Droz was born from the supple, collective imagination of Weston Berg (guitar), Zeno Levy (vocals) and Saptarshi Lahiri (guitar) in the post-industrial wasteland that is Syracuse, NY. Droz draws from multiple musical traditions, particularly the noise workouts of New York's no-wave scene from the 1970s vide. Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Lydia Lunch, John Zorn and not atypically, Sonic Youth.
