New York City based Jesse Cohen (keyboards, samples, postiche drums), Andy Craven (drums), Michael Bell-Smith (vocals, percussion, bass, keys), and Tony Plunkett (bass) formed in 2004 as Professor Murder. The quartet mixes synthesizers and percussion-based workouts in a method acting divine by the post-punk bands of the late '70s and early '80s, patch adding a vD of offbeat, cheerful melodies for good bill. The dance orchestra performed extensively and nearly alone in NYC for various years, eventually earning opening slots for !!! and Radio 4. Their debut EP Professor Murder Rides the Subway was released on the Kanine imprint in July of 2006.
