Genre : Psychedelic Jazz Fusion

Location : Ybor City/Tampa, FL

Stats : Formed in September 2008, the trio played their first show on New Years Day, 2009.

Influences : Bride of Chaotica's arrangements are influenced by late '50's- early '60's cool-jazz era artists (Miles Davis/John Coltrane/Wes Montgomery), '70's fusion groups (Return to Forever/Mahavishnu Orchestra), and British psychedelia (Jimi Hendrix/Cream/Pink Floyd).

Specs : The band's self-described "evenings of dangerous jazz" feature episodic forays into the sonic unknown. Two albums worth of Bride of Chaotica's own striking instrumentals, intermingled with their rearrangements of classic hits from a spectrum of recording artists ranging from the Beatles to Curtis Mayfield to Roxy Music, provides the source material for their trademark live improv explorations.

Summary : Edgy, propulsive, psychedelic jazz fusion defines the Bride of Chaotica experience. An intricate, vividly cinematic, modern sound informed by the improvisational spirit of jazz and rock champions of the late 20th century.
