Album Notes

Michigan based funk-soul collective Midtown Underground was formed in the summer of 2002 in a dark, dank, basement studio on the outskirts of Detroit, Mi. Through informal jam sessions in their underground rehearsal studio and at local clubs, the band and its sound expanded, with frequent guests from the Detroit area music scene sitting in. Midtown Underground is known for their high energy and spontaneous live shows which feature their highly danceable and unique blend of vintage funk, jazz and rock n' roll.

MU's stellar rhythm section serves as the engine room, providing kinetic energy for group improvisation. The roots oriented vocal approach embraces many styles creating soaring melodies and lush harmonies while the experimental solo sections continue to push the envelope. Midtown Underground is frequently compared to the legendary Average White Band and the ground breaking Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and although the band takes great pride in paying homage to their musical heroes, the prevailing mind-set is without question original and progressive.
