Powerhouse Sound formed in the summer of 2005, originally with Lasse Marhaug on electronics and Paal Nilssen-Love on drums. 
Ken Vandermark wrote all the compositions with the idea of building the music from the perspective of the bass instead of 
the more conventional approach of composition construction, "from the top down", as he puts it. "The three major influences 
I considered when putting the music together were the rhythmic ideas of James Brown, the dub ideas of Lee Perry and the 
collage ideas of Public Enemy."

The new line up, made of 2 Tortoise members Jeff Parker (guitar, electronics) and John Herndon (drums) and completed with 
Nate McBride (electric bass, effects), continues to work from these original concepts developed at the band's start. 
However, with the obvious shifts in personnel and differences in instrumentation, Powerhouse Sound is undoubtedly here 
to test any and all genre "qualifiers" used within the independent music industry today.
