(the) fundamentalists
(the) fundamentalists-a gay oriented electro, dancerock group from Detroit, Michigan. The sound is an amalgamation of electo, high energy dance and heavy rock.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
From the ashes of the two famously unknown GLBT oriented groups (the) Crucible and Outland, (the) fundamentalists were formed by Chris Taylor in late 2003. The band has extensive experience in live performance igniting audience enthusiasm wherever they've performed.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Yes-mainly pride festivals (so far) in both Michigan and Canada. Extremes-playing Detroit's Metro pride (crowd of 2000+ & sharing a stage with Pansy Division!!) also Ann Arbor pride-total audience of 3 and the sound woman (!)-still had a great time!
