Bio: These seething heathens hail from L.A. with a punk, funk and rock sound uniquely their own. With a healthy mix of Chili Peppers, Incubus, Queens of the Stone Age and other 90's rock, Stonefeather continues their quest of true power pop rock thru the ages. This trio of mega-dudes build upon a sacred bromance to conquer vast unseen sonic territories. With wit and wisdom uncommon to lads of their age, their catchy lyrics and dap-solid pop forms cure your deteriorating ear drums with dome-ensnaring musical power-bombs. All seriousness aside, some of their tunes are very poignant with deep underlying meaning. "Good Enuff" is a fantastic song with lyrics pertaining to our unsustainable american lifestyle. Stonefeather's music is political and topical as it is badass! "Kush Doctor"is a song about weed and that means that it is great. Not only is it hilarious, funky and catchy it also makes a very valid point. I can't stress how fucking super dope these guys are!

Their music is available on iTunes and CD Baby. Stonefeather is currently campaigning on pledgemusic.com for donations in support of recording a full-length album www.pledgemusic.com/projects/stonefeather. Definitely visit the site and watch the video, if you have some extra scrilla then donate that shit!! Having formed in 2008 A.D. they have been writing, recording and performing with relentless fury ever since. Breaking thru in the L.A. scene is a tuff job for any band, but these guys are hard at it and there is no doubt if they keep pushing they will make a significant bang out there! They already have a fantastical fanbase of roller skate dance crews, entrail devouring zombies and flesh-hounds. In addition to enslaving armies of zombies for world domination they have also been spending many hours out of the week tutoring invalids and constructing jade encrusted monoliths to ancient snake gods. Stonefeather is the shiz, so fire your fucking lasers already!

www.facebook.com/pages/The-Bama-Gamblers/197979953548944



Bio: It is only fitting that the Gamblers hold the no. 69 spot. These motherffin stunnas have not only a totally badass band name but they also have the best band logo I have ever seen! See if you can find their logo of an owl smokin one down on one of their various web spaces. They have some super sweet original material you have got to check out on their reverbnation page. Reigning like kings on the Auburn Alabama scene they have rocked the college circuit far and wide! With their hard hitting blues- rock they have no equals for they truly roll the dice testing their might over the top style... that was a Rolling Stones/ Mortal Kombat/ Sylvester Stallone reference if you didn't catch that.

The Bama Gamblers hit the stage with nothing to lose, relentlessly destroying faces with Matt's sidewinding slide guitar pickin and Forrest's driving blues beats. Bo and Jered take turns rocking the mic slanging their blues power to and fro inciting wild fits of dancing and merry-making. I have heard tale of a female singer that performs with them on occasion and that she has unmatched style and skill on the stage. However I have not had the chance to catch her roll with the Gamblers. These guys have conquered the southland with a reputation of dirty blues and thunderous rock n roll. Their cover selection ranges from classic rock, to blues to old school R&B sometimes with a tongue-in cheek twist. You gotta see them to know what I mean. They are currently working on a full length album that hopefully will be due out next year. If the Gamblers come to your town you must attend as they will help you throw down like only true Alabamians can do! They go down Gamblin and they do it with the swagger of tasteful southern gentlemen riding high and true into the sunset with hearts full of blues, bellies full of beer and bodies full of thrizz! White-hot thrizz lightning! The Bama Gamblers are a solid bet for an unforgettable night on the town!

Bio: Whilst scroming through some lost domensions with fellow domelord Zombi Fo, I fell asleep under the Bango Tree and was awakened by this band of demon hellriders. A/S/L? screams in your face!!! Watch out for face obliterating mind exploding hell screams and disqusting guitar and drum mega rock slop of doom! A/S/L??????????????? What?? They have apparently been ballin for aeons without dicks and that makes them pissed!! With one little arm and one big arm they challenge all other non-vertebrates with riot inducing rock fervor.

UHUL!!!
Yo Stones here, bringing you the first ever guest freakjam!!... and what a pleasure it is to present Uhul (???- you know, its pronounced YAHOO! in Portuguese)! I met one of these Brazilian punk rockers in a bar in Austria a couple years ago where we bonded over our collective hatred for that country. After swapping war stories we put their album on the bar stereo and rocked out to the max, while simultaneously terrifying the locals (Fuck them, anyway!). And so it was that I was first introduced to Uhul, the Brazillian punk rock four piece that loves to Heineken!  Apparently there is a video floating around of our crazy antics that night.  What I can piece together involves lots of alcohol, offended locals, and police. What else can I say, that pretty much sums it up right there!

