enablers
All four members of San Francisco's Enablers are journeyman artists in their own right. On guitar and behind the mixing board is Joe Goldring; he has collaborated with Swans, Toiling Midgets, and Doug Scharin of June of '44 under the monkier Out In Worship. He has also worked on Neurosis' Steve Von Till's side-projects.
Kevin Thompson is a veteran of Timco and Nice Strong Arm and has been playing and touring for twenty years as well as working on his own projects. He has been a writing partner of Goldring for ten of those years, collaborating on Morning Champ, Touched by a Janitor and now Enablers.
Yuma Joe Byrnes features on drums and has lent his unique take on the trapset to Tarnation, Broken Horse and others. Pete Simonelli has been continually writing and publishing his efforts in underground literary journals for many years. He now brings his unique writing style to the table for Enablers. Backed by what Beth Lisik of the San Francisco Gate calls "possibly the world's best power trio", Pete's words take on new dimensions. With neither wasted words nor notes, the songs are a rich source of styles and collaborations.
