JOHN BROWNE, SUBCONSCIOUS POPULATION AND STONEY BEACH
"Progressing from college sophomore to folk-music groupie-worshiper of Tom Rush, Fred Neil, Buffy St. Marie & Bob Gibson in early-60s Miami, John Browne's musical career has been what he jokingly refers to one long, downward spiral to this present time……but we all know differently.
In the guise of 1/5 of the Ph Phactor Jugband in the 'Frisco of '66, John was present (if stupefied) as an opening act for a number of notable performers- many of them dead- including Frank Zappa, Lenny Bruce, Dan Hicks, The Dead, The Doors, The Quicksilver Messenger Service, Blue Cheer, The Byrds, The Airplane, Lightnin' Hopkins, Mance Lipscomb, Country Joe & the Fish, Art Linkletter, The Congress of Wonders, and others.
Just don't ask him what he remembers... because he WAS there, you know... He is married to his art- and journeys on with something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue-- all of which will likely accompany him to the Final Fireplace (and some sort of more-or-less inevitable Immolation). He loves everyone, and everything (& perhaps some unquantifiables, as well) because he is a Hippy."
Subconscious Population….a band that everyone knows and is a huge part of Island history when it comes to music. If you think that maybe, just maybe... on a quiet summer night, sitting on your porch perhaps...you might have heard wisps of "Jah Lee Kali", "Funkified" or "One In A Million" floating through the air...you just might have.
Yes, one of the island's most mysterious and captivating bands ever is back at it and having a blast blazing through their classic songs, as well as creating their own spin on some very cool covers. Like Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here"....or Jimi's "All Along The Watchtower".
These boys are having some fun and if you're lucky, you'll hear some of that from your porch, if the wind carries it just right. If you saw them at last year’s Halloween show last October, you witnessed one of their best shows ever. They're back in full force and tighter than they have ever been. Now it's time we call them out for one of their captivating magical mystery shows.....
Looking for entertainment without a hair complex? Stoney Beach is just the band you've been waiting for. This garage five-piece is comprised of Vashon Island's good ol' boys and a couple of bad ones. With Ian Bradley on lead guitar, Nigel Brown on drums, Colin Brynn on the mic & guitar, Shawn Burns on harmonica and Chris Hayward singing & on the bass, you're guaranteed an upbeat sound with a derelict attitude.
Stoney Beach has a style that compliments their well-polished talents with a laid back approach. With a sound mostly inspired by blues, punk and American rock, the tunes they produce are genuine and soulful. They play several covers and have been cranking out originals since the beginning. Most of the members have been spotted in other island bands, including Bob Scott and the Pockets, Chomage, Tribal Voices and Innocent Criminals.
Stoney Beach hit the Vashon scene in June of 2009 and they have been going strong ever since. After just a few months of practice together, the band eagerly performed at Lisabeula and the 2nd Annual Vashon Island Music Festival at Agren Park this summer. They also recorded a three-song EP at Bear Creek Recording Studio in Woodinville, WA with plans to record a full length album in the future.
The band will take it to the next level when they get there, but for now Stoney Beach can be found exclusively on Vashon Island. All-ages 'til 11pm, 21+ after that. DONATIONS ACCEPTED
