Artist description The Waxing Gibbous is a band dedicated to bringing you music that is something you could listen to without wishing to throw yourself out of the highest available window. The instrumentation in our songs is eighty to one hundred percent synthesized, and so are we. With shades of El Blimpo and early They Might Be Giants, our music is simple, entertaining, alterna-pop. Enjoy if you dare.

Artist History The duo of Julian Cantella and Brian Hecht first appeared as the band Royal Jelly, until they found that there already was a Royal Jelly, headed by one member of the Bangles. They were then briefly joined by Drummer Andy Reigner and Multi-Instrumentalist Dan Christ and Bassist Dan Kish and wrote and recorded under the immortal name "El Blimpo". After the tragic break-up of El Blimpo, largely due to artistic burnout, there was a short period of stagnance in which no new material was written or recorded. In the summer of 2000 Brian and Julian formed the Waxing Gibbous.
