| Bio of the Artist |
Poppermost is a freewheelin' indie pop music cartoon band based in Las Vegas, Nevada. They've been voted Best of Las Vegas 2007 by Las Vegas Review-Journal and Las Vegas Weekly's annual music issue listed them as one of "Our picks for the best bands." Poppermost has amassed numerous awards and accolades for their music and skills as seasoned musicians, songwriters, and performers. Suddenly, they are a trio of high-flying cartoon birds whose sole purpose is to "capture their ears, one song at a time." Hold on here! What happened?
The change happened just before Poppermost emerged from Trimordial studio with their third full-length album. Bitter Suite Swan Songs is a wide and rich musical palate where power pop, choirboy harmonies and orchestral passages rub shoulders with rock and folk music social commentary. The eclectic pop music diversity of Bitter Suite Swan Songs showcases some of the best Poppermost songs written to date. Like their debut album, the team of Alex Oliver and Roy Al Rendahl mans all switches from writing, arranging, and performing to recording and production. So, why not celebrate the new album with 6 new musicians, a 12-piece choir, some swag and a tour like other bands?
"A band isn't the only tool for promoting music; it's just the most obvious," says Alex Oliver, musical director for Poppermost. "We work hard, but believe in having fun in the process. That included deciding how to close the distance between our love for creating music and the necessity of marketing it. Mixing our love for music and classic 60s and 70s cartoons was the perfect way to make a break from doing things the 'normal way.' Now we can concentrate on the fun of 'catching their ears and eyes, one song at a time,' and leaving our fans, friends, and audience with smile."
Starting out as a duo on July 4, 2001, singer/ songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Alex Oliver joined forces with bassist and audio-graphics guru Roy Al Rendahl freed themselves from a garage covers band in order to perform original music. During the next 5 years, they turned in blistering live performances. They have released 2 full-length CDs (the mellow acoustic self-titled debut and the daredevil power pop of Absolutely Sonic) and numerous CD singles and extended-plays, which quickly became regional "must-haves" for flocks of indie pop music lovers. They also earned airplay globally on commercial and Internet radio while earning great reviews from the press and fans.
Poppermost is determined to win the ears of their fans as the band continues to increase their radio and Internet presence. As Jarret Keene of LV's CityLife says, "Can't stop Poppermost!" No matter where the journey takes them, or in what form, Poppermost is working to make their own significant mark on pop music history. |
