We Are the Music Makers (band)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

We Are the Music Makers is a new prog quartet from Brooklyn, New York founded by Adam Castro and Michael Calabrese in 2005. Their name is derived from a line of the poem "Ode" by Arthur O'Shaughnessy, widely popularized by the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Their music draws from many different genres, including funk, rock, blues, jazz, and metal, making them difficult to accurately categorize. Their initial incarnation was a trio consisting of bass, drums, and guitar. After signing with Texas' Galvatraz Records in 2006 and changing their lineup (replacing their original drummer and adding another guitarist), they released their debut album, Ecumenopolis which consists of two E.P.s. The band toured the US in 2007 with fellow Brooklyn band And This Army.
