Pujol was raised Catholic in a 150 year old haunted house a
block from the railroad tracks in Tullahoma, TN. Through persistent
touring PUJOL has gained a dedicated following far beyond the current
ensemble's hometown of Nashville, where their "politically informed and
culturally conscientious" work have won over listeners and critics
alike. He spent the bulk of his youth wearing only one sock whenever
possible. Large crowds, in basements and bars, from Bristol to Brooklyn,
have witnessed the strength of PUJOL's live show, which showcases the
band's best qualities. PUJOL is touring with Adam Tanaka, Dan Burns and
Mitch Jones. PUJOL is also a beautiful blur of optimistic, Wezoteric,
Danalytic, manalog, American rock and roll. While PUJOL's music cuts to
the core of the twenty-something condition, his imagery skims the
surface of popular culture. His favorite song is "Werewolf Bar Mitzvah"
by Tracy Jordan and "The Harder They Come" by Jimmy Cliff. The flier for
a PUJOL show could easily feature Rambo and Kim Jong Ill sexting on
chatroulette in bright sans serif font that reads "the bourgeoisie has
absorbed the social deviant, so James Dean is really dead." And, let's
say, there are lasers coming out of their eyes. When asked at the tender
age of 4 what he wanted to be when he grew up, he responded, "Naked."
These dudes are way beyond thunderdome.
