juggernaut (jgr-nôt) n.

An overwhelming, advancing force that crushes or seems to crush everything in its path.

Karmic Juggernaut was formed in the autumn of 2004 with guitarist Randy Preston, former Universal Mind members Kevin Grossman (drums) and James McCaffrey (guitar), and mutual friend/bassist Marcus Morieko. Morieko left in late August '08 and was replaced by bass extraordinaire Andy Black, solidifying the Karmic lineup. Based on the premise of organic music without boundaries, they have spent the last five years creating their own unique sound; a tasty blend of all aspects of the musical palette. Combining elements of psychedelic and progressive rock, funk, jazz, blues, world music, and a constantly developing array of other influences, K-Juggs stands as an experiment into sonic experience.

The quartet has already shared the stage with acts such as moe., Keller Williams, Gongzilla, Perpetual Groove, Lotus, UMelt, and State Radio, while playing throughout the Northeast. In 2009, they were included in Relix Magazine's October issue, Comcast's Bands on Demand program, and on Keller's Cellar, Keller Williams' syndicated radio program. Andy Black is a graduate of UArts in Philadelphia, and the other three are currently attending colleges for music, at Berklee Music College in Boston, Monmouth University, and the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. The Juggernauts plan to continue their assault on the scene in 2009, and vow to spread their musical flavor to all parts of the globe. Calling all Karmanauts!
