Improvisatory but not esoteric, virtuosic yet unpretentious, Quintopus mixes up its own electro-pop futurism out of a little jazz, a little rock, a splash of alternative indie pop, and a good old-fashioned sense of adventure. The band was formed in Rochester, NY in 2009 by drummer Chris Teal and guitarist Mike Frederick has released three albums on ears&eyes Records including "Voyage to Ornoc", April Showers", and "Prehistoric Beach".
