About Me

The toxic stagnant air which envelopes the factory tinged corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike is known to cause some unfavorable side effects. From this unforgiving stretch of land, a balance was sought. A techno-organic anomaly rose out from the industrial wasteland in an attempt to revolt against the stagnant air no matter where it may hang its gray ugly head. Their mission continues to this day, with no end in sight. The parts which make up this Fun Machine have been electro-magnetically connected since their forging in the machine shop. These parts; Johnny, Wetzel, Colin, and Renee had no clue of this electro-magnetic field's existence, let alone their destiny of when their threads would become tightly entwined to form this machine. The sounds this Fun Machine creates has once de-molecularized a sentient organic being, and, with one fell saw-toothed wave, rebuilt it from the atomic level back up again. At times dramatic, at turns relentlessly aggressive, the jagged rhythmic path that their sound signals follow always strikes an electric kick to the senses. A joyous confusion fills the ears of the unsuspecting listenerâ€¦shortly before molecular deconstruction. The shifting rhythms and meters of Colin are held down by a steady sub rumble of the bass from Renee. On the Machine's head rests Johnny ..s and Wetzel on guitars, broadcasting searing frequencies in counterpoint cushioned by lush walls of sound. All the while, vocal chords spiral. Fun Machine carries on their campaign against the mundane, the drab, the status quo, the bland, and the stagnant so as to put feet on the floor, smiles on the faces, and thoughts in the brains. Stay tuned for upcoming shows. Also stay tuned for a brand new studio album which should be set to go sometime in 2008.So call Tronny, write Tronny...do what you will....
