Cigarbox Planetarium

Formed in 1999, Cigarbox Planetarium--guitarist Andy Charneco and keyboardist Deanna Pineda--plays self-proclaimed "lounge-bossa-tiki-surf-a-nova-spaghetti-westernish-instrumental-pop." The two began doing instrumental covers such as the theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly," "Telstar" by British '60s instrumental band the Tornados and several bossa nova works by Antonio Carlos Jobim. The debut self-titled record of original material was released on Oh! Tonito in December 2002. ~ Kenyon Hopkin
