New Guinea Pigs is a hard rock band putting down roots in Grants Pass, Oregon. They're new to the scene, coming in with energy and enthusiasm. Their love of music is infectious, the shows are fun and inclusive. Make sure to show up and support local music while having yourself an amazing time.

The band formed when Tom and Adam met while at work at the grocery store. They quickly realized they both play guitar and share a love of all things rock. Tom has been playing guitar and writing original songs for years. Adam has been playing guitar and working with bands, making their flyers and helping promote show, for many years himself. It was clear to them that they needed to get together and play some serious, heavy rock'n'roll.

The boys played their first shows with the help of a drum machine, before fate brought them a rhythm section. While manning his cash register at the grocery store, Adam was talking about his love of music, his band, and their lack of a drummer. That's how he met Ken, who had played for many years in his youth but hadn't had a drum kit for over ten years. But when a chance to be in a band came up, the boys were able to find a drum kit and get things going. They played a couple of featured artists and a headline show, but still did not have a bass player.

Well Drew just happens to be Ken's neighbor, and both an exceptional bass player and musician in general. He had not played bass before, but took to it like a duck to water. Now the band is a complete 4 piece rock band, their practicing regularly while Tom develops new material.
