The band formed in January 1993 when Garrett Dutton was performing at Boston bar, The Tam O’Shanter, which was where he met drummer, Jeffrey Clemens. They began working together as a duo, and were joined a few months later by bassist Jim Prescott. In 1994 they released their self-titled debut album on Okeh Records. Due to their song “Cold beverage” being played on MTV, the album almost went Gold.
On September 19th 1995, they released their follow-up album “Coast to Coast Motel”, which didn’t sell as much as the first album but it received much better critical acclaim. The band like so many other experienced a little bit of turmoil with each other, causing the band to go on an indefinite hiatus, but returned on October 28th 1997, with “Yeah, It’s That Easy”. It was this album that featured the single, “Stepping Stones”, which made it to number 30 on the U.S. Modern Rock chart. The album showcased a prominent soul influence.
Following the release of this album, the band embarked on a world tour but returned to Philadelphia in 1999 for the release of their fourth studio album “Philadelphonic” which was followed again by “Electric Mile” in 2001, which introduced hip-hop, funk, psychedelica, blues and soul. They performed as the house band for Comedy Central’s show Turn Ben Stein On, which ran from 1999-2001. In the summer of 2005, the band featured in an advertisement for the launch of Coca-Cola Zero, which featured the group’s own unique version of the noted Coca-Cola advertising song “I’d Like to Teach the World to Sing”.
Atmosphere is my most favorite band out there right now. It is a musical trio, with slug on the mic with ANT, and Mr. Dibbs. The rap music that these three create is incredible and hits very close to home.
The lyrics are always about "the struggle" and how to keep your head up high in a time when its not so easy to do so. Atmosphere has gained such a large following in the underground scene.
When asked to join major music labels Atmosphere has refused in order to avoid selling out and making their fans mad. Atmosphere is about the music and sending positive vibes rather than the money and the corruption it brings.
When on the mic, Slug kicks it out of the park. He is never off beat or forgetful of his lyrics. You can literally hear the joy and passion in his voice when he raps, which is usually something rare with rappers now a days.
Overall, Atmosphere is the most genuine artist out there. They have and always will be about the music which is what drives this trio to victory. Do not miss these guys live! They are the best thing that has happened to music!
G Love & Special Sauce is a very funkadelic mix of blues, rock and hip hop. G Love has a lot of soul in his music. The kind of music that never lets your booty quit shakin. The band plays as a 3 piece or 4 piece band. G plays lead guitar and sings, Houseman is on the drums and has just the right amount through every fill. Jim Prescott plays a stand up bass and will definitely give you great bass lines and a solo while he spins that big bass around. G has huge and great charisma that invites you into his eclectic sound. He will usually give you a great cover or two by the end of the show like The Beatles "Why Don't We Do It In The Road". They are great for big festivals and even better in dark clubs. You can tell they are in it for the music as opposed to fame or fortune. G Love and Special Sauce come highly recommended for a good time always!
