hoops and hurdles that beg to be jumped through. Vocalist Kimba Theurich radiates beautiful melodies, thoughtful lyrics and her own special tripped out vocal stylings. Jon lays down leads that growl and sing and creates atmospheric textures with a wide array of techniques. Meanwhile, Luke warps the weave and welds the cracks, ratcheting up the psychedelic quotient and searching for new destinations and inner dimensions.
Tribolectric just loves to play. From rocking house parties to cruising around music festivals to playing live, the band combines strong musicianship, conscious lyrics, and open minds to create an outstanding experience.
Thanks for your intense music! Vitality, yes! Positive, yes! See you at the Farmer's Market! Looking forward to seeing you perform sometime in the Berkeley area.
Greetings Mike and Kim, hope all is well and I am diggin' your band.
I must make my way to the bay at some point, too too many friends out there. BTW Bruce is heading here for the holidays and Buzzkill invaeds the Court on friday!
