Bio

Boston based Coolie Pool is the eclectic duo of musicians Sandy Zaragoza and Carolyn Castellano. Coolie Pool was formed in 2007.The name, "Coolie Pool" is the brainchild of a 7 year old..... " COOOLLLIIIIEEEEE !!!"
Coolie Pool's music has been described as an electro-ambient-rock hybrid.
Portishead meets Beth Orton and Boards of Canada..Nina Wilson Apples and Cats Media 2008
Ambient Trance...BryanPlayground Boston
Castellano’s clarinet, trumpet and percussion playing combined with Zaragoza's signature ambient, melodic guitar lines are supported by underlying drum loops and steady bass grooves.
Sandy and Carolyn first met in Burlington, VT where they played together in the band Miss Bliss. Miss Bliss was one of the first and only all women's new wave/rock bands at the time. (Incidentally, as a tribute to the band-The Magic Hat Brewing Company named a beer after them-Miss Bliss Ale). The band moved to Boston, flirted with Capital Records over a demo deal and eventually changed its name to Augusta Furnace. Since then both Sandy and Carolyn have been active in the Boston music scene.
