Electric Junkyard Gamelan Record Release Show (Event Over)

Terry Dame’s Electric Junkyard Gamelan is not your average New York City band. Inspired by Gamelan of Bali, Eastern modal music, funk and hip hop, they have fused together a unique rhythmic sound that mixes modern beats with ancient interlocking rhythms using handmade instruments such as the RuBarp, Sitello, Kachapitar and Clayrimba.

Come see Terry and the band play on instruments created mostly from recycled materials such as rubber bands, bed frames, old farm equipment, clay pots, saw blades and truck springs. The resulting sound is refreshingly new yet familiar with strong interlocking rhythms and colorful harmonic washes that blend with funky back beats and driving bass lines.

Tracks from Life on Marz are available for preview on their MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/electricjunkyardga....
