33 bumblebee â„¢

Dan aka FUZBOT performed in many influential Philadelphia acts, including Legitimate Reason, Stepping Razor, Groovy Monster, 5000 Deep, and finally, 33 BumbleBee. His inspiration is felt worldwide, throwing down with a chapman stick,Bass, keyboard, funky doo-dad, or guitar, countless gearhounds owe more than a shout to DD.... Kurt, aka ADAMAC, cofounded the infamous Promethus Trashed, then joined the infamous-er Stalin's Daughter for a brief period. Many rehearsals with Groovy Monster/5000 Deep, then Black Dhalia, with many successful shows at the pontiac, fake haus, 5 spot, etc.. then performed with Jimmy Todd of Boston's Hot Toddies,Tiger Method, and Rik Rolski, The impecccable Ra' Shanne Byrne. On Adamac's returning to Philly in '98, they forged a plan for a 100% improvised jasz combo, with some organic electronic elements... All based on a recording made almost entirely at random...33BumbleBee rose from the roots of 5000 Deep, known to many friends as Groovy Monster. Adamac had begun to jam with the Monster in 1994 on a resident basis, with a kit on installment from Pablo Antonio BravoMesa., Fuzbot,and Adamac met with E (PaganBabies, Groovy Monster)and another avatar in enclosed spaces for many long sessions. Arrangements were fast and furious... Tapes would be left in the four track, many of them eminating from one showing the other an antiquated sampler's parameters... 5000 Deep folded, an unrecognised gem in the rough of Philadelphia... and many marriages later...thirtythreebumblebee is bourne on Adamac returning to Philadelphia 1 in 1998...We both had listened independently to our signifying fortythree minute opus 'Sidewalk soup' dozens of times, through adamac''s 'retreat' period in Boston... 33Bb gained residency of the magnificent Fergie's Pub of Samson in philadelpia... A cup up, Fergus.... We had written Three songs? and planned a jam the first evening... we threw most of it in the can on arrival... We had just finished a round table seminar discussing free jazz, and how even masters like Dolphy and Threadgill used rigorous parameters.. so we decided to go the other way... 0% writing...no planned composition... We were rejoined by E on many occasions throughout, and also Norman of Black Dahlia. Sister Tammy often would provide muse for the usually intrumental diversions...On one occasion, Mausoleum crew chief Web freestyled on the mic with us at Fergie's pub (Rest your soul, brother...Dinty Moore knows the score...) Initially, 33bb was to be a CAN style 2 drummer (optional) lineup, with D & Mrs. Douglas playing in the outfit..a much heavier 5000 Deep crossover, with adamac on keyboard and battery. Joining the duo (in off football season periods, lol) WAWA BOK, guitar, slide, synth, theremin, and one rocking mofo. He devoted much to the unit, and then they had discovered their sound... Using guitar synthesisers and organic drumming, 33Bb lays grooves to rival your Mama. At times, friends would stand in as members of the band would branch into different instruments. In many ways, and an extension of the teachings of the Orff school of interpretive music. 33BB became a Warholian collective of beautiful mutants. Standin avatars include, but are not limited to...
