Биография

Originally The New Motherfuckers, Pizza! was among the seminal DIY bands in Los Angeles from 2006 to 2011. Operating out of a communal house in Echo Park, Geoff Geis, Alex Myrvold, Tyler Sabbag, Duncan Thum, and Rand Voorhies crafted a manically creative amalgamation of new wave and progressive rock and gained notoriety for energetic live performances at premiere underground venues such as Pehrspace, The Smell, Echo Curio, L’Keg, Zamakibo, and more. Members also participated in multiple other projects, including Big Whup, The Avant Garde Volkpenis, Deathskull and Her Rigormorts, Liars, Fol Chen, The Lottery, Walter Meego, Evan Voytas, Daphne and the Painted Lady, Hot Topic, and the LA Lottery League. Since disbanding, members of Pizza! have continued to collaborate in various forms, with Sabbag and Thum working extensively on film and television scores, and with all members contributing to the recording of Geis’ upcoming album under the name Soft Sailors. LA Record: “An honest comparison would be to the classic albums of the Mothers of Invention, not so much in style but in creativity, humor, and album structure.” Refinery29: “Pizza! sounds as if Why’s wily spoken-wordisms were put through an Austin-in-the-90s Gen X filter... with a penchant for deft hooks and a genuine pop sensibility [that] bursts with a weirdness that comes across like party music for dadaists stuck in a Trapper Keeper.”
