Things that come from Texas are often odd and grand, and this is no exception for Denton's FERGUS & GERONIMO.

Named after the rival child gang leaders from the 1994 movie "War Of The Buttons", their music is at times both focused and loose, and comes from a wide range of unexpected influences.

At the core of the group is Jason Kelly and Andrew Savage, who met while Kelly was recording and mixing a record for Teenage Cool Kids, a band started by Savage.

During that four month process of recording, Kelly and Savage bonded over music, the creative process of recording, and the possibility of having a band that draws from a variety of sources.

Black and Chicano doo-wop, the energy and atmosphere of classic soul, the precise control of Frank Zappa, psychedelia, and a thought to nearly everything in between.

"Unlearn" is the group's first full-length after releasing a handful of singles on various labels over the past two years.
