No gags. No tricks. Jackfruit is a 100 per cent guaranteed remedy against auditory congestion. A stylish, well-tuned ensemble from Vancouver, Jackfruit combines an elegant, yet unconventional, mixture of nimble bass lines, dexterous keyboard melodies, supple drumbeats, and animated vocals. Their talents are exceptional and their songs unique, blending jazz, pop, salsa, and a twist of the classics in one fell swoop. So the next time you're stapes are tied, reach for Jackfruit.
With Chris Berry on vocals, Stephane Fortin on Bass, Ian Lamont on Keyboards and Sean Scallion on drums, Jackfruit is an all-natural remedy sure to inhibit drowsiness. Listeners be warned, Jackfruit has been known to cause sporadic episodes of foot stomping, hip swinging, hand slapping, and head bobbing. Some subjects have suffered from excessive sweating and exhaustion.
Please see your local record dealer for more details.
It's been a few years but Jackfruit has a new collection of audible inkblots ready for clinical application. The last time the Vancouver quartet hit the laboratory was over 3 three years ago putting together a collection of work entitled Check Ca. The project became a popular practice, and proved quite successful, in Basic Anabiotic Research Stations (BARS) throughout Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. Their previous test has also been applied, yielding exhilarating results, in stations like the 2nd Annual Grassroots Festival and Bonfire Festival off BC's beautiful coast. But now, they're ready for something new. Bringing together diverse roots, from bands like Blue Quarter, Slammin' Jack, and Slow Nerve Action, Jackfruit will be hitting the studio in January 2009 preparing for the upcoming Summer's festivities.