Uhul embodies the spirit of Punk Rock, Brazilian Style! Check out their webspaces and listen to their furious rock!!

57 - Funky Butter

Genre: Rock, Funk, Jazz, Freakjams
Location: New York, NY
Websites: www.funkybutter.com/home.html
www.myspace.com/funkybutter
www.facebook.com/pages/Funky-Butter/35620939589?sk=app_5179614317



Bio: This band is so good its retarded. With two badass chick singers, buttery Palladino-esque bass thumpin, creamy funk drums, sexy keyboards and guit-fiddles Funky Butter has a multi-colored pallet to paint funkalacious soundscapes. Formed by the coming together of Kate, Dallin, Dan and Justin who all attended NYU for music and Josh Steingard on drums, who graduated Berklee School of Music in Boston. Not only do they have unchallenged technical skill on their instruments, but their vocals intertwine, I think you know what I mean. No really, their vocals layer upon each other in lush harmony that is very similar to the sounds of thousands of rare amazonian birds that have evolved over millenia to have the most perfect singing voices.

Funky Butter used to crush shows around NYC, Boston and Philadelphia with a tasty organic buttery spread you can't seriously believe its not butter! Unfortunately the Butter is no longer together as all the members are all currently pursuing other musical adventures. Luckily before the members went on to their next evolutionary stage as artists they recorded a fantastic final album. Their recording pushes the boundaries of real rock n roll! With sounds like the Beatles, Janis, Joshua Redman, Diana Krall, Wayne Krantz, Steely Dan, Horace Silver, Ella Fitzgerald... I could spend days listing their respective influences, however it is evident these folks are musicologists at heart. Their music transcends the Rock genre and is something all its own. One thing is for damn sure it is pure unadulterated Freakjams, Aisle 9 - Dairy section: Funky Butter! I don't have to justify myself here just buy their album now!

39 - Adelle Cotton

Genre: Folk/ Bluegrass/ Blues
Location: Greenville, SC
Websites:  www.adellecotton.com



Bio: This organic duo is rife with sweet succulent harmonies accompanied by a collection of various stringed instruments, plucked and bowed with emotion ranging from mysterious contemplation to bitter rage. These beautiful women create fields of sound with two voices, an acoustic guitar and cello. Originally called O-Mello-Cello Tree, they have matured as a group sonically and lyrically and are now aptly named Adelle Cotton. The name summons forth the essence of the south, as does their music. Influenced by early southern vocal groups and blues artists, they transcend other styles and have honed one of their own. One that is unique and full of hearty goodness. The definition of Adelle Cotton is "modern day blues women traveling the world with imaginative stories of the south."

Their new album live at Eddie's Attic in Atlanta is as clean and concise as a studio-cut recording. Proving that they are just as powerful, actually more-so in a live setting. With stories of live, love, and trees, Adelle Cotton sings the truth. Darby Wilcox's voice is fucking beautiful. She can go from a gentle songbird to a whiskey soaked country wail in a millisecond. Her incredible range is complimented by intense playing of Sarah Schaffer's cello. The cello brings an almost cinematic quality to the music. An orchestra performing a long-lost symphony couldn't rival the sound that comes from Adelle Cotton. I'm sure someone famous like Miles Davis, Satchmo or Charlie Parker once said, "There are two types of music, bad music and freakjams" Adelle Cotton is definitely the latter. They have a homepage for damn sure and they are on facebook so fucking be their friends already! Be warned though, their music causes large braingasms! But that's a good thing!

Genre: Funk/ Fusion/ Jazz
Location: Athens, GA

www.reverbnation.com/jazzchronic



Bio: This band of funky bluesy soul brothers originates from the hills around Athens, GA. They have the fresh crispy kind of funk emanating from their flying fluctuating fingertips. These guys are true soul pimps of the groove. They are understood as musical saints/hermits around their hometown, because they only come out to get funky! Illin saxophone crushes the funk like a seething mad viking demon. Maximum bass relentlessly assaults your motion-flux capacitor and will charge up your funk batteries to unleash bombastic spurts of the "crazy legs". Lets not forget the solid drums and snakelike guitar weaving and bobbing with various crispy wahs and clean tones for yo bones. The organ sits atop the clouds in JazzChronic's atsmosphere as a buddha-like deity adding moist precipitation to the grooves, as well as ocassionally hurling blasts of hail and acid rain as well. JazzChronic are extreme badasses of the funk! Check out JazzChronic's Youtube videos for live performances of pure sexual masterpieces. Their heady jams are like 100% raw dome candy!

