"Neptune is a band from Boston, MA that originally started as a sculpture project. The band played it's first show in a basement in late December of '94. Currently, Neptune consists of 3 member playing homemade instruments. The music is noisy and uncombed, a concoction of busted garage and incorrect math with bike parts, saws, old metal chairs, hobo electronics, amplified springs, metal drums with contact mics inside and other debris found in the trash. With several different members and collaborators over the years, the music has evolved with the instruments, combining traditional sounds of rock with what sounds like mistake-day at the ball bearing factory. Jason sculpts most of the instruments out of scrap metal. Mark has taken interest in electronics culminating in the assembly of a small army of nifty synthesizers. Dan has mastered in the fine art of building debt and breaking stuff."
These guys have a vast catalog of recordings, and are currently touring all over Europe. For dates and sounds see:
