Sounds Likesounds like a rainbow trippin on shoelaces Myspace Backgrounds Myspace Backgrounds :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: P R E S S: "While it's difficult to put a label on such a diverse and eclectic mix of talent, their music is not something you go to listen to, it's something you go to interact with. Their sound is a mix between African drumming and folk, but the experience is more like that of Stomp and Blue Man Group." -The Rodi Connection ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: "The Back Pockets are an extremely hard band to introduce. If I had to label them, I’d say “interactive gypsy punk-folk.” They’re like the Merry Pranksters but more eclectic. They have the power to adapt to context, forming their performances in real time and pulling it off with a cheerful cheekiness that sucks the crowd into their trippy world of wide-eyed wonderment. Basically, The Merry Pranksters wish they were The Back Pockets. They play songs that make everyone want to bounce, stomp and carpe diem. They make you think anything can happen in an almost manic sort of way. It’s probably dangerous.
