"... $2,000 Puma’s music still possesses the intense propulsion of great rock ‘n’ roll." - The Weekly Volcano
$2,000 Puma is best described as spacey then rocking-effect-tripped-out-noisy guitar, groovy-funky-jazzy bass, explosively intricate jazzy and rocking drums, vocals with occasional vibrato application and the occasional over-layerings of synth and simple guitar melodies.
$2,000 Puma will melt your face... in a good way of course.
Thank you. Yes, all of my music is sample based. I sample myself playing little mini compositions on keyboard (all of my music has been recorded using one roland organ) and then arrange the bits and pieces together sort of puzzle like. I'll let you know if I play at the art gallery, and please include me in your house show! I would love to play. Do you have any idea when that might be?
hey yo. i've been listening to your demo...good stuff! about the 23rd @ the high dive, we actually don't even know the other bands who are playing before us. their names are the flying tortugas and electric oracle...their music doesn't mesh too well with ours, so if you guys just come around 10 then you'll be there just in time to check out our set. hope you can make it!
This show is going to be amazing. and RAW space is a sexy venue! definitely drinks before... they want us there at 6pm (probably to load gear before doors open).
fyi, it's still a $5 cover.
take a peep at the poster jon made and feel free to borrow it if you're posting any notices on the internets
hey! i'm super bummed i couldn't stick around for your set @ the comet tavern the other night. i heard you rocked it! and i also heard that crazy drunk lady did her fair share of sexually harrassing you, haha. i wanted to invite you guys to our show @ the high dive on november 23rd. we go on at 10. it would be great to have you guys there. let me know if you can make it! -meagan
Darrren guarantees this will be the best show at the Jive in the past couple years. Due to the high quality of the acts on the bill, the cover is actually $7.
