SANTIAGO / WEISS
This musical project started off as many of Pupa's projects. As a jam. Gary Weiss a well known and rounded musician has played and performed with many. Santiago / Weiss took a liking of their playing and SANTIAGO / WEISS was born. Both musicians are very eclectic when it comes to playing their instruments. In late 2011 they started work on a CD (Rhythmical Minds). These were jams that the two were doing on a weekly basis. Pupa started to work on over dubs and things just started to fall in to place. Both SANTIAGO / WEISS are neighbors on Staten Island, New York. Making the recording of the jams that much more easy to do.
Gary Weiss drums, percussion & toys.
