KLUM

New Album Coming Soon!!!

About Me

KLUM is an indie rock band comprised of six members that not only ride the lines of experimental but ride trolley’s too. Klum is from a small town called Monrovia located in So. California, a quaint little town that is perched up along a hill, it has a beautiful crack in the mountain that lets the breeze come through all day and a fire station in the center that has never rang a bell.. This band has nothing to complain about but somehow they find a way. It’s truly beautiful. Their sound is bigger than the town itself and small enough to dress your dog with it.It’s as sad as the Carpenters and as uplifting as a bad Rocky score. KLUM is most commonly compared to Sigur Ros, The Arcade Fire, Radiohead and Animal Collective


"One of the strongest debuts of 2006."

-Aarik Danielsen, Silent Uproar

"They've got enough talent to border on overwhelming."

-The University of Riverside Highlander

"Sounds similar to an Arcade Fire live show (always a good thing!)"

-John Singer, www.SoMinty.comI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4Check out the Trailer to "ill Square". A movie that Joe and Aaron have roles in and was written and directed by Brock's brother Edgardo Floresill Square Film Trailer
