Album Notes

Chewy Puma is a band that started years ago. The trio features Joshua Lopez on guitar and vocals, Kaveh Rastegar on bass and vocals and Scott Seiver on drums and vocals. The three friends originally met in Denver in high school. Josh played in the band The Psychodelic Zombiez and Kaveh and Scott played in another band called Retrospect. The two bands shared bills together and the three musicians collaborated together in many different combinations. This is all very important information so... The three of them have continued to work together for years and are now living in LA.
