So... totally last minute I get a call from my friend Miche' about tag teaming, opening for this band Tortured Soul. It turns out, Tortured Soul is a trio from Brooklyn who play live deep house, with vocals. Drums, Keyboard, Bass, and nothing sequenced.
I had never heard of them, but apparently they've been around in various guises for years, and had some big 12" on Central Park Records. I'd never heard of them but there's a lot of things I've never heard of ... Holy Crap those guys were good! Great rock solid drumming, jazzy keyboards, and deep bass, with nice songs. And they started their set by mixing out of a record -- picking up the bassline and then jamming on it for a while. http://www.torturedsoulmusic.com They said they'll probably be playing at Movement, so make sure if they show up on the schedule to check them out!
