Biography For the past year, intervision has single-handedly created a groove epidemic in their hometown of Portland, OR. Combining elements of soul, rock, jazz and pop, the quintet is earning lofty comparisons to bands like Steely Dan, Stevie Wonder, and Jamiroquai, yet have created their own intensely unique sound.
In April 2007 the band released their sophomore album to sell-out crowds in the River City. Recorded at the famed Kung Fu Bakery with acclaimed engineer/producer Bob Stark, "Shades of Neptune", reflects a mature evolution of a band that is setting itself apart from the pack. Showcasing the super soul-powered vocals of lead singer Paul Creighton, rich harmonies and several of the city’s best studio musicians, it is already turning industry ears their way. The Oregonian’s Pop Music Critic, Luciana Lopez says, “Sweet, mellow, jazzy and soulful…the disc is laid-back and danceable, and man, does it ever get in your head (and I mean that in a good way). Don't believe me? Take a listen.” Their 2005 debut release, Inside, has sold more than 3,000 copies in Portland. Also recorded at Kung Fu Bakery, the album features such guest musicians as Hans Teuber (woodwinds/Ani Difranco) and legendary Portland guitarist Dan Balmer, and was co-produced with Bob Stark. Led by the undeniably soulful tenor of lead vocalist Paul Creighton, each member of the band asserts a distinct musical personality that has added to their unique style. While Creighton’s sound invokes Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Sting and the improvisational flavor of Kurt Elling, the influences of Tom Petty, Stone Temple Pilots, and Dave Matthews are sewn in by the rhythmic riffs of guitarist/vocalist Tony Stovin. Keyboardist Kit Taylor rounds out the three-vocal front with his own twists of jazz and hip-hop while bassist Mike Glidden and drummer Jon Barber lay down their signature undulating groove. Peace & Love. The boys of intervision. |
