DOWNLOAD MP3: March of the Grasshoppers
The Vulturines are a rock band from Portland, Oregon. Their sound: dynamic, gritty, groovy, spacey, hyper, pleasant, dark. A parade of Americana, freaked out and traditional. Moves like rock and roll should, ready for the party, or the martyr. All hail the third culture kids!
Songwriters Jennifer Saez and Corbin Supak have played music together since 1998 in Austin, Texas (as "Vidi Vitties", two 7"s on the Peek-a-Boo label and full-length CD on MotherWest, NYC). Jennifer was raised all over the world by Spanish-speaking parents, spending time in New Orleans, Saudi Arabia, Columbia and Washington DC. She was studying the blues in Austin when she met Corbin, a fourth generation Austinite, and son of a school band director. He takes influence from the full range of Texas ethnicities and their music, being descended from Czech tuba players, and Mexican balladeers. Now married, expecting a baby daughter, and living in Portland since 2002, The Vulturines are their second major band.
