NEWS:

Stellakinesis starred in a video production by Oregon Music Live, shot in the local cable access television studios of Portland Community Media! We are thrilled with the result! We had several huge TV cameras on us, which were mixed on the fly along with psychedelic eye candy by Charlie Nanos (who did the projection work for us at our Tabor Lounge shows). Best of all, we pulled off an especially tight and inspired performance! Excerpts on YouTube are embedded below. We're looking into producing a batch of DVDs. See pics of the shoot here.

Thank you Jeffrey Ryerson for producing the show, and getting us in there! For info on the show and other video samples, go to www.oregonmusiclive.com.


Travis bought an incredible custom DW kit, and it is gorgeous -- and thunderous! 8)

We've been working on new tunes -- especially of the booty-shaking and jam-vehicle varieties.

ABOUT STELLAKINESIS:

  • stellar funky rock
  • phunky phusion
  • high-energy electro-jazz & jamz...

Rooted in funky jazz, but infused with fiery rock, uptempo modern beats, and exploratory psychedelic jams, Stellakinesis takes danceable rhythms, rich with percussion, and adds sophisticated harmonies and stimulating changes to make music more colorful and interesting than most dance music, while maintaining the momentum for the dance floor.

The music includes improvisational stretches which add excitement and freshness to each performance, yet the band is careful to not allow them to get too longwinded or chaotic for the audience.

Stellakinesis is inspired by funky party bands, jazz virtuosos, rock heroes, prog rock geniuses, and the jamband greats alike, and they strive to combine the best elements of these styles into a satisfying musical experience.
