Figure Bio

Figure has recorded and released many albums and has toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe, solo, with previous groups or with others. In his own words:

"My old group The Oblivion Ensemble had an album out on Dan Burke's (Illusion Of Safety) Complacency Records(distributed by Caroline) and a release on the famous (or infamous) German 7 inch label Drone Records. This was a really intense group made up of myself, John Bergstrom and Brannon Hungness, plus whoever we may have been working with at the time. There will someday be released the ultimate headphone album called "SculpturE:".

I was the guitarist for Hammerhead (on the Amphetamine Reptile label dist. by Atlantic), a replacement to the original guitarist and i quickly found that joining someone else's band wasn't going to work for me, although i was a fan of their's and they had painstakingly tracked me down due to a story about me doing crazy things to a guitar with a bag of potato chips.

I was once a member of Glenn Branca's Ensemble and have also played with ex-Swans drummer Virgil Moorefield. Elliott Sharp plays clarinet on my album "My Spine Is The Bow That Breaks". I've done some music for choreographer Eun-Me Ahn. And I've done shows with Zeena Parkins, Phillip Glass, Ben Neil and many others."

Figure's new and most personal band is called Kill Myself On Monday and the first album, Hit was released at the beginning of 2003.
