mr sterile

mr sterile drums for mr sterile Assembly.
Theres a mess of solo stuff as well.
The band plays live, the solo stuff doesn't.

The mr sterile Assembly manifest itself around 2002 in Wellington, Aotearoa/New Zealand. Taking many forms in its duration, the Assembly presents its anarchic blend of politics and humour with its ear intent on a theatrical bent. Orbiting around the solo song writing of mr sterile, the band has taken many configurations, from solo show to 7 piece ensemble. The current line up of two basses, drums and vocals deconstructs the glib drum and bass handle and pushes that sonic space to its limit.

Staunch advocates of the DIY(do it yourself) ethic, the mr sterile Assembly has toured and played extensively within NZ and abroad. The 2005 eastern Europe tour saw mr sterile Assembly spend time as artist-in-residence at CESTA, Czech Republic, followed by touring dates in neighbouring Poland and Slovakia. In 2006 the Assembly spent a month performing in Malaysia, Java [Indonesia] & Singapore. 2008 was the groups first exploration of Australia, playing 3 of the major cities.

The label skirted Records, established by members of mr sterile Assembly, released the Assembly album titled Hulagu in late 2004. The band also collaborated with video artist Mike Heynes who created a video for the title track of the CD which is also included on the disc. A tour only CD, titled 15 Minute Crib [7 songs - download for free from www.skirted.net], was released for the 2006 South East Asian tour. In 2008 whyt, a limited edition book with cd, was released in conjunction with a performance of the same name at the Dunedin Fringe Festival. In 2009 a new album called Bug my Ride, the title track of the same name being a reflection on the October 15 terrorism arrests and the use of surveillance in that operation.
New recordings at 2009 end with new album March 2011.

or something along these lines...
