“Purple Asteroid Cadillac, also known as Tha P.A.C., is like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Bringing forth a self-proclaimed fusion of “Hip-Hop, Jazz, Funk, Rock and Neo Soul,” the gentlemen of Purple Asteroid Cadillac succeed in doing something not a lot of current music acts accomplish; creating a fresh, previously unheard stream of music.”- Brittany Newton – Detours Magazine Online
Purple Asteroid Cadillac began their journey June, 2009, after Fooch, the lead vocalist, met up with a friend who had studied jazz and blues in college and had previous experience playing bass.
