Geri X. and Plutoniates
06/02/2010 8:00 PM
Bulgarian-born singer-songwriter, Geri X, traveled the better (or worse) part of Europe before settling down in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2005. Her classical training on piano and guitar is infused with the emotional songwriting style of artists such as Damien Rice, Coldplay and Radiohead.
She began playing open mic night in the Bay Area not knowing what would become of ordinary hobby. The more she played more people began to notice her which led to playing shows in coffee houses, restaurants, and music venues. In 3 years of playing shows every night of the week , driving back and forth from city to city, Geri’s hard work paid off – she was no longer invisible to the music scene and the local critics recognized her efforts with a pat on the back and encouragement.
With time Geri’s music became more than a hobby, it became a therapy for personal struggles as well as for the struggles of others. After receiving emails from people who found help and comfort in a song by her, Geri’s goal became simple: she wanted to heal with music.
Geri’s vocals have been described to “perfectly fit her music’s combination of the timeless and the contemporary ” and her guitar playing as “hypnotically precise finger-picking style turning heads in the crowd”. Her music is equal parts pleasure and pain – as riveting and haunting as it is emotional and uplifting.
The Plutoniates unique sound is hard to define. Although led by Ross Fale's mostly fingerstyle acustic guitar playing, the band has more of an alternative rock sound than one would expect. With Ryan Kolosovski on drums and Steve Bossler on bass, the rythm section continues to evolve to give the Plutoniates a groove all there own. Throw in Dave playing electric guitar, melodica, and even a theremin, and what you get is a very instrument-driven band.
Though their arrangments are complex, the Plutoniates have the ability to blend together to make it very accessible and catchy music. The reason why they have become one of the most popular and talked about bands in the area.
