Founded in late 2000 and consisting of various rejected musicians fed up
with performing 'songs' - Castings began almost completely focused on
improvisation without a frame or destination. Week after week we met to work
on the conclusions and a sound just presented itself (sans ego). Early Cab
Volt, Dead C, This Heat, AMM - these groups sparked ideas and confirmed our
belief in the music we produced.
June 2004 we hand out "Electro Disco Weirdo" to friends (a compilation of
recent recordings) and through word-of-mouth secure a release for it on US
label Tiny Philanthropist.
Our music doesn't have title, it's five people in a room attempting to
communicate with each other - and hopefully others too....an ode to mistakes
that often turn good.
