Pomegranted are an American Rock and Roll band from San Jose, California. The band is made up of Monty Kameda (bass), Phil Breczinski (piano/synth), Adam Schwaninger (drums), and Dhimant Patel (guitar).

History

Formed from the vestiges of the Cosmic Paste, Pomegranted has been playing as a four piece instrumental band since mid-December 2012. Cosmic Paste was a band formed by vocalist Heaven Leigh. Found via tryouts, Phil and Dhimant joined the Heaven's group. Bassist Monty Kameda then joined the group and brought along Adam, a longtime drummer from their playing days in Denver. After a short but interesting three month stint as Comsic Paste the group disbanded. With the departure of vocalist Heaven, the remaining four members chose to continue making music as a new band.

On December 27, 2012 Pomegranted played their first show as a power trio at the Caravan Lounge in Downtown SJ. Opening for Fogtongue, the group played all original pieces for a 45 minute set. Since that show, Pomegranted has gone on to play South Bay venues such as Johnny V's, The Caravan Lounge, 5th Quarter. Other Bay Area venues played include Park 77 Bar in SF and the West End Flea Market @ the College of Alameda.

The name Pomegranted comes from an old song by guitarist Soy Sauce Control.

The band practices and records at the Purple Palace.
