We bring you yet another Past, Present, Future this week. This time from indie rock foursome Gumshen. At first listen, it’s not hard to hear the 90′s grunge rock influences loud and clear. It’s not surprising they hail from Seattle. Head to www.gumshen.com to get their album Super Buffet for free!

1. Past: What is your musical background? What has led you to this point?
Gumshen is a Seattle band made up of actor-musician Ron Hippe (Almost Live!), jan Ciganik – former member of bands produced by John Cale and Ivan Kral, and son of the owner of the Seattle icon Oscar’s, Dennis McCoy. The different backgrounds of the members of the band contribute to a sound that is unique and captivating. Seattle Art Institute audio instructor Rich Hinklin, formerly of Reciprocal Recording (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Gits), helped solidify the band’s sound.
