As for the musicans backing Bruno, here's a blurb from our press release about it....

Veteran percussionist David Andler (Morphius) performed recently with Pere Ubu / Rocket from the Tombs frontman David Thomas on stage for the legendary "David Thomas & The Lost Planets" performance.  Andler has performed as a drummer and toured/recorded with more than 30 other groups since the early 80's, including bands featuring notable singers such as Youth Brigade's Shawn Stern and, Government Issue mouthpiece John "Stabb" Schroeder.  He co-founded and performed with Octopus from 1992 to 1996, along with future Landspeedrecord! frontman Charley Jamison, and from 1998 to 2002 performed & recorded with National Razor, F.D.I.C. as well as produced their recordings.

Pete Ross plays bass for the critically acclaimed punk band The Fuses .  In addition to his role in the bar brawl that contributed to G.G. Allin's death, Ross is a historian of 18th, 19th, and early 20th century American ethnic/roots folk music and is considered the world's most knowledgeable authority on post-civil war era gourd banjos.  He makes authentic replicas of these historic instruments under the name Jubilee Gourd Banjos (www.banjopete.com).

Multi-instrumentalist Rob Girardi (Cicaeda, The Uniform, TV Hill) completes the line-up on guitar and effects wizardry.  Girardi handled lead guitar duties and sang backup for the David Thomas & The Lost Planets performance, and is among the nation's best live & studio sound engineers.  He recently completed a tour of the UK playing guitar with Caruso and is currently mixing an upcoming album he recorded for The Fuses, along with a variety of other ongoing studio projects.
