Shimo & Hono

VINYL FORMAT. PINK VINYL. LIMITED EDITION. Atropa is Scott Shellhammer, a self-declared asshole suffering from a hernia operation and bitter about being burdened with two overpriced computers and a Mazda Miata after the end of his dotcom stint as a graphic artist. He's an unusual electronic musician - his background reflects the significant impact his drumming career has had in indie and punk rock circles with his involvement in the ex-Joan of Arc/Cap'n Jazz super group Ghost N' Vodka and his former role in punk luminaries Tetsuo. Currently, he's playing guitar for the indie-rock/metal noise band American Heritage, who just toured Europe with fellow Chicagoans Haymarket Riot. So it makes you wonder what the hell this kid is doing sitting at a computer making brilliant electronic music, with a pair of shitty Dell speakers to boot. But thats the deal... $10 speakers are his thing, his way of saying "I'm just going to do this and fuck it."
