About Me

Take one part pop sensibility, mix in generous amounts of punk 'DIY' spirit, add a dose of attitude and you have the ingredients for one of L.A.'s hottest bands, THE CONDORS. Featuring vocalist/guitarist Pat (Pooch) DiPuccio, drummer Jay Nowac, bassist Dave Soyars & guitarist Sandip Dasgupta. THE CONDORS have built a reputation for delivering high-energy rock & roll to the faithful.THE CONDORS have been getting some early airplay of their song Don't Want A Girl Who's Been With Jack on several radio stations in New York, New Jersey, South Carolina, Arizona and their home town Los Angeles, CA on KROQ 106.7 fm and KXLU 88.9 fm.Pooch, of FLIPSIDE Fanzine fame, and formerly in L.A.'s legendary Blow Up, has several solo releases and movie soundtracks to his credit. Before forming THE CONDORS with Pooch, Jay pounded the skins for the bands The Longnecks and Big Wow. New additions Dave Soyars & Sandip Dasgupta bring experience and taste, along with strong backing vocals, making them a great addition to the band. Their combination of instrumental prowess and tough, gritty vocals help give THE CONDORS a dynamic live sound.The band is in the midst of playing a series of live dates throughout the Western U.S. and has released their ctitically acclaimed debut CD, "TALES OF DRUNKENNESS AND CRUELTY," on Vital Gesture Records, produced by Tony Fate (of The Bellrays) and engineered by Steve Refling (Cockeyed Ghost/Davie Allan and the Arrows). They also contributed a live cut to the Orange Spot Sessions Vol. 3 (Orange Peel Records), and placed studio tracks on the International Pop Overthrow compilations Volumes 7 and 8 on Not Lame Records. They have songs on WXXE's "This is Rock 'n Roll Radio Volume 2" CD on JAM Records, and the Glamarama compilation on Rue 442eme in France.
