Bedrockk

Bedrockk is a very unique group with a lot to offer this city. Heading the group is Dave Marquess, singer, musician, and producer. In the project, he plays guitar and synthesizer, sings, and is accompanied by electronic production. Music has always been an influential part of his life, being the grandson of a jazz man hailing from the Bronx. Attending school at CU Boulder, Dave met fellow rock-climber Scott Schorr, who is Bedrockk's production specialist. At school, Dave also met drummer, Spencer Perkins, who is also known as Sparks. The trio began playing music together about 5 months ago after Dave moved to Denver. That marked the formation of Bedrockk.

With a sound they can definitely call their own, Bedrockk’s material still reflects some of the group’s influences, which are many and varied. Influences range from classics like Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, Michael Jackson, and Bob Marley, to modern electronic artists such as Joker, Mimosa and Marty Party. These influences are easily heard in their music, but in a unique way. The sound can be summed up as electronic soul/funk with some grime and dubstep undertones, though it varies pleasantly from song to song. The songs “Future Child” and “Diamond in the Night” are very reflective of the soul and blues influences, while others like “Amazon” and “Fly in the Sky” have a grimey, westcoast dubstep feel. All in all, the music is upbeat, melodic and very conducive to booty shakin. Bedrockk is starting to play shows around Denver and is definitely an act to catch if the opportunity arises.
