A swathe of black, wrapped in shadow. Can it be? The hair of the left hand itself, borne on the lips and skewed minds of four individuals singular in purpose. Behold! The Sinister Moustache.
"Never boring or predictable is what makes Sinister Moustache so much fun to listen to. Hypnotic with out of this world melodic thought passages make Songs From The Super-Sargasso Sea just an amazing record. Peculiar? Absolutely. These guys are down right brilliant." -SEAOFTRANQUILTY.COM
"Their style of confrontational, technical, mostly instrumental art-metal is just about the opposite of commercial." -Connect Magazine
"Each song is like a piece of avant-garde classical music they've translated into their own language...there is rarely repetition, rarely a time signature or a tempo that doesn't get flipped at some point, and rarely does Sinister Moustache give their listeners longer than a moment to relax into it. " -Murmur Magazine
Awesome show last nite! Sorry I space cadeted on my fav song in my drunken stupor. PostScript-What's up with all these male-member bands being female & 100 something? : P
A fine job last night lads--as always. I appreciate that you never play too long and bludgeon your audience in a coma--a fairly rare trait for most bands...
