AGAMEMNON
/ Guitars - DOUG THOMS - While
performing a Gershwin show in America's heartland, Doug was inspired
to write ELEKTRAFIRE. Years of rock bands, arts
journalism, and more traditional theater roles preceeded his playwrighting
foray. A veteran performer of the percussion sensation STOMP
and many other productions, Doug now creates his own rock-oriented
stage theatrics.
Many thanks to all these creative and generous artists for
their involvement.

thanks to the

DRUMS
- CASUAL-T - Despite
his handsome exterior and dashing good looks, Casual-T is an unpretentious,
hilariously humorous, utterly witty, and, believe it or not, quite
accessible guy. A hard worker when it comes to making music, either
as a drummer in the studio or on stage, or as a producer in his
very own studio, he's constantly formulating musical ideas that
are relentlessly funky, super fresh, very unique, and most of all
quite pleasing to the ear hole. He was recently featured as one
of Broadjam.com's best artists in the Hip-Hop category. Keeping
busy all over town, he is currently subbing as a drummer in Broadway's
new hit musical "Spring Awakening" (8 Tony Awards including
Best New Musical). Come fall 2007 he will also be joining the drum
roster for "Chicago," Broadway's longest running revival.
