The Botanists, a group of six musicians who have been critically acclaimed, are a sensation. Brainchild, saxophonist Frank Vitolo and Brainchild bring a mix of pop music styles, hip-hop, 90’s grunge and funk to the table. This allows them to transcend genre boundaries and push the boundaries of harmony. Venomous Nightshade is their debut album. It can be streamed on all major music streaming platforms. Recorded in a historic and haunted mansion by Robert Lang Studio, Eletrokitty Studio, and Eletrokitty Studio. Although Bad News Botanists is classified as Jazz, their album sows the seeds for millennial music. Their music has been compared to Miles Davis’s late years (Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way), as well as Weather Report. They received praise from the Seattle community after the release. Earshot Jazz Magazine nominated them for Alternative Jazz Group of the Year and NW Recording of the Year. Their second album, “Indignation”, will be released on October 9th. It captures today’s general feelings. This album is inspired by events of social injustice, destruction and silence of our voices, which creates a blanket of unifying consciousness. Our music should transport listeners back to the times of mass solidation, and remind them of that collective feeling. from www.badnewsbotanists.com
