Finally...A cd!

Without further ado, here are some details about March 11th's event.

We've worked and waited a long time for this occasion, so we're gonna make sure it's a good one! Should be quite a night! Exclamation!!

Free Streaming Fruition Track!

We decided to release another single! This one features Adam Galblum (White Water Ramble) on the fiddle. Holy shit! Take a listen! If you are really craving a download, comment or contact me and I'll hook it up!

Enjoy!

Fruition Returns to CHAOS(then parties at the Tabor!)

     This upcoming Wednesday night, Fruition will be doing an early evening performance (doors open at 7pm) at their stomping grounds, the one and only Chaos Parlour. Except it's not called Chaos anymore. It's been very simply renamed "the Parlour" after some management changes- but rest assured, that living room-type intimacy has not gone anywhere.

     The Parlour show will cost $6 at the door, and is a 21+ event.

But WAIT! There's more...

      We scheduled such an early show to make PLENTY of time for people to get over to the Mt. Tabor Theatre for Gavin Theory's FREE birthday Get Down! See?



     Did I mention that I'll be spinning some hip hop/electronica/dub at that party? Shameless self plug much?

Love - K

The BellBoys are alive! (i've got evidence)

I haven't talked to the bros in weeks! So it was refreshing to see all of their perdy faces while wasting away on facebook. Here's a couple keepers for ya.

big tings!

Well, the CD release show is a go! March 11th at the Mt. Tabor Theatre! The details will follow, but you can look forward to seeing Fruition and a very large handful of your favorite p-town groovers!

What fun would it be if I gave you all the information at once?


Today marks the 26th year of life for a very dear friend and contributor to many things Fruition, Will Whatevre. Will has been a very positive force in the development of the band and has helped us more than we could have ever asked. We just love him to freakin death!

Here's a random picture of us all looking somewhat serious - a rare occasion.


con mucho amor!

Alpaca! Live @ the Goodfoot Thursday Jan. 21st

The Goodfoot had some nice things to say about Alpaca and their upcoming show at the Goodfoot, which will feature Mimi and myself as singers and movers!

ALPACA! @ 9:00pm

Alpaca! is electronic/jazz/jam quartet whose original compositions and stellar interplay have built them a solid following of both head-nodders and dance lovers. Tonight they will be joined by members of Fruition for a special evening of music. $6

hear that? "Stellar interplay"! Can't wait. These boys are absolutely the bee's knees! We'll be doing another Variety show in march, featuring all members of BOTH bands! Silky.

orientation

Here it is, the Fruition Family blog. May this be a loudspeaker for both the deep roots and the ever-growing branches of our mighty little tree.

     Look here for all things related to your favorite Portland soul ramblers, Fruition. With so many bands, artists, movers and shakers connected to us, it only makes sense that we help spread the latest eye and ear candy as far and wide as possible.

     At last, February will see the long overdue release of our new album. A release date for the 10 song self-titled LP will be coming in the next week or so!

here's a treat for everyone before I go - a freeee downloadable version of Jay's song "Never Again", from the forthcoming album. Enjoy!
