Not too many prog drum and bass two pieces in this world. They just released their second release today. One full length and one EP under their belt so far. Very King Crimson influenced and extremely complex math rock here. These guys are great people and stupendous to see live. :-D |

They might also work in heavy Prog.
But I had trouble deciding. |

So what does anyone think? Math or Heavy?
And not that it helps I discovered this band by going to see a group called Zevious. They melted my feet to my nonexistent beard. Edited by Smurph - July 11 2013 at 06:49 |

Experimental tech metal / jazz / punk fusion drawing comparisons with Hella. I'll alert the Math Team.

I was particularly impressed with the guitarist here. Nice suggestion.
I'll add the albums and such once we get a bio. If you're not feeling the whole Bio thingy Greg, i'll do it. |

I came here to write a bio for Bangladeafy so we can be immortalized in the progarchives. What do I do?

The easiest thing is just to post it right here.
![]() Interestingly there was another thread for Bangladeafy here from about 18 months ago, which pointed to Prog Related as the band's most likely route for entry to the archives. Thankfully that now won't be necessary, since you are cleared for Math Rock...Prog Related ain't the easiest place to get accepted on here to say the least!! ![]() I guess that old thread can be locked, since it is now superfluous.

haha, i don't even know what the f**k we are so math or prog will do just fine/horribly. Here goes:
Jon EHLERS and Atif HAQ had met in late 2006 at an open improv session in Smithtown, NY (to give a background on the caliber of musicians participating in these sessions, Billy RYMER, who later became the drummer of DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN was present). Jon and Atif both had a penchant for playing loud and fast so they immediately clicked and formed THE WOOLGATHERING, a bizarre video game influenced 4 piece band with Jon primarily playing fretless bass. THE WOOLGATHERING inevitably fell apart but Jon and Atif used the opportunity to start fresh and continue pushing their respective limits, thus beginning BANGLADEAFY in late 2009. Rehearsals were held in a sketchy Brooklyn warehouse after work hours. The band name is a portmanteau combining the words Bangladeshi and Deaf, reflecting Atif's Bangladeshi heritage and Jon's sensio-neural hearing loss. BANGLADEAFY's first full length release "This Is Your Brain On Bugs" was released independently in 2011. This release is considered a demo album and has a comedic element throughout. "The Briefcase" EP was released in 2013 on Nefarious Industries and has received positive acclaim across numerous online publications domestically and internationally including Metalsucks.net, Metalinjection.net and Decibel. This release is texturally dense and carries a more serious tone as Jon applied his knowledge of piano and synth modeling to the recording process. Jon can be seen performing synth and bass, sometimes simultaneously, in their live performances. Occasionally, they perform with a trumpet player. In 2013 they toured with CAR BOMB, TORRENTIAL DOWNPOUR and RESOLUTION 15. Jon's bass playing style combines various techniques such as polyharmonic tapping and slapping. Atif's drumming combines his applied knowledge of world music into a louder and faster dynamic. Their shared influences include Zach Hill, Squirrel Nut Zippers, The Doors and Squarepusher. |

btw, this website is pretty dense and awesome. I plan to add a few bands that I was shocked not to see on here like Ebu Gogo.

Excellent bio, welcome to progarchives Bangladeafy!
Also, I hope you stick around and suggest as many bands as possible.

Whoa, a RIO band from Providence? I didn't think my state's music scene had the capacity for experimentation...
I've even been to the venue that their picture is from. Nice little place. I wonder if they're still playing the Providence area. Edited by Andy Webb - January 02 2014 at 19:31 |

That would be the one! Guess I gotta get used to navigating around here. Ebu Gogo is way up there in terms of replay value and general music I go to for inspiration. Too bad they aren't around anymore. The keyboardist, Gavin Castleton, puts out poppy solo stuff which is extremely catchy and well written.
