Motherlode is a Greasy Soul Funk all
star band which
features what
are considered some of the hottest musicians on the Jam-Jazz-Funk
scene today. This band was brought together by Cochemea Gastelum
and Boom Boom Room (S.F.) for its first manifestation as a group
in October 2005 for Boom Boom Room Presents Katrina Benefit Festival
("Frequinox Music
Festival"). It is an evolved creation drawing its members
and origin from
the band 'MOTHERLODE' which had originally began in the mid nineties
as part of a D.J. night at the original Casbah in San Diego.
What started out as an underground hang for local hipsters and
vinyl junkies, quickly became a collective of young(some too
young to drink),punk rock/funk musicians playing solos to 60's
and 70's funk and boogaloo records. Soon after, Motherlode was
formed as the house band, playing live versions of rare, classic
soul and funk. Soon, they were packing the club and gaining recognition
quickly. The members, at one time or another, included: Robert
Walter, Zak Najor, Cochemea " Cheme" Gastelum, Chris
Stillwell, Printz Board and Brian Jordan.
