Harmonious Junk
Harmonious Junk Harmonious Junk is a Denver, Colorado based Funk/Improv Rock/Jazz combo led by former lead guitarist with the James Brown Band, Damon Wood. The group began as an outlet with which to write and perform while Wood was not touring with the Godfather of Soul. Since it's inception in 2001, Harmonious Junk has consistently toured Colorado, much of the Western region, and released 2 studio CD's, 2005's Space Cadet and 2008's Too Cocky In Nagasaki. The music is a blend of Psychedelic Rock, Jazz Improvisation, Blues and Funk with some hints of Reggae and European tones. Touring with James Brown for 7 years and then hundreds of shows in Colorado with HJ, introduced Wood to new directions and insights which would fuse and form the Harmonious Junk sound. Featuring a new lineup for 2009 consisting of Damon Wood-guitar and vocals, Karl Topper-bass and Mike Goletz-drums and vocals, the group is primed for playing out, writing new material, and will be recording for the next CD soon. Marquee Mag writer Michael Hedrick said in his 2009 CD Review for the band's "Too Cocky In Nagasaki", "the funkiest, grooviest and headiest rhythms, this is the epitome of music 'to get down to'".
