Rebelskamp
June 17, 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Historic Brookdale Lodge and Mountain Music Productions present Rebelskamp on Saturday, June 17 from 7:00 to 10:00 pm.
Rebelskamp is a band from San Jose, CA that hit the music scene in 2011, when they decided to take the “Natasha’s Garage Sessions” (a weekly psychedelic improv jam-night held in a friend’s haunted Garage) to the main stages of San Jose, the Bay Area, and beyond. The core members have remained the same since inception, with a few minor changes through the years. The current Rebelskamp line-up consists of the 3 Huelsenkamp brothers – Jesse aka Gee Willikers (vocals/guitar), Jeremiah Lee aka Verse (bass guitar/background vocals/etc), and Justin (synth/samples/effects), Juan Maserati (keys), and features Kenny Bundy (sax), and Phil Zigs of Relapse (lead guitar).
Stylistically, their music has a genre of its own, because of its fluid nature. The vibe is known to fluctuate from Funk to Psychedelic Rock to Blues, and Soul, and the players pull from elements of Hip-Hop, Reggae Dub, and Jazz, managing to seamlessly blend moods, influences, and sounds into one. Rebelskamp is known to play off of the energy of the crowd, while conjuring new culminations and creating a sound to suit the environment, like chameleons of music.
Rebelskamp prides themselves on their impromptu and unwritten jam style, the core basis of their spontaneous songwriting, fueled by improvisation. Very much like Jazz players where one member starts a creative idea, with no script, the next one builds on that, and thus, songs are created out of thin air, like magic, without much discussion. The result is a beautiful, timeless sonic landscape, with a fresh vintage, funky, yet hard-hitting sound. With Gee Willikers’ high-pitched, vibrato-laden, falsetto voice lacing over slap-bass riffs and keyboard grooves, with solid drum-beats and spaced-out sound effects and textures, and signature sax, Rebelskamp has made a huge mark in their local scene, and is now poised to make even bigger moves.
