Modern Trash Quartet
About Modern Trash Quartet from Christchurch
Formed in July 2008.. by the infamous Zimm Roberts, and equally unfamous Eurarde Borgwah, the Modern Trash Quartet strive to encompass everything that is, was and never will be in modern musical expression.. or failing that, at least play some concrete folk tunes aided by multimedia film and video imagery at a venue near you.. Zimm Roberts (Zimm Roberts, Hammer of Folk) brings a depth of cheese and angst that is almost unfathomable to so many, while Borgwah (Burning Monks, Hound, Sudden Tan Air Hostesses) attempts to help serve this Roquefort with a range of nifty soul searchers care of his off the shelf and home modified guitar ensemble.... Origionally, the duo was aiming to eventually evolve into a full quartet... although they have instead substituted permanent third and fourth members for a lap top computer (byron) to reduce travel overheads, APRAH payment squabbles, and to increase their respective share of the free nacho and bar tab offered to performing bands at the local Wunderbar.. For both artists, the band serves as a mechanism to portray the music of both individuals back catalogs in a slightly different light.. as well as act as a conduit for new individual and co-authored material. Additionally, the multimedia aspect of the duo's live performance serves as a vehicle for furthering the film making interests of both players.
