Band Websitemyspace.com/artpunkband
Band MembersDr. T: acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, drums ****************?****** Tha Baron:acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, drums *************************** Rev. Paul: acoustic and electric guitars, keyboards, drums********************
Influences From Dr. Ts perspective, his personal favorites probably had the most influence: the Kinks, the Beatles, Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Buddy Holly, Sam Cooke, Dion, Todd Rundgren, Brian Wilson, Lou Reed, Neil Young, Traffic. Lately, Ive been revisiting the early Moby Grape albums and listening to recent recordings by John Cale, Leanard Cohen, Ray Davies, Dave Davies, Joni Mitchell, Steve Winwood, and the Indigo Girls. Of the next generation bands, I think that Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, and Pearl Jam are all great. And I shouldn't forget folks like Warren Zevon, Nils Lofgrin, George Harrison, Robert Hunter, NRBQ, The Fugs, and The Holy Modal Rounders. I could go on. Tha Baron Rev. Paul have similar tastes, but would no doubt add and subtract some, and are more current with the newer generations of bands.
Sounds LikeElvis, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Frank Sinatra, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Bach, Nirvana, Ray Charles, BB King, Coldplay, and, well... Alright, just kidding. Not sure who we sound like, other than the Art Punk Band.

   About Art Punk Band
The Art Punk Band consists of Dr. T, Tha Baron, and Rev. Paul. The band is unique in several ways: first they have no recognition of how the music industry really operates. They do not even consider their songs in terms of genre. Second, band members are from different generations, and their listening and playing interests range from traditional folk, blues and jazz to modern pop, classic and alternative rock, new wave, grunge, and alternative punk—and the rock explosion that began in the 1950s, and continued with the Beatles (and Kinks) and the British invasion in the 1960s that spurred the renaissance of creativity and impact on popular culture. Ray Charles once said that there were only two types of music in this world—good music and bad music. When people wondered how Ray could participate with so many musical styles, he would indicate, “because the music was good”. The Art Punk Band is mostly an "originals" band with all three members writing, singing, and playing guitars, keyboards, drums, and other instruments. I hope you find the music of the Art Punk Band is good. Feel free to leave a message on my wall. ****************************************************************** ******************************************************************* ************************************************** The band continues today because of the internet. Band members reside and play music in different parts of NY State. But there are frequent visits, and the music studio will likely see continued activity for some time. Because of possibilities opened up for music by the digital universe, this band will go on. There are close connections among the players of the Art Punk Band and the music they create is unique. The Art Punk Band is organized around principles and values of progressive cooperative enterprises--each participating member retains full rights to individual creative contributions, and shares equally in joint creative contributions. There are never band arrangements involving legal contracts or formal commitments for creating, playing, or recording music. There is no intention of going in that direction. Instead, we will to play music together when the time is right--and when it sounds good—we will record it. ******************************************************************** ****************************************************************** *************************************************** Our music will be available to myspace listeners as free streaming or downloads or at low prices as low as possible. The Art Punk Band is occasionally available for a limited number of private events but are not an "active touring band". Rev Paul and Tha Baron are in the NYC metropolitan area and will be performing— solo or as the T-Rooster. Tha Baron appeared at Rochester area coffee shops before moving to New York City—and now works in the growing independent music industry. Rev Paul --or Rev Paul and his Sheep—perform at a progressive liberal arts college in downstate NY. The modern Art Punk Band recorded a series of albums on the Zoom machine at Bad Robbin Studios between 2005 and 2008 The songs on this page are from these albums. The Art Punk Band is 30 years in developing, but an emerging work in progress. (See the blog for information about the early 'Art Punk Band') Hope you like the songs you hear. Thanks for listening. Art Punk Band Albums: 1. The Zero Sum Game (2005) 2. Pico's Place (2005) 3. A Dangerous Mix (2006) 4. Gasoline Street (2006) 5. Yard Sculpture (2007) 6. Apples and Pears (2008) 7. The Electric Planet (2008) More of this music will become available in the coming months. ************************************************************************************************************************ Success has lead to serious consideration by Dr. T of running for President.

************************************************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************************************************ ************************************************************************************************************************ -"The Mouse Christmas" is an 8 minute instrumental piece that was written for fun and for the holidays. It was on the MySpace page for a week or so until it was taken off to make room for --"Five Years", a new song which was written and sung by 'ThaBaron". We decided to also release "The Mouse Christmas" on the Creative Commons music site--submitted before Christmas, and finally available to listeners on Dec. 28. *********************************************************************************************************************** A review of the song was written for the music site on the following day, as copied below: Interesting, Experimental, Folk, Alternative 29/12/08 I liked this experimental, folk, instrumental, alternative, electronic sound track. It had diversity and had that Individuality sound to it, that made it stand out so well. ********************************************************************************************************************* So go ahead and listen or download this song (always free on Jamendo, part of the Creative Commons), by clicking on the link above. And remember to download the album "Uncommon Creations" as well--consider it our gift to you for the holidays. Thanks for keeping in touch. Dr. T Jamendo

It's almost Christmas, by the Art Punk Band

Well the season is near, so much to do,
Scrambling around in these old scruffy shoes,
Time to find something for you, you and who
knows -- maybe this thing will do.
I need money for Christmas,
I bet you do too.
What should I buy, what should I do,
I found Dr. T, to ask what he wanted...
all he said was... it's Good to Be Back, and
I found Tha Baron, Tha Baron said
Corn Whiskey, "Corn Whiskey is Better than Bread"
I found Rev. Paul, and Rev Paul said...
"Stop Shopping, Go to The Park,
chase those money lenders out of the Park."

Thank you .....for having me as a Friend....

It's always great to meet a new Beatle fan....I'm glad you enjoy the music. I try to do my best to keep John's Spirit and music alive. After all it was John Lennon and the rest of the Beatles that gave us the greatest gift of all....Their music.


Peace and Love

Hi, I think "Lo Fi of APB" is perhaps one your best works; a current, commenting and amusing. And funnily enough, I added a new song.
