Pengo

Bio

Legendary, highly volatile, psych-primitive unit from the autumnal climate of upstate New York. Fondling the same clammy flesh as Sunburned Hand of The Man and No Neck Blues Band, this band of John Schoen, Jason Finkbeiner, Nuuj and Joe Tunis marry fucked-up turntable sound with acoustic (broken folk?) instrumentation, tapes and voices to dazzling effect.

Members
Jason Finkbeiner - guitar     Nuuj - synthesizer     John Schoen - floorbass, saxophone, vocals, tapes     Joe Tunis - drums, guitar
