The New Guinea Pigs

We ARE The New Guinea Pigs... test in progress

About Me

We pride ourselves on sounding crazy, like early Ween if you will, bizarre, different.
Since we use a lot of weird sounds instead of playing instruments as intended we create something new for your ears.
David Bowie, The Kinks, and the Beatles Psychedelic stage, Pink Floyd influences us in a big way - this is NOT to say we sound anything like them.
Might be a little more like Devo meets the Who? Or Hendrix meets Matthew Sweet. Or Metallica meets Modest Mouse?, ya that's it. Maybe.
So it's all Experimental Rock... and we're the test animals. Hope we come out of this ok.
Make no mistake... We love the rich tones analog recording provides and full sound tubes make instead of what transisters and code result in. For us this is wishful thinking and making due with the crazy ass software we have on our PC's is what you get.
Get this... some people like our sounds. Sometimes WE like our sounds. But we LOVE what the MySpace Music community is all about and face it there is a ton of talent worth listening to out there. So please click on those who've added a comment or check out our firends sites and learn for yourself!
