Details:
RootsCollider has emerged onto the scene as the definitive analogue "21st Century Quartet of Dry & Heavy Livetronica" that continues to push the sonic envelope toward enlightenment. The act has quickly become regional favorites for so many and has gained wide recognition by sweeping upstate NY off of it''s feet as one of the fastest growing live original acts from Rochester, NY.
RootsCollider has shared the stage with these national acts:
Telepath
RubbleBucket
John Brown''s Body
Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad
LouLou Ghelichkhani of Thievery Corporation
Since September of 2010 these crucial 4 points of the illest of light have come together to create RootsCollider: the only crushing live organic drum and bass power quartet from Rochester, NY.
RootsCollider is dedicated to bringing the listener only the freshest cuts of live original punishing Drum & Bass, crushing Dubstep, destructive Electro-Rock, and fresh Future-Funk, with the destructive elements of crucial Dub Reggae. The band''s sole purpose is to collide these roots genres into a single unstoppable aesthetic force.
RootsCollider is known as one of the last definitive analogue defenses against the digital 21st Century, and has been described as a powerful visceral artistic experience for the mind, body, and soul.
Press:
Drum and Bass colored with funky keys, rhythm that rolls, rocks and dares you to keep up with it. Sweeping solos fueled with distorted syncopation exulting the audience then space inflected jamming to marionette their heads. Music you feel through your frame without a distracting vocal line, allowing you to sense the next direction, but ultimately you’ll be wrong. Only RootsCollider instinctively knows where they’re going next.
Bill Smith’s keyboard colors are easily painted across timekeeper Jimmy Grillo’s driving beats all reinforced and bottom driven by WiL McKenna’s bass lines. It’s as if each is soloing in perfect arrangement, one moves forward, two move back, sliding from tempo to tempo in unison. Ubiquitous and oblique, driven by forces us mere humans may not understand besides the automatic kinship with the force of the groove.
It’s easy to picture these guys whipping a late-night festival crowd into a frenzy. Add a well thought out video/ light show and this is a massive presentation live, directing the audience to follow because resistance is futile. RootsCollider’s uncanny knack of changing texture, tone and time precisely when you don’t expect it leaves their audiences in anticipation and satisfaction. Attempt to keep up with them through their myspace page at https://www.tradebit.com and see them live, it’s not for the faint of heart or soul.
