Pele Was An Instrumental Post-Rock Band From Milwaukee Wisconsin. The Group Formed In The Summer Of 1997 By Guitarist Chris Rosenau Bassist Scott Schoenbeck And Drummer Jon Mueller. Ever-Evolving In Sound The Band Was Difficult To Classify. Early In Pele's Career Critics Had Dubbed The Band Post-Rock. However Later Many Fans Began To Hear Them As Jazzy With "nimble" Guitars "rolling" Bass And "skittering" Drums "with Angular Fills And Layered Beats." These So-Called Jazz Elements Shone Through Untraditional "syncopated Handclaps Voices And Various Blips And Bleeps." After Seven Years Thirteen Releases And Various National And International Tours Pele Announced Their Winter 2004 Tour Would Be Their Last. The Remaining Members Went On To Various Projects Most Notably The Promise Ring And Paris Texas But Also New Rising Sons Volcano Choir And Collections Of Colonies Of Bees.
