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

Birds & Batteries turned up in the Moose email inbox this week with two songs that seem to be works in progress. They are both interesting tracks but I picked Out In The Woods to post as it reminds me a little of early Brian Eno. They play Portland on June 21st at the Doug [...]
Grizzly Bear’s 2006 release Yellow House was an album that overtook the indie community like a slow moving tsunami. The warm, lush sound that emanated from within the songs was so enveloping that I could hardly let myself break free from its embrace for at least a year and a half. And I was obviously [...]
Since the departure of drummer Hisham Bharoocha, the Brooklyn-based group Black Dice have spent their last few releases incorporating programmed beats into their soupy mix of noise and artful experimentalism. In the studio, this can often come out smoothly with air bubbles of beauty rising up and popping free from their audio quagmire. In a [...]
Today started with Black Moth Super Rainbow before I had to dash over to the mainstage to see Grizzly Bear. Here’s a couple of Black Moth Super Rainbow pics – more video from today to follow soon.
