Anyone else heard of them/ like them? I love them.

Pomplamoose is made up of boyfriend and girlfriend Jack Conte and Nataly Dawn. They were made famous by their video songs on YouTube, however have now produced an album and are beginning to tour.







...and I LOVE this:

hey it's the viral Electro Harmonix duo again, at least that's where i've seen them the most. as spammy as some of their videos can be (depending on how you feel about non-stop product placement) it's cool to know they're trying to do something more than promote awesome effect pedals.

I wasn't aware of their video spammy-ness or product placement :S Their album was given to me by a friend of mine, and I liked it a lot so I looked them up and bam! I didn't know they were that much of an internet sensation.

Anyway yeah, I think they're pretty cool. The girl, Nataly Dawn, started off doing solo stuff before she collaborated with her boyfriend and her solo stuff is a lot less... annoying so to speak, if people tend to find them annoying.

But if anyone is into quirky little musical bits and pieces like these they should definitely check them out!

it's all good. they're top notch at what they do. the Beyonce cover clip is the one i'm most familiar with.

even if it is viral marketing - it's done right. the clip shows the products in actual practical use and do a great job of it. especially when most other effect company demos involve some has-been playing a few random riffs and licks on a guitar then mumbling about settings hehehe.

heck, more companies should spam this way hehehe

They remind me of Viva Voce in some apects of their music, and no not just because they're a male-female duo in a relationship. Good stuff.

I dig it. Im more of a fan of Conte by himself. Actually, Im more of a fan of staring at all his equipment and instruments in envy. I never realized that they did that Beyonce song.

^ That's pretty sweet, I'd never actually seen/ heard anything by Conte solo! Awesome stuff. And yeah I totally know what you mean re: the equipment jealousy.

Me too, I listened to him a while about a year and a half ago, but saw he did a cover of Feel Good INC by the Gorillaz a little earlier today and have been whoring it up ever sense.
