Colonel Abstract & The Dangers

8 Fans

Band Bio

You would never expect a 5-piece guitarless band with a gay couple, a contacts-sporting anonymous leader, and a three-piece vocal consisting of equal parts Nine Inch Nails and Nina Simone to succeed, but the Colonel and his band have been on the circuit for half a decade. The mysterious leader is no more a spectacle then his weird and eclectic group of singer/drummer/harmonica player Sam Greene, electronic musician Ishmael Greene, pianist Abraham O'Toole, and singer/cellist Yoko Sampson. The group is infamous for its fast-paced, narcotic fusion of electronic noise, 60s bubblegum, British goth rock, and classic jazz, and were recently signed to [almost] records.

Ave, Carthagia Date Released: 1/1/2010   Tracks: 13 Sales: 3   Listens: 2 Here's the latest outta cold storage in the Imperial Warehouses... one for all y' history majors. We've been experimenting with some new instruments, themes, languages... Kinda a soul/baroque/thrash stew we got here. We tried to imagine if we lived during the days o' old Hannibal, Caesar & the gang... and still wanted to rock out and make brain slurpees out of your audio souls. Limited release, enjoy. -The Colonel

Bipolar World/The Covers Sessions Date Released: 5/31/2009   Tracks: 18 Sales: 5   Listens: 7 we did it. Our second full length. Your mind will be so warped by this album of albums, or so we hope, that it'll be between a mobius strip and a sprite can. Ishmael's been far more loose & grooving in the Spaceport, and it's spread to the whole damn band. we got a men's choir, a bongoist, and Fishgut himself on spoons & wine bottle. Relax, you'll need to... produced by M. Jimmet & Sgt. Conceptual for [almost] 09, most instruments by us.

Themes on a Variation Date Released: 4/21/2009   Tracks: 6 Sales: 4   Listens: 10 A NOTE FROM THE COLONEL: we noted the collective thoughts of hairless chimps, boiled them down to their basic components, scrapped half of em, and composed the following pieces... produced by M. Jimmet for [almost] reccords.

In Monochrome Technicolorr Date Released: 4/7/2009   Tracks: 20 Sales: 6   Listens: 14 A NOTE FROM THE COLONEL: If you like Rod Stewart, Barry Manilow, or Billy Joel, TURN BACK NOW. If, however, you want music that can simulate black holes & make a fruit smoothie from the minds of the bourgouise elite, curl up by the fire... we have a story. MIXED:by hand, by us PRODUCED:by Mike Jimmet RELEASED:on [almost] records. Play nice, kiddos.
