MAKKIWHIPDIES

Makkiwhipdies biography
MAKKIWHIPDIES was an experimental rock group formed by keyboardist and guitarist David COSGROVE. Up to this date, COSGROVE is still working in the domain of electronic rock music released under his name but with this band in the early 90's he surrounded himself with members known only by their nicknames to release a very unique record. 'His Name Is NNNNNN' could be described as an comic record similar to ZAPPA's albums with a less than obvious but possible concept floating throughout. The mostly instrumental album has catchy melodies and is inspired somewhat by classic symphonic rock but the wild execution of it can sometimes place it in a weird place between progressive rock of GENESIS and a mash up of snippets of radio jingles by the likes of THE RESIDENTS. A highly unique record, this album released in 1996 is the only one made by this line-up under this name but COSGROVE is still an active musician and he even made his most recent album 'Space Toucan' in 2012.
