The best kept secret in music

Green Lemon
It's been 4 years since playing the leaky garages and rickety tin shacks of their early days on the Oklahoma City countryside. Today, these five rowdy musicians can't stop packing venues in their current homebase town of Fort Collins, CO. Their music surrealistically fuses island, jam, acid jazz, funk and electronica with a stream of vocals flowing throughout that'll make your mouth water. This music is euphoric. It is no accident they've shared the stage with respected bands ranging from The Motet to Particle. There are hints of Pink Floyd, Ween, Jimi Hendrix and The Flaming Lips found within as the band is honing in on their own sound. And for such a small band, their self-titled debut album is exceptionally well produced. We're keeping an eye on Green Lemon as they have visionary and bold plans to play the Taj Mahal and eventually the moon!
