"This Mistress, come out to play-i-ay!"

After a long trip back from Long Pine Run Dam and a brawl with the Baseball Furies, This Mistress pose for a photo.

Shot near Orange Street in Shippensburg, PA in early 1988, this photo features the original line up of This Mistress (from L to R) Matt "Scrap Pap" Skirpan, Matt Norcross, Brad Shaeffer, Tim Harrell, Scott McConnell, and Kevin "Bart the Fart" Wilson.

Long lost This Mistress photo found!

This long lost This Mistress photo was uncovered while sifting through a stack of negatives.  The question remains, "Should it have remained lost?"

This photo was taken at Long Pine Run Dam in Chambersburg, PA in early 1988 and features the original line up of This Mistress (from L to R) Tim Harrell, Kevin "Bart the Fart" Wilson, Matt "Scrap Pap" Skirpan, Matt Norcross, Brad Shaeffer, and Scott McConnell.

Ttam Troll Caught In The Act!

I'm caught channeling the spirit of Patrick Moraz with my one note Korg MS-10 (top keyboard) shenanigans in this short video clip from FFS II Synth Jam 2010 on 02/20/10. Ashamed at what I had done, I couldn't contain a small smirk which admitted my guilt. Watch closely though or you'll miss it.

Obomatic - Live @ The Trocadero (2000)

As we were beginning recording sessions at Floating Fish Studios on the Obomatic - Holy Uncontrollio!!! CD, we took time out to headline a show at The Trocadero on 07/15/00 in Philadelphia, PA. Being Philly's premier live concert theatre venue, it was a show that we couldn't pass up. We had only been performing live for a few months but had already established a loyal fan base. This was due in part to our reputation as an electronic supergroup comprised of members from Punch Drunk and Any Questions? as well as the staunch support we received from a local promoter, DJ Octopussy.

This show features the original live infiltration Obomatic unit which consisted of Steve O - Vocals, Troll IO - Synthesizers, Scottologic - Synthesizers, and Timmotronic - Electronic Percussion. It was also our most elaborate stage show to date. The high intensity RoboScan light show helped to mesmerize the audience as we pummeled them with a set of dope-adelic hiptronica and jacked up rap-alistic techno-disturbia.

Special thanks to Steve "Awesome" Olsen for videotaping this performance for us. Unfortunately, the excessive volume from the PA system was too much for his set up to capture so the audio is distorted.

FFS II Synth Jam 2010 Raw Video

This raw unedited video footage is taken from FFS II Synth Jam 2010 which was held on 02/20/10. The ensemble gathered included Tim Harrell (aka LTJTHC), Dave Chandler (aka Thee Sub One Genius), M Scott McConnell (aka MC2P4), Stephen Saputelli (aka Steve O), and Matt Norcross (aka Ttam Troll).

As you'll see in the video, though the music may sound "serious", we certainly were not. This improv is titled TR-6.
