BIO
10 lb. Libido (Ten Pound Libido) was a group of musicians and friends from the Seattle area who's core members had been playing together for six years. 10 lb. Libido served up Seattle (and the world through the web) a tasty blend of rock, funk, swank, and nougat.
Musically directed by Ryan Newman, Ten Pound Libido's style was to play many styles of music, yet still maintain the band's own personality. The band has over 2 hours of original music from which to jam on. They are also known to play off the wall covers and off the cuff improvised music on occasion, though they are by no means a cover band.
10 lb. Libido has played many house parties, select bars, and clubs in and around Seattle, Washington. The band has also played in Spokane and has been on two public access television programs. Their debut EP has sold over 300 copiess with almost no promotion since it's very limited release (CDbaby.com and shows) in Feburary 2005.
A full album was three quarters complete when the drummer quit the band. The band dissolved shorthly thereafter.
Their first release got this glowing review from Elizabeth Benavidez at Artzynoise.com:
"Self defined jam band 10 LB. Libido’s 4 track ep is great for people who like musically diverse bands. This seems like the ideal Seattle Festival band with it’s blend of funk and jazz. I can think of a few bands trying this style but none that are pulling it off as well as 10 Lb. Libido. Strong vocals and musicianship makes this CD something that a large group of people can listen to and everyone will be satisfied. There really isn’t a standout track for me as I enjoyed all the songs. It’s the kind of music you can get lost in and just feel good listening to."
10 lb. Libido sets up the groove, then knocks your socks off!
