Jupiter Holiday
Freedom from false boundaries of genre, Jupiter Holiday explodes as a volcano of sound spewing molten lava over high peaks and through low valleys, resulting in the delicate balance between beauty and mayhem
From heavy metal to reggae to bluegrass to smooth progressive funk-jazz, Jupiter Holiday delivers with full imagination.
After six years, Jupiter Holiday has created a generous array of material out of experimentation and hard work. For it’s members, Jupiter Holiday offers the chance to help recreate the magic that music has brought into all of humankind. “We’re just playing our part in the expression of one of the highest forms of communication” explains bassist, Kreed Kleinkopf. “Music is the facilitator and the product of every human emotion. For most of the musicians I know and admire, music is their religion. It is an opportunity to communicate with and express the divine. What we’re trying to do with Jupiter Holiday is to offer an audience something completely different than they’ve ever experienced before.”
While you can hear the raw power of their 1960’s and 70’s influences, you’ll also hear modern dance music influences like hip-hop and disco-tech. These modern influences come primarily from the precise, pulsating beats fashioned by drummer, Jason Grazian. Set against the beautifully funky arrangements by guitarist Michael Bassett and the thick spacey groove from bassist, Kreed Kleinkopf, Jupiter Holiday creates some of the most catchy, booty-shaking music heard around these lands. Add the sonic dissonance of Shaun Palmer on the soul-searing lead guitar, and you truly have something exciting and unique.
History:
Jason Grazian and Mike Bassett have been playing together since they were in Borah High School Drum Corps together. In 2002, Jason met bassist Kreed Kleinkopf in a class they shared, where they spent more time talking about music than about the class material. Together, the three talked about forming a band for over 2 years. Finally in 2005, Kreed began to practice with Mike, Jason and a variety of other musicians until they met Shaun Palmer and solidified their line-up.
In 2012 Jupiter Holiday will record their first full-length LP. “I think the album will be built out of playing live mostly. We are looking to tour in the spring and summer of 2012 and this will help us develop our music spiritually and emotionally,” says Bassett. “We don’t know where the road will take us with this journey, but we’re going to try to make it epic.”
