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
I dropped in to the Wonder Ballroom to interview Typhoon’s frontman, Kyle and grabbed some footage of their soundcheck. Kyle talks about the ever-expanding Typhoon lineup, how an illness informs his songwriting, how the band rehearses and works in small groups occasionally and says that he’s about to start work on, not one, but two [...]
Sometimes those brown padded mailers sneak past the flamethrower and in this case it’s a good thing. Clubfeet [who are new to me] hail from South Africa and now call Melbourne, Australia home. Their debut album has some pretty good moments but occasionally drops too easily into rote club grooves. The best tracks are [...]
At this First Thursday event in Portland, Or, held at the studio of FashionBuddha.com I came across this film by the artists Noah and Nathan Rice. The film was shown as part of their art opening “Doubts About My Faith in the Color of Emeralds” and was done in collaboration with Rory Magnus and Ben [...]
Disclaimer: I used a Flip for this and the sound came out a bit crunchy..
So I believe the naysayers are very wrong about this band. They seem to have come into their own having found the confidence in their songwriting and were clearly in control of a packed house last night. Two sell-out shows means [...]
Now, if I could only get over how cheezy the music is and stop wondering why Danger Mouse is involved in this project…
The image above is a screen grab from Andy Jenkins web site. Even if I didn’t know Andy, and I’d just surfed on over to this site, I would have stopped dead in my tracks simply because of the look and feel of the home page and also because of the wonderful crop of cultural [...]
From the Dave Roos PDXNOTPOP site:
I’m Dave Roos. This page, and the network around it is my PNCA senior thesis project. More importantly, it’s my attempt to provide a place where the music I love can become a little easier to find. On the surface, #pdxnotpop is intended to be a way to find local [...]
The only reason I was bummed I missed the Sasquatch Festival this year. I recommend their new album Heligoland, especially on vinyl with bonus remixes.
