The Cometeers are an eight-piece instrumental powerhouse from San Diego blending Afro-Cuban rhythm, Stax-inspired horns, fuzzed surf guitar, and deep funk grooves. Their 2023 debut EP introduced a raw, cinematic sound that’s evolved through 2025 releases like “Lucero,” “Calavera,” “Get Goin’” and the 2-inch tape session Live from Barn Time, a snapshot of the band in mid-strike, unguarded and alive.
