Anybody who builds there own instrument(s) (whether it be based on an existing instrument, or something completely new), and/or creates there own system of music...
Sounds Like
Secret Chiefs 3, but with home-made instruments...
We play all home-made instruments built by Ken Jacobson.
These instruments are made from mostly "found objects" (pitchfork, shovels, crutch, boat paddles/oars, etc...), most of which include at least one item from the kitchen. These instruments lend themselves nicely to Secret Chief-esque music (Middle Eastern-ish, Surf, Death Metal, Etc...) -
So the joke was born...
To further the joke, our live set and recording is called "Book of Recipes".
We play original music, but it (as of now) is mostly spoofing (tribute?) the Chief's music.
We players of weird instruments do have to 'stick' together. And it's interesting listening to a Band that parodies another band I've never heard of. So who are the secret Chiefs, anyway?
