Espresso
Espresso sticks out like a beautiful sore thumb in the ever monotonous music scene in Los Angeles. Binding together aspects of funk and punk music, Espresso provides nothing but raw energy and pure fun. Grooves are never shortcoming, thus the urge to dance takes control of the body, propelling the crowd together to form a sea of unity in motion. Members Colin Martin, Dashel Dupuy, Alex Gutierrez-Kovner, and newly added Ardem Gourdikian come together to form the band. Each one providing insane musicianship and presence to the music that will make you think, smile, and get aroused. With years of playing, touring, and recording under their belt, they’ve proven their dedication and relevance. Seeing them live is a life changing experience that one is lucky to get. Completely self-made, Espresso is ready to take themselves and their audience to the next level. Their influences include Talking Heads, The Doors, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime, and Funkadelic, diversifying their style, bringing out a Punkadelic Sex Funk sound.
