Caddywhompus

June 30th at Project Lodge

What would someone with ADD and a strong passion for life sound like musically? I’m guessing a lot like the band Caddywhompus. Combining high energy noise/math rock music and strong passionate vocals, Caddywhompus never sticks with one type of sound. Instead, they decide to take people through a range of music from loud, raucous punk to minimalist introspection and they accomplish this all within one song after another. It will be amazing to see them do this live at the Project Lodge this Wednesday, June 30th.

Caddywhompus is made up of Chris Rehm and Sean Hart from New Orleans. They had just released a new album this year. Their new album, Remainder has such an immense feeling and energy to it. At times, it feels like that emotional power has a youthful drive that knows what it eventually wants the listener to feel but doesn’t quite know how it’s going to get him or her there. You become so caught up in their furious pace that when a song does finally slow down and you can catch your breath you realized how much fun it all had been.

Check out my interview of them on Dane101.
