About Me

ATHLETIC AUTOMATON A coach from Rhode Island put out a national ad looking for a professional dodge ball team. There were only two responses- Patrick from Kansas City and Steve from Providence. Despite the timid turn out, the coach scheduled a practice in Pascoag, Rhode Island.After their first practice, Pat and Steve decided that they both suck at dodge ball. The coach agreed. This unfortunate outcome lead to the auspicious convergence of 70's stripes and high tops with a thunderously incessant rhythm and a swarm of Angry African Killer Bees.Band Members:Guitar/Lap Steel Guitar/some Vocals: Stephen Mattos Originally from Providence, Rhode Island; an ex-guitarist of Arab on RadarPercussion/some Vocals: Patrick Crump Originally from Kansas City, Missouri: an ex-member of Pellum 1-2-3 and Saturday Night PalsyReleases: !!!!OUR NEW CD "A JOURNEY THROUGH ROMAN'S EMPIRE" OUT SEPTEMBER 18TH ON SKIN GRAFT RECORDS.
