Pnuma Trio: West Coast

Pnuma trio is so sick. they killed with Sts9 on new years. I would love to see these guys over and over!

this is great news, cant wait for the cd

Hey why not come back east for a bit. We haven't had any Pnuma since the were touring with Ryan from Signal Path. Also when they were touring with Ryan they destroyed everything. I dream for the Pnuma Quartet.

YEAH. EVERYONE JUST TAKE ROLLS AND GO TO PNUMA. If youre rolling the "beats" sound jsut so good, and everyone feels so good. Imagine if rolls or mollie didnt exist- bands like this wouldnt.

^^^oh no! imagine is pot and LSD didn't exist! the dead probably would've never existed, or phish, or the scene, or this website. dude, big deal, get over yourself. btw, Pnuma is nasty!

Come on Gjm when was the last time you were at a show in this scene, and by scene I mean jambands in general whether eletronic or not, and not have seen kids spun? It's at damn near every show and every festival. If you don't like it fine thats cool everyone has their own flavor. But to say that you need to be on drugs to like the music is absurd. People who look at this whole genere from and outsiders point of view think the bands are nothing but a noodeling and wankery. It's assholes like you AND the stupid wooks that have been bringing this scene down. Be a little more positive and if you don't want to see or hear it JUST DON'T GO!!! Phishr82 you are totaly right!

PS Pnuma is the shit live and Character is a great album that I listen to quite regularly.....both of which I do with out drugs, as do many people get over it!

The member of the Pnuma Trio on the left is wearing a t-shirt of himself. Check it out in the photo, the shit is hilarious!

I think that the term "jam band" is a term that was started to give a name to a sort of live music. but the definition has changed. it is very interpretive. there are millions of subsets. and justcause someone is "jamming" on something (im not going to even say an instrument cuz botwin doesnt play shit usually) but when you go to a pnuma show or an sts9 ITS ALL ABOUT THE ROLLS AND EX and im not saying that the dead werent about LSD and whatnot but i feel that our generationis all about "lets have a party" tongiht with whatevers in these pills (most likely meth, heroine, whatever), they actually arent gaining any insight or some kind of mind expansion from these drugs. when you go to a pnuma show the whole scene is fueld by and dominated by these shitty ass drugs- im not saying everyone, but the scene is all about rolling. you cant deny that shit

I think Pnuma is a little overrated, but hey, they are still good. They're show after STS9 in Atlanta is the best I have seen thus far, their was enough energy to blow the top off the Masquerade.

Glitchy brah!

what else are we not supposed 2 saY HERE? I think drugs do more than help STS9 do buisiness. those kids are all about the scene, scenesterisum and where its at according to the kids who are buyin into it. they stick to the script cause its sellin. if half the crowd at 9 tried to listen to one of their performances sober theyd wander off bored within 20min~ back to their video games...if you are like me and you enjoy bands that do the live jamtronic thing but dont like tripy boy bands like9 ~id highly recomend PNUMA or LOTUS ~the real fu'n shits~ search utube for the NEW DEAL even. all three of these bands are awsomely entertaining live~ even when u are sober. straight f'n art and that says alot for bands associated with the jam scene these days.

old school pnuma= on point new school pnuma= horrible.... alex and lane really talented.... ben is mediocore.... end of story

You said it Evilfunk. Now Everybody has an opinion, but JGM12 I dont see why you are trying to pin MDMA just on Pnuma. The ELECTRONIC scene in general likes its X definitly, but to say that Pnuma would not exist without it, could not be further from the truth. If you are smart you dont say "I think i will take this pill, no matter what is in it". This isnt the JV squad man. Know what you are using. Anyway enough of that bullshit. These guys are 3 of the most talented musicians on the scene and would be doing their thing regardless.I would go see them sober any day, and btw Botwin can play more instruments (electronic or other) than you seem to know.Get your facts straight.

gjm...when I'm dancing at STS9, Pnuma, Pretty Lights, I dont give a FUCK! about you and your opinion...Sometimes I get sick of Jambase because everyone seems to think their opinions are fact...If you dont like whats going on that fine but please shut the hell up.

lanes the shit, great style of drumming, yea and molly wasnt around till pnuma showed up....(is this kid serious?)

Pnuma!!! come back to the east! Character is alright...i personally am much more about the OLD Pnuma trio as opposed to this new laptop playin music. I will always prefer Lane to make his own beats instead of playing along with alex's laptop. Hopefully the upcoming album will be a collab of the 1st two. thatd be ill

skipped over so-cal f-f-f-f-fuck! its all good keep it crisp guys

I just can't believe they used crunk and Jamie Janover in the same sentence.

Another band scared to play LA. What up wit dat you Pnuma F'ers!!!!

Great bands, incredible venues, this is going to be an AMAZING weekend!

can i get some fucking pnuma in CO

Scared to play L.A.??? They just Ripped "Low End Theory" on Jan 14th and 16th ! Where were you ???

Please guys, come back east!

Pnuma is doing a PA set in Boulder, CO on Tuesday after STS9 ... along with Lazer Sword, Eskmo, and Welder, at the Root Underground right across the street from the Fox.

Going to be a rager!

I'm willing to bet if Jambase posted a 9/11 memorial article, their would poo flinging by the 6th comment.

there*

Widespread Panic? What??

sound tribe sector 9>sts9

soundtribe>tribe kids

Wharf Rat, you're hilarious. And so, so right.

#1 it is aswesome that that guy is wearing a shirt of himself.

#2 I only read this because i knew someone would start a fight and it would be funny.thanks guys.

#3 have a kick ass time all who attend.

YEA PANIC CONFIRMED ORANGE BEACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SWEET!!!! THERE IS SOME FUCKING NEWS FOR YOU JAMBASE. god damn i gotta be the only one giving a fuck, huh..........

sad, I am in Oregon and have to look forward to shows in Alabama........SOMEONE come out west

Just for the record that is Ice Cube on Alex's shirt. Now, back to my band is better than your band.

COME TO THE NORTHEAST!! SO many kids in philly want to rage with you guys.

i don't get it though... why is the title of the article about a certain "west coast" tour, when there are only like 5 dates, including kansas, virginia, nevada, and of course, a whopping 2 days at the same venue in california?

and i would go see pnuma for sure they killed with signal path reunited last year > i believe they were a 'quintet' for a few songs, sax and all.

Great trippy late night music,worth seeing

saw them at bisco this past year... awesome !

nothing more than a party band. they'll leave no lasting whatever on this earth.

this album is really good, I picked it up in Japan back in july and have been loving it ever since the production on it is soooo perfect its really a pleasure to listen to. I heard a lil word tho that that dude ben is working for def jam making beats and has been phoning in a lot of the recent shows which is why most Pnuma stuff going down is PA sets with just Alex and Lane.

pretty fucken bangin party band.

Hey Lakai, where did you hear that ben is makin beats for Def Jam ? just curious.

I really hope Pnuma Trio hits up Wakarusa this year. They were there two years ago and it was when they were touring with Ryan from Signal Path. That set was killer!! If you havn't downloaded it yet from archive you should. It's Pnuma Trio and Friends Waka 06.

WAKA WAKA WAKA PNUMA! Capitalism sucks sometimes dosnt it guys. The scene is only getting worse with all this competition, DAMN! New Years was insane, almost a little to much for me and ive been to some shows. THE ENERGY!

pnuma is illin. whateva. still havnt caught them in person, but i've DL'd some of their shows and they seem to be an extremely talented electronica band. jazz trained but move to dance music? saweet.
