about
These three mad scientists of music were drawn together in this form in 2004 after already playing together in at times over the years. They learned that no matter how much they wanted to play jazz for them they had also absorbed a lifetime of captain beefheart and iggy pop, Frank zappa and black flag. Tom waits and the residents. Often aided in live show's by the unofficial 4th member, visual and performance artist Tavsh Costello, who often painted onstage or provided spoken word interludes-be they commentary of current events,his own poetry, or a memorable reading of Ray Bradbury's "The Illustrated Man" during a violent and chaotic perforamce of Instructions and the only live performance of the Doors song "Break on Through". 2010 saw the recording of the first ful length release since 2007,"Menacing Moves and Pale Floating Orchards". It is due for release this year. And the first week of january has just seen the release of the 10 track free download of "The Mutation Manifesto". Featuring 3 new brand new never heard before songs.
