Down Home: Band Showcase: Dislodic

Dr. Morty

My friends and I have had the opportunity to travel down to Fresno recently, despite the hundred degree temperatures, to watch two fantastic up and coming bands perform at The Starline. It is my great pleasure to showcase them here on my blog. Today's post:

DISLODIC, a progressive rock band formed by a great, and very dear friend of mine, affectionately known by all as Dr. Morty (since we have been long time friends, I will refer to my friend simply as Mort, or "D"). We have seen them play a few times and they have been great each time! The music showcases a solid pair of guitarists, Daryl and Chris, a bassist, Lisa, a vocalist with screams and growls that make the women swoon, and a drummer that is the lifeblood, and driving force, and literal heartbeat of the band, Dr. Morty.

This band is unique, as all band members can share their input equally; they don't technically have a band leader, but work together to draw upon the highest level of creativity from each member. They make a great effort to have cohesion as a band on the stage, as well as off the stage, by spending time once a month outside of band practices and shows. They just released their first Demo CD, Ascent and I have enjoyed listening to all four tracks ever since! Be sure to catch their next show August 21st at The Starline, 833 E. Fern, Fresno, CA. I'll be there, with lots of friends!
