Since 2012, THE GURU GURU has been dealing in deep express art rock. Think: a lead vocalist in a multicolored straitjacket, driven by feverish guitars and a convulsive rhythm section.
With audible enjoyment, the rules of indie-math-psycho-noise are rewritten, resulting in rebellious songs that at times slide in surprisingly smoothly. They get their dope from the same dealer where Queens of the Stone Age, Radiohead, The Mars Volta, SOULWAX, The Jesus Lizard & Andy Kaufman are regulars. The band cannot be pigeonholed.
Live, THE GURU GURU is a must-see. While energy gushes from the stage, frontman Tom The Bomb balances on the edge of a theatrical psychosis.
