Ass Worship - Music

Lullabye Arkestra Was Formed In The Summer Of 2001 By Justin Small Drums And Katia Taylor Bass And Are Currently Based In Toronto. Justin Is Also Member Of Do Make Say Think. The Ark Began By Writing Minimal Stripped Down And Raunchy Rock Songs Using Their Signature Fuzzed Out Bass Sound And Banshee Vocals. They Combined Elements Of Hardcore Punk With 60’s-Era Soul Creating An Unusual Yet Raw And Energetic Sound. That First Summer They Recorded "Bzaster" An 8-Song CDR Release Which Was Self-Produced With Handmade Covers And Sold Only At Shows And A Few Select Record Stores In Toronto. For This Recording They Called Upon Do Make Say Think Members Ohad Benchetrit Saxophone And Charles Spearin And Brian Cram Trumpets Who Added To The Soul-Inspired Songs. In 2002 Small And Taylor Recruited Shelton Deverell Tangiers Z’Howndz On Organ. Deverell’s Gospel-Influenced Style Of Playing Added Sweetness And Density To The Ark’s Sound. They Began Playing Live With Benchetrit Spearin And Deverell And Also Called Upon Jason Baird Do Make Say Think Feist For Saxophone And Randy Ray And Marco Landini For Backing Vocals. From This Point Lullabye Arkestra’s Live Performances Consisted Of Anything From Two To Twelve Players. Other Musicians Who Have Since Joined The Band On Stage Are Julie Penner Fembots Do Make Say Think Broken Social Scene On Violin Bryce Kushnier Vitaminsforyou On Saxophone And Keyboard Joann Goldsmith The Old Soul On Trumpet And Amanda Newman On Trumpet. Lullabye Arkestra’s Soul-Core Sound Is Continuously Evolving With Influences From Grindcore To Garage Pummeling Rock Epics To Soulful Crooning And Rave-Ups To Throw Downs. read less
