".free-flowing improvisational tapestries into a crescendo after crescendo waterfall of sound. Yet, Borukhovich and Crairs' impenetrable rhythm section is no joke. Where Salvaggio's rapid-fire, intelligent phrasing and Grimes' sweet, flowing key work combine to catch the ear, Orooni's rhythm corner makes the Pumas pound the pavement." - Joseph Shipley
TELLURIDE DAILY PLANET:
Their sound is as beatnik as their name, and their moody, fluidly melodic playing is reminescent of the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Their music reminds me of the turn the Beatles took when they went 'transcendental' and started incorporating the Indian sitar into their songs. Cool, man."
--Sandy Beach
TELLURIDE WATCH:
This band, originally from Ohio and now settled in Fort Collins, a town on the verge of overtaking Boulder in its jamming prowess, also has a unique quality -- a strong female presence. They are no Lez Zeppelin and have only one woman in the band, but lead singer Gwen has an enormous impace on their sound. This by no means infers a girly presence, unless you would call Janis Joplin girly. Gwen's keyboard playing also lays down the rythmic fabric that holds the band together. Orooni adds a refreshing element to the familiar jamband sound."
-- Mark Steele
VAIL DAILY NEWS:
" A musically tight quartet from Colorado, they are a band who will lull a crowd into a false sense of security with a slowly building jam before exploding into noise and action to blow through the audience like a tornado"
