About Me

"I'm not Anti-Music, Music's Anti-Me." - Greg Kelley (Heathen Shame,Nmperign)

We are a trio of jilted romantics making every attempt to uproot our instruments from history through low tech primitive dysfunction. We focus on improvised free screech, howl, crispy sizzle and thud. These improvisations are channeled through the lungs, arms and feet. Mostly there is only alto saxophone, trombone & drums.
