Burmese

Band,
Alternative, Electronic and Rock

Formed in Iowa City early 1998 by the two bassists, Burmese soon relocated to Oakland California spewing their particular blend of power violence, power electronics, death industrial sludge and high-speed thrashnoise infused with grindcore blasts and much feedback. They expanded their line-up with another drummer in 2002 making it dual-bass & dual-drums. Still in the Bay Area, today they are a six-piece consisting of Mike, Mark, Jay, Tissue, Matt, & Mikey.
