Track of the Moment: MoPark by Salsa Shark
The trick to finding good music is to always be open. At a film shoot recently someone I met mentioned a band she knew. I looked them up a few days later, and was more then pleasantly surprised at what I heard. I would consider Steve to be more of an expert on âJam bandsâ then me, but Iâm more of an expert on âwhat Mark likesâ then he is, so I feel like I have the authority to blog on the subject.
Salsa Sharks consider themselves a psychedelic, experimental, progressive, funk, jam band, and right now the evidence is in their favor. The band has a lot of variety even within individual songs. For instance MoPark begins with a punchy funk riff, and changes into a more ska beat without loosing itâs initial beat, finally breaking down into a dirty bluesy break. This approach to song writing where you let the music kind of go where it wants it reminiscent of some of the bands they say influenced them like Phish, Rush and Disco Biscuit among others.
Now you may have noticed I didnât add a youtube videoâŚsorry I canât find one/it doesnât exist. The good news is you can stream and/or download the track for free on their Facebook or Reverbnation page. While youâre there you can check out some of the places theyâll be going because you can never really fully experience a jam band until you see them live.
