Power Animal

Keith Hampson dropped out of high school at the age of sixteen. With nothing else to do during school hours he began recording under the alias of Power Animal. Almost three years and two unreleased albums later a live band formed and grew in numbers, playing more or less adaptations of the recordings. In September of 2008 Power Animal played with Sleep Whale in their home town of Philadelphia and months later recorded an album at their house in Denton TX. With Joel and Bruce of Sleep Whale playing beautiful cello and violin parts over the “live band” version of Power Animal which consist of two drummers and four other members playing many different idiophones as well as every suitable instrument they could get their hands on other than guitar. The result is “People Songs” which is due out in March.
