Artist description Pfiesteria is a hard rock improvisational power trio with humorous overtones. Comprised of 3 denizens of suburban Raleigh who are raising hell while raising kids, Pfiesteria is on a shaman's mission that draws upon the members' diverse musical backgrounds to produce a hook-driven freewheeling rock groove, usually coupled with silly lyrics that either come from the members experiences or else straight from the gutter.
