biographical info
In the summer of 1992 one Exu Nazares met Buzz Cauldron while they were both working construction. They hit it off and decided to jam together. That session was recorded and mixed with loops to become " Trance. Pretty soon Exu had a vision of a full band to play all kinds of fusion music, and The Technicians expanded, going through many line-up changes until 1995 saw a solid line-up. The first official release, " Respect the Unexpected" The sound though hard to define was a strange mix of heavy prog-like funk rock with rapping of an entirely different lyrical genre. 1998 saw a rebirth and cabinet shuffle within The Technicians due to the usual unforseen complications arriving. The line-up became; Exu Nazares - vox and loops, Poz - guitars, Buzz Cauldron - bass, Darwin Marsh - drums and guests, Annalisa Moriarty - keys, and Bunny, congas and hand percussion. The name was shortened to The Technicians and " Tent Of Miracles" the 2nd cd was recorded. Then Childhoodzen.
