JimiE and the Moral Groove

Bio:

JimiE and the Moral Groove originated from Laguna Beach, CA in 1998. Founding members JimiE and Gabe Rosales envisioned a music landscape where genres were meant to be explored and tampered with, where soul was still a double meaning encompassing the actual depth, and feel of the music, where lyrics were thought out, and expressed through creative, intelligent, linguistic similes and metaphors without over indulging on cliches. Where experimenting, and developing well written songs was there only aspirations. The Moral Groove Mantra was and always will be LISTEN AND THEN BELIEVE....... Through playing every club in Southern California, (that is no exaggeration) JimiE and the Moral Groove have perfected the live show with antics, musicianship, performance and excitement. Their groove and funk is unmistakable. Their rock is rock solid. Their loyalty to the roots of music is unquestionable. From influences Prince, James Brown, Primus, Incubus, Michaell Jackson, Faith No More, Robin Thicke, Sebastian Bach, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Justin Timberlake........There has emerged a consistent band from them "Moral Groove"..LISTEN AND THEN BELIEVE. object width="425" height="350"> .. .. .. http://www.dfjamsstore.com/index.php?target=products&product_id=232 .. .. ..

Sounds Like:

Prince, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, Stevie Wonder, and Michael Jackson, Incubus. Sounds more like our own sound, only 4 the simple fact that God created little nuances and attributes that separate human beings apart from one another. My lips and mouth are bigger than, say, MJ. My vocal chords are not as thin as, say, Mariah Carey, but all the elements that play a part in my timber, and resonating high frequencies.....................................................................OK........ I sound like these people!! <
