About Me

Defenestrate Time: defenestrate ..dee-FEN-ih-strayt.., tr. verb: To throw out of a window.
With roots spreading through the full spectrum of American musical movements from the past, Defenestrate Time morphs sounds and genres into a forward-moving, sonic landscape. Seamlessly joining elements of funk, jazz, rock, techno, folk, punk, reggae, gospel, r&b, Latin, and New Orleans, Defenestrate Time creates new sounds that are sure to please eclectic ears. Having played in and around upstate NY for four years, James Martin, David Millman and Kevin Reilly decided to establish themselves in a fresh musical scene: New Brunswick, NJ. Blowing away listeners at every performance, the band quickly became know for its distinctive muscular sound and wild jams. What you hear is a unified but shifting whole that easily blends genres of music like milk and coffee. DefTime can sound like a techno dance hall, a punk-reggae group, a folk rock quartet, or down-right dirty funkadelica. Defenestrate Time makes you sway, makes you groove, makes you soar, and makes you move. Defenestrate the search for a new band. They're already here...
