Chicago’s Loto Ball Show is the brainchild of its namesake and lead singer, former Phantom Limbs vocalist Loto Ball. Fusing doomsday dissonance with stellar musicianship and raw energy, Loto Ball Show captures the disorientation of today’s youth

The guitar bends to the breaking point. Drums pump. Drums crack. Synthesizer samples crisp & crackle. One voice howls, the other coos. A sea of bass over a lake of pedals. Here is some really nerdy dirty Jazz p...unk. hmm..or is it vintage garage pop? psychedelic world music?,, synth fractured dance beats. Pretty? yes. Ugly? yes.
Mattress (Portland)
Website
Heavy Duty By Josiah Hughes/Exclaim Magazine (Canada) Portland's Mattress centres on the claustrophobic bedroom soul of weirdo Rex Marshall and his synthesiser. But on Heavy Duty, his debut full-length for Edmonton's Reluctant Recordings, his minimal, dark electro beats take a backseat to his sinister songwriting.
Loto Ball Show
Website
Loto Ball is best known for his work singing and performing for San Francisco Bay Area death-punk band The Phantom Limbs. During his time with The Phantom Limbs (in which he was sometimes known as “Hopeless”), Loto Ball’s visceral expression of existential distress laced with black comedy, along with the hyper-charged and unusual compositions of keyboardist Stevenson Sedgwick helped earn his band the honor of No. 1 Indie Rock Band in San Francisco (S.F. Bay Guardian – Best of the Bay awards 2003) and the chance to record two albums with Jello Biafra’s Alternative Tentacles record label. After 5 years and 220 performances with The Phantom Limbs, including 3 U.S. tours and 2 European tours, Loto Ball left the band in 2005 to move to Chicago and pursue other ventures. Loto Ball has spent his time in Chicago working with local artists on various projects, including founding an art gallery/music venue (Reversible Eye), collaborating on a 800 foot public mural (Bloomingdale Trail), personal masseuse for Mayor Richard Daley, performing with puppets (Scary Toesies), working as an activist for disability rights and quality of life issues, as well playing trumpet for a 30-person marching band (Mucca Pazza).
