LOOPestra: an orchestra of guitar loops
Despite what the multi layered sound might tell you, everything you hear from the Teddy Kumpel LOOPestra on stage is played live. With innovative use of looping technology and his vast experience mangling vintage and modern sounds Teddy effortlessly creates myriad textures that make you think there must be a whole slew of musicians hiding backstage. A veritable funkdafied psychedelic orchestra appearing as a rock trio!
"Hell is full of musical amateurs. Music is the brandy of the damned." - George Bernard Shaw
"From Pennsylvania hails a quartet without limitations to their purposes and without shame regarding norms and dogma within new rock." — Tarkus Magazine
The Red Masque is an original avant rock band from the Philadelphia area. Part art, part alchemy, the group's experimental songwriting style is both angular and eerie, accented by freeform space rock improvisations, intricate acoustics, dark atmospherics and chunky riffs. Unconventional and eccentric in musical form, the sophisticatedly sinister The Red Masque fuses together such disparate musical references as horror movie soundtracks, rock-in-opposition, progressive rock, experimental, zeuhl, heavy rock, gothic, psychedelia, space rock, and kraut rock.
The Red Masque is Brandon Lord Ross (bass, keys, echo theremin), Lynnette Shelley (vocals, lyrics, percussion), Jim Harris (drums), James Tunnicliffe (violin, viola), David Carle (guitars)
