The Space lays down solid grooves and eccentric rhythms that will keep you riding along the edge. Musical experimentation and pure enjoyment is the foundational backbone of their music, which is apparent during a live performance. They always delve into the unknown – unknown space –!
For the circle, it’s always preponderant to see the Space because each performance is one in it's own. The set list is never the same twice, and their onstage improvisation / experimentation, as well as their creative monkeyshines, is a pleasure to rehash.
Their monolithic sound is heard in their set of 95% original music, with only a handful of discriminative cover songs. The band’s playbill of musicians is no small part of their unique sound.
Brent brings a soulful blend of influences including blues, jazz, rock, reggae, funk and bluegrass. If you mix all that up, let it ferment for 15+ years and add a zip of energy with attitude – well, it makes for brilliant guitar work, accompanied by his own…sometimes smooth, sometimes gritty vocal style.
Jason, the backbone of the Space, brings influences from jazz, blues, rock and funk. He has played throughout the midwest for several years in blues bands and has shared stages with many. His savvy style creates the concrete foundation, yet it allows unique space for improvisation and creativeness throughout the music.
CC Patroni blows....the trumpet that is! He is the bands secret weapon. He only comes out late at night and can be seen from a distance circling your local den of vise. He sometimes get mistaken for the bodygaurd but when he grips up his horn the crowd knows his place. His smooth soulful playing fuses the music into unforgettable grooves. CC is an integral part of the sound of unknown space.
D.B., on the drums...well what to say about D. He's cool, he is definately a man and well....he's crazy too. He plays all sorts of drum beats and patterns and is basically like have a metronome (no not a traveling nome). He is very easy to get along with, never complaining about stuff, always smiling, he is not obsessive compulsive and he just loves to go with the flow. Oh yeah and lastly everywhere the space travels and all the people they meet, they all love D, yes it's that kinda warm-fuzzy-puppy-love.
The unique trademark sound that is Unknown Space includes jam band/progressive/rock elements. Their sound has a 60s feel to it, blended with modern sensibilities. And, they know how to write tunes with a hook.
