Poontang's 'Kokopelli'

Give you ears some lovin’
Controversially named Cambridgeshire based band Poontang released their album ‘Kokopelli’ in 2010, they have played alongside artists such as Bad Manners and The Ruts at Fordham Music Festival back in 2007. For this year’s ‘Live and Unsigned’ Poontang have qualified for the regional finals after their live performance in Ipswich at the Regent’s Theatre. If successful, the band will proceed down to London’s 02 Arena.
So what can you say about this quartet’s album? It’s pretty unique, the album is a fusion of many different tones well blended together and it’s a gritty piece with a true anchor to southern American rock with sweeps of blues and jazz.
 So how does one pin point Poontang’s tangy sound? You can’t, that’s the beauty of it! The ten track record holds such charm and warmth. It’s the truly original sound that appeals to the ears of many; the young, the old, the good, the bad and the ugly! Its fresh, not mass produced rock, crafted with sassy guitar riffs that stick with soulful lyrics on backdrop of toe-tapping beats. So if you’re looking for a new sound that is easy going yet gets you going give your ears some good old lovin’ and kick back with ‘Kokopelli’, go ahead throw on the cowboy hat and have a dance. You sure won’t be disappointed.
For fans of: Blues, Classic Rock and Swing.
