Biography
“The concept of BREAK has been tested and refined in various incarnations over the the last 12+ years.
Flanked by touring musicians on turntables, drumset, synthesizer-driven melodies and thick basslines, BREAK is perhaps one of the U.S.’s most under-recognized yet highly heralded live electronic groups. They dont mind the pace of recognition, for them its all about the fans getting it.
Fame isn’t their focus so its evident that they will continue to evolve and contribute an important chapter to the History of Live Progressive Music.”
