    Pomplamoose is sort of awesome

    They are not prog, very pop, but they do a great job of making music.
    They have some great mashups and 're-mixes'.
    Their videos are what caught me.
    Very inventive techniques. Did they invent the technique?
    Probably not. But they execute very well
    Check out todays. Took two songs I really cannot stand, and made one pretty good one.
    And the video is cool.

    Yea, I have checked out a lot of their stuff on youtube, and they are unique. Never bought an album though. They are the background music for quite a few commercials on TV these days too.

    I've always liked these guys, too. Really enjoy their Christmas stuff. Has that cool, "do-it-yourself" kinda vibe.

    My favorite French word! I ask for it in French restaurants just to hear them say it! "Votre pamplamoose avec glace, monsieur!"

    I like these guys quite a bit, but don't own anything by them. They're as much a visual act as they are musical. I do have a crush on the girl.

    Yes, that is their weakneso. I can listen to them for just so long before the earworm grows teeth and I have to turn away.
    They have produced some Catchy commercial jingles .
