We Are The Music Makers was founded during the winter of 2005 by Adam Castro (Bass) and Mike Chierchio (Drums). They began jamming together in Third Rail Studio's, a Brooklyn based venue/rehearsal studio founded by Mike Chierchio. As their jamming progessed into deeper music with strong song structures they decided to take the jams to the next level and make the band offiical. Thus, Mike Calabrese was called onto the scene for guitar duties. Due to the lack of ability to find a proper lead vocalist as a fourth member, Mike Calabrese took on vocals as well as lead guitar. They recorded their first album with Russ Mitkowski in the summer of 2005, entitled "I Had Some Dreams", which was never distributed to the public. They later established a new set of material which led to the recording of their debut EP, also entitled "I Had Some Dreams". Their first EP was released during the winter of 2006.
Shortly after the release of their first EP, Chierchio had to take leave of the thrown due to obligations on the set for another Brooklyn based band called Never Say Die. Left without a drummer, Castro and Calabrese dabbled with many a musician looking to start up a new project. Before long, a new band indeed surfaced during the summer of 2006. The new group consisted of original members Castro and Calabrese as well as the addition of a new guitarist, Philly Salvagione, and new drummer Russ Mitkowski. Originally entitled Ecumenopolis, the group later agreed to become We Are The Music Makers and embarked on a 16 day tour of the US during the winter of 2007.
After their first tour, the band slowly began to seperate again, but more vague and unofficial. Since then, the band has been on hiatus, leaving the members to work on other projects that has been established throughout the elapsed time.
Philly Salvagione now plays in the progressive grunge metal band Scribes of Fire.
Russ Mitkowski now plays in the reggae band Under The Rastah Influence.

We've never been able to quite pin down exactly how the The Hunter Gracchus are going to play on any given occasion, which is a wonderful thing. A shifting unit with Syed Kamran Ali, Fiona Marshall and Jon Marshall at the core, they have recently settled into a fairly stable unit of six, but it's hard to know how long that'll last. Still, while it does, it's producing all manner of magical and highly unexpected performances. The one captured here was recorded at the band's practice room cum gig space, Fagin's Hideout/The Furniture Makers and is a less blistering freakout than some of their recent output, preferring to quietly explore every nook of tonal space. It simmers rather than erupts and, the longer you become immersed in it, the less aware you become of the passage of time. It's a recording that feels like it should go on forever and, when it does come to a close, the silence is shocking. In a time when it's all too easy for a group of improvisers to just go full-tilt in some euphoric pursuit, the Hunter Gracchus provides us with a glowing alternative that draws us slowly in and drowns our senses. This is truly awesome.
Peeesseye I Woke Up and Drank a Bottle of Cheap Kojak CDR
Peeesseye made the scene at Dylan Nyoukis's Colour Out of Space festival last summer and hopped over to Manchester to play a show at the Town Hall Tavern, the recording of which forms the content of this incredible slab of dense droning harmonium, scraping, buzzing, subtly soloing guitar and pulse-free, scatter-drumming. We can't recommend this enough.
This beautiful super-heavyweight LP, which comes packaged in a sweet full-colour sleeve reunites the UK's premier free drummer Alex Neilson, who's played, amongst others, with Motor Ghost, Directing Hand, Trembling Bells, Tight Meat Duo, Josephine Foster, Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Jandek, MV&EE, Richard Youngs, Baby Dee and Alastair Galbraith, with Nmperign member Greg Kelley, whose reinvention of the trumpet is as crucial now as Anthony Braxton's reinvention of the sax was 30 years ago. A screeching, soaring, scattergun array of noises come maniacally out of Greg's horn, unlike anything we've ever heard and, with the addition of random stabs of electronics, he successfully straddles no wave, concrete and free jazz in a way that makes those genres seem like trite pigeonholes.
