The Jolly Llamas

Started in a small kitchen studio mixing fuzzy guitar rock, orchestra samples, the sounds of an ATARI 800 computer and a Nintendo Gameboy, Curious Quail has evolved into a five-piece band, abandoning samples in favor of real violin, a drummer that specializes in orchestral percussion and a powerful male / female vocal duo - though the Gameboy is still in full effect. Called 'The Bay Area's Next Big Hope' by Death and Taxes magazine, the band's bizarre take on modern rock is a must-hear with their latest epic, 'After The Lights Failed' (produced by Jon Devoto of The Matches) reaching the #2 spot on Nanobot Rock's "Best albums of 2014". They have performed all over the west coast and at festivals such as LIVE105's BFD, C2SV, 8BitLA's FreqFest and MAGFest's Rockage.
