It started with a dream, a passion, and a Craigslist add. An up-and-coming dance/rock group formed October of 2010, The Modern Golem is the culmination of four young musicians' desire to make music. Reed Schackmann, Jesse Braeuninger, Monte Simard, and Zac Alden came together from vastly different backgrounds to create a unique sound that reflects their eclectic musical tastes. Slowly gaining popularity in the Portland music scene since their initial EP release "GSRS SNGL" on November 2, 2012, TMG finds its inspiration from absurdity - manifesting itself through their visually abstract artwork and fantasy-based storytelling. TMG is hard-hitting but soulful, adding a modern electro-funk twist to a classic rock feel that creates a distinct sound. The Modern Golem will surely get your foot tapping as they submerge you in a musical cocktail comprised of one part Wild West and two parts space odyssey, shaken with a splash of sea shanty, and garnished with a robot cherry.
