Grex (http://www.grexsounds.com)
ROMCOM (http://kurtkotheimer.bandcamp.com/)
Tiny Mix Tapes calls Grex "essential current-and-future listening," a "near-seamless blend of modern jazz, contemporary structuralist composition, indie rock, and blues rock." Grex is not just "eclectic"--it synthesizes all of its influences into songs that are unique, fun, and endlessly surprising; fans of English prog rock (Henry Cow, Robert Wyatt), creative jazz (Ornette Coleman, Miles Davis), and the new wave of Bay Area noise rock (Deerhoof, tUnE-yArDs) will find plenty to enjoy in Grex's twisted, mighty music.
Grex will be joined by ROMCOM, an all-star conglomerate of West Coast and New York-based musicians, including bassist Kurt Kotheimer, saxophonist Matt Nelson, keyboardist Michael Coleman, and drummer Tim Bulkley. ROMCOM's music is an intricate, intelligent blend of jazz, modern improvisation, and rock/pop.
