From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Animal is an experimental music group from San Francisco, currently living in New York City.

About Animal:

"We play a free form style of instrumental rock music. We draw influence from numerous bands which we think have made innovative contributions to independent music and from a commitment to musical exploration. Our music moves through different spaces and different faces. While we do compose songs, our approach to live performance has been largely improvisational. We like music that dances with itself and when people dance too."

Animal was formed in San Francisco in the summer of 2004. Living in New York City during most of the year, though returning to California during the summer months, Animal began playing shows in the fall of 2004. They have since played around Manhattan, Brooklyn, San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, and Oregon. In April 2005, Animal recorded their first full length at CaptureSound Studios in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Now out on Un Fun Records, the record is over an hour of dancy, noisy, experimental music. In August of 2005, Animal recorded an EP in San Francisco at the Hamel Collective. With four songs of improvised music, the EP in San Francisco pushed Animal's sound further out, extending their work from the first record. Animal is currently playing shows in New York and working on setting up a west coast summer tour with Birthday Boyz.
