Bio:

OFM: OdAm fEI mUd (Oh-dom feh mood) is a samurai/neo-kabuki, performance art group. The performance is choreographed fighting and sword work, ripping away at prosthetics and props, only to give way to a b-movie bloodbath! The music is the only narrative to this stage performance of tyranny in ambiguity! The music itself is a progressive and ever changing score based in heavy drumming! OFM was conceived as the brainchild of visual artist Daniel Crosier in 2003, and was heavily influenced by the manga Lone Wolf & Cub, the samurai film Akiro Kurosawa’s the Seven Samurai, and the performance metal band GWAR. Interested in political history OFM is commentary directed at the Bush administration years as well any regime of any nation at anytime in human history that practices abuse of power and tyranny. Over the years OFM has evolved in many different approaches and aesthetics in performance, music, and commentary. Below is the current roster of phenomenal artists and performers:
