Aaron Ferri was the groove behind the magic of Buffalo Super 7 which appeared at Boston and Rhode Island venues such as T.T. The Bears and Lupos. Jay Segue of Spackle Magazine calls Typhoon Ferri"A rock n' roll storm that will sweep your feetoff the ground and give life to bad dancers." Bassist Aaron Ferri explains the forces that guideTyphoon Ferri: "We're a classic rock influenced band with a little blues/funk flavor. But when you get right down to it, Typhoon Ferri is rock with a groove." "Whatever it is," explains a listener (of the band's March 24 radio broadcast), "they come right at you with it... harpoons your ass and pulls you in."

Artist History go to http://www.TyphoonFerri.com (free CDs available)Aaron Ferri smells a pumpkin pie while speed-walking Harvard Avenue. He drops his handweights and sprints to the door of a 6 story gothic-style apartment building. He realizes the smell is not coming from there, so he turns around and thinks to himself "Did I really smell pumpkin pie?"A shifty fellow wearing a hooded sweatshirt and tinfoil mittens apparently reads his mind. "It's pumpkin stuffed trout," he says, pointing to Riley's Roast Beef on the corner of Brighton Ave. "The pie is your imagination." Ferri gives himself a swift punch between the eyes."I could use a person with a good imagination," says the man with the hood, "Do you also play bass guitar and have great stage presence?" At this point, Ferri is urinating down his legs into each of his treetorn shoes. "Let's make it happen" adds the hooded one lead singer/guitarist, Johnny Flypaper. "I have a nasty case of poison ivy right now, but the band will form right here, 2 weeks from this hour." Ferri agrees. "Typhoon" Tyler Montgomery joined the band two months later, after responding to a false ad for "Free Drum Kit." He was angry, then got over it.Typhoon Ferri moved on from there.
