Is it groovy? Catchy? A bit nasty? These are the foundational pillars of a Henry Banks song.
The eclectic songwriter from Monterey Bay, CA. combines funky textures reminicent of your favorite hidden gems from the 70’s with genre blending, experimental songwriting akin to artists such as Beck and Ween. Banks is a multi instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, keys, drums and any other instrument he can get his hands on. He often plays live shows with a looping machine and is known for his ability to write improvised songs right on the spot. In 2023, Banks released his first solo album “Pleasure Plate” which is a collection of avant guard home recordings filled with strange yet catchy songs covering a wide variety of topics including car theft and lizard people. His sophomore album “Lava Lamp” is set to release June 7th 2024. “Lava Lamp” is a deep dive into Bank’s love of Psychedelic Rock and Funk with an unmistakable west coast vibe. It’s like an amalgamation of 30 years of Garage, Jangle Pop, and the Ocean.
