Poppermost

Poppermost is an original "indie/retro/alternative/rock/pop" music band based in Las Vegas NV USA.

The free-wheelin' retro-rock band often draws comparisons to R.E.M., Oasis, Jet, and the Hives; and has been voted "one of Las Vegas' most promising bands" by the Las Vegas Weekly.

People also say that they sound like Beatles and Elvis Costello.

Poppermost is the creation of music director Alex Oliver (ASCAP), a singer / songwriter, acoustic and electric guitarist (both lead and rhythm), and pianist / synth player originally from Los Angeles, CA. There he spent the '90s as a solo performer and as a veteran of several pop/rock bands such as Junetown, Clover Club, and After Hours.

Roy Al Rendahl (ASCAP), the technical director, plays electric bass guitar, is the audio, video, and graphic art director (the band's logo and web page designer). The '80s saw him in bands such as The Barb Timm Band, Changes, and Sweetwater in his hometown of Winona, MN playing a wide range of genres including R&B, country rock, and pop rock. This is where Roy started M City Music and Art studio. The 90's took him to Fresno, CA doing audio and video recording, and changing the name of his studio to Trimordial Studio.

Their influences include: The Beatles, Rolling Stones, R.E.M., Buffalo Springfield, Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Elton John, Elvis Costello, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, Santana, U2, Aimee Mann, Maria McKee, Paul Simon, and Fleetwood Mac.
