Thee American Revolution

Proving that this pop-obsessed members from the Elephant 6 collective prefer to arrive the amps and kick out the jams sometimes, Thee American Revolution certainly are a loud-and-proud rock-band led by Robert Schneider from the Apples in Stereo system and Craig Morris of the perfect Free of charge Distribution and Terrapin Fish pond. Schneider and Morris are brothers-in-law, and after finding that they had a distributed fondness for traditional psychedelia and classic hard rock and roll, they started to collaborate, composing and recording materials in the studio room Morris had built-in his house (mainly using equipment he designed himself). Schneider and Morris had been soon inviting close friends to the studio room to focus on the tunes, and percussionist Otto Helmuth from the Blueberries became an integral person in the group’s floating lineup, while Expenses Doss from the Olivia Tremor Control and John Ferguson of Big New as well as the Apples in Stereo system often appeared using the music group in its regular live shows. The group also offers a key behind-the-scenes contributor, one William Shears, who the music group claims may be the pseudonym for any British expatriate as soon as noted figure around the U.K. pop-psych picture who is right now providing as the Revolution’s coach, having settled within their hometown of Lexington, Kentucky. (Schneider and Morris won’t divulge Shears’ identification, but have mentioned for the record he’s not really Andy Partridge; this presumably means Colin Moulding can’t be eliminated.) Schneider and Morris initial began creating materials for the group in 2004, plus they performed occasional concert events and posted several music online, nonetheless it wasn’t before fall of 2008 that Thee American Trend finally released physical item, when the record Buddha Electrostorm was released by Morris’ Backyard Gate Records.
