About Me

Here's a stupid question: do you like quality music? Here's another stupid question: are you tired of the mundane carbon-copies of carbon-copy bands out there? Being the intelligent biped that you are, of course the answer to both of these questions is a resounding YES! I understand your plight. That's why theres theMIDDLEfork.
theMIDDLEfork?
Yes, theMIDDLEfork. It's this dynamic 3-piece band--Tee on bass, vocals, and samples, Bryan on guitar, synth-guitar, and backing vocals, and Ron on drums. Drawing from a diverse array of influences--Primus, Mr. Bungle, NIN, MSI, Clutch, Buckethead, etc--theMIDDLEfork write catchy songs that drip of personality and groove.
Imagine: ranting schizophrenic vocals over a complex rhythm of samples and live drums, pushed with a slinky fretless 5-string and layered with keys, synth, guitar--sometimes metal, sometimes ethereal, sometimes funky, sometimes industrial. Seriously, go ahead and imagine. I'll wait. The truth is your imagination can't even touch the reality of theMIDDLEfork. With powerful orchestrations and innovative approaches to instrumentation, these 3 guys sound like 6. And their musicianship is matched only by their intensity. See also: severe passion. See also: musical revolution.
Other intelligent bipeds like you have spoken up and recently voted theMIDDLEfork best live band in the Starlight Lounge contest. So here's one last stupid question: what are you waiting for? Check out theMIDDLEfork and hear the quality firsthand!
