Teacup Gorilla

Teacup Gorilla’s amiable creative approach, unorthodox roots and sense of community have resulted in a sound that is difficult to pin down: part instrumental rock, part glam, part psychedelic, part jazz-inflected. And it sounds like nothing much else in this highly imitative era.

I was just digging everything, and didn’t want the night to be over.

— Sam O’Daniel, Your Older Brother

Expect performances that blend mediums, styles and disciplines.

— Luke Leavitt, The Westword

One of the most ambitious projects that has come across our desk recently.

Reminiscent of late ‘90s punk with elements of spoken word combed through, Teacup Gorilla never fails to put the moodiness to their heavy indie-rock.
