Beginning in the summer of 2007, guitarist Jared Sinclair, bassist Nick Fengler and drummer Alonso Martinez joined forces with vocal powerhouse Sammi Morelli to form The New Colors (Formerly Thieves). With each member bringing a different style and musical background, the songwriting magic was instant, and a true fusion of personalities.
By fall of 2007, The New Colors had begun to storm the Vancouver music scene by force, quickly winning first place in several Supernova Battle of the Bands – advancing as far as the national level competition within 4 months of their first live show. Building off this initial exposure, the group soon started playing higher profile shows including many performances at The Media Club, The Bourbon, The Blarney Stone, and The Roxy as well as a showcase at the coveted New Music West music conference in May 2008.
The classic rock guitar riffs, sophisticated, funky bass lines, modern, inventive rhythms and strong, memorable melodies give The New Colors a fresh and soulful approach to the Rock/Pop Genre which is truly unique. Where every style is fair game, The New Colors draw from blues, classic rock, funk, indie, even latin to create their signature sound. Mix that with a genuinely energetic and memorable live show and The New Colors will leave you craving more!
“The black and white clad rock/pop/funk outfit from Van City were in full effect when I got there, rocking their hearts out with the fun intensity of a band that not only likes to play music, but genuinely like to be in a band together… Lead singer Sammi Morelli has a voice that, if you caught the Shout Out Louds openers back in October of last year, would remind you of Aja Volkmann from the band Nico Vega. She possesses enough juice to seriously overpower the band and turn everything in to a Christina Aguilera fiasco, but restrains herself just enough so that vocals and music accompany each other perfectly. Lead guitarist Jared Sinclair and bassist Nick Fengler are as good as any band I’ve seen this festival, and drummer Alonso Martinez plays with an intensity that is awesome to watch.” – www.ronatron.net
“Sammi, Jared, Nick, and Alonso are all equally gifted musicians and performers. Regardless if a listener chooses to focus on the vocals, guitars, bass or drums, one will find that all are equally powerful and none overshadows the other. In this age of tick tock music manufactured in a computer it is extremely refreshing to hear a band that really plays.”- Losfer Words Records www.losferwordsrecords.com
