Artist History The first incarnation of the band, at school, included a lead singer (name forgotten) who wanted to cover Black Sabbath’s Paranoid, which Golem decided to add a bossa nova beat to. It went downhill from there. Spastic Echo Mark I dissolved. A particularly galling aspect of this was that the singer ripped the PVC trousers that Golem had loaned him during the final rehearsal. Scarily, that last session was videotaped, but has never surfaced. Spastic Echo Mark II lived only in the imagination of the imaginer for the next twelve years. Mark III have produced Doll Is House, the first album..

Group Members The members include: Diaspora Jones, Jim Burroughs, three Sufi Judges, Golem III (the Biogenic Sulphur Boy), Gravy Himints and Ron Silver, formerly of the Hellcats.

Instruments The tracks were created using backwards samples, a Casio Rapman with Voice Effector, a jade Tokai electric guitar, an unmarked thrift shop acoustic guitar, drum loop downloads (rhythmic b/grounds on some tracks recorded using kitchen utensils) Dance eJay software, Windows Sound Recorder, Magix Music Studio, MusicMatch Jukebox Converter, and Scalpel.

Albums Doll Is House; Not Brand Echo (pending)

Additional Info The first official Spastic Echo novel, "I Was A Teenage Sludge Tanker", is also available from all imaginary bookstores, or by e-mailing us.
