Biography
Sex appeal, musical manipulation and devilish fun with a double shot of Rock and Roll is proving to be quite the cocktail for Phantasm. Since 2002 this Western New York quartet has raised the musical bar with their Avant-Garde instrumentation, colorful vocal work, and a high energy live show.
Phantasm deviates from the angst and teenage heartbreak that fills the airwaves, with sexuality and satire. Their raging riffs and swinging beats fuel their equally powerful messages of acceptance, open mindedness and adventure.
With the help of a few catalytic fans, the boys of Phantasm built their own DIY promotional workhorse. Utilizing their talents, they've branched out of their hometown, gaining regional respect and dots of national attention along the way.
Overall, the dynamic demented pop stylings of Phantasm refuse the chains of one genre. They are a band playing the music they want to hear, doing what they want to do, being who they want to be...unafraid to take chances, unafraid to go with or against the grain, depending on the moment.
Showmanship, dedication, and musicianship put Phantasm on stage with national acts such as:
- Andrew W.K.
- The Locust
- 10,000 Maniacs
- Fastball
- Hesperus
- Dog Fashion Disco
- Wolfpac
- Emok
- Bedouin Soundclash
- Rufio
