Details:
Harmonious Junk is a Denver, Colorado based funk rock group specializing in boogie based jams and psychedelic improv. The group features veteran and still current lead guitarist with the James Brown Band, Damon Wood. Featured in Relix Magazine as a band on the rise, their cd received these positive comments from Relix writer, Mick Skidmore: "Harmonious Junk has released the superbly crafted,''Space Cadet'', which sees the band exploring a plethora of instrumental textures with some unusual twists. There''s an underlying funk edge but in a jagged sort of psychedelic fashion. The band flits from melodic jazz rock to the beautifully haunting title cut, which features pirouetting leads counter-pointed by delicate piano work that really highlights the sophistication of this ensemble."
"Harmonious Junk does''nt fake it. Their roots and their joy clearly connect to playing a solid blend of funk, jazz, and R&B. The group is enjoying local fame and critical success for their first disc, ''Space Cadet''. There certainly is some Stevie Ray Vaughn in Wood''s guitar work, but there are also healthy doses of Allman-esque riffs and Hendrix improv, and even sprinklings of Walter Becker. Wood clearly has the chops to bring it, but Harmonious provides him and the rest of the band an outlet to show off a wide variety of skills. Harmonious has gained a well earned reputation as the party band du jour." Colorado Springs Independent Aaron Retka
"Harmonious Junk pulls together savory parts of funk, jazz, blues, psychedelic, soul and jam. Expect classic covers, fresh originals and the sweet sounds of real talent." Westword Magazine Best of Denver 2005
Damon Wood also contributed guitar tracks to the multi platinum Black Eyed Peas album, "Monkey Business". Released 2005
