    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

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.
