All those people who influence us along with, oh yeah, US! Maybe throw in some pissed off beachboys when they still had teeth... or mccartney when he still made music.
Well ’themumbles ’ have decided to kick the recording bus into gear and, with substantial upgrades in our studio equipment... mike berg remains, writing, singing and scrunching around on guitar, brian kirk has moved back to Atlanta so it will be a long distance love affair. Jon Panek (original mumble) has returned on bass... Peter Salvador is writing, playing guitar, singing and floating the boat when needed, Jim Dorschel is our new drummer. Tons of new material... we expect to have new product available soon. We’re considering releasing new music on a monthly basis (details forthcoming) As you can tell we are eclectic, retro-pop with a variety if flavors. Our music is always original and inventive. Have a listen to the files provided and judge for yourself. We remain totally independent and aggresively seek peace, pop and happiness... We do not worship at the ’burning-bush’ or pledge allegance to anything that creates fear, anger, or disrespect.
’themumbles’ enjoy life below the radar, spinning totally in a fog, saying what they want, the way they want to say it. A little rough around the edges and rather pleased about it.
While we keep working on the followup album, be sure to check out ’themumbles’ debut full length, "huh?" (copies en route soon) right HERE.
Hey Mumbles! We're rocking the Lion's Lair tonight (May 30) with Three Cheers Faraday and YOU. Ride your bike for cheap beer! If you bring your gear on your bikes, we'll be really impressed. Details here.
Yes! Mark gets home on Monday night! He will be all messed up on sleep for a week or two so the concert time will be perfect for him! :) Ameer is really going to try to make it too! I miss the old gang as well, can't wait to see you!
