Satchel Grande doesn't sound like an Omaha band.  The group is independent minded, no doubt, but not in the en vouge indie sense.  Indie like George Clinton used to be (and still is at times).  On the bands latest self released set , "Plus One", P-Funk and several other 70's / 80's flavored influences come pouring out.  From piano fueled pop-rock songs in the vein of Joe Jackson or Ben Folds to party grooves nodding to the Commodores and Kool & The Gang, funk can be a hypnotic form of music, and Satchel Grande definitly dabbles in seductive funk.  Ideally placed synthesizers, able harmonies, heavy thumbed bass and horn lines carry the original songs.  Satchel Grande's non-intimidating sound is worth checking out.  The arrangements are largely impressive, and the sounds and affects they get from their instruments which carry a vintage trait, are noteworthy.
