PETE
GIOCONDA is currently gigging in and around
Bristol, where he can be found singing his heart out and
blowing a wild harmonica. More on the rock side of acoustic
than the Nick Drake side, his songs, with their poetic and
pop sensibilities, plus his scowling attitude to everyday
annoyances, are being well received in his new
stomping ground.
Discover the imaginative world of Pete Gioconda’s writings.
Find out more in the biography and photo
album. Plus history of Pete’s band Gioconda
Smile, together with band interview.
Pete’s
songs are
notable for their unique sound fused from new wave, pop, and
folk/blues influences, mingling poetic lyrics with a punk attitude
and friendly unpretentiousness. Youthful songs of mischief, desire,
loss and sadness, plus transcendent perceptions.
Pete is currently recording a whole load of new songs. Watch this
