shambhala
Shambhala is an instrumental trio based out of the SF Bay area. The bands main componets are bass, drums and guitar. However, they also incorporate many other sounds than the core instruments they play live, such as Mark's beloved collection of random studio effects and Casio/Toy Pianos, or Eric's ethereal ambient guitar soundscapes. Josh plays an older Fender 69 Bass that gives their music a fat, huge, low end vibe... that stems from their influences like King Tubby or Bill Laswell. Classifying the style of music is rather difficult, it starts with Rock and has the aesthetic of instrumental Hip Hop and Dub.
