Artist description
Experimental percussion jamfest offshoot of OBE. Trip around the world,from the jungle to the rainforest to tibet mountain tops to american indian plains to british rock beats to street bang jams to german euro-tech grooves and finally, the Drum Army parade march. Plus bonus OBE SONGS! Drum Army is NOT a Drum Corps Marching Ensemble. Drum Army IS a spaced-out rock drum jamfest. CHECK OUT: http://billtmiller.com/drumarmy/ - Imagine if you will...BTM, the insane genius guru mutant from the alien orgyfest noise rock band, OUT of BAND EXPERIENCE (OBE) sending out the request for volunteers. That's right, Drum Army Wants You...see the world and taste its rhythms. It was the fall 1990 and a crack team of percussion experts were hand-picked by Commander-in-Chief Bill T. Miller to embark on the quest. With the help of TIME TRAVEL WARP PORTALS and the OBE Magick Amulet, this mutant patrol of SIX mercenary officers pounded out the basic rhythm trax during FULL MOON time tunnel sessions. Departing from a portal which appeared in the wall at HEADROOM STUDIOS and travelling at the speed of sound, eight "songs" or "jam dimensions" were conjured up. The battle plan was to lay down the basic assult and then, later, DRAFT Special Forces Troops to overdub even MORE. Eventually OVER 40 minutes of beatscape masters materialized from the original 90 minutes of multitrack tapes and have been released on the DRUM ARMY - WANTS YOU CD. |
