Piñataland

Formed in Brooklyn, New York, Piñataland is the creation of David Wechsler and Doug Stone, performers/songwriters who set out to form a new band centered around their fascination for the stories and sounds of the Weird Old World.

Over the past few years, the 5-piece Piñataland have become experts at conjuring the strangeness of history to life with violin, tuba, accordion, guitar and drums. Far from being "old-timey" purists, the band's strikingly original music resembles some never-existed pre-WWII rock, lurching from the epic and grandiose to the haunting.
