Lubriphonic- groovy organic funky rock

Lubriphonic greases your ears, moves your hips, and leaves you reeling in sweaty bliss. Simmering and intense, with chops to spare, Lubriphonic’s live performances create a spicy dish that is guaranteed to cure what ails you.

Lubriphonic is the brainchild of guitarist Giles Corey and drummer Rick King and began with a residency at Chicago’s legendary Checkerboard Lounge. They recruited some of the best blues, funk, and rock musicians in the city for these raucous sessions. The result fuses roots music with explosive rock’n’roll and sensuous old-school dance music-- part Stones, part Funkadelic, and part Otis Redding.

Lubriphonic marked 2006 with it’s second album “Supermoncho” recorded completely live in the studio. Available for download at CD Baby and iTunes, the ten original tracks are aggressive and soulful, propelled by a relentless groove, crunchy guitar, and popping horns. Lubriphonic toured throughout the Midwest, including the Wakarusa Festival, Tabfest, and Blottopia VII. Live, the band expands it’s repertoire into lush and diverse improvisations, bringing their dynamic sonic stew to growing audiences everywhere.
