[email protected]: Kopi Kopenhagen, from the skreets of St.Pete/Tampa, FL, "is the best thing that ever happened to punk ...... and jazz ...... and blues, and son, and samba, and every other genre that the world has both heard and that Kopi plays." What happens when you mix NOFX style punk rock, South American and Japanese Music, jazz/blues/swing, rap, techno, early 20th century American classics and more? Kopi Kopenhagen desu yo.Kopi's new album, "Ashita Manana; Um Extrangeiro no Japao" adheres to the new-school punk rock of Kopi's youth while provoking the image of sipping caipirinas on a Brazilian beach at the same time. No one thought it possible. Music lovers and musicians alike would be hard-pressed to dislike this Pandora’s box of styles, as well as hard-up to miss the chance to see him live (touring often in the USA, Colombia, Japan, Brazil, and more). Kopi prefers living/gigging in Japan and visiting his native Florida once a year, always playing a show or two while visiting.Check out some of Kopi's other work and/or bands he's been in @

"Another Revere page"
"A band Kopi co-founded w/ Joe Loffredo in college"Kopi Kopenhagen just visited the Tampa Bay area after living in Japan and is now returning to Japan to find drummers, bassists, guitarists, all latin percussion players, trumpet players, etc. If you or your boys can play punk rock and/or latin, or are open to learning new styles, email
[email protected]; the machine is rolling at full speed and gigging is right around the corner for the album that is taking punk rock on a whole new uncharted direction. The material is written, but Kopi is all about making new material w/ a band as well. Think "open mindedness, skill, progress, and pioneering new styles."While music is an undeniable influence in the life of Kopi Kopenhagen, this is not to say that he doesn’t plan to change the face of the earth in other ways, ranging from changing peoples.. ways of thinking to helping cultures monetarily. It’s merely a coincidence that his style is this sick. While touring the world Kopi Kopenhagen has accumulated many languages for use in music as well as world affairs, and there seems to be no end to the possibilities for him linking people and bands around the globe. At this point the word revival is almost synonymous with Kopi Kopenhagen. He is the essence of broadening peoples.. views and hence opening doors for the human race, his lyrics reverberating in ones.. head. It’s as if his lyrics are directions for increasing ones.. potential. Just as a flock of birds synergize to ease flight, the essence of Kopi Kopenhagen..s work permeates the lives of his audiences.When an idea’s time has come, it is readily recognized by all, and then there came Kopi Kopenhagen. He is your neighbor, your co-worker, everyone..s hero, and the man serving you the sickest punk rock of all time. Don’t miss this ish son!Here is a video made by my friends while I was staying w/ them in Bogota, Colombia; some funny s***:
