“Drumming virtuoso Bobby Rock leads this powerhouse new band through a truly innovative set of hard-groovin’ rock, funk and Latin influenced tunes. These guys can play! Don’t miss this one...” Independent Music Journal |
What is it?
Bio-Tribe is Bobby's latest solo endeavor. Expanding on Bobby's usual guitar-bass-drums power trio format, Bio-Tribe features the addition of two percussionists, bringing an expanded rhythmic dimension to Bobby's signature funk/rock sound.
Does this mean that Bobby plays a scaled-down kit in Bio-Tribe? No way! In fact, Bobby's main solo kit has expanded this last year to 10-25-25: 10 pedals, 25 drums and 25 cymbals. This massive kit and all of the over-the-top multi-rhythmic grooves and solo ideas that Bobby plays on it - combined with the layers of percussive textures brought in by Bobby's cohorts - creates the foundation for this innovative new sound.
