Flow and Plenty were forged in the heart of Fitzroy on stage at the Evelyn Hotel's hip hop night in May 2006. This exciting collaboration of artists from Melbourne's improvised music scene and accomplished circus performer/rhymer Noah MC generate an original blend of Hip Hop, Roots and Vintage Soul. Flow And Plenty emerged from Fitzroy's vibrant music scene, cutting their teeth at the same venues as TZU, Blue King Brown, and The Cat Empire. The band draws its inspiration from artists such as The Roots, D'Angelo, Miles Davis, Skunkhour, Common and Fat Freddy's Drop. Featuring Noah MC Marley (Vocals), Jules Waters-Lynch (Keyboards), Cesar Rodrigues (Guitars), Michael Story (Basses) and Silas Gibson (Drums).
Flow And Plenty blend a strong, positive message through their lyrics with well crafted musical statements. They create a fine tapestry of jazz, hip hop, soul, RnB and blues woven through meticulous song arrangements. This has been captured beautifully on their self titled EP which has just been released independently. The recording was a collaboration between the band and some of the best engineers, mixers,musicians and visual artists in Melbourne, to create an authentic artistic statement about the music they love.
The self titled EP is the culmination of over a years work of gigs, rehearsals, writing and tweaking. The band walked into the studio in July 2007 to lay down six tracks with John Castle at 'The Shed' recording studios. After a lot of hard work and invaluable support from people who helped out on the project, Flow and Plenty have produced a work that they are all very proud of. Many thanks go out to everyone who has supported Flow And Plenty, especially, John Castle, Monty Mackenzie, Adrian Shaw, Jo Carra (Crystal Mastering), Bec Newman (Photography), and Pip and Joel.
