Kundalini Junky
NYC underground songwriting where synth pulse meets guitar haze.
Emerging from 80s collaborations and evolving quietly, the project moves between dark pop, alt-rock atmosphere, and emotional voltage. Appearances are rare. The signal is steady.
The project reflects Vincze’s long-standing exploration of transformation, intensity, and survival recurring themes in his broader creative work.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Kundalini Junky is a long-running songwriting project born in New York’s underground scene.
Emerging from collaborations in the 1980s and evolving over time, the project blends dark pop, synth textures, and emotional intensity.
Performances were sporadic, recordings occasional but the current running through it has remained consistent: transformation, tension, and release.
The ’90s lineup briefly intersected with Garrett Sweeny (Monster Magnet), who played on several recordings and appeared live with Kundalini Junky at Druid’s in Hell’s Kitchen in 1996.
Garrett - Brenda’s younger brother - brought a dose of raw downtown edge into the room, and for a moment, the worlds overlapped.
