“Thank You”
“Creature”
“60 fingers, 12 legs, 6 mouths - 1 voice.”
- reads the opening line of Mosaic’s bio. I wish I’d read that before I caught them for the first time at a Grammy party earlier this year. What I heard that night led me to believe that there were also 2 or 3 synthesizers, a drum machine and maybe a CD player backing them up. The performance was so impressive that when someone in the audience told me it was all done with their voices, I caught myself actually peeking behind the backstage drape and lurking by the front of house engineer in disbelief. There just had to be a catch.
The catch is that these guys can execute a-cappella harmonies, rhythms and accompaniments that are, in a word, amazing. They’re a Take 6 meets Kid Beyond, wrapped in hip-hop sensibilities with a touch of humor thrown in to balance out the egos.
Since that February evening when I caught their show, the band has continued to grow. They regularly open for the George Wallace show at the Flamingo in Las Vegas. Additionally, they have opened for none other than Prince on a couple of occasions as well.I think that these guys have tremendous upside. Someone with a little vision should come along and snatch up this group in the near future.
What do you think?
