Bio

"Modus, a band with a funky sound, and smell." These words were bylined in The New Yorker after the band's 1969 European tour, and they couldn't be more true. Since the band members first met in 1963 at an international four-square convention, their musical creations have come to the forefront of the funk and avant guarde musical arenas of Fort Collins; wooing crowds with their expansive diversity, their disregard for convention, and their penchant toward absurdity. Dissonant, staccatto riffs are relieved by smooth and jazzy melodies to make listening a truely unique experience. In this way, Modus capitalizes on the idea of contrast; letting the instruments and parts of a song interact in unexpected ways to create an impressively different sound. In this way, the band is highly experimental, unafraid to break the stifling boundries set by many popular musical styles. Regardless of it's experimental roots, however, Modus always falls back on a solid base of melody and rhythm; keeping the crowd moving with its fast syncopation, and complex harmonic endeavors.
