SPIRIT ANIMAL

Recent blog chatter and "recommended if you like" comparisons indicate the following: Spirit Animal sounds like 90's Red Hot Chili Peppers meeting LCD Soundsystem when, suddenly, both are karate chopped in the neck by Faith No More. The band's last release, a 7-inch for “I’m Around" out on Mecca Lecca Records, debuted on AOL's Spinner.com, has received radio play from KROQ's "Jonesy's Jukebox," and was accompanied by a month-long residency at NYC's Pianos. The video landed on popular blogs like You Aint No Picasso and was used in an HBO "How to Make It In America" promo. In 2010, Spirit Animal released their debut LP, "The Cost of Living," a unique and powerful blend of rock, psychedelia and dance. The album garnered similarly broad radio play and earned the band placements on shows like ABC's "Happy Endings" and FOX's "New Girl." On stage, Spirit Animal is at once manic and precise with a non-stop show full of big solos, wild sing-along moments and sweat. The group’s presence has landed them on the bill with Free Energy, Wallpaper, Dam-Funk, Wale, The Heavy and Fitz and the Tantrums. With mixing underway on their follow-up full length, Spiritia Animalia, Spirit Animal is poised to deliver the back-breaking rock and shit-kicking funk missing from the modern music landscape.
