Floodgate returns to College Statioi
to celebrate new CD release
By LYCIA SHRUM
THE BATTALION
After taking a sabbatical
from the College Station music
scene and recording a self-titled
CD, Floodgate is ready for the
local stage again.
On Friday night at Third Floor
Cantina, Floodgate will host a CD
release party featuring Adamo as
the opening band. Floodgate will
feature songs from its newly-
released CD. There is a $5 cover.
Floodgate members Adam
Ferguson, vocals, guitar, Jeff
Quinn vocals, guitar, Jim
Cottrill, keyboard, James Ryan,
bass and Toby Kyte, drums, said
they are excited to be playing for
an audience again and try to
bring a variety of different ele
ments to the stage.
“We try to be careful not to
saturate the music scene with
the same stuff all the time,”
Cottrill said.
While the band said it really
enjoys playing for a hometown
crowd, building a national follow
ing is not one of their top priorities.
“As long as we have a large
local following, we’re happy.”
Quinn said.
Formed in Fall 1998,
Floodgate has sustained sev
eral transitions with bassists
and drummers and has
formed a style the members
describe as a success.
Cottrill said people who have
heard Floodgate before often say
the band’s sound has elements of
Blues Traveler, Phish, Train and a
blues element reminiscent of the
Black Crowes.
Floodgate said it is impossible
to pick a single song to describe
its signature sound.
“It's so hard to label our sound
with one title,” Cottrill said.
Floodgate’s sound, which
alters between alternative, rock,
modem rock or alternative coun
try, contains hints of jazz and folk
rock. Each band member has his
own definition of the band’s style,
but they all agree that the sound of
their new CD combines a mix of
writing, producing and reel
ing process by the k
Cottrill said the band’s seci
CD is in production andshi
be released in 2002.
"We’re already excited s
the second CD,” Cottrill s
“The CD that we just frnishd
really good, but 1 think the sec
one will be even better bea
we all feel more experiencei!
each element that goes along*
making a CD.”
Each band member said ti I
always would be musicallyac
A&
many music genres.
To cite one example of the
band’s stark flavor, critics
reviewed Floodgate’s song
“Witch,” that was featured on
Blue Rodeo new music Network,
as a "great rock tune ... it has a ton
of energy and a good hook ... a
happy melody and dark lyrics.”
Each band member contributes
to the songwriting process, which
they say is their main priority.
Ferguson said when he begins
writing, what ends up on paper is
out of his control: he said the
lyrics come with the music.
The CD, that took a year to
complete, was an independent
but would refrain from pursuii:
record deal because of the ij
reign it currently has in their!!
sonal musical decisions.
“I think the band aln
possesses the capabilitiei
make a good CD," Fergus
said. “We don’t reall\ Iw
need for a label.”
