New
York Band Plays Live In Southport
NEW York band
'Spokinn Movement' visited Liverpool and Southport on
a UK tour on the night of Saturday, 1 November 2008.
Well in Southport the very early ours of Sunday morning to be
pedantic... Running late after performing in Liverpool, the band
rushed into Southport and turned up 15 minuets behind time.
So it gave us a bit more time to catch up with them. We
eventually court up with this fantastic for piece band at 2:15am on
Sunday morning, as they rushed into Drakes, Southport... By 2:30am
the band had sound checked and started to play to a small, but very
lively audience. By 3:00am the band's lively hip-hop and rap brought
in more and more people... Even though the venue might be small and
the time of night/morning did not put off the audience that kept
growing, but even more surprising was this did not put them off
either... They quickly made friends around the room, as they played
their highly energetic performance involving audience participation
with their lively, witty and easy to follow lyrics. This
performance just seemed to pass very quickly as you found yourself
quickly drawn in and suddenly it was 4:00am..! It is a shame that
they where on so late, but you could not tell that these lads had
just been performing in Liverpool and where suffering from jetlag.
I expect to be seeing these lades, again very soon, at events like
the Southport Weekender. Their extensive roots in improvised jazz,
classical jazz, rhythm and blues have made them produce a clear
crisp and original sound that will go down well in the UK's main
stream markets, as well as the underground markets. We will be
reviewing the brand's album called:- "60 Min. Spin Cycle"
next week... but from what we could see of these lads, their CD
will find it very hard to get across their live musical talent and
performance, that they had demonstrate in this live show. Their
website says:- "You'll never see the same Spokinn Movement
performance twice." and I can see that would be the case.
Unlike most bands of late, these lads think on their feet! They make
up coherent and flowing melodies and they lyrics to go along with
it, as they go along... Personally I was highly impressed by both
the venue and the band. This was a truly exceptionally good
night! Drakes did extremely well to get these lads and we hope they
will re-visit again... I cannot wait now to see what other gems this
new venue will put on...
