Gumby's Junk, an Oakland-based art rock trio formed in 2018, emerged from a serendipitous mishap to craft a sound that defies conventional genres. Comprising guitarist and vocalist Jas Stade, bassist and vocalist Emmalee Johnson-Kao, and drummer Eli Streich, the band pushes musical surrealism to its limits with outrageous harmonies and circus-fast riffs. Their style has been described as oblique, colorful madness—like running fast while looking at the ground. Notable performances include the 22nd Annual Outsound New Music Summit in Berkeley and upcoming shows at San Francisco's Great American Music Hall and Seattle's Sunset Tavern.
