Every once in a while, and it’s been awhile since we’ve seen the last,
a band comes along that breaks down the barriers. Euphoraphonic is that
band. They create good straight rock n’ roll with a twist. It’s an alien
thing and unless one buys the record or goes to a show, you just aren’t
going to get "it".
"It" is a unique experience, as any Euphoraphonic fan can attest. Smoke machines, heavy light
show, and surprises at every turn. Elements of progressive rock mixed with grunge, and pop
melodies alongside heavy moments of electronica, fill out Euphoraphonic’s sound. This is not
something that you will find anywhere else in a musical group today. Guaranteed. One moment
you are blown away by the depth and groove, the next you shake your head in wonderment at the
shear confidence of this band.
"It’s almost as if these guys were frozen in time and brought out when Rock n’ Roll needed
weed, women and song the most." SonicMonk
It was a meeting of the musical minds and a mutual vibe that brought Euphoraphonic together.
Front man Mic’l Wolf (lead vocals) honed his talents fronting the European hard rock act Bloodstone,
touring primarily in and around Amsterdam. Guitar riffing brothers Robbie and Neal Lodestar hailed
from Brother Vibe. Tom Koncan (drums) built his beats with bands such as Rubbersnake and Big Smile,
and Calvin Beale (bass) tightened his chops as an R&B player with groups such as Kardinal Offishal,
Maestro and Ivana Santilli. Dave Klotz (keys) is a live performance veteran who was recently involved
with Hayden Creative.
Original members, Wolf and R. Lodestar came together in 2001, and within three months, had completed
enough material for three albums. the debut is self titled. Recording the album during eight weeks
Euphoraphonicbrought on hand the best of the best to create this album. Dave Schiffman (Rage Against
The Machine/Chris Cornell, Chili Peppers, Jane’s Addiction and Nine Inch Nails) produced the tracks
at Metalworks in Ontario and mixed at Cello Studios in LA. Eddy Schreyer (Offspring, Alice In Chains
and Jane’s Addiction) mastered the tracks down at Oasis in L.A.
Euphoraphonic released their self titled debut CD on May 7, 2002 on Linus Entertainment with distribution
and promotion through Warner Music. The CD has already yielded two #1 Psychedelic Rock tracks, including a
Top Ten ranking in Rock on Mp3.com, and the fans have been responding in droves.
The response speaks for itself:
- "Whoa!!!! Great Music" (Denver, CO) , "Loved it! I Like your style" (Germany)

- "Your music is rocking us while we work" (UK)
