Sounds Like
A '33 Oldsmobile with Sonny Sharrock under the hood.
We make instrumental music with strange intensity.
Mike Isenberg (drums/keys/guitar) and Crowmeat Bob (reeds/guitar) are our primary composers.
Our current line-up: Chris Eubank (cello), Joey Chorley (electric bass), and Brian Donohoe (Moog, percussion & drums).
We've got one CDR "album" with our former line-up (Phil Martelli on bass, Jon Hubbard on tenor sax, with guests Carrie Shull on english horn and oboe, Julian Sparacino on tenor sax and flute, and Peter Lamb on tenor sax) called "Solo Basura," and are currently working towards another collection of numbers.
The six new tracks on our music player are recent demos, recorded by Jennifer Thomas.
Our music varies stylistically from straight chord-change jazz to heavy-metal-jazz to Ornette-like head-improv-head to obsessive krautrock rhythms to whatever else we feel like...
