This dynamic three piece from Spokane, Washington serves up a bracing and fresh musical stew. With surreal soundscapes, punching rhythms, haunting and pointed lyrics, from pop, rock, funk, jazz, fusion, ska and many other styles, Jupiter Effect is finding a sound different from anything that currently exsists. Tight vocal harmonies, inspiring musical change ups and a love for many different musical influences make Jupiter Effect a band worth checking out. With two songs on a movie soundtrack (the movie is called Whacked starring Carmen Electra, showing on HBO and Cinemax.) Jupiter Effect has also received regular airplay on several Spokane radio stations, including 105.7FM The Peak, 103.1FM the Mix, Rock 94.5FM.
Jupiter Effect consists of Dan McElfish, vocals, guitar, keyboards. Derek Neu, drums, vocals and Armando Arguello bass, vocals. After forming a band called Longview Dan and Derek decided to start the Jupiter Effect after finding Armando (formerly from Old Tale). The three instantly clicked. This band has a sound all their own. The trio has been playing area festivals and clubs in the Spokane Washington and surrounding areas.
