Influences
Psychedelia, and mind bending improvs, and plenty of damn fun!!! For band influences, it goes as follows...Umphrey's McGee, Widspread Panic, Frank Zappa, Led Zeppelin, moe., Jack Johnson, but most of all the absence of all problems in life while we play, and of course the fanz, we love you!!!!
Sounds Like
A lot of fun...one second it's straight rock, then to reggae, then they'll funk it out, then maybe a little metal, then straight spaced out with some tight harmonies, throw in some face melting leads and that's just one song from "The Foolz". They might switch spots on stage throughout the night, they might not, they might do some "Bluesgrassy" stuff, you just never know...think Umphrey's Mcgee... moe....meets an Eddie Vedder style voicing...add a shake of straight fun...welcome to The Wandering Foolz family.
TWF work very hard at being true to the jam. In the regards that they love to improv on the spot right on stage, be it in a middle of a song they play all the time or out of nowhere composing a new piece out of nothing. They strive to bring different elements to every song that they play. One song might have reggae sections that switch up with heavier sounds then to bluegrass, some techno and maybe a little metal in there, and that would be just one song. TWF loves to try to push the envolope, and you will be able to see that very clearly at a Foolz show. First and foremost TWF are about having fun and keeping The Foolz Family together. For the last 6 years TWF has made some great friends and met plenty of great people and the time keeps going by thus the Family grows larger. Come join The Wandering Foolz on there exploration of the musical frontiers that are just waiting to be uncovered. The Wandering Foolz are proud to be part of Organik Entertainment (www.organikentertainment.org) a great family style of organization and great friends when we work together the end result is a a great time. There is nothing quite like Organik.
