We are actively creating new Flumergex brand sounds, mixing them up in our laboratory with a little bit of this and a dash of that. The music is reactive, and flammable! Check back often to hear what we are up to.

Eight Hands Are Better Than Four
This song by Hoke and Smith features Androcles Hokemanensis on mind-melting keyboards, and Jessiah Maximus on rhythmic and lilting acoustic guitars. The recording was produced by Andy and multitracked in two passes. ©2007

The live band has stripped down the sound. While the album features layers of distorted electric guitars and crazy synthesizers, the live band presently consists of Jon on his Ashiko hand drum; Andy playing piano or, on the really fun days, his accordion; and Jesse on acoustic guitar and vocals. We always have a great time and we never fail to deliver a wildly energetic performance.
