Peeesseye and Talibam!

Peeesseye and Talibam! are two of the most independent and unique bands to emerge in the past decade. As such, they also happen to share a common history. Each group coalesced in the experimental improv scene of New York City in 2002-2003 and has gone on to create their own highly individual identities, retaining the exploratory ideals of improvisation, dispensing with what they perceived to be the rigidity of avant type casting, and exploding categories by combining seemingly disparate and contradictory modes of music making and performance. At a time when most culture sticks to conservative niche opportunities, Peeesseye's gothic junk-folk expressionism and Talibam!'s Sun Ra meets the Stooges energy music both betray their shared interest in expansion, exploration, and sheer unpredictability.
