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

Friends, I’m here to tell you, this is your [...]
I am so happy that Pomplamoose exists. Beyond validating my mangling of the French word for grapefruit, Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn have what I suspect is a more bastardized version than mine and a great cover of Single Ladies by Beyoncé in which they can’t be bothered to sing the bridge because the lyrics [...]
The third studio album by Thao Nguyen – and her second with backing band, The Get Down Stay Down – is likely to be the one to finally push this distinctive singer into the consciousness of the mainstream. Not that her talent doesn’t deserve recognition, but rather, that the trends of the marketplace have finally [...]

The Marshmallow Ghosts and their new single “Shrieks” 7-inch is the result of a special Halloween side project of members of Black Moth Super Rainbow, the Appleseed Cast, Casket Girls, and Dreamend. The limited and handnumbered single will come as a horrifying swirly picture disk sheathed in a glow in the dark sleeve of madness [...]
Monsters Of Folk – Wednesday, October 14th @ Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall
