The Discarnate Band is her channel from which to present songs, vocals/instrumentals, and the kindred musical entities she meets along the way. Tiffany sang her first solo show in NYC with Len Monachello in November 2004, and the band made its first appearance in Brooklyn at Sputnik in May 2005. The lineup on her upcoming record includes herself on vocals and keys, Mykol Fornasero, a powerhouse on upright bass, the flavorful Chauncey "pure sound" Yearwood on percussion, Totter Todd and members of Heavyweight Dub Champion on horns, and guest emcee Yah Supreme. Other influences range from punk-rock to hip-hop, dub and world styles.
*********************************Born in Columbia, Missouri, Tiffany Pfeiffer grew up in Omaha, Nebraska, and began singing in church at age 4. She played classical music all her life, studying violin, piano, and flute, and toured internationally with the Nebraska Children’s Chorus from ages 11-16. Early influences spanned from her grandparent’s farm in central Iowa and her family’s gospel singing group, to the warehouse shows and raves of the burgeoning Omaha music scene. She went on to study music and magazine journalism at Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where she co-founded blink., a Midwestern underground culture magazine when she was 18, and interned at Raygun, the LA music magazine known for renegade designer David Carson, in summer of 1999.After graduation in 2000, she and two friends drove to San Francisco, where she soon met the founders of FREE magazine and Visual-Attack Organization, then reputed producers of large-scale, collaborative art, fashion, and music events in the SF underground, as well as a free, pocket-sized magazine that distributed 40,000 issues monthly in the Bay Area. After two years as Editorial Director and resident astrologer, she flew to Brooklyn in February 2002, essentially to get a loft space and make music. A couple of months spent waiting tables and recording demos in Nashville and San Francisco were rewarded when a friend from SF brought her to see Dr. Israel play at The Stinger Club in Williamsburg. That fall, while she was performing in an off-Broadway show, Southgate, Doc showed up at the restaurant where she worked and was reintroduced to her by her roommate, an intern at his studio, Revolution Sound/Headgear, on the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s first EP.Through the same restaurant she met fellow Brooklyn musicians Len Monachello & Brandon Wilde, and after late night karaoke merged into jam sessions, “The Discarnate Band†was born in summer of 2003. Starting out with standards like Etta, Billie, Nina, and Jobim, Tiffany forayed into jazz & soul, and soon landed a last minute spot with Carlton J. Smith’s “Soulfully Sinatra†show at BB Kings. She sang “Come Fly With Meâ€, and the rest was history…Her Debut EP, "Amor Frio" produced by Brooklyn legend Dr. Israel will be officially released in 2008, with a single available through iTunes soon. Except standards and covers, all songs written by Tiffany Pfeiffer, ASCAP.