I'll have to say JazzChronic is one of the seven secret ronins of Freakjams. They are like the Shogun Assassins of Funk. They travel from town to town bursting with a variety of funk flavors! They hopefully will grace a stage near you soon so they can exorcize the Oni and clean out your ki with their chronic vibes. You can locate their mojo at their homepage, www.jazzchronic.com or on Facebook, Myspace, Reverbnation or Youtube! JazzChronic puts on a spectacular show of super-crunknicity and they have a new album out that is obviously an insta-classic. So go get you a copy of their new album, Groovathon and take a seriously long toke of JazzChronic!!

Location: Auburn, AL
Website: www.myspace.com/vegabonds
www.reverbnation.com/thevegabonds
www.jambase.com/Artists/78107/The-Vegabonds



Bio: These lawless Brigands take the stage with the sole intent of rocking the venue to its foundations. Some may call them Rogues, Pirates or Vagabonds but they roll together solid and true as the Vegabonds! This band is becoming one of the most popular bands rockin' the scene here in the southeast. Hitting the road later this April they'll be opening for legendary southern rocker Greg Allman from a little known band you probably don't know about called the Allman Brothers. Back to these Vegabonds that slam Jaegerbombs and Vegas Bombs before dropping Megaton Bombs on the masses. I got a chance to jam with this power rock explosion last night at the Sky Bar and the crowd was chomping at the bit. The lovely ladies in the audience knew all the songs word for word and their various boyfriends had to play second fiddle to the tempestuous vocal stylings of their lead singer Daniel "Hacksaw" Allen.

In addition to maintaining a grueling touring schedule, the band has just released their debut album, Dear Revolution to widespread critical acclaim. The Vegabond's sound is a combination of classic rock and southern rock with the new school rock and jam band rock. If you like rock get ready to rock the funk out! When enjoying their album from start to finish you may be reminded of bands such as: The Allman Brothers, The Drive-By Truckers, Pink Floyd, Phish, Widespread Panic, The Kings of Leon, Joe Walsh, U2, Counting Crows, The Black Crowes, The Crow and Pantera. Okay maybe not the last two because one's a movie and one's Pantera, but you catch my drift? The Vegabond pound the ear-pussies on the reg with immaculate slide guitar work, groovin keys, nasty solos, bombastic drums and tight bass work. They play mostly down here in God's country i.e. the Southeastern section of the continental U.S. however they are planning to make an extensive tour of Thailand this summer. They might not look it all six members are half Thai. Whether you see them down the street or overseas, check out the Vegabonds for a super crunk party jam time experience sure to last for eons.

30 - Moon Taxi

Genre: Rock/ Jam/ Techno/ Electronic/ Freakjams
Location: Nashville, TN
Websites: www.myspace.com/moontaxi
www.facebook.com/ridethemoontaxi



Bio: Moon Taxi, as their name suggests is out of this world! The taxi will take your mind on a blast off journey through time and space! A modern day spatial Lewis and Clark (Sacajawea and Pocahontas too) exploring uninhabited sound worlds and planting their flag for future generations to see. Their compositions are an amazing amalgam of hard rock and electronica fused with techno, reggae and just the right amount of jam. Moon Taxi is reminiscent of bands like Muse, Particle, The Allman Brothers, Radiohead, The Clash and David Bowie. Their live show is mind-blowingly spectacular. I got a chance to catch them at AGR fraternity in Auburn and they melted faces and souls with their set-to-kill laser wave beams. After impeccably ripping a cover of the Allman Brothers' "Whipping Post" with flawless form and skill they launched into meteoric originals laced with scorching viscosity.

