Pampelmoose is a music and MP3 web site covering the eclectic independent music scene. We stay clear of major labels and their artists to avoid having the Web Sheriff gallop through our offices. We are indie at heart so we support all things indie – in all its shapes and forms.
Dave walloped the bass strings and is a founding member of the highly influential, post-punk band, Gang of Four. With his business partner, Ned Failing, he started Pampelmoose in 2005. We love music and we love the way the internet leveled the playing field for all artists.
Josh Kneedler is a highly experienced interactive designer. He began working in online media in 1997 at the birth of the interactive world, a world we now take for granted, one that has become as common as the utilities we use at home. His skills consist of design, programming, and creative direction. It’s an eclectic mix, but one that is vital to pursuing new ventures where traditional broadcast media rules do not apply. Josh understands that music artists no longer need traditional record labels. A consumer in Japan may never have heard of our local Northwest music scene so local bands need a different way to promote their independently produced CDs. Josh has the necessary skills and experience that highlight innovation over imitation to tackle contemporary challenges in the world of interactive programming, design and creative marketing. Some of Josh’s work can be seen on his web site: http://www.joshkneedler.net

So I have to get a little, irritable thing off my chest. There we were, bands and musicians, sharing an amphitheatre with at least 20,000 people per day for 2 days, and not until Manu Chao hit the stage did I hear anyone speak out about the current incumbents at the White [...]
Friday was spent guiding the mobile Moosehome from one end of the Columbia Gorge outside Portland, backtracking the river and corner-cutting toward Quincy, WA, roughly one third of the way along it’s length to the site of The Gorge Amphitheatre, probably the best place to see a show in North America. It’s not like I’ve [...]
