When you walk down into a room you may see Portland’s Soul Brother Number One, Ural Thomas, at the table chuckling, telling stories and jokes, smoking, and espousing his personal humanist philosophy obtained from 82 years of unfathomable experiences. He’s often joined by either his generations of biological posterity or the adopted family that is his band The Pain. You may also find this infinitely magnetic personality ripping through a cover song at full volume or working out a new original with his loved ones.
Though Ural Thomas is universally recognized as one of the most exciting singers remaining from the original soul era, and an active musical institution for over sixty years, his band, all decades younger, are treated as equals. The Pain are no backing band – but rather a well-oiled tightly-knit musical aggregation that’s spent the last eight years with Thomas developing a unique sound of its own.
Despite the usual COVID-19 obstacles, Ural Thomas and The Pain finally completed and released their much-anticipated third album “Dancing Dimensions” in 2023. While exploring everything from sweet Chicago soul to airy West Coast psychedelia to Sly funk, their latest collection retains the distinctive sound the band organically developed over years of relentless work. https://linktr.ee/UralThomasAndThePain
The Fell Swoop pays homage to classic funk, soul, and rock n’ roll through a mix of original tunes and covers. Though they hail from all corners of the country, the band has called San Francisco home for the past 8 years.
