about the 4 0 0 B O Y S
************************************
the 400 boys bring together the sound design and compositional influence
of
asl with the space rock twee driven guitar genius of jonathan wong.
his ebay
purchased ultimate reverb unit and special tuning method round out the
harshness
of voidcore and the real-time nature of the instrument incorporates the
imprecision
and spontaneity that bring life to live music.
the mission of the 400 boys is to allow their listeners to succumb to their
own
desire for internal peace by creating soothing seas of sound to rock them
gently
into submission.
this is music for the loner, the marginalized, the intoxicated.

PERFORMANCE
400 boys made their debut in the 2003
APAture arts festival. though the actual performance didn't necessarily
meet the performers' standards, the audience seemed to like it much more
than we expected. soon we'll have available a d.i.y. single of the recorded version of the piece (pending). as of now, there are two files of different bitrates showcasing the performance in mp3 format. follow the link below.
