Elev8tor headlines Darkroom 7 Year Anniversary Bash

Elev8tor is a band you are going to hear a lot about this year.  They have multiple releases scheduled to drop in 2010 from Chicago’s Revolutionary Music imprint.  This Friday they are headlining Darkroom’s 7 Year Anniversary party.  Last Saturday, label mates Bryan Ford & Goulet rocked a full house at Darkroom.  Odds are that this week will bring the same energy and then some due to it being the venue’s anniversary party.  Don’t miss this show!

Kevin Ford, the keys player and band leader for the wildly popular nationally touring Afrobeat band – the Chicago Afrobeat Project, has done it again with his newest project – Elev8tor.  This new project fuses electronic and organic music together creating everything from soul dub to disco to downtempo to nu jazz and beyond.  Sam Sharp, drummer for J Davis Trio, anchors the heavy rhythms which are accented by ultra phat bass lines from bassist extraordinaire Olin Langley.   Bryan Ford (Bryan Ford & Goulet), a revered multi-intrumentalist is the newest member of the ensemble – stepping in to play guitar.  Kevin Ford plays an array of synths, organs and samples while Darcy Markham pulls it all together with her amazing voice.
