A Letter to Our Fans ...

We’re writing to let you know that we’ve decided to change our band name. Although this seems sudden, it’s something that has been brewing for quite some time. The music the band is writing and recording has reached a point where the name Flowmotion is an unsuitable description for who the band is now. With a solidified line up and many members writing material, transitioning to a new band name allows us to evolve into whatever it is we want to become. This is by no means a letter to tell fans we no longer will be performing older Flowmotion material, or “the hits”. In many ways, the only thing changing is the name. We’re using a new name, a less descriptive one, to help us personally and artistically bridge the gap between past material and what’s destined to become. Since the name change decision, we’ve been mining old material with a renewed energy and it’s breathing a new life!

The new band and album name will be The True Spokes. The album will be released on Saturday, February 4th at the Showbox as part of the Winter Warm Up. Please visit The True Spokes on Facebook (www.Facebook.com/TrueSpokes) or our new website (www.TrueSpokes.com) to hear a track off the new album. The True Spokes name comes from the balance achieved when a wheel has been trued. The spokes of a wheel need to be balanced for a wheel to function and there’s no question that over the past year, the band has found that balance. The True Spokes are tighter than ever on both a personal and musical level. We also like how The True Spokes sounds like “truth speaks” and “true folks” and we strongly believe in all these ideas the new name represents.

Saturday, December 31st looks to be our last show as “Flowmotion”. This is a New Year’s Eve show at Nectar Lounge in Seattle with our friends Handful of Luvin’. Please help ring in what promises to be a celebrated year for us. The Winter Warm Up/Album release show follows in February and we’re excited to announce that The Mother Hips will be joining us for this show. This show will be billed as” Flowmotion is The True Spokes” and then it’s The True Spokes forever after that.

We’re hyper aware of all the pitfalls that come from a name change eleven years in. Everything from confusing or losing fans, to figuring out how to deal with social networking and the Internet will prove to be a challenge. But, sometimes an artistic desire and inspiration churns so hard in our guts we don’t have a choice but to follow it, regardless of the financial or social ramifications. We’re extremely excited for the new album and consider it to be one of our proudest achievements. Flowmotion has thousands of passionate fans and we cherish each and every one of you. You’re our foundation and we’re not going anywhere! You’ve built us up and made many dreams come true. We’ll continue on the only way we know how, through music, and we hope you’ll continue to support us for many years to come. This adventure burns bright!

Yours truly,
Josh, RL, Scott, Eric, and Bob

GHOST PEPPER IS THIS WEEK'S "Pick of the Week" ON JAMBASE.COM!

JamBase Albums of the Week | April 2-April 8, 2010

Dennis’ Pick of the Week
Flowmotion: Ghost Pepper (Flowmotion Music)
Of late, rock has gotten a bit inelegant. There’s edginess, aloofness, ginned up loft, experimentation and angst aplenty, but there’s a real dirth of quality melodies and un-syrupy romance and hopefulness that don’t resort to clichés. Part of the reason ’70s classic rock endures is the abiding craftsmanship and real savvy of its best exponents at creating sonic spaces with lots of room for people to inhabit. There’s a real art to creating rock that’s primed to connect across a wide spectrum AND doesn’t feel like some gross, lowest common denominator ploy. In Ghost Pepper (released March 17), Flowmotion delivers a song cycle that’s as skillfully wrought and artfully sculpted as “classic” forebears like Traffic and early Journey and Doobie Brothers, while managing to work in nuances in keeping with peers like The Mother Hips and ALO. If you dream and stumble and love and struggle, well, there’s plenty to grab onto here, and the music carries one along with a deceptively easy flow. This is not simple music but in keeping with their name, Flowmotion makes things seem easy, never showboating or strutting, letting the quality of their tunes, lyrics and musicianship speak for themselves while maintaining a distinctively organic feel, where one senses the players in the room together chasing something big & true and capturing it with their bare hands and nakedly passionate vocals. Oh sure, there’s blistering guitar solos and crazy, time changing turnarounds but all of it serves the songs, which are uniformly excellent and show that the whole damn band has real compositional acumen. Captured largely live in the studio in a whirlwind session with relentlessly great producer Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective), Ghost Pepper hums with life – hard won happiness and sorrowful moments distilled into a very useful tool for our own living. There’s real focus here, though one can hear all the jazzbo-technical, jam-ready bits lurking in the curves, making this an extremely satisfying home listening experience that also stirs high hopes for the live counterparts to come. Ghost Pepper is the work of real pros more than ready for AOR airplay and a much wider audience beyond their fervent Pacific Northwest following, and more simply, a lovely album packed with muscular, graceful rock ‘n’ roll of the very best kind. (Dennis Cook)

 
SEATTLE ROCK STALWARTS HEAD SOUTH TO SHOWCASE STELLAR NEW ALBUM

Flowmotion
Sometimes all one needs is the perfect messenger to remind them what a splendid idea rock ‘n’ roll is. Seattle’s Flowmotion do just that, extolling rock’s fundamental pleasures with palpable exuberance and naked talent. In celebration of the release of their fab new album, Ghost Pepper, the band will be performing a series of dates in Oregon, California and Washington, offering an opportunity for lovers of classic, melodic rock with serious muscle to see this powerhouse quintet in action.

Crafted with Grammy Award winning producer Scott Colburn (Arcade Fire, Animal Collective, Sun City Girls), Ghost Pepper has the feel of Wilco, ALO and The Mother Hips, or leaning further back, Traffic, Journey and Little Feat in their fighting prime, an emotionally honest, believably hopeful song cycle that reacquaints one with the power of a fully formed album and not just some random jumble of new tunes.

“I’ve never seen anything quite like it,” says Colburn. “It made me realize that a band like Flowmotion is the kind of band that would be huge in an earlier decade because they are REALLY good, professional musicians that take music making very seriously. They have all the cards in the right place and do what it takes to succeed in making music for a living. These days, you don’t see this level of musicianship. I think over time, the general public has accepted less and less in terms of quality of music, so it makes it hard when a band like this comes through. The general public doesn’t know quite what to make of it because they’ve been exposed to dreck for so long. They can’t handle something that is truly great. That’s why the legions of Flowmotion followers are an elite club of people with taste and the ability to personally find the orchids in a sea of dandelions.”

FLOWMOTION makes Jambase Melody Monday

IT’S OKAY TO WONDER, JUST DON’T BE AFRAID
Flowmotion
The future is always unknown. We can conjecture and plan but the actual passage of time is fraught with potholes and rainbows we never see coming. However, we can hope for beautiful tomorrows rich with fulfillment and free of strife. And sometimes all we need to set us on such a path is the right song. Thus, we offer you Flowmotion’s “How I Know,” a song with the nearness and grandeur of the best U2, that also offers us a taste of their forthcoming new album this winter. May this tune help you find some positive winds to fill your sails this new week!
