The Royal House of Choke Trailer
THE ROYAL HOUSE OF CHOKEManchester drummers come together for improvised beat congregation An interesting new project has surfaced in Manchester. The House of Choke is the name given to a performance that took place on February 27 of this year, in which 20 drummers (from different bands/backgrounds/levels of skill) came together and performed an improvised jam. The group included friends as well as people who had never met before, and there was no prior rehearsal. What happened was a form of chaos that became channelled into one big ol’ rhythmic thunderclap! The Royal House of Choke project is an experiment that is about to turn into a short film, full release across CD and Vinyl, live tour and website. It’s getting support from the always excellent Audacious Art Experiment, so keep checking their site for more news. Although it all looks like a pale, skinny, plaid-shirted imitation of Boadrum, it’s ace to see people getting together and ripping out the jams. And check out that video! Looks like helluva ride. More news when we get it.

I would very much like to start some colaberative projects like this in Falmouth. Infact, I’m going to get in contact with the Poly now.
