Anyone who has seen Drum Machine will know our sound, look and vibe are quite unmistakable. 

For me, seeing Drum Machine for the first time, it felt like a soundtrack to a new beginning after the end of the world. 

 

Primal, crazy, but joyous 

I had never heard a sound like it 

Live drummers all moving together 

Like something out of a mad max rave scene 

Some smiley, some mean. 

All drums 

Only drums 

Formation like a samba band but not samba 

Their own genre 

So funky and so tight

 

I couldn't work out where the sound was coming from 

Or who was playing what. 

Or whether they had real jobs. 

Or whether this  was their job 

Were they even human? 

They were so very cool.  

 

I hadn't danced that hard for a long time
