B-Sides Live

"If Asheville’s Secret B-Sides are half as good live as their recorded tunes online suggest, then these guys can seriously boogie. With old school r&b sensibilities coupled with a touch of funk and neo-soul, these guys kick extremely tasty grooves capable of packing the dance floor with sweaty bodies." David Brewer, High Country Press, October 2008 *

The Secret B-Sides thrive on the live environment and raw energy of each show, absorbing the unpredictability of life and responding with a celebratory experience for all. On stage, among band members and off stage among audience members, a good vibe is always welcomed to smooth the way for more joy, and enjoyment. The Secret B-Sides 'Live on the Mothership' is the quintessential live B-Sides recording, capturing the untamed spirit of the band as well as sounds from the crowd who made our night at the Mothership supremely memorable. The new album, 'Flowers & Chocolate' takes the B-Sides sound production a notch higher, acknowledging the evolution of cohesive band song-writing, and highlighting plenty of kinetic instrumental moments. Look out for a future release on 7-inch vinyl, as the B-Sides enter the workshop once again at West Asheville's own Collapseable Studios.

"We all knew about the Secret B-Sides way back when. The band has been quietly gaining momentum for years, and it's not like frontman Juan Holladay is hard on the eyes and ears. But when the local old-school-meets-new-school soul/funk/R&B outfit dropped sophomore album Flowers & Chocolate earlier this year, those sultry, sweaty, swaggering sounds hit just the right note. Add to that an ambitious show schedule, lots of local festival appearances, a wrench-tight live show and a crazy-brilliant accompanying cosmology involving dinosaurs, flying saucers and a mystical land of flowers, and you begin to understand why the Secret B-Sides are the current reigning kings of soul." Alli Marshall, Mountain Xpress, October 2011 *
