Instagon began its never ending interaction with chaos in the start of 1993 in Orange County, CA. In 2005 it moved to Sacramento,CA and currently still dwells there. Instagon is an experience for the band and the audience simultaneously. With Lob playing the lead bass guitar at the foundation of the group, Instagon never repeats the same ensemble. No practice, no rehearsal, live improvisational riff riding ..Garage Jazz.. taking a garage band, and playing jazz idea structures..never the same group twice, always fresh and in the moment, once it happens its gone.. hence Instagon.


First there was the Electric Light then The Talking Machine. Now witness The Skatchbox; a new musical invention by Thomas Skatchit.
Built out of cardboard boxes and played with combs, this recession era wonder conjures up sounds previously unknown to man. The mere sweep of the comb across the box creates a new universe of sound reminiscent of wind, the seashore, trees rustling, birds singing, frogs croaking and other magical sounds.
While on a visit to his workshop cousin David picked up the combs and began to play. Thomas sat in amazement at this first performance on his new invention. And so T.D. Skatchit was formed to spread the Skatch throughout the land performing with other traveling minstrels at carnivals and sideshows or wherever people would listen.
"I want to see a Skatchbox in every American home."
- Thomas Skatchit
