Awesome Percussion Program

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this information...

Recycled Percussion to perform-
The musical group Recycled Percussion will be performing at Clarion University on Monday, Oct. 29 at 7:30 p.m. in the Gemmell Multi-Purpose Room as part of its Man Vs. Machine Tour. The University Activities Board sponsored concert is free and open to the public.

The New Hampshire based band uses anything and everything to create “junk rock” music. The band plays with plastic buckets, metal tanks, chainsaws, jackhammers and more to create a dynamic mix of hip-hop and rock music.

Founded by former member Justin Spencer, Recycled Percussion started playing throughout New Hampshire at schools and local clubs around the Manchester area. "Our appeal speaks to anyone who loves music and wants to see an insanely rocking show.”

Though Spencer is no longer with the group, the other three members still tour. Ethan Holmes and Greg Kassapis play drums while Jerami Bellafatto (DJ Dirty Soul) mixes hip hop and rock music. The band is now traveling in its third major tour throughout the U.S. and also has released a hit self-titled DVD.

The group has won awards such as “Best Major Performance Group,” which is selected by college students. The group has been featured on the “Today Show” on NBC and often plays during NBA playoff games.
