Album Notes

Camel Toe is South Florida's hottest and most original funk-rock trio. Their music is alive and kicking, always getting a crowd up and jammin' to a unique blend of rock, funk, and blues, with a touch of Latin percussion. This three-piece is tight!

Camel Toe's music is frequently compared to Frank Zappa, Primus, 70's funk, and Red Hot Chili Peppers. Their lyrics are spiked with zany and comical wit, making people smile wide while tappin' their toes to the beat.

Camel Toe's latest CD, PELADA, packs sixteen songs into a smokin' hot package that's receiving rave reviews from all who hear it. Released in September 2003, PELADA contains some of The Toe's funniest material to date, with three incredible guitar-driven instrumental songs rounding out the CD's track list.


Sales and Distribution:

Camel Toe has been selling their CDs on world-class websites since 1998. Their most recent CD, PELADA, is currently available at cdbaby.com, with sales quickly picking up as word begins to spread.


Editorial Reviews:

WNSU, Tim Stone, host of WNSU's nighttime local show
The funniest, most original, and tightest band I've seen in a long time!

Tune Up, New Music, by Anthony Scorsone
Camel Toe has managed to pull together a sound that is unique! Finally, a band that doesn't sound like ten others. If you like fun, upbeat, funk-rock, delivered by a tight trio of prankster musicians, you've gotta check them out.

New Times, Sound Check, by Brian Hyman
Surf This, a standout single on their self-titled debut CD, is a two-and-a-half minute surf-inspired romp that has JP's guitar echoing Dick Dale in his prime, Doug White spitting satirical lyrics about surfer's territorialism, and solid drum playing holding the slam-danceable, laugh-out-loud track together.


The Musicians:

JP Ferris' electric guitar rhythms lay the foundation for many of Camel Toe's get-up-and-dance tunes. JP's lead-guitar solos are blistering hot, and his whacked-out humor comes through loud and clear on the microphone.

Doug White holds down the low end with innovative bass lines, slappin' & poppin' and finger-funkin' his electric 4-string.

Dean Vellenga's drumming prowess anchors every Camel Toe song with perfectly placed drumbeats, fills and cymbal hits. Dean's formal education in music, and his extensive playing experience in bands, ensembles, and theater productions adds a creative spark to Camel Toe's on-going writing and performing.
