Recycled Funk, The Tripp Brothers, and The Textures at the Redstone Room -- December 9.
Friday, December 9, 8 p.m.
The Redstone Room, 129 Main Street, Davenport IA
A thrilling night of funk, soul, EDM, and live genre-fusing jams will be on the December 9 agenda at the Redstone Room at Common Chord, with the Davenport venue and Digital Notation hosting a night with the young musical talents of Recycled Funk, The Tripp Brothers, and Quad Cities ensemble The Textures.
Based in Kansas City, the electronic funk quartet Recycled Funk is composed of DJ, co-producer, and guitarist Nate Hargis; lead producer, sound engineer, and saxophone player Matt Pfeiffer; co-producer, lead guitarist, and keyboard player George Schram; and co-producer, vocalist, and drummer Matija Krstic. The group says, “Our mission is to create timeless music that brings out the best in everyone. We deliver a unique and precise live execution of all-original music.” Their SoundCloud biography, meanwhile, states that Recycled Funk "delivers a unique blend of past and contemporary sounds wrapped into a futuristic format of funkiness."
Two Midwestern horn players that live the funk, Jimmy and Sean Tripp compose The Tripp Brothers. Forging the sounds of saxophone and trombone fused with heavy bass music, the musicians and their outfit "are classified as glitch hop, playing loud groovy music, with elements of hip-hop, dubstep, house music, and jazz. You can feel the energy of their music expressed through heavy bass drops seen in dubstep. It’s likely you will classify their sounds along the lines of trippy electronic artists like Griz, Gramatic, Pretty Lights, and Chromeo."
Often described as soulful funk with a taste for jams, The Textures emerged as one of the hottest bands out of the Quad City music scene after winning Battle of the Bands: Road to Summercamp in 2020 and 2022. Front-woman and lead vocalist Kelsey Lillion is known as the “Lil’ Lion” of the band for her powerful vocal range, low-end grit, and edgy lyrics that speak about the human experience. According to the group's bio, "Their dual guitarists build rhythmic layers that fill space and speak volume about their heart and soul pedals. The bands quick-sliding basslines and frequency shifting percussive keys make for disco-funk grooves that transcend space and time. Topped off with fast-paced, and precision hitting drums, The Textures find the pocket every show, and fill it with layers of unique sound that is sure to make hips shake and heads move."
