This month we decided to feature some creative minds in music instead of visual arts! We welcome, Llamas on the Loose, a five man band from right here in Austin, Texas. They have been keeping jazzy folkrock alive with their relaxing tunes since we met in August, 2016 when they generously said yes to playing at one of our art shows downtown. We have been jammin' to their feel-good tunes and vibin' to their positive company ever since. Our favorite part of this group is their casual seriousness. Their love for improve and relaxed personality combines nicely with their drive and passion to connect with other creative minds! Like us, many of you may ask, what's with the name Llamas on the Loose? (Because every band name has to have a backstory right?) Remember that news story where two llamas escaped and were being chased by cops? Those crazy llamas sparked some funky inspiration goodness, and so, they became Llamas on the Loose! Staying true to the original Llamas on the Loose youtube sensation, this band is both entertaining and will brighten even the cloudiest of days. Claiming the genre "breezy island prog funk" Llamas on the Loose has a sound that truly does take you to a place of palm trees and ocean waves. tropical, relaxing and fun are just a few words I would use to describe their easy-listening music. When asked to choose one word that described the band they all agreed on 'loose', which is fitting since it does make you relax and dance the night away. Meet the band:Kasey Thomas- Lead vocals & guitar Joey Mintel- Bass Dan Kuhn- Keyboard Sean St. Germain- Drums John Taylor- Bongos Their favorite part of being in a band is the friendships and connections they make with other individuals. It sounds corny, yes, but seeing someone having a good time because of something YOU create (whether that may be visual art or music or anything else) will always give you an enormous amount of pride and happiness. Success is very much about the cherishing the experiences and people you meet along the way. Llamas really care about getting to know their fans and that is one thing we both love about them. This year, Llamas on the Loose plan to complete their first album and connect with more people locally and nationally through their music and live performances. Whether it's improve, jam sessions or big venue shows, these Llamas are motivated to bring people together through creative experiences and open connections between musicians and fans. You can keep up with upcoming shows on their Facebook! Listen to their music on Soundcloud! Enjoy the awesome Llama music and be sure to see them live, you wont regret it! Happy April!
