Lubriphonic
Digging deep and giving it all in everything they do Chicago’s Lubriphonic
specialize in a unique offering of funky rock n’ roll. The septet’s tight and
raw sound is immediately familiar, fusing the roots of soul with explosive
in-your-face delivery and sensuous R&B dance music.
The Lubriphonic sound is full of precision orchestrations made up of
blazing guitars, unison three piece horn lines, soulful songwriting, bluesy
vocals and the habit to cut the funk loose. The best description of the
band’s sound comes from Relix Magazine: “Superb, adventurous, diverse,
simply mesmerizing instrumental work. Steeped in soul, rock, pop, and
blues Lubriphonic's members play with a tenacity and precision that sets
them apart from equally proficient bands.”
Lubriphonic is the brainchild of guitarist Giles Corey and drummer Rick
King which began as a residency at Chicago’s legendary Checkerboard
Lounge, where they recruited some of the best blues, funk, and rock
musicians in the city for improvisational live sessions in which the kinetic
energy that make a band were initiated.
The evolution from performing as sidemen for the city’s most legendary
blues stars such as Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Koko Taylor into an original
group came from the hunger of each musician to develop an intense and
simmering sound.
Guitarist Corey explains “Everyone in Lubriphonic comes from the Chicago
blues or gospel music pools. I met Rick King while playing in blues bands
in Chicago, and when we eventually wanted to start a band together all of
the cats we knew played the blues. There were and still are all these cats
that had a strong foundation in Chicago roots music who understood the
feel and the nuances, but were dying to stretch out. Lubriphonic turned out
to be a good vehicle for that.”
It’s this expression of creativity and energy at each performance that is
paramount to Lubriphonic. “We are a live band first and foremost. There's
a palpable energy emitted by any large gathering of people,” Giles
continues. “When you perform for an audience and give them positive
energy, they take what you give them, amplify it and then throw it back to
you. It's a fantastic feeling.”
Lubriphonic – made up of Giles Corey (vocals, guitar), Richard King
(drums), Ron Haynes (trumpet), Pennal Johnson (bass), Garrick Patten
(saxophone), Norman Palm (trombone) and Andrew Toombs (keyboards)
– tour extensively, crisscrossing the country playing festivals, theaters and
clubs spending over 220 days a year on the road.
Sold out shows, national tours and their evolving sound are proof enough
of how relevant Lubriphonic is going to become in the coming years. The
group’s recent studio debut, Soul Solution manages to contain the
trademark explosive live energy an accurate studio portrayal. Since first
forming in 2002 Lubriphonic already boasts a nationwide fan base, playing
to crowds opening for such acts as Buddy Guy, Maceo Parker, George
Clinton & P-Funk, The Derek Trucks Band, Jon Popper Project, The New
Mastersounds, Karl Denson, and Buckwheat Zydeco.
Entirely committed to continuing their mission, Lubriphonic is happy to be
playing the music they love and winning over new fans each new night at
each new city. “As a sideman one of the things you learned is how to be
professional. I learned how to give to an audience, no matter what. That's
what you’ll get at a Lubriphonic show.”
