Sally Oldfield Celebration CD

With an album produced by red-hot producer Lamar Lowder (Power-man 5000, Jerk), an onslaught of insanely hyper-active live shows, a striking visual aesthetic resembling b-grade mutant rejects from an unmade X-Men flick, and a dedicated cult following anticipating the band's every move, its no wonder why these shock rockin' freaks are feeling the buzz of excitement you get when you're on the verge of something big.

The core members of the group, Manek Deboto (vocals, programming), Clark Bent (guitar, computers), the Organ Donor (bass) ROM Defect (guitars) and R Rated (drums) have an explosive dynamic and larger than life scope revealed in their current jam of sound, vision and attitude enough to supply the nexus for an alternate reality.

'This reality,' Manek, DITC's demented frontman says, 'is simply the fused wreckage from pop culture mutated into twisted, bizarre forms. "Its something that people are relating to. There's a freak surge rising up from the underground and DITC is a super-magnet for all that it brings. We're gonna externalise the freak streak in people and lead the way for a Mutant Generation." Manek said.

The Humanoid Expansion Pack was produced by Lamar Lowder hot on the heals of working with renowned producer Sean Bevan (NIN, Marilyn Manson), the EP also contains remixs from Craig Sue (Genetic, Killers on the Loose) and J Karsten from Finland shock pop band Vanity Beach.

'The way we play, we can't duplicate (a song) every single time,' said Tyler Walker (guitar/vocals). 'A lot of it is noise-driven, with a lot of feedback and weird distortion.

'Walker said it's one of several reasons why the band spent six months recording the nine songs on their self-titled album. The album, with was completed in August, was recorded at Slack Studios and produced by Brian Bourque. Walker said he and drummer Matt Daigle created I Am Sparticus in 2004. He said first they played with several local musicians.

When asked about the name, Daigle said, it comes from a line in the 1996 movie 'That Thing You Do!''It was something the drummer would say in reference to how the band got famous,' he said.

' We misspelled (Sparticus) on purpose.

'Walker said the lineup didn't 'solidify' until Jenny Canaday (bass/vocals) and Porter Thomas (guitar/vocals) joined in 2006. 'I started teaching (Canaday) how to play bass, and Porter has played in a bunch of different local bands,' Walker said.
