Comedic funk-punks, Thumpasaurus, who were recently included in AV Club’s Year in Band Names roundup—have just released a new single/video, “Mental Karate.”
Thumpasauras’ wacky songs, mixed with their off-the-rails brand of comedy, have won over a cult-like following and helped the band establish quite a reputation locally. The quintet has opened for fellow cult acts including KNOWER and Vulfpeck, and are able to hold their own on stage with a sound that combines a 70s-influenced analog rhythm section with LA electronic music scene vibes.
