Band Members
lionel Songwriter / Vocalist / Producer
lionel plunges into the depths of his own darkness and drags up something that sounds like the world's most interesting music. Seemingly void of human emotion in daily life, every drop of compassion and madness is exhausted into his songs — he even names them like children. His silent sarcasm keeps the less-brave at a comfortable distance, and they're probably right to keep it. They believe he must be harboring some dark secret. They're probably right.
Yuval Guitar
Who has Yuval not recorded with? A master studio demon and wild live performer — a guitar-god who understands pain and pleasure on a molecular level. He makes playing look so effortless he's probably helped sell more guitars than Sam Ash. His instinct for the riff that cuts right through you is matched only by his ability to make it look accidental.
The Penguin Classified
The Penguin's live appearances with the group are rare. His personality is so thoroughly repellent that it's genuinely safer for everyone involved if he maintains distance — particularly from impressionable young minds who may not be prepared to process such a specimen. Don't look directly at him. Do not engage him in small talk. Appreciate his contribution from a safe, measurable distance.
808 Drums
Why are drummers so unhinged? This one in particular. Taming this beast was anything but easy, but the result is nothing short of spectacular. More stamina than a can of Red Bull, more force than an avalanche, and more attitude than Divine at peak velocity. He's kept locked up between sets and poked with sticks until showtime. The result is explosive — by design.
Zero One Samples / Electronics
More like an android designed to serve junkies and built, secretly, to kill. Zero half-lives between the real world and the cyber-world, gathering samples — ions of raw noise — for the listeners he serves. Rarely seen live. That's entirely for the best. He exists in the signal. Don't get too close.
