Notable Mention

The youth always generates buzz. In a generational effort to cite direct and local influences, West Palm's Surfer Blood has done just that in a generous shout-out to us. Well, us in a previous being known as Pygmy. Pygmy was the outfit we tried on in OUR youth and have since tailored it to what is now a tighter fitting Animal/Tropical plus various earmarked musings.

See the interview below as they chose Pygmy to be the reason they started playing music and accurately described the lead singer's diet of sugar and bacon.

Many thanks to Surfer Blood.

Sweat Stock Interview

This is an interview conducted by Christine Borges to our resurrecting guitarist, Kris Pabon, who is descending upon Miami today to play with us at Sweat Stock. This interview is all about how our communal commute through the east coast is shared and a coastal Easter is reenacted when one of us rises from the dead for a few performances. Christine Borges, who probably felt like Jim Caviezel in Frequency, spoke with Pabon via technologies not worth mentioning. Read the full article below.