They are currently touring the world, having opened for Matisyahu, Government Mule, DJ Logic, The New Mastersounds and many others. Their virtuous twin guitars riff incalculably over tight drum spice supported with doric columns of keyboard, synth and dirty funk-rock bass-quakes. Did I mention their vocals? Their voices ring true as a heavenly host of virginal angelic seraphs precipitating lush harmonies that attract flocks of snow-white doves flying above a multitude of sea-blue dolphins under a double rainbow. Wow! A double rainbow! Words cannot describe Moon Taxi's unquenchable molten mass of soul power, however I try in vain. The only way you can begin to know their vast repertoire of unique Freakjams is to close your eyes and let them take you for a ride to the Moon and even further to the rings of Saturn. After making a left turn at Jupiter and sailing thru the milky waves of our galaxy you might return home with a new perspective of which direction music is headed. It is going to the freaking moon and Moon Taxi will take you there!!

29 - Alpha State

Genre: ROCK

www.myspace.com/alphastateauburnal



Bio: Alpha State is the Tits! A brand-spankin new band out of Aubizzle, they crank out Freak-rock maxed out to eleven! Their balls are massive, and you can check out their cream sac on the world wide webernet. They get the titties poppin and the D's swollen with old school and new school balls to the wall Rock n' Roll! Shane's crusty crush guitar blares out of his Marshall stack with Alec's clean southern rock voice soaring above his jammin rhythm guit-fiddle. Scott Shepherd herds the flocks with slammin pop-rock infused punk drum beats while Adam thunders out tumultuous bass lines holdin down the overall funk for your dome. They recorded their demo less than a year ago up in Nashville with engineer and renown producer Scotty 'too hottie' Rorrins (of Scotty and the Fags fame). Consisting mainly of covers you can get an idea of how their full length O.G. album will sound if you check out their single, "Wedding Cake".

Although three of them are still in college undertaking various majors and what not, if these guys stick together then they are most definitely destined for fame and glory. Just check out their single and you will wet your pants in excitement I guarantee it. With influences such as: Black Sabbath, Kings of Leon, Grand Funk Railroad, Hendrix, The Beatles, Mumford and Sons, Weezer, Wolfmother, The Strokes and Creedence you will want to catch one of their sold-out beer soaked classic rock infused live performances fo sho! Just see what people are sayin about them: "Masterful" - Axl Rose; "There sex is on Fire" - Caleb Followhill (of the Kings of Leon); "Alpha State is my favorite band, and Freakjams is my favorite blog!" - Lady Gaga (of Lady Gaga). You obviously don't have to take it from me, this band will obliterate your mind into oblivion. Make sure to check back on these guys for they already have many more original Freakjams in the works. Alpha State is a state of mind and Freakjams is a way of life!

28 - Tony Brook

Genre: Country/ Blues/ Rock
Location: Auburn, AL
Website: www.tonybrook.net
www.myspace.com/tonybrook/music




Bio: Local Blues God Tony Brook has just released his newest album, "Guerilla." It is fucking awesome! I just caught Tony Brook this past Saturday at Bourbon St. in Auburn rockin' the crowd as a power trio. The pub-crawlers were pumped as he launched into a mix of hard-hitting originals and suped-up old school covers. Tony has been rockin the scene down here in the south for as long as I can remember, and has brought his own brand of Alabama Country Blues Rock to foreign lands as well. If you see his name on the marquee, be ready to grab a cold one and get rowdy. Try not to get into a barroom brawl as his music will certainly get your blood boilin.

He's got five amazing albums to his name and his likeness is emblazoned on the pages of Alabama rock history. Tony Brook's witty lyricism is only matched by his soulful guitar twang. His recordings range from low-country heart-wrenchers, beer-guzzling barroom anthems to hell bent lightning blues. His songs are solid messages of truth and political wisdom. You can hear a bit of Jerry Jeff, John Prine, David Allen Coe, Hank, Willie, Waylon, and even Tom Waits in his music. His sweet-tea southern drawl tells it like it is, and his music aint for the faint of heart. Check out "Mule's in a Ditch" off his new album for some real country. Check out Tony Brook and you'll discover a new brand of whiskey-drenched southern rock!

