Members: Chris Deaner, Karl Lundin

Chris Deaner (New York) and Karl Lundin (Mississippi) met in Austin, TX after playing at a coffee shop in different bands. They both noticed the fact that the other was playing drums better than those bands were. And found more mutuality: They shared a love and fascination for all kinds of rhythmic things way beyond the pop/rock world. Afro and Afro-American grooves as well as the perspectives of pure dance and electronic music (As current faves they would drop Amon Tobin, DAT Politics, Hot Chip, Matmos, Plaid, Kid606, Congo Natty. Oh, and Perfume) After both drummers simultaneously noticed a distinct absence of drumset music in the pop world the musical idea of Loudest Boom Bah Yea was born. They got together in 1999, and kept exploring this loose project, whenever their busy schedules allowed.
