About Me


TREMO-FLEX9000 LIVE IN NYC!
..detuned guitar, a metal bucket, an MPC, accordeon, little plastic mikes, pocket trumpet, weird little guitar amps, VU meters and wooden side paneling...
tremoflex9000 was started by phil the tremolo king and flex unger . joined by the slackers mastermind vic ruggiero and singer franky they released their first EP in 2004. click on the cover to the left to download it for free!
the song 'Dream' floated around the internet, popping up on internet radio and podcasts all over the world. singer franky decided to pursue different musical interests and tremoflex9000 lay dormant for a while. then after phil the tremolo king's new orleans-based snoball studios miraculously survived hurricane katrina, he decided it was time to revive tremoflex9000. recording as a trio, with guest appearances by local new orleans musicians such as zydepunks accordeonist christian kuffner, tremoflex9000 just finished laying down the basic tracks for their first full length CD, tentatively called "america for sale". next stop was flex unger's newly opened clean and humble recording studio, deep in the heart of brooklyn, with a view of the statue of liberty. overdubs, back up vocals, pieces of metal clanging, were all added and mr. unger is currently cooking up the ultimate mixes! and pining longing and tear eyed for raven big noses how does he do it!
