Adam Coopersmith

Born: July 2, 1985

I play the drums. I make up songs. I mess around on piano. I dabble on guitar, bass, trumpet, harmonica, recorder. I fiddle around with electronic synthesizers and digital music, reason, beats and loops. I sing to myself. I freaking LOVE music. Mostly, I hope to make a loud positive noise in the universe. I was born and raised in Half Moon Bay, CA. My rhythmical instincts began when every week my family would celebrate Shabbat, the Jewish sabbath. We would sing and bang rhythms on the table during the blessing for wine. Also, my hippie-ass parents were always playing records of Bob Dylan, Bob Marley, James Taylor, Stevie Wonder, ocassionaly Ravi Shankar, Crosby Stills and Nash, Thelonious Monk as well singing all kinds of folk songs and playing their acoustic guitars

Ake Eriksson

Born: March 24, 1953

All my life i've been drumming and it looks like that's what i'll continue to do until i'm six feet under. I've done every kind of gig you can think of but my heart is with jazz-rock fusion which also means i'm not the wealthies guy around. It has a limited audience, but it also means i can go wild at the drumkit! Yeah, Billy Cobham and Alphonse Mouzon that's the guys for me!
