Unsigned Entertainment

North Hollywood-based groove-rock band Katerpillar has commanded audience attention throughout the southland since 2003. With a host of radio-ready tracks compiled from their debut album, “Metamorphosis,” and e.p.s “Cataplectic” and “Katerpillar,”,Katerpillar grooves with unrivaled fervor and intensity. Katerpillar’s songs cater to every mood and occasion with an expansive repertoire of original music consisting of everything from haunting ballads to edgy rock jams to up-beat hip-hop scratch tracks. Katerpillar is comprised of: Singer-songwriter Rod Soriano, the self-taught music theorist, guitarist and vocalist that founded the cream-your-pants musical stylings unique to Katerpilar’s sound. His moving, melodic verses and why-didn’t-I-think-of-that lyrics make him stand out in his ground-breaking genre of groove-rock music. From the first percussive slap, bassist Steve Henao piques listeners’ interest with his driving bass grooves. Hailing from Sun Valley, CA, Steve brings heart and soul to the music, giving bass enthusiasts a sound to salivate for. Drummer Erik Jimenez may be the freshest face in percussion today.  A nineteen year-old prodigy, Erik displays the kind of musical sensitivity crucial to collaboration (yet rare in drummers), bringing intense percussive momentum to Katerpillar’s unforgettable sound. Percussionist Jay Pacheco is a veteran to the L.A. music scene, having played with more bands and in more genres than most of us have downloaded on our iPods.  An expert at his craft, Jay has honed his skills experimenting with an array of percussive instruments from bongos and congas to timbales and chimes.  Jay brings a musical complexity and a spicy Latin feel to the music, proving his talents to be instrumental to Katerpillar’s musical backbone. Now equipped with more material and heart than ever, Katerpillar is ready to storm stage and radio waves alike.  Always a hit at select local hot spots and a featured guest on KPFK 90.7 FM, Katerpillar has established a following consisting of fans of alternative rock, hip-hop and funk music. With an already-established fan base and support from local radio stations, Katerpillar is ready and willing to satiate the appetites of fans hungry for the next wave of this generation’s musical revolution.
