It's hard to get recognized, because acapella tends to be seen as such a specialty. 'There are scores of groups with their level of talent around the world. 'Look, Pentatonix is great, and there's a lot to be said for good timing,' said Lambandrake. Hare, who mixed and mastered their album, Superhero, has also produced for today's best known all-vocal music group, Pentatonix, which rose to fame after the mass-exposure of winning T he Sing Off competition on television. The group's current line-up feels particularly coherent, which has led to a fruitful new relationship with Grammy-winning South Bay producer, Bill Hare. 'Someone who has trained as an actor-singer is usually not right for us,' he explains.Д®ven with the occasional solo turn, Lambandrake says that members of Paradox (and the personnel has changed significantly over the years) must be fully committed to being an element of a whole, rather than a star player. 'I'm always in ABC mode: Always Be Casting.

Lambandrake says that given the group's current semi-professional status (other than himself Г‚ВГўв‚¬'a one-time financial services professional with 'an incredibly supportive husband'Гўв‚¬' band members have full-time jobs), personnel has been in constant evolution. In addition to their signature song-weavings, Paradox showcases individual members' solos in rich settings of individual contemporary songs, including Cyndi Lauper's 'True Colors' and Adele's 'Hello.' 'We just wanted to channel all of that roller rink pop funk of the '70s,' says Lambandrake of the piece. Listeners will prick up their ears, attentively trying to identify the familiar Гўв‚¬'but transformedГўв‚¬' tunes that are combined in numbers like '24-Karat Money Girl Magic,' which interpolates the Bruno Mars tune referenced in its title with Michael Jackson's 'Rock With You,' Donna Summer's 'Bad Girls,' Kool & The Gang's 'Get Down On It' and Nelly's 'Ride Wit' Me.'

With Paradox they're more like intricate weavings that merge and divide strands of multiple melodies into fresh, sometimes surprising patterns. The band's unique musical calling card is what would commonly be termed 'mash-ups' of pop music. We're a band, not a chorus.' says Lambandrake, who founded Paradox in 2013, and prides himself on their ultra-precise arrangements in which each of the group's seven voices is utilized as an instrument. 'We're not what you might think of as acapella. 'The most important word in our name is band ,' says Fritz Lambandrake, the managing director of San Francisco's Paradox Voice Band.Д¬elebrating the release of its sleekly produced debut album, Superhero, with a performance and party this Saturday at the DADA Bar and Gallery near Union Square, the vocal ensemble is a far cry from your grandpa's barbershop quartet.
