Band Bio

Passionfruit Hobo-Train Music: The Eclectic Bastards do not abuse kittens. We do not run over manatees with motorboats, nor do we condone excessive fishing with dynamite. We do, however, intend to rock everyone's body while we try to touch some sort of rock'n'roll enlightenment. Don't waste time trying to categorize us in some genre or another; we can play an acoustic set at a coffeshop or a screeching rock show in a downtown club. In effect, please listen to a few different tracks, as the styles are much different between songs, and see what YOU think. Anyway, the genre -> sub -> sub -> sub-genre thing is just pretty damn annoying and an unnecessary crutch for anyone who really knows music. N'est-ce pas?

We are a three piece, originally from North Carolina, with 8 years of playing, recording, and touring under our belts. We also have "annex" (various people that play with us a different times) that we love to have along for the ride. Recently transplanted to the west coast, Portland, OR. We are trying to build our connections here-we are beginning to book shows in the area and prepare to release our 2nd album, Malaka.
