Evil Genius

Guitar/Tuba/Drum Trio with dark humor, improvisation, cinematic melodies under an experimental umbrella.

About Me

Evil Genius was formed in 2012 by Max Kutner, Stefan Kac and Mike Lockwood. Each member brings a vast range of creative experience, performing and composing in genres as distant as death metal, polka, thrash, swing, chamber music, progressive rock, klezmer, surf and musique concrete.

The music of Evil Genius thus comes forth as a shredded amalgamation of those musical styles (and many more) that can shift focus spontaneously and in a unashamedly free fashion. This quality when combined with distinctly cinematic melodies and not-so-subtle threads of dark humor allows for an original aesthetic that is always inclusive despite its complexity.

In 2015, they will release their debut album, “Bitter Human”, on the Los Angeles-based label, Orenda Records.
