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

Battles charging through a song…this one’s taken from 5 different stage angles as I couldn’t get happy with my position. It still captures their raw energy. Between them and The Mars Volta they could power a small city it seemed….

About twice a year I find myself at a random party overhearing the same conversation: “What happened to good song writing? What happened to the song?” It’s at that point names like Elvis Costello, Burt Bacharach, or Roy Orbison appear and I head back to the keg. I mean, how the hell [...]
The Mars Volta, live video from Sasquatch 2008 from Dave Allen
Earlier in the day The Mars Volta lead singer Cedric appeared very calm and mild-mannered when he agreed to be interviewed on video. About 4 hours later, as you’ll see in this video, he tore straight into the first song of the set like [...]

I ran into Cedric and Omar from The Mars Volta back stage. We caught up about the last time we spent time together in Los Angeles in 2005 doing a remix together of Gang of Four’s ‘To Hell With Poverty’ with Cedric laying down the vocals in some serious street Spanish way. Of course it [...]
