Pengo

Real Name:
John Schoen, Joe Tunis, Jason Finkbeiner, Nuuj
Profile:
Pengo is a three-headed avant/drone/noise/psych hydra spawned in the toxic wasteland of Rochester New York. Many disparate strains of underground sounds mesh to form the perplexing and at times alienating music that Pengo performs. They seem to have tapped into the long standing outsider/freak vibe that has been a constant in Rochester since the late 60's (See: Armand Schaubroeck, Lydia Lunch, Coffee and Nod.) They have been described as sounding like the following, Sun Ra, AMM, Art Ensemble of Chicago, Throbbing Gristle, Couch(U.S.), Suicide, NNCK, Les Rallize De Nudes and even Rema Rema on couch syrup. While Pengo is flattered by these comparisons they feel that they simply sound like Pengo. The one constant in Pengo is change, you will never see two Pengo shows that are the same.
