Details:
A blend of island vibe, a bit of hip-hop, a drop of funk, a slice of rock, and an endless supply of fun. The Modalities are based in the North Bay and perform regularly at local coffee shops, restaurants, and bars in the area. They appeal to many age groups and audiences diverse in culture.
Frontman Singer Shawn San Nicholas from Guam weaves in a bit of island vibe into this eclectic mix of beats. Many of the other band members take the mic during live shows and the band often invites other local artists to step up during jam songs.
Each year the Modalities perform at the "Under the Sun" summer concert Series. Under the Sun is an event of original music and an exhibition of the arts. For 2005, Under the Sun will take place June 25th at the People''s Park in Berkeley, California.
Recently, the Modalities were selected by Circle of Seven Productions to perform in one of their book trailer commercials. The trailer was based on Dark Melody, a novel by New York Times Best-selling author Christine Feehan. The book trailer DVD featured three Modalities songs and their Self Arise music video.
In the year 2003 the Modalities recorded their first album Self Arise. The album was recorded at Prairie Sun Recording Studio in Cotati, CA and features nine songs. It has done well selling locally and via https://www.tradebit.com. Three songs are offered to visitors for free download from their website.
The Modalities are currently working on new material for their next album and are performing for the summer crowds.
