Abe Vigoda

The Profile

Abe Vigoda is an American post-punk/noise-rock band from Los Angeles known for jagged, experimental songs often described as tropical or noisy.

Band named after the actor Abe Vigoda; Los Angeles-based post-punk/noise-rock group; active roughly 2004–2014.

Sid's DeBaser review (2009) praises Skeleton as an exotic, noisy take on post-punk — described as "tropical punk" and a kind of "rumba noise." The review mixes cultural critique (vacation consumerism) with vivid musical metaphors (Pixies without Kim, drunk Mexican with a blender). Overall the tone is enthusiastic and amused.
