Lords of Outland
Rent Romus/CJ Borosque/Ray Scheaffer/Philip Everett - All Hallows Performance with film fun and sound, 

also performing a solo set Kasey Knudsen 

 ************************************* 
Romus’ vision of art takes the darkness and light of his own persona with that of the group members and translates it into musical combinations. Through the use of electronic & acoustic instrumentation, Romus composes his music to elicit a “feeling” as opposed to just simply entertain. The sound performed by the Lords of Outland follow a gut level harshness building upon a sparse structure while utilizing free improv. Noise and everything inbetween. In short, Romus takes a grunge attitude or bull-in-a-china-shop direction. 

"...inventive cutting-edge sounds...ghostly howls, which sound as if they leeched in from a Japanese horror flick soundtrack, appear on one Culture track, with other tunes filled with miasmatic pulses courtesy of Reaven Borosque’s flanged guitar licks and crackling electronics. Scraped timbres, perhaps emanating from Everett’s autoharp or Romus’ zitherod (sic) provide sandpaper-like abrasions underneath the Aylerian saxophone lines and oscillated wind-tunnel sounds, while Shaeffer’s sluicing bass configuration links the CD to rock-like beats."
-Ken Waxman, Jazzword.com 

"...the combination of experienced free-improv players and blinding white noise is revelatory indeed...If you've ever wondered about the possibility of hearing a collision between beatnik free jazz and power electronics, then your prayers have been answered."
RFK, Dead Angel
