LOS BANANAS
Sad and slow Russia's original. Occasional male and female vocalization and unusual approach. A mixture of ELECTRONICA/POST-ROCK/SLUDGE at its best.

Hi everyone! This is LOS BANANAS, a post-rock band from RUSSIA. We are 9 guys and and a girl playing melodic music for your ears' enjoyment. We've been around for about 10 years already, experimenting with various styles and genres from nu-metal-core to pop-music and clicks'n'cuts/IDM electronica, but now we concentrated on guitar-oriented post-rock mixed with electronica with a good deal of sludge when playing live. What distinguishes us from other bands is that we use accordeon, melodica, flute, tenor-sax, etc. and dig complicated structures and time-signatures. In 2005 we had a release of our double CD featuring two EPs: "Supplementary CD For Various Purposes" and "Los Bananas & Sasha Rastich" presented on SoundClick in its entirety. As to the still-heavy side of Los Bananas' music, it finds its reflection on the recent instrumental album entitled "Con il tempo che passa, ricoperta di polvere, la bellezza sfiorita rimane sempre immortale..." which was recorded live and released by INDIE-GO! in autumn, 2006.Band/artist history
WE LUST FOR WORLD DOMINATION!!!Have you performed in front of an audience?We play live considerably often. And we like it a lot. The problem is usually with the balance of all the instruments we use - they're too many but that's all right. We also use a noise generator to insert noises and distorted samples between songs.

Thanks for the kind words, still trying to get a big band together though. I think it would complement the sounds i've been creating so far to have other people adding to them.
I've just launched a Post-Rock forum community, hoping to get lots of people to join. Would there be anychance i could create a "Los Bananas" forum where folk could come discuss your music? If that's ok you could link my site and we could get more people involved in post rock!

Hi there, you posted on my soundclick a while back and i hadn't noticed.
my project "Poseidon" has undergone a name change and new material has been written, although i'm afraid it's nowhere close to your beautiful "supplementary manual for suicide" =(
thanks for the post anyway if you remember, check out my new soundclick and my website http://www.biblicalcatastrophe.co.uk
Hey, RUBOMJASS!!! Where the f*** have you been, I'v lost your motherf***ing e-mail address so give it to me and I'll tell you much about life of your f***ing old friend Smoll.