Bio: Jam masters, The Incredible Sandwich fill your ears with pure joy and your pants with fresh jam! You won't be able to stop dancing when the Sandwich comes groovin thru your town. Hailing from Athens, GA they are renown in the south and have won multiple awards for best jam band in Athens. We all know Athens for spawning great bands like R.E.M. the B-52's and Widespread Panic, and The Sandwich is part of the next gen. of Athens talent currently rocking the scene. They have a sick album and merch available on their web space. They formed in 2007 and have a wide array of recordings to sponge up with your empty brain. A dry brain-sponge that has been deprived of your daily dose of liquid Freakjams.

Having graced the lineup of prestigious festivals such as Wakarusa, the Incredible Sandwich is on their way up slinging various flavored jams, preserves and jellies to the people. With influences ranging from Phish, Bob Dylan, Widespread Panic, Chick Corea and Herbie Hancock, there is a distinct Jazz and Classical flavor as well. Their stylings can groove out gospel stlye, hillbilly style, jazz style or almost any style you might prefer. All their distinct voices on their respective instruments create a vibrant palette of musical colour to draw from. Matt will tear out your eyes with his guitar wailing while Rackley lays down a fresh beat to jam to. Kevin phunks up the bass with Damien's killer organ rippin it up with his Mind-beams! This Sandwich is Incredible and Good For Your Health!

25 - Bodega Roja

Genre: Prog/ Jam/  Fusion/ Freakjams
Location: Atlanta, GA
Website: www.myspace.com/bodegaroja
www.bodegaroja.com



Bio: Bodega Roja is a mind melting force of nature that conjures new acid-prog-jazz-jams and floods your uber-space with solid mesmerizing fusion power. Hailing from Atlanta, GA their magic envelops your groove thing in a warm blanket of dueling fuzz guitar and synth wailiness. Influences include: Muse; Tool; F-Zero X; Tribal Tech; Liquid Tension Experiment; Steve Vai; John Scofield; Medeski, Martin, and Wood; Particle; Kooken & Hoomen. I'm not sure if these really are their influences but they sound like a spicy gumbo of all of those fresh ingredients. The guitars shred incredible dueling solos with funk-jazz rhythms and monster piano styles. The drums and bass keep the freshness increasing steadily along a path of wisdom of the ages.

Originally an all instrumental group, Bodega Roja has recently begun its venture into the vocal arts as well. Adding a lot to the groups already gargantuan sound, they have yet to record their new stlye. Their badass instrumental tracks are already available on their myspace, and check out their homepage to join their mailing list. Already a mainstay on the Atlanta jam circuit, with a sound like theirs they will soon be rocking festivals near you. Keep your ears and eyes wide open for their Freakjams, for Bodega Roja will surely rock your dome!!

13 - The Bandar-Log

Genre: Rock/ Garage/ Indie/ Funk
Location: Auburn, AL
Website:  www.myspace.com/thebandarlog



Bio: A local favorite from Auburn, AL, this Indie band is just hitting their stride. Rocking shows around the southeast spreading their groove butter wherever they go, the Bandar-Log has a variety of styles that combine to tear at your heartstrings. Fresh lyrics and silver-toned guitar rock upon funky bass-twang and gangster pop drum beats. Their live show is an intense orgy of funky dance jams and original rock thrashing. Although they have a very original sound they can be compared to the Clash, the Police and other early punk-rock. Their classic song forms incorporate seamless transitions to lush unexplored gardens of ska, pop and Indie. Having been together for a little over two years, they already perform a vast array of their own tunes.

Their live show is like no other. With Dave's tempestuous vocals, Russ' energetic crunk rock smash rhythms, John's intricate pulsating funk slap bass and Matt (Montgomery) Wise's screeching demon wailing guitar wizardry. Their picture tells all, with heavenly mana raining down onto their beautiful cherub faces, adding midichlorians to their Jedi bloodstreams. Day by day they train in the hyperbolic chambers gradually increasing their Sayan levels. For a super-crunk fun time with a visceral super-nova troupe of omega-bards check out the Bandar-Log! They have a new album out "AK-747" so go buy it a few times and support some real music. Though it might not be on pop radio it is definitely Freakjams!

