Bio:

The Twisted Melons are a rock trio, 3 brothers, big choruses, dazzling musicianship, brains in their heads and magic in their fingers.

The finest psychedelic-rock distilled into mind-bending, gut-quivering slabs of melodic astonishment, bittersweet and innovative, The Twisted Melons are hell-bent on ripping apart genres and nestling atop the ensuing wreckage, giggling in fits with splintered grooves and huge choruses for company.

Eclectic and accessible, mind-blowing and fun, friendly and furious, terrifying and lovable.

More than anything else, The Twisted Melons want everyone and everything to Be More Awesome.

Check your preconceptions at the door and let your brain, lungs and loins sizzle with delight.

You are a message to the world. Let's hear you.
