Mumra is your friend. Play loud
Why this name?
when i was a kid, i was obsessed with the cartoon THUNDERCATS. to me, that show had the best villian, so i changed the spelling and started recording under that name
Do you play live?
I've done one live show with Failure to Comply, but there will certainly be more.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it has definitely opened new doors for up and coming artists, but has also kind of cheated established artists.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
that would all depend on circumstance. i'm already distributed by INHERENT PRODUCTIONS, which is a small label, but maybe i'm already with a major label and juat don't know it yet.
Band History:
mumra originated by a little voice in my head telling me that i had sat around long enough without being productive. i had been into experimental and noise music for years, and hooking up with a band hadn't worked out in a while, so i started a solo project. i hooked up with another solo artist, FAILURE TO COMPLY, and recorded a collaboration effort. our disc was released October 22, 2004. this particular release granted me an oppurtunity to try my hand at vocals for a band called HYGOPIAN. i was accepted as the new guy, and shortly after the first MUMRA solo effort was released. After about a year with the group we decided to call it quits, so now i'm a fully functional solo artist.
Your influences?
faith no more, a lot of mike patton's work, masonna, multiple black metal and death metal artists, double dick slick, early punk bands(not neccessarily the music, but the attitude), my friend Bob.
Favorite spot?
home. Chattanooga, TN. also anywhere that it's cold all the time. heat sucks.
Equipment used:
gemini digital turntables, phototherimin, multiple drum machines, didjeridoo, my atari keyboard, behringer mixers, lots of vocals
