About Me


**Booking Inquiries: [email protected] (or via myspace message)**
Tereu Tereu makes noisy pop music. People say it sounds like this:
"Jagged chords salted with interludes of earnest, yearning melody... deceptively breezy trumpet figures with evocative vocals..."
--The Washington Post
"Catchy melodies, bouncing rhythm, and a hell of a live show."
--The Underrated Blog
"Tereu Tereu sprinted and flailed their way through a set that sounded like fourteen different bands and no other bands, all at the same time. I think that’s called originality."
--Patrol Magazine
"Coolly layered melodic drifts entranced by trumpet and emotion... delicacy amidst sharp, spot-on riffs."
--Brightest Young Things
"Tereu Tereu certainly hasn’t had any trouble making a name for itself in just under two years of existence."
--Washington City Paper
"[Tereu Tereu]'s infectious midtempo indie-pop hooks, strong bass lines and impressive trumpet-playing are highly conducive to toe-tapping."
--DCist
"With intricate, progressive-tinged pop, [Tereu Tereu] is more about quality than quantity, showing impressive innovation without the overeager or over-aggressive missteps of many an ambitious new band."
--The Washington Post Express
