Los Angeles Jam Band, Particle, have rock and roll in their very molecules. With the driving grooves of the Disco Biscuits, and the high shredability of Umphrey's McGee; they've been a crowd favorite for the last thirteen years. Along with Bisco and STS9, Particle are one of the foundational bands in Livetronica, mixing sequenced electronica into a live - jazz tinged - highly instrumental band. They're prog rock influences frequently peak out through the sequencing creating a vibe somewhere between Pink Floyd and Drum and Bass. Since 200, core members Eric Gould, Darren Pujalet, and Steve Molitz have gelled into musical jet fuel, entertaining audiences across the U.S. and Europe, and joining forces with artists like Mickey Hart, Tea Leaf Green, Joe Satriani, and Robbie Krieger of The Doors.
Freekbass has released four full-length CDs, including the current "Junkyard Waltz" which includes guest appearances by Phish bassist Mike Gordon, guitarist Buckethead, keyboard wizard from P-Funk/Talking Heads Bernie Worrell, and is produced by funk legend Bootsy Collins. Also, national music DVD instruction company, The Rock House Method, recently released two Freekbass instructional DVDs "Learn Funk Bass with Freekbass (Level 1 & Level 2) " .
