Polyrhythmics Funk O Ween and Tha Exchange
Polyrhythmics sound originated in Seattle’s underground deep funk scene combining impossibly tight grooves with bold brass and hypnotic percussion that showcased elements of R&B, progressive jazz, and Afrobeat which defined the instrumental group’s early era sound.
Now on their thirteenth year as a recording project and touring ensemble, the band’s sound continues to evolve following six full length albums, several EPs and live releases. The virtuosic musicianship and musical conversation built on a relentless touring schedule of the previous decade has led them to a brand of psych-funk that fills a room with an impending mood where anything could happen – sometimes evoking their brighter and cinematic Fela-influences, but also a more sinister and darker turn toward a more progressive sonic palette.
Polyrhythmics will be performing on Friday, Oct. 27 from 8-11 p.m. at the Crystal Bay Club Room located at 14 NV-28, Crystal Bay, NV 89402. Tickets start at $25. Go to Tixr.com for tickets.
