Monobody

UPSILON ACRUX Upsilon Acrux is an instrumental quintet now residing in Los Angeles, although originally the band is from San Diego County's hotbed for hair metal singers known as Vista, California. The music is not easy to describe but attempts to do so regard it as esoteric, mathematical, athletic, noisy and brutal. UA continue to develop their uncompromising sound and intense live shows which have included such acts as The Boredoms, The Ruins, Mission of Burma, the Locust, Don Caballero, Bad Dudes, the Fucking Champs, Dillinger Escape Plan, Anal Cunt, Devin Sarno and Nels Cline, Fred Frith and Chris Cutler, Cattle Decapitation, Black Heart Procession, Crime in Choir, Hella, Marnie Stern, Grand Ulena, Yowie, Flying Luttenbachers, Octis, Orthrelm, Time of Orchids, Ahleuchatistas, Experimental Dental School, Child Abuse, Open City, Polar Goldie Cats, Truman's Water and Mick Barr.YOWIE Yowie plays a dense foreign language through two guitars which communicate in an angry six string banter over strictly scattered drums. This power trio speaks in alien code with founding member Defenestrator playing the part of percussive conductor. Each song comes densely packed with rare repetitions: a series of guitar riffs pass like clever one-liners with unbridled speed. MONOBODYMonobody is an "instrumental 5-piece from [Chicago, IL] who mix superb musicianship, imaginative composition and groove driven melodies to create a sound that features elements of jazz, pop, math and progressive rock." -Andy Crowder, Musical Mathematics
