rhBand

The San Francisco-based improvisation collective referred to as rhBand keep their identities to themselves, although it’s assumed that the people behind the similarly anonymous Drunken Seafood label are participating. Their produces are collective improvisations on generally homemade stringed musical instruments processed through a big guitar store’s worthy of of results pedals, delay products, tone generators, as well as other playthings, documented live and released with reduced mixing no overdubs. Their initial discharge was the 7″ EP 4.5.96, accompanied by 1997’s Third Purchase Parasitism, and 1998’s First Shade, all on Drunken Seafood. A chaotic on-stage efficiency premiered as 6.20.98 for the Klang Industries label in 1999.
