After more than 10 years, local favorites, Melodic Grooves/Fiasco are per­form­ing a one night only reunion show at The Sea­sons Performance Hall this Friday, Feb­ru­ary 8th.  Another blast from the past, Stone­fly, (featuring UPAS frontman Rusty Forgey) will be joining in on the festivities as well.  Piv­otal to Yakima’s music scene of the late 90′s, both of these groups played at numer­ous venues in town including  The Zone, and the Selah Civic Cen­ter. The band also founded the infamous 5 bands for $5, and were instru­men­tal in cre­at­ing a music scene that has only recently has re-emerged in the valley.

After play­ing The Sea­sons in late 2012, Grooves member and Selah native Aaron Daniel, decided to bring back the group consisting of him, Jeff Leonard and Shelby Cuyle for one night only per­for­mance. Daniel has kept himself busy the past year, play­ing sold out shows in Seat­tle and even play­ing over­seas. His act “Aaron Daniel One Man Banned” has been earning rave reviews for his use of vocal loop­ing. Daniel has supported acts such as Foo Fight­ers, Red Hot Chili Pep­pers, and The Voice final­ist and local favorite Vicci Martinez.

As well as Melodic Grooves/Fiasco, and Stone­fly, The True Spokes (formerally FloMotion) make their way back to Cen­tral Wash­ing­ton, after head­lin­ing last year’s Chi­nook Music Fes­ti­val. The founders of the annual Sum­mer Melt­down Festival last played The Sea­sons in 2011, when they were the after hours band for the Crooked Christ­mas Extrav­a­ganza. Be pre­pared to get your groove on as well as once they start­ing play­ing, it’s hard not to dance.
