Feb 27-March 1- MJ Project, Soltice Partay No. 2 and Battle of the Bands!!

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009



This weekend is gonna be crazy, and we’re gearing up for two weekends of the 7th Annual Backseat Film Festival!


Feb 27th – MJ Project, Indobox, Segway- Glass Grenade/Village Green

MJ Project
“MJ Project performs an instrumental, intelligent and funky mix of rock, progressive jazz, danceable grooves and spacy but melodic sounds. The Philadelphia-based band’s mix of talent, telepathic tightness and fearless appreciation of improv adds up to a rock-solid groove and impeccable sound that works on many levels.”

The Indobox

From Boston–”Here are four kids that grew up in the 90’s listening to flannel wearing, longhaired rock and roll. Give them a drum machine, a synthesizer, 30 some effect pedals and see what happens live in the flesh. When the groove starts in front of hundreds of sweaty drunk half naked youths, stop analyzing the music and awkwardly contort you body in the pastime called dancing.”

Segway
Definition of Segue: to make a transition from one thing to another smoothly and without interruption “Definition of Segway: In your face Live, Organic Disco Breakbeat House. Smoothly transitioning from fast paced, driving rhythms and heavy synth and guitar leads to slow, ambient grooves combining out of this world effects with atmospheric riffs and bass lines. Segway has begun to search for new frontiers in live, organic dance music.”
