Stick Men stand out as a notable force in the realm of progressive rock due to their unconventional lineup and vividly creative soundscapes. Comprised of Tony Levin on Chapman Stick, Pat Mastelotto on drums and percussion, and Markus Reuter on touch guitar, the trio brings together seasoned musicians known for their work with legendary acts like King Crimson, among others. Formed in 2007, Stick Men have carved out a distinct niche by blending intricate rhythms with complex melodies, underpinned by a profound mastery of their innovative instruments.
With a discography rich in both studio and live recordings, Stick Men have cultivated a dedicated following in the prog-rock world. Notable releases include "Prog Noir" (2016), an album that showcases their ability to weave dark and atmospheric textures with hard-edged prog rock flair. Complementing their studio efforts, the band often captures the energy and precision of their live performances, as evidenced by “Roppongi - Live in Tokyo 2017,” divided into Show 1 and Show 2 to provide listeners with the full breadth of their dynamic concerts. Their commitment to their live craft is further highlighted in records such as "UMEDA (Live in Osaka 2022)" and "Owari," both offering fans a potent taste of Stick Men's visceral and immersive live experience. With their relentless touring and innovative musical contributions, Stick Men continue to build upon their legacy and push the boundaries of contemporary progressive music.
