Fluttr Effect Trio
Acoustic / Pop / Alternative
Thursday June 14, 2007

This wing of Fluttr Effect forgoes the rock essentials of guitar and drums, reimagining and reexamining the work of the full band with new arrangements that suit the interplay of their eclectic instrumentation.

The delicate weaving of warm-toned marimba, rich cello, and insistently haunting vocals emphasizes the vibrancy and intimacy of their songs. In this more acoustic setting the Fluttr Effect Trio exposes the bare bones of their music, revealing a sound that is vivid and moving.

Mando
Acoustic / Psychedelic / Jam Band

Saturday May 26, 2007

Mando started playing guitar about 11 years ago. Since then, he's picked up the mandolin and has recently added harmonica to the mix. He used to perform in a couple rock/jam bands out in Grand Rapids Michigan and has also composed baroque & atonal music for the piano. Having grown up in Eastern Mass this is his first time being home for any regular amount of time in about 5 years. He recently finished hiking the Appalachian trail from Georgia to Maine, which was the inspiration for a couple of the tunes on his MySpace page.

Click here to see pix from his show on May 26th and from his Open Mic appearance on May 25th (with the Gulu's very own Karen Powell rocking out on the Harmonica!).

Matthew Joy
Acoustic / Jazz
Thursday April 26, 2007

Guitarist Matthew Joy, an innovative musician and composer, brings forth a refreshing sound, blending different styles of music including jazz, folk, Brazilian, blues, rock, and world.

Throughout college Matthew was immersed in developing the craft of composing and solo guitar playing. Being introduced to the music of such artists as Ralph Towner, and Egberto Gismonti, Matthew became hooked onto the sound of the acoustic guitar. This style of playing was intriguing to him because of the intimacy, and subtleties of acoustic nylon and 12-string guitars, coupled with the fact that not many people were doing this. Matthew began broadening his style studying jazz composition at Berklee College of Music in Boston. Here he was composing for large ensembles, studying varieties of Latin, African, Eurasian, and Asian music, and taking guitar lessons with Jon Damian and Mick Goodrick. Matthew's compositions have been performed and recorded by other artists in Boston, New York , and in Europe.

Dan Blakeslee
Indie / Rock / Folk
Saturday March 24, 2007

Dan Blakeslee's music, categorically speaking, is impossible to classify. It sparks images of melted candles in city square vigils, lone tree hills or a shoreline drive at dawn. Blakeslee seems unconcerned with where the songs fall, only that hes tapped into their ghostly essence and emerged with a blinding account of life itself.

After attending the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore, Blakeslee ventured northward to Boston. He toiled with his acoustic in the smoke-laden subways before slowly rolling his influences (Leonard Cohen, Red House Painters, The Smiths, Jeff Buckley, Vic Chestnut, Radiohead, Tom Waits and the aforementioned Cash) into his own eclectic blend of music with chameleon-like appeal.

The Milling Gowns
Indie / Rock
Thursday March 22, 2007

Reminiscent of the Smiths, Depeche Mode, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, and the Magnetic Fields, their songs are mostly slow, stately and sad. Gorgeous too. It's not the kind of music people tend to go out to see for a classic "good time." But the rewards are there and sometimes deeper. The Milling Gowns feature singer/ songwriter “M”, pianist Sharon Crumrine, John Stazinski on bass, Jeffrey Scott Mays on drums and electric violinist Betty Widerski (who also performs with Gulu favorite Reverend Bob and the Darkness).

Dagmar 2 (Experimental / Glam / Rock) with John Nicholls & The Sinful 3 (Acoustic / Folk Rock)
Saturday March 3, 2007

DAGMAR 2 is a 21st century alt-rock opera band. They have recently released their first CD, "Door No. 1" about a guy who can't get out of bed in the morning and an insect goddess who plunges through the ether to rescue him.  It's idiosyncratic, lyric-driven music & narrative, with frequent comparisons made to Nina Hagen, Flaming Lips, Kate Bush, The Who's "Tommy" and Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

What anchors the band is the singers’ voices: his is weary and experienced, hers is hauntingly beautiful, and they play back and forth over a soundtrack that is equal parts rock fury and jazzy resignation. Their energy, even as they sing about wanting to stay in bed all day, is contagious.

The JP Jazz Collective
Jazz
Saturday February 10, 2007

JP Jazz Collective, which occasionally performs anonymously as the "Safe Sextet," is a combination of weary veterans and brash upstarts, plus one or two in between. Concentrating on the great jazz of the hard bop and post-bop periods (just before melody disappeared), JPJC's formidable line-up of two saxes, violin, guitar, bass and drums will have you shaking your head, hopefully in time.

Ambient / Folk

28 Degrees Taurus with Oftenairborne
Psychedelic / Ambient / Rock
Thursday August 3, 2006

Boston-based 28 Degrees Taurus has seen many incarnations over their nearly ten-year existence as a band/concept. Their current sound is centered around the asian pentatonic scale based reverb drenched guitar and voice work of founder Jinsen. There is also a sharp separation between their studio world and their live world. The records are dreamy, intimate and romantic pieces that sit somewhere between a Slowdive record and a Japanese folk-song. The live shows are a loud, ultra high energy, psychedelic, noise and chaotic freak out session that feature Barry Marino (AKA Oftenairborne) on drums.

The Accident That Led Me to the World with Special Guest Jerry Fels
Acoustic / Folk / Down-tempo
Saturday June 10, 2006

"the accident that led me to the world" is based, firstly, upon a four track tape containing the tracks the accident... and small way. And secondly, a story that later developed from the content of these songs. While the band can be referred to as "the accident", it is merely the project at hand. The songs sing of being frightened, aware, and alone amidst a sea of people immersed in directionless worry. The underying plot of a small boy escaping to a deserted island, gaining the prize of life's true value: hope and time.

On Thursday October 13th we hosted a "meet and greet" party at the cafe so newcomers to Lynn would have an opportunity to get to know each other. We had a great crowd down at the Gulu-Gulu and we wanted to thank everyone who found the time to participate.

We also wanted to thank Simon Templar, from Remax Real Estate Specialists who sponsored the food for this event. To contact Simon please call 617.680.3684 or email simon_templar@comcast.net.
