The New Triumph (Funk, Afro-Latin and Jazz). Johnny and the Moles (multi-genre, NOLA infused Americana) and Royal Blunder (Power Pop, post punk, psychedelic driving hook saturated music)
“The deep grooves (of The New Triumph) hint at everything from Fela Kuti to the Crusaders, Donald Byrd, and even early Earth, Wind & Fire...all of which invoke a warm throwback vibe but with a breakbeat-ready, forward look. The New Triumph can ably represent Seattle in a venerable pantheon of laid-back, eclectic West coast funk.” –Andrew Luthringer, Earshot Jazz Magazine
“Johnny & the Moles embody everything you look for in an American band. The rhythmic sensibilities of New Orleans 2nd Line (including tuba), the lush vocal harmonies of Southern California rock and the earthy lyrics usually reserved for salty voiced folkies. But they never take themselves too seriously. In fact, it’s their self-effacing humor that truly amplifies their talent.” -Roy Meriwether Jr., New Sounds
