Bumbles Bounce comes from the
unheard of by many, but loved by us, Antelope Valley. We basically started back in
2001 when Ryan bought a drumset and I attempted to beat the skins while we made up songs
like Alarm Clock (old school) and the Slow Song (Physical Challenge). Then one night
at Taco Bell, we bumped into Leo. Matt knew him from high school jazz band and we
quickly put him to work as our drummer, moving Matt back out on guitar. Things moved
much faster now, songs came like appetites and the Bumbles Bounce was complete. Now,
older and stronger but more or less the same maturity, we still keep it real and have fun
ultra amazing style.

Javier AKA Leo is the drummer. In the myths and
legends of Latin America he is known as the Chupagato. We discovered him in the jungles of
South America and attempted to tame him, unfortuneatly we were unsuccessful as he has the
strength of five gorillas. However, one afternoon as he was watching television from his
cell, he saw that monkey guy from the banana splits playing the drums and he demanded that
we bring him a drumset. Fearing our lives and the lives of our gatos we brought it to him
and at last it was music that tamed the savage beast. He also does Jiu Jitsu and likes
Dragonball Z and Star Wars. |
