INSTAGON started in concept on Feb. 2 1993 in Fullerton, CA as a project started by members of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) at the TOPY Access point called BABYLON. (www.topy.net)... the core member of this project was LOB, a.k.a. Coyote 139, a.k.a. Thee Lamb Ov Instagon, a.k.a. Thee Mystic Master ov Space & Time... and thus far, remains to be such.
INSTAGON invokes that subtle confusion of the unknown... you really dont have any idea what sort of performnace you are about to see when you go to see INSTAGON perform live (which by the way, if you missed it, is bascily ALL that Instagon does is perform LIVE.. studio happenings are very very rare).. you may see a BAND play, with other people you recognize IN the band... you may see a noise performance, you may experince accapella sound interaction... you may see people hitting metal with other pieces of metal... you might hear grunts, screams, kazoo's, saxophones, drums, guitars, keyboards, theremins, juice harps, [enter other instrument here], but you for sure will hear the rumbling bass guitar ov Thee Lamb ov Instagon, LOB.
