DESCRIPTION:
Since initiated in 2004 by perfomance artist/drummer Xtevion, Schizopolitans have been Reno, Nevada's premier Avant-Rock combo. Schizopolitans create a dense aural landscape that is often epic in scope. The material feels like short film soundtracks that transport the listener into unknown territories. Schizopolitans make movies in your mind.

Most bands play music... Over the years there have been many incarnations, but Xtevion and his voice remain the driving force that remains constant. Xtevion's classical theater background informs an exciting and slightly dangerous persona that adds to the mysterious nature of the music. In 2006 Xtevion created his own electronic percussion instrument "the Big Black Stick"which adds another striking visual and sonic element to the performances.

Most of the material is created from recorded improvisations and often maintains the feeling of discovery found in the initial inspirations. What do the songs mean? Why is there a song? Is it a song? These questions are left up to the spectator.

Recorded live at Studio On 4th in Reno December 9 2016
