Flow Tribe:
Flow Tribe the band is exactly as their name
portrays. By definition FLOW is to “go from one place to another in a steady
stream, typically in large numbers.” This six piece pack stays busy going on
tour and bringing down the house at different venues around the United States.
TRIBE by definition is known as a “social division in a traditional society
consisting of families or communities.” To be in a band you need to be like
family or else society will tear you apart piece by piece leaving nothing left
but a memory. This tribe of six is full of New Orleans natives and have been a
wolf pack since 2004 when they were founded. And we thank the heavens they
haven’t ceased their existence.
Front-man KC O’Rorke, raps, he sings, he dances
and plays trumpet. He really is a true showman/entertainer. O’Rorke and his
backing band have given us some brilliant music over the years. Their live
performance is equivalent to a circus, without the animal cruelty. They bring a
parade of fans where ever they go which really makes for a community driven
experience for fans. They wear flashy outfits and groove their moves all over
stage while not missing a single beat. They are true creative
professionals.
Flow Tribe just released a new single called
“Monkey Bars”. The group frames the song as a “chill groove about
spontaneous love and loss”. The spontaneity of the song itself keeps fans
wondering where it will take them next on their listening journey. The
mesmerizing break downs and instrumental fills gave me the goosebumps. The
brass section is subtle but is that of a wonder. Incorporating the brass
instruments is what really makes this group of six a rarity amongst their
contemporaries, if there are any. The groovy guitars and dancing
cymbal sounds bring you back to the feeling of a Saturday night in your
favorite jazz club. The keen sounds of multiple guitars layering the background
and smooth vocals pushed out front over top of these leads keeps your ear privy
to the lyrics while your soul is guided by the tight rhythm section.
The Players: KC O’Rorke, vocals, trumpet; John-Michael Early, harmonica,
washboard, vocals, keyboards; Russell Olschner, drums; Chad Penot, bass,
vocals; Bryan Santos, guitar, timbales; Mario Palmisano, guitar.
If you have not done so already, stream this
single on any music streaming platform, crack open a cold one, and let the
funky music flow. These guys are active on social media and have a busy
eventful touring schedule. Come see them Friday, November 1st, 2019 8:00 PM at
The Basin Music Hall in Baton Rouge.
Tina Here: They revel in their demanding tour
schedule. It lights the feisty fire under the band’s collective conscious.They
are FULL TIME musicians. They pay the bills with gig money, you dig. They are
pals from way back. You can definitely feel the vibe of the Tribe when you
catch them live. I did. I went up to K.C. after his physically, demanding
performance. He agreed to an interview without hesitation. We had a lively
spirited chat. I commented on his energy. He hits it like the Beastie Boys,
rips notes on the trumpet, and claims Mac Rebennack inspired their musical
nonconformity. All Hail Adam and Dr. John. NO sleep til NOLA. Thanks
