notes

MAINTAIN, LA/San Fernando Valley’s most original soul/funk band, releases their first full-length record “Soul Music” on their own ENFIELD RECORDS label October 6th 2007. This highly anticipated album features 11 tracks including 9 original songs, 1 instrumental and 1 cover of the Isley Brothers “Climbin Up The Ladder”.

“The album is titled “Soul Music” because we feel it’s the phrase that best encompasses our music,” says guitarist/vocalist Jason Gutierrez. The MAINTAIN expression of “Soul Music” is more in-tune with the organic roots of the original genre which covers a very broad range of soulful, rhythmic and poetic music. The MAINTAIN sound is a breath of fresh air in a scene filled with "neo-soul" bands who seem to be copying a certain sound & production style that has become very formulaic. The songs MAINTAIN have created have blossomed over the years without any pre-conceived concepts or formulas. This is a real band, that has been together for 7 years, expressing themselves the only way they know how: they write and play what they know and feel. The self-produced album was recorded, mixed and mastered by Jason Gutierrez at his ENFIELD STUDIOS in Reseda CA.

MAINTAIN is:
Gino Garofalo: Bass & Lead Vocals - Jason Gutierrez: Guitar & Vocals -
Rahsaan Dorsey: Keys & Vocals - Joakim Ekberg: Drums & Percussion

GUEST PERFORMERS:
Dan Hastie(ORGONE/BREAKESTRA/PLANTLIFE/PROJECTIONS): Keys on “Be Ready” & Synth on “Trees”
Coree Van Bebber(SUPERBOSS/SOULFINGER): Vocals on “All Unite” & “Some of the Things”
