EL BUZZARD

is a noise metal band from San Jose CA, which began in 2001. Formed by Troy Kooper and Gene Nite, and later Bass player Josh Santaga and their first drummer Brian Bieler. In 2003, the band and Bieler split ways before any official recordings. Jack Panaghetti joined briefly and recorded drums on their self released debut full length album “El Buzzard”.

In 2004, before "El Buzzard" was released Panaghetti left the band and was replaced by Clay Parton (x-Mohinder and Duster).

With Parton added to Kooper, Santaga and Nite the lineup never again changed. They went on to release a 6 song, 11 minute EP on “The Electric Human Project” Label titled “Tranquilazante Del Elefante” (Elephant Tranquilizer), and their final full length release “Gringa” on the same label.

In 2007 the band disbanded as El Buzzard and formed an experimental band called “Breasts”.

According to “The Static Cult Label’s” website “Breasts” will be releasing an album on the label in early ‘08.
