THE BAND - in no particular order


 


"Turbo-Turban" Dean- Vocals
."Dean mixes up the rhythms with attitude and sings moments of soul to break it up.....he looks the part with cap, nose ring through the cartilage, stars and stripes 'Converse' hi-tops, He moves well with the mic free arm emphasising phrases in his rapid poetry as virtually all of the worlds rappers do." Dean "Turbo-Turban" Mathers uses his writing talent and knack for rhythmically layering lyrics to give Stereopath a unique voice. He finds inspiration for his lyrics from everything that surrounds him- Sr Chuck Norris, Cindy Margolis, things made out of wicker; and of course Anthony Robbins.
 
 
 
Jimi Skinz- Drums
"James is a backbeat - syncopation king......(he) just has that feel that you can only be born with". James´ energy and passion are best illustrated when you hear him play drums. Stereopath's superb skinsman "Jimi Skinz" is a unique drummer not only because of his sheer skill and versatility, but for the way he listens to Mike and Jose´s playing to lock into their melodic language, translating it into percussive sounds- enabling the band to connect together.
 
 
"Corey L Hard" James- Trumpet
Corey's "well placed accents and flowing melodies really give a greater depth to the overall sound of the band and introduce a jazzy influence." This kid has talent- beautiful melodic horn lines full of passion, full of Corey. He gives Stereopath another layer of groove that is so smooth people on their feet know to wear their extra-grip high tops. Plus, he parties hard- very L Hard.
 
 
Jose "J-to-tha-hoe" Fernando- Guitar
"Jose's guitar parts are original and maginficently composed......(his) guitar playing is without fault, slightly John Frusciante in feel and classic 'old skool' in funk". Jose has established himself as an integral part of the band. With his "less is more" approach to music, he leaves room for Mike & Jimi Skinz to unleash their funk fury, yet chucks in deliciously funky licks to create a sound reminiscent of the Classic early 70's New Orleans funky soul vibe. Gawd sho' made this gaah faunkee.
 
 
Mike "Gas-bro"- Bass
Mike "is the mover of the band....(he) doesn't take himself too seriously although his basslines are deadly serious. His ability to move from fluid funky finger technique to ridiculously fast slap seems effortless. Bow down to the master of slap central!" Mike is usually responsible for the groove of Stereopath´s songs. His musical talent and skill give the band a great sense of proffesionalism. Drawing from his passion to music, Mike tranlates this energy to his bass-playing, with an impressive stage presence that lifts not only the band, but audiences as well.
 
 
Dave "Big-Guill" Sattout- Percussion
"Dave's performance on his congas and bongos meshes beautifully with James's drums, complimenting each other to create a fantastic combination of rhythmic interplay". Dave's hands are blindingly quick and his bongolic presence adds even another level of pulsating rhythm to the show. Go Dave! Flap that guill & hit those skins!!
