Sideproject

2009 WESTCHESTER COUNTY BATTLE OF THE BANDS CHAMPS!



Sideproject is a Funk Rock/ Blues power trio that formed in 2005 out of Vista, NY. Originally, a 6 piece band, Sideproject made some serious adjustments early on, and then came a long way to find that perfect sound to truly reach the souls of their listeners, and the flawless lineup to make art of it. Since their arrival to the world of rock and roll music, the band has written an extensive repetoire of orginial music, recorded professionally in NYC, working with well known producer David Patillo, and played over 70 shows, (Including famous and historic venues such as "The Bitter End" NYC, "Westchester County Center", NY, and "The Ridgefield Playhouse Theater", CT). Sideproject has also had the honor to open for the band State Radio. The band carries a heavy, yet very groovy, organic rock sound with a whole lot of funk and blues thrown on top. Sideproject is heavily influenced by artists such as Jimi Hendrix, Cream, The Who, Pearl Jam, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Soundgarden, and the inspirations from these influences certainly come across the band's original music. Sideproject's music varies in tambre, but often features some great, heavy, earthy, bluesy and funky grooves, with intense melodies, interesting lyrics, great improvisation, and a growing repetoire of more melodic, beautitful, and chord progression based songs and acoustic numbers. As a trio, they have been acknowledged for their ability to truly fill up a stage. The 3 members of the band, Alex Cano, Ryan Maclean, and Sam Breslin, are all very devoted to making each performance a unique and exciting experience. During live shows, the band plays with a great amount of energy, and often likes to throw in surprises, such as exending certain songs and adding unknown written instrumental sections, as well as extended sections for improvisation to keep things exciting, interesting, and full of surprises each time they take the stage. Their love and passion for music is always evident through their expression and live performance. Every Sideproject show is certainly guaranteed to be a great time, and always one that will keep you on your feet and satisfy your soul. Sideproject has set high hopes for the future, and the band is currently in the process of writing and recording a ton of new material, hoping to release a full length debut album in the near future.
