Bio
G - Spot Tornado was formed by three friends as a one time/ one gig at a dive bar in CT in the year 2000. After about a year since then, the band got back together to play at a college party and feeling the groove they were putting out, decided to get more serious about playing.
All three members come from different musical backgrounds, and when they are put together, it becomes a unique fusion that is truly an original. The trio has a unique blend of rock, funk, jungle, jazz, dub reggae, and death metal. This sound is achieved from each band members different musical influences. Dustins guitar playing has roots in rock, funk, and psychedelia while Matts bass sound is influenced by jazz, jungle, and reggae. Alani, a death metal drummer at heart, brings heaviness to the G Spot sound which completes the madness the band calls High Octane Funk. Playing in bars and colleges in CT, the band has developed a steady fan base in areas of the state. Toads Place, The Webster Theatre, and Porters are a few venues that the band has conquered. They have also shared stages with the likes of The Breakfast, Shakedown, Gordon Stone Band and Jen Durkin and the Bomb Squad. The band has also recorded two full length CDs with engineer Matt Vallo. One is entitled The Funk Before the Storm which is a studio album that was recorded in spring 2003 and consists of 8 original songs. The other is a live recording form a Toads Place gig in December 2003. You can hear songs from these albums on 88.7 WNHU and on the local band show on 99.1 WPLR.
As of now, the band is creating new music and plans to get back into the studio for another album while continuing to play and promote shows, and build a larger fan base.
