Jet Echo

About Me

.. Straight out of the land of concrete and Kimchi comes a band that sounds like the bullet train derailing and everybody dancing around the flames. Al Hell (NZ) bass/gat and Ripley (Rocktapus) Torres(US)percussion, fire servos at the sun as they set their sights on the sound barrier... ....Live at DGBD 22 July.. .
.....Smashing guitar at DGBD July 22.. ..This is what John Remond of "The Korea Times' had say about the band... "Jet Echo, a bass and drum duo. Al (bass) and Ripley (drums) have been performing on the local and recently Japanese live circuit for a few years. Technically, a band Jet Echo are more of a sonic soundscape performance. If Syd Barrett had been born 30 years later I imagine that this is the kind of band he would have formed. Ripley's multi layered drum rhythms (think very early Floyd songs like the climax to" Set The controls For The Heart of The Sun ") and Al's distorted bass guitar provide a menacing sonic backdrop for some highly textured vocals" (February 27, 2007 , The Korea Times).. .......Drumset distruction at Funky Funky June 17...........
