A wild gem from the vault: 3 cuts from some years back, during the "electric" period, playing through amps and blowing up rehearsal rooms, rough and riffy :D 

ChUPACONChA is the hypnofunk duo formed by Juice (Giuliano Gius Cobelli, electric trumpet and synths) and Jordan (Giorgio Fausto Menossi, KOR:C:HO, drums). The band started in 2007 when the Italian musicians met in Barcelona after having briefly collaborated in Italy. Both jazz and hippie lovers, they mix improvised rock, funk, psychedelic and electronic music in wild sessions and concerts. www.chupaconcha.com
