SNMNMNM is a band that formed at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York, USA. While completing music degrees there, the band members got together to play outside of their studies in an alternative music band, performing several shows at Java Joe’s, a coffee shop directly adjacent to Eastman. Blending traditional brass instruments (like tuba, trombone, and trumpet) with electronics, the band self-released their first album and toured before relocating to Los Angeles in 2002. Media attention built as the band released an EP in 2002 and a full-length in 2003, continuing to tour behind the records. Their album, As Best As We Can reached #65 on the CMJ charts and was covered by the New York Times. Their newest album, Crawl Inside Your Head was released on September 18th, 2007.
For a very short time in Rochester, drummer Chris Vatalaro (another graduate of Eastman and original drummer for the band “Jerseyband”) played drums for SNMNMNM.|For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNMNMNM |
