carolyn: drums & pete: vocals/guitar //
we've tried bass players and it has been a frustrating experience..so we are now officially a two piece to hell with the bass...it means we will be running a larger rig than before with the guitar handling 6 amps rather than 4. Let the sonic tuned motherfucker of doom entrench your soul in the chasm of despair..Amen!!!

Sounds Like
the four horsemen of the apocalypse coated in heavy cement trying to play instruments with hands of metal.....can you imagine that...well I can...it would be a beautiful cacophany of wonderous sounds accompanied by the sound of a mass congress of witchkin calling the elder gods back to their brethren. Alternatively, as recently described in a music mag, it sounds like we have more bottom end than J-Lo and Beyonce having an ass fight at a SunnO))) gig!!
Formed at the crossroads between 2006 and 2007. The programme of intent is based on a strong acknowledgement to the forces associated with the downtrodden. The name PombaGira comes from the Afro-Brazilian religion of Quimbanda. Within the confines of this religion for those socially marginalised, PombaGira's attributes are strength and protection. She is the wife/consort of Exu, a trickster spirit that has in the past been mistaken for the devil. She is the protectress of the downfallen, prostitutes and the weak. She commands obediance and is considered to have a fiery constitution. Because she 'serves with both hands', an adage describing her
flexible approach to how she treats humans, she is to be feared and revered.
If you treat her with respect she will potentially grant you what you wish, however, if the compact is made and then broken she will unleash a surge of destruction that will leave no-thing standing. It is this kaleidoscope of hidden depth and potential within the expression of the life world, here enfleshed, that is made manifest through the medium of sound. It is this thin veneer between the hidden and the seen, the fixity of a reality and the possibility for exploration into the sphere of the invisible that defines the inspiration for the band. The Crooked Path is the course upon which we tread, to the faint-hearted it is a journey that one should not take.
First LP is now out, it is available through this site and is also available through Shellshock distribution.
