I recently had the pleasure of having Suzanimal provide the entertainment for my private event, and I can't praise them enough! From start to finish, they took care of everything, including setup and cleanup, with the utmost professionalism. The band and DJ created an amazing vibe that had everyone in a fantastic mood and dancing all night. My clients who attended are still raving about the experience. Suzanimal is a psychedelic pop/rock project that truly knows how to engage and entertain a crowd. Inspired by the likes of Talking Heads and Tom Tom Club, Suzanne's seductive yet light-as-air vocals, combined with the band's groove-centered tracks, made the night unforgettable. The rotating cast of veteran backing musicians added a unique flair to the performance, keeping everyone on their toes until the afterparty. Suzanimal's performance was the highlight of my event, and I couldn't have done it without them. Their professionalism, talent, and ability to create an incredible atmosphere are unmatched. If you're looking for a band that will make your event a success, look no further than Suzanimal. They are simply the best!

About
Suzanimal is a smart, playful psychedelic pop/rock project from San Francisco Bay Area singer, songwriter and bassist Suzanne Galal. Inspired by her love of Talking Heads and the Tom Tom Club. Galal — a scientist and pharmacy professor by day — picked up a bass guitar for the first time at the age of 30, and began writing confident, groove-centered tracks soon after. With Galal’s seductive yet light-as-air vocals, lyrics driven by her curiosity about the human mind, and a rotating cast of veteran backing musicians, the band quickly earned a reputation for engaging live performances and genre-defying style. A Suzanimal show is designed to make you lose yourself to the rhythm — with just enough of the unexpected to keep you on your toes ‘til the afterparty.
Suzanimal released their debut EP, Body, recorded at San Francisco’s legendary Hyde Street Studios. It was described by KQED as, "subtle, evocative and precise — swings with an attitude that’s breezy yet grounded." Passing, just released in September of 2022, is the first full-length from Suzanimal. Written over a period that included the birth of Galal’s son, her first year of parenthood, and the beginning of a global pandemic, the album expands on the funky, danceable sounds she introduced with her debut EP, Body. Featuring more experimental, sophisticated arrangements and lush production that makes each track feel both intimate and spacious. Passing finds Galal considering the ways of the universe and the plight of the household spider; crafting long-distance love songs and deeply felt lullabies; and making peace with coexisting joy and grief during a uniquely strange moment in time. The song “Eel” was recently featured in KQED’s Pass the Aux. (KQED).
In Fall 2023, we released Mouth Songs, a four-track EP created through a unique process of capturing ideas via voice memos, allowing for raw and unrestricted expression. "Water" explores the complex emotions of bringing life into a bleak world, depicting a delicate tug-of-war with my husband and son as we combat doubts and fears while reassuring each other. "Diving" champions a fearless plunge into passion, featuring grooving bass lines, catchy guitar, and synth riffs for an immersive experience. "Situated" reflects the journey of finding the perfect position for sleep, while "Games" celebrates the joy and intricacies of playing games- the emotional ones and the real ones. This EP marks a significant evolution in our music, blending raw emotion with innovative creativity.
