Talibam!
Talibam! is a New York duo formed in 2003 by keyboardist Matt Mottel and drummer Kevin Shea. Their music moves between free improvisation, jazz, noise rock and absurdist hip-hop, and the pair have expanded into larger line-ups with guest musicians. Talibam! released Boogie in the Breeze Blocks on ESP-Disk in 2009, with guests including Peter Evans and Jon Irabagon, and the same year recorded The New Nixon Tapes with saxophonist Daniel Carter.
