Recycled percussion is charging into the Fall of 2005 with a
massive new stage performance which redefines their branded
“Junk Rock” style of power-percussion in an all-out rock show
mega-performance. Known for their ballistically visual show and
mesmerizing muscle-driven drumming, the band of three drum-
mers and spinmaster “DJ Dirty Soul” has created an electrifying
new show at the direction of band founder Justin Spencer.
With a stage set that is punctuated with a massive drum kit, buck-
ets, metal drums and monsterous power tools, the perception of
what could seemingly be interpretated as a novelty stage act is
immediately dismissed by the masterful music that has propelled
them into on of the most in-demand shows touring today.
