187Calm

Band,
Rock
A.k.a. Mike Bruce, Ted Kamp, Jodi Durst

187Calm was based in the San Francisco Bay Area, and became known for their smokey, claustrophobically atomospheric sound that conjured up images of endless, solitary cocaine and alcohol-fueled late nights spent in cheap motel rooms watching black and white television and feeling your grip on sanity slowly loosen into a kaleidoscope of neon glow, darkness, and cigarette smoke. Their CDs were great, but they were a legendary live band that had the ability to gently bend the collective consciousness of an audience at will, and pull everyone into vocalist/guitarist Mike Bruce's dystopian psychic landscape - a landscape so bizarre and disengaged that Kafka would've felt at home there. Bassist Jodi Durst could rattle smoke molecules with her serpentine groove and a low-end hum that would make your skin crawl, while Drummer Ted Kamp would keep a beat as inevitable and unforgiving as the march of time. The departure of 187Calm was as mysterious as their music, but, of course, you wouldn't want it any other way.
