WaveSauce

About the band

WaveSauce, an instrumental band offering the unique sounds of the Theremin.

Thereminist, Michele "Cookie" Heile and guitarist, Pete Vercellotti formed WaveSauce, as a surf duo, in the Spring of 2007. Now, a dynamic 4-piece, adding Joel Boutwell on bass guitar and Doug Powers on drums, WaveSauce delivers unique, original songs, plus a few cool standards.

The ethereal Theremin, vintage guitar tone, and powerful rhythm makes this band edgy and surreal – setting them apart from the rest. WaveSauce is sure to intrigue. 

Influenced by Davie Allan, Man or Astro-man?, The Ventures, The Seeds, Jerry Cole, Devo, 60s B-rated hotrod, horror, and scifi films.
