About Poppermost

Poppermost is a 60's & 70's style "new-retro" alternative pop/rock music band based in Las Vegas NV USA, the "Entertainment, Wedding, and Trade Show/Convention Capital of the World."

What started off as a way for two Las Vegas musicians to make a living as a cover band ended up as Poppermost, an alternative pop/rock band whose original music speaks volumes of past heroes, while pointing to the future of pop/rock. Poppermost is a 60's & 70's-style alternative pop/rock band based in Las Vegas NV USA that was formed in July 2001 by singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Alex Oliver, along with bassist Roy Al Rendahl, who also provides the audio and visual artistry for the band,

Even though Poppermost has their ow n sound, you can hear the influences of artists like the Beatles, R.E.M., The Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, and Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green and Lindsey Buckingham in their songs. They yearn for a time when "the music really mattered," and wasn't about "fa shion and hundred dollar T-shirts."

The diversity and quality of their music brings varied reactions from listeners, from "gotta dance" enthusiasm to awe. The lyrics have been appreciated as being ". . . so powerful. They really move me." Another fan has declared the music "addictive" and "never gets tired of listening to it."

To Poppermost, music equals life and their goal is to make a great living making great music, whether originals or covers, for everyone. Poppermost is taking "retro" into a new century with their music and their attitude of, "First you're born, then you die. In between you can either watch 'Lucy' reruns or kick some butt playing great music. You choose. We did. We are headed to the top...'the toppermost of the poppermost!'"

The Poppermost name originates from the early Beatles' inspirational call and response, "...to the toppermost of the poppermost!"
