TeaM iLLuMiNaTi is the purple gummy bear of the Nashville music scene; a totally unique, fascinating, and much-appreciated surprise.
Somewhere between Ben Folds and Nine Inch Nails, with a little twist of Frank Zappa, TeaM iLLuMiNaTi is the brain child of Ernest Chapman (AKA Supreme Commander Aloysius LLC™), who grew up with a passion for music and conspiracy theories. What first started out as a joke name for a band soon became a world unto itself, complete with a secret take-over-the-world-agenda, exclusive team-member ID cards, and a growing fanbase of people with a taste for the theatre of the absurd.
Raised by songwriters in a community based around music, Ernest has honed his craft as a writer while also finding a unique identity as an artist, by always looking for new sounds and stories and exposing them with a childlike sense of wonder and audacity.
The new album American Dream, Co-Produced by Chapman and Matt Rollings, is available on iTunes, and the live show, aside from being a nice musical kick in the face, is very visual and theatrical, always fresh, and experimental to its core.
Though Chapman plays most of the instruments on the record, Team Illuminati's live band-members include steady bassist and co-writer Jessie Friedman, drummer Noah Hungate, and guitarist Bobby Holland.

never loose site of your vision. there are many who follow and few who truly are willing to step beyond the reach and blaze a trail. those of us who do know who we are, and the impact on this world is in no way light. however we above all else have the greatest monsters to battle. but the message we have to give is worth it, and passion we have to share! it is this energy that inspires the dreams and hopes of new worlds, and a life most only imagine!
