Influences included electro-acoustic, progressive, free jazz improvisation, electronic, psychedelic, musique concret, new music, 'krautrock' and industrial noise, as readily as Fluxus, Dada and Futurist sound art experiments and performance art. Many of the founding band members had first collaborated in Louisville's underground arts collective ARF [ Artist Resistance Front ]
studio and live performances bore out a strong rhythmical composition peppered with Beat-influenced, stream-of-consciousness lyricism, itself tagged with ready wit and complex wordplay. Traditional 'rock' instrumentation was subverted through the use of tape loops, early turntablism efforts, non-musicianship, and oblique strategies. Performances were often punctuated with improvisational movement, video projections, and avant guarde visual stagings.
Today, the primary players of the band are scattered across the united states yet the potential for mail- and internet-collaborations virtually keeps the band alive over the distance. Core members did re-convene in Louisville for live performances in 1996 and 1997. And Jeff Jobson has contributed audio resources to JS Adams' continuing BLK w/ BEAR solo project.
