Originally started as a live electronic beat band by Mike Boo,Alex “Pu22l3” Abalos,& Asonic Garcia, the band organically transformed into a bay area Voltron when joined with the amazing musicianship and likeminded experimentation of saxophonist Marcus Stephens, and drummer Mike Reed. This formed the Secret Sidewalk Quintet which has been hitting venues from the Bay to LA with their own brand of avant garde,organic electronic “dirt wave” music, weaving compositions with improvisation until it all becomes a seamless big and LOUD free form vibrational set.A SSW Quintet album is in the works, as well as solo and side collab projects to follow. Expect much audio and visual to come from this budding collective.
