“Project: Pimento is a true ensemble…
a great jazz/pop combo, real musicians with real chops with real instruments, behind a great looking singer whose voice sounds like a smile. They are tight. And fun. And essential listening for every 21st century playboy and playgirl.”
- Steven M. Martin
Filmmaker / Writer / Director, Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey
About Project: Pimento
A fixture on the Lounge/Exotica/ Tiki scene, Project: Pimento conjures up high-class, jet-set elegance with its sultry, theremin-led lounge vibe.
The San Francisco-based band brings its veritable retro-space-age-soundrack to life with the amazing theremin stylings of Dr. Robby Virus, sizzling vocals by Miss Lola Bombay (Lori Carsillo), and the irrepressible and irresistible drumming of Jimmy Boom (Phenomenauts, Slackers).
Adding to this intoxicating mix are Ube Ev on guitar, Fredo Barbado (Aggrolites, Tiger Army, The What Four) on upright bass and special featured guest, Fisherman on vibes.
Performing throughout the Bay Area and beyond, Project: Pimento’s appearances have included The Fillmore Jazz Festival, Bimbo’s 365 Club, The Bay Area EMMY Awards Ceremony, and many performances at the world’s most highly regarded tiki festival - Tiki Oasis.
Project: Pimento has produced two full-length albums, recorded several original songs for a short film series and received two nominations for the SF Weekly Music Awards.
In the words of the inimitable Steven M. Martin, Filmmaker, Writer, Director of Theremin: An Electronic Odyssey, “Project: Pimento is a true ensemble…a great jazz/pop combo, real musicians with real chops with real instruments, behind a great looking singer whose voice sounds like a smile. They are tight. And fun. And essential listening for every 21st century playboy and playgirl.”
