El Pulpo
1999-2003

My role: Songwriter, Performer/Musician.

El Pulpo was a slightly kooky funk-rock band based in San Francisco that

musically aimed for somewhere between early Red Hot Chili Peppers and

early Talking Heads. I play guitar & do some singin'.

This batch of songs were recorded at Take Root Studios in San Francisco in 2003.

Soon after, Olive quit the band and that was that.

01 Pantalones En Fuego (music & lyrics by David Sophia Siegel & Olive Mitra)

02 The Sneaky (music & lyrics by Olive Mitra)

03 A Very Important Folk Song (written/improvised by David Sophia Siegel)

04 Little Yellow Jesus (music & lyrics by David Sophia Siegel & Olive Mitra)

05 Green Means Go (music & lyrics by David Sophia Siegel)

06 misc hidden track (led by Brian Gorman, with help from David & Olive)

This next batch was our shitty demo, recorded entirely live, I believe.

At some show or another.

When formed in 1999, El Pulpo had Scott Gagner on drums, but by the

time of these recordings Scott had moved on, and so the band consisted of

myself on guitar and vocals, Olive Mitra on bass and vocals, and Brian

Gorman on drums and occasional vocalizations.
