About Me

"Hats off to the talented musical explorers of our town who are not content to let their rock merely roll. Ska, punk, and metal twist their way through this organic piece of multiple moods and textures. There's not a standard track on the album as it also finds a way to toy with funk, rap, reggae, jazz, and spacious ambience while the ghost of Zappa nods approvingly over their shoulders."- Charlie Martin, 91.7 KOOP"The music comes at you like toys built by some demented but ultra-skilled toy maker, switching fluently, often dramatically, between genres several times in the span of a single song. They create sonic wonders much like childhood fables: fantastic, thrilling, and a bit scary all at the same time. Metal, hip-hop, jazz: they're all molten alloys used for the creation of toy-bots programmed to rock you into submission so they can massage you into euphoria."- Eric Thompson, 88.1 KTXT Buy merch from Muchos Backflips! at www.zazzle.com/muchosbackflips

Sounds Like: "The sort of band I might have liked to have been in before I became old and stupid. Elaborate instrumentals, eclectic mix of interesting elements that flow through several sub-genres, nodding towards Zappa/Brand X with pinches of ska, reggae, augmented with a function of Doors and quasi-Grand Funk Railroad divided by neo-Ventures, assembled into a complex song structure that is strongly driving and warmly meandering, including touches of humor and ethereal FX and culminating in a giggling yet polite tribal frenzy."Much love to the fine radio stations that are playing Muchos Backflips!
