Birthed in the first half of this decade, Styrofoam Duck is the brainchild of lifelong Twin Cities resident Benjamin Brockway, who has steered the group through a variety of sonic approaches and numerous lineup changes. Within the last two years, the band and the man have cemented a reputation as one of the preeminent purveyors of Minneapolitan noisy rock tantrum, running the gamut from fried-circuit percussive vamps to improv-as-Wright-Brothers-flight to blown-out Kraut psyche trek. Audiences in the Cities' many underground venues have been both dumbfounded and moved to bodily congress by the band's at once shambolic and yet transcendant live sets. Ben and his rotating set of accomplices have shared the stage with the likes of Sightings (Load Records), Neptune (Table of the Elements), and Old Time Relijun (K Records). Having just wrapped up a short tour eastward, Styrofoam Duck will be headed to the Southwest and Deep South in late January.
