The Poettes come from a long lineage of funky, folky hippy rock. In its first iteration, way back in the 1990s, the band was described as, “a cross between Captain Beefheart and The B-52s.” Part spoken word, part rock – n - roll. All fun! As founding member, Brother Marcus used to say, “It ain’t entertainment, it art!”
The genesis of The Poettes comes from original poetry, penned by founding band leader, Edgar Allen, aka Stan Heleva. And all the original band members contributed to their unique sound. After 20 years of hibernation and marinating, isn’t it time to hear the Poettes’ again?! Life is all about letting go and moving forward. After all, life is short, art is long!
Description of The Poettes' music:
With new and old members blending in art and rock, A Poettes' live experience is smart, theatrical, danceable and fun! Like a cross between the B-52s and The Pixies. The 7-member ensemble brings alt rock, edgy fold, bossa nova and straight up rock with a positive vibe, ready to launch the love bomb!
