"Vaginas will drop, faces will melt." - Kayla

OFFICIAL BAND BIO

PRESS:

"...(Palo Verde) do...improv, proggy, stoner rock. Newman's drumming is front and center, while Kleinknecht locks into her groove with thick riffs, discordant angularity and the seeming ability to read her partner's mind when it comes to changes…If you didn't know…(Palo Verde) was an improv duo going into a show, you still might not know it when you leave. That's how tight they are…" TUCSON WEEKLY 12/20/07

"A lot of people probably don't realize...(Palo Verde) is all improv...Lauren K. Newman's drumming is...perfectly in synch with guitarist Terrica Kleinknecht...Newman implements intricate patterns in her lightning-quick, tom-heavy drumming that seem as though they have to have been planned as they intersect with the peaks of Kleinknecht's mid-range prog. This duo has all the dynamism of bands that spend months on their songs and spontaneity..." WILLAMETTE WEEK 05/09/2007

when the news gets sexual.

today at the gym i was watching the local news because i got there too late to watch oprah. there was a segment about the tropical storm in florida. they called the segment "taking a pounding," and it was in giant letters on the screen. i thought that was pretty profane for the news.