10 - Strangelove Ocean

Genre: Funk/ Metal/ Fusion/ Freakjams
Location: Auburn, AL
Website: www.myspace.com/strangeloveocean



Bio: Odin's sword swings heavy upon those that dare defy Strangelove Ocean! This instrumental Funk-Metal-Fusion band swings Dolemite sized booty thunder. But at the same time, they exhort brutal barbarian rage that can also invoke heady reggae jams at will. The metallic primordial groove sauce that is Strangelove Ocean will kick you in your pants! Harmonized twin guitars soar over volcanic bass activity and earth-pounding beats. A very original mix of thrash funk, creeper crunk, and megadestruction that will magiker you. Fozzy Crosbourne "The King of Chorus" if I'm not mistaken, immortalizes a local hero from the loveliest village on the plains. This hero can still be found jammin on a chariot of chorus at key shows in the area. Paying tribute to the old gods, heroes and ways of the elders is part of Strangelove's creed. And it is because of this creed that Strangelove is an essential part of Freakjams.

Strangelove Ocean had many years together on the high seas rocking defiantly to spite their enemies. After filling their bellies with wine and their coffers with silver, they have at last returned to their wives and families. Having enough of their days of pillaging, they are now living out their lives in the abundance of wealth. Although not still touring, they have a yet-to-be released album in the works! Since the retirement of Strangelove Ocean, they have all changed their identities and sometimes choose to pump raw crunk juice into the atmosphere with other groups. However, sometimes on a full moon and when the planets are aligned, you may chance to hear a name echoing through the hills, halls and ale houses...... Strangelove!

9 - Sugar Mama

Genre: Reggae/ Funk/ Rock
Location: NYC
Website: www.myspace.com/sugarmamarock 



Bio: Sugar Mama provides the groove. With influences ranging from Sublime, to the Red Hot Chili Peppers to Jimi Hendrix, this band can't go wrong. Their catchy tunes include trippy escapades to psychedelia that always return back to the source. Their infallible experiments with form are exquisitely delicious. For a trio, these guys create a sound much greater than the sum of its parts. The intricate guitar work of Kyle Lalone locks in with Dan Africano's counterpuntal bass grooves, and their voices dance together like nymphs in an evergreen forest on a dewey Autumn morn. Don't forget Joshua Steingard's killer funk- train drum stylings (dumps like a truck!). The dictionary says that stylings isn't a word. Fuck the dictionary! Sugar mama equals stylings, many stylings, tasty stylings and wild stylings!

With a new album in the works, these guys are hard at it killing shows across the Northeast! Look out for these bros on college radio in the near future! After a sensual meeting at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA this group formed in 2008 and has been jammin to the max ever since. If you're in the city lookin for a good time make sure you hit up Sugar Mama for her salted morsels of carmelized crunknicity. If you're a fan of Rage Against the Machine, Queens of the Stoneage, RX Bandits, Sublime, or The Peppers give them a listen! Their myspace contains a library of un-discovered ancient alien architecture. They are the Wise-men from the Northeast on a journey to quench your thirsty ear-pussies!

7 - WHOARFROST

Genre: Psychedelic Rock/ Fusion Grunge Art Metal/ Freakjams
Location: Baltimore, MD
Website: www.myspace.com/whoarfrost



Bio: "This trio of tantric troubadours will completely lobotomize you" - The Dalai Lama. What do you get when you mix jungle/ drum n' bass with the guitar stylings of John Mclaughlin, (The Awesome Fusion Guitar player, not the other one that sucks...) the intensity of Pantera, the form of Zappa and the creativity of Mozart? The answer is obviously Whoarfrost. This group began while attending Berklee College of Music in Boston in 2006. They have been conquering the wasteland one butterfly at a time ever since. "This is some heavy shit" - Chong from Cheech and Chong. "These guys will honestly blow your fucking minds." - God.

I remember being at one of their bombastic performances in Boston circa 2006-2007. Rocking in a packed hot and sweaty basement, Whoarfrost had several old tvs behind them displaying various kinds of hardcore porn. The audience's faces melted to the pure mercury infused samurai sword slicing of Jon Lipscomb's guitar. The heart pounding energy of the drums and the bass created lush spheres of prog-metal-rock-funk that brought apocalyptic doom to the soul. In other words, it was one of the dopest crunkfests I have ever personally attended. Their music is gargantuan especially when you take into account that there are only three members. After living in Amherst for a couple years the group has relocated to Baltimore, MD where they continue to slay maggot infested demons on sound wave battlefields with their amorphous orgy of devastation. Their new album is soon to be released in Feb. 2011 so get with the program and buy it now even though you can't yet! Smell the Devil's Breath!!
