We've gone on holiday by mistake...

About Me


Animal was formed in San Francisco in the summer of 2004. Living in New York City during most of the year, though returning to California during the summer months, Animal began playing shows in the fall of 2004. They have since played around Manhattan, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, and Oregon. In April 2005, Animal recorded their first full length at CaptureSound Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Now out on Un Fun Records, the record is over an hour of dancy, noisy, experimental music. In August of 2005, Animal recorded a four-song EP of improvised music, to be released this spring as a split with Archaeopteryx.
Animal is currently touring the West Coast with Archaeopteryx, driving a lot and smelling unusual.
*** Unfun Records has just released the re-mastered Animal LP!! ***
Record is available for purchase on unfunrecords.com, interpunk.com, cdbaby.com and towerrecords.com

NEW SPLIT EP NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE
