Pseudo Buddha

About Me

Hearing Pseudo Buddha’s music is kinda like taking a handful of the Mahavishnu Orchestra, a b-side from an old Grateful Dead bootleg, a slice of Pink Floyd, just enough Bitches Brew and a few crushed-up Demoral then throwing them all into a little ol’ sound blender and mixing things up. Formed by Bobdog Catlin (seen and heard playing guitar and sitar with Pigface, Psychic TV, Robert Rich, Test Dept., Evil Mothers) and Quinn the Nameless Eskimo (bass player with the Fearless Iranians From Hell and, when he was just a little boy, the Butthole Surfers) in San Antonio, Texas, Pseudo Buddha has become a revolving collective that can contain as few as three players or can become a thirteen piece orchestra. Depending on what day it is, you’ll hear processed clarinet, electrified sitar, an array of bizarre flutes and saxophones, m’biras, funny looking ringy things, strange bass undertonings, weird home-made instruments, squeeze toys, echo-drenched didgeridoos, almost unidentifiable guitar noises and some fairly wicked percussion banging; all performed in an improvisational setting. Who would of thought, straight out of "sleepyville" San Antonio, TX... This profile was edited with Thomas' myspace editor™ V2.5
