InfluencesTHE BOYASH GYPSY SONG!!!!!!!!!! MEAN BLUE SPIRITS!!!!!!!!!!!! ..
Sounds LikeGypsy jazz swingin fun kissed by bright melodies, and animated solos, wrapped in a foot stompin arm in arm dancin, touching on the old time, lingering in the 1920's, touring the world styles of sometime flamenco, russian folk, or latin, body shaking, hands in the air, outer body existential momentary bliss from the daily drudge, remember to breath or you'll get light headed intoxicatingly damn good time..

The Underscore Orkestra is a Portland OR based band, playing a blend of Balkan, Klezmer, Gypsy Jazz and Swing, with a repertoire consisting of both original and traditional material from fast bulgars and melodious waltzes to odd meters and swinging rhythms. Our instrumentation includes violin, accordion, guitar, banjo, clarinet, horns, flute, harmonica, bass, vocals and percussion. Each of the members comes from various backgrounds and musical disiplines from as far away as Russia and as close as our own North West. The Underscore Orkestra has been performing for the past 3 + years, touring all around the western U.S., Mexico and Guatemala and has been seen from intimate coffee shop setting all the way to huge outdoor festivals.................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Hi Darlings! NEWS FLASH: There will be a special D'Merde Salon at AudioCinema's AC/VC show on August 30th. This is going to be the art/fashion/music/film party of the year. No kidding.

We are taking a short break from D'Merde parties after this event, so be SURE to attend. Also, unlike at the salon, you can purchase art. We are extremely excited about it...!

Love and kisses,

Hey Friends, it's me, Flowmotion & the Summer Meltdown Festival.

Just wanted to remind everyone, the festival is coming up in about three weeks or so and tickets are about to go up in price on July 23rd. Now is the time to get your tickets. 30+ bands on three stages, camping on 40 acres next to the river and epic views of glacier capped Whitehorse Mountain from the stage. It's about 75 minutes north of Seattle in Darrington WA. This is going to be one of the best years yet, so please tell all your friends and spread the word about the tickets going up next week. Visit the official site by clicking on the graphic below to get all the details.
