About Me

What may be termed purely a live project, DrumVsBass is improvisational music made with drums and bass free of genres. DrumVsBass attempts to transcend jam session wankery by creating music that is not classifiably funk, nor jazz, nor metal, nor electronic, but borrows heavily from these genres to create a unique experience from one show to the next. there is little or no rehearsed material.Shows include mARTy electr(on)ic bass with a rotating list of drummers with various styles that will greatly influence the outcome of the music for the evening.'Songs' (if they can be called songs) that will be presented on this site, are from the forthcoming studio EP that mARTy has been working on by himself for far too long, and will be available December 2008!!! You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy .COM's MySpace Profile Editor !
