…is a band, of sorts, loosely organized around founder and constant member Brown Hat, the Espresso Shaman. Other individuals may come and go, participating as much or as little as is good for them, in various ways. They may or may not have any religious beliefs. Pseudonyms help us maintain our anonymity. There is no set line-up and no specific instrumentation. The sound created is mostly improvisational and inevitably “experimental”, for lack of a better term, tending toward the long and noisy, all the better to disorient and spiritualize you with, my dears.

    Post-modern shamanism is our gimmick. We refer to and use any and all of the world’s religions, believing in all of them equally, but the post-modern is when we live and shamanism is the form we take, it being a specificity of animism which is the reality we inhabit. We appear in masks and medicine hats, enter spastic trance states and speak in tongues. Believing that any attempt by humans to reach divinity is inherently absurd, we embrace absurdity.

     We’re living in the Last Days. Creation is constantly occurring. Eternity is now.

     There are many recordings available.  They vary wildly in terms of style and sound quality. Caveat emptor.

     Sadly, we are not able to perform as often or as far and wide as we desire, but we do manage to get out occasionally.  Contact us about booking and, if feasible, we’ll come to where you are. Mountain caves, haunted grottoes and derelict temples are our preference, but dank basements, sketchy clubs and low-brow art galleries are fine. We cannot be held accountable for the property damage, bodily injuries and spirit possessions which will most defiantly take place.

     Myth is metaphor. Religion is myth in action.
