Local funk boys subjektochange have a lot to be thankful for this year, as the quartet will be releasing their first studio effort, ‘Stuff,’ this holiday season. Nick DeNoia, Erv Wolf, Eric Matlock and Fletch aren’t making fans wait to bring the sounds of STC home; in fact, the first 100 lucky fans attending their upcoming Crystal Bay Club Casino show on Saturday, Nov. 28, will receive a promo copy.
‘[The promo is] three tracks that we recorded last year that were released in a limited demo, mainly to industry people, so it wasn’t sold or given out,’ DeNoia said. ‘We’ve also got three or four live tracks from our New Year’s Eve show last year, so we’ve got a mix of live and older studio material.’
The boys are back playing the Red Room in their first show there since this summer. According to DeNoia (bass guitar, vocals), the fall has been spent mixing and recording the album.
‘We did the recording in Truckee at our rehearsal studio, using all our own equipment,’ he said.
Matlock (keys, vocals), is also the band’s producer and sound engineer. The show is free and is scheduled to start at 10 p.m., directly after a showing of the new Warren Miller film, ‘Dynasty.’
For those not familiar with the sounds of STC, ready your dancing pants and perfect your hippie shuffle. While the group is known for long jams and a strong funk vibration, song lyrics are usually more meaningful than your average jam experience while still showing an element of fun. If the band breaks into ‘Question Mark’ or ‘Ropeswing’ be prepared for a foot shuffling extravaganza on par with an hour long jazzercise class.

Subjektochange plays the Red Room, 10pm, Saturday Nov. 28, free, Crystal Bay Club Casino, 14 State Route 28, Crystal Bay, NV, 775-833-6333, crystalbayclubcasino.com.
