notes

Propelled by VH1's 2001 hit show "Bands on the Run," Josh Dodes has developed a loyal national following for his unique style of high-energy, piano-based pop-rock. His band's critically-acclaimed debut "Get Up" ("****... a surprisingly accomplished debut album" -- All Music Guide) was voted one of the top 5 CDs of the year by CD Baby's worldwide customer base. Josh has built upon this success through regular touring -- he has played venues such as Irving Plaza and Bowery Ballroom (NYC), Camden Yards (Baltimore), The Tabernacle and The Cotton Club (Atlanta), The Kennedy Center (Washington, DC), and House of Blues (Boston) -- and airplay on independent and commercial radio stations across the U.S. In the past year alone, he has opened for Avril Lavigne, Pat Benatar, Duncan Sheik, The B-52's, Alana Davis, BBMak, and funk legend Maceo Parker.

Based in New York City, Josh routinely plays to packed crowds ("one full house after another," raves the New York Times on the Web) in New York and throughout the entire Northeast. Fueled by fan favorites such as "Be My Friend, But Be Naked," which fans have pushed to #1 on MP3.com's AAA chart, Josh's high-octane live show has been a major element of his evolution from NYC local favorite to an emerging national act.

  • Rockin' funky soul that keeps in line with Get Up
    author: Ben Schor

    Josh is one funky fella. This CD is a great companion piece to Get Up, and has some nice standouts such as Satisfied, Parker Street and the title cut. I hope Josh keeps on keepin' on, and that his travels bring him out west to Los Angeles for a show or two.

  • A form of musical enlightenment
    author: Erin

    It brought me to a new level on my path of musical exploration. This CD has a blissful sound and mood to it. It was an amazing journey.

  • Excellent CD
    author: Julie

    Just got the CD and have listened to it over and over. Very hip, love the rhythms, makes me bop in the car!

  • Freak N Josh Dodes
    author: Diane

    Josh Dodes hits a home run! The Freak CD is full of fresh jazzy tunes that move the spirit.

  • author: Aaron Scott

    Josh Dodes really shows that he put alot of time and emotion into this record. The songs show an increasing maturity in Josh's songwriting. He brillantly combines the funky jazz sounds of Steely Dan and blends them with a Ben Folds styled beat.

  • outstanding groovy absolutely bloody amazing cool funky stuff !
    author: Giorgio Bonderer

    when i first steped in the bitter end i just loved your music, couldn't refrain from jumpin' around - even if i was coming directly from a flight from zurich switzerland. that's where i bought your first cd, wrote an e-mail and had the chance this way to buy the second one. no complaints at all, thanks again to you all !!! love and peace, Gio from Switzerland P.S. can't wait to be at another concert of you guys again !

  • Josh gives us the fresh, fun & funky feel we know and love. Excellent.
    author: David Rogers

    Josh has given us the fresh, fun & funky feel we know and love. With many touching tracks, I find myself almost overplaying the CD to learn the lyrics. The talent of the band shines out as I constantly recommend FREAK (and GET UP!) to my friends. Seriously needs some UK marketing. A masterpeice.

    I think Josh Dodes new CD is simply a masterpiece. I am personally sick and tired of listening to this polished mainstream radio music. But his music is fresh, pure and genuine. He would really deserve to get more attention nationwide and even in Europe. I am from Austria but I guess I've got to fly to New York to see him in concert. (but this wouldn't be a bad idea, anyway) To all the music lovers out there, you must buy this CD. Love TOM

  • Freak is great. Josh Dodes has done it again!!
    author: Larry

    Freak shows again that Josh Dodes is a brilliant songwriter and performer. Keep 'em coming, Josh!!

  • Great CD!
    author: James

    First of all, "Get Up" was probably one of my top 5 CD's of all time. That said, "Freak" doesn't quite make it that high, but it's still an EXCELLENT album! Love the remake of "American Angel" at the end, and "Wasted By Your Door" is amazing! Looking forward to the live CD!
