More About Promonium Jesters
 Operating out of the wastelands of Southern Ontario, Promonium Jesters play psychedelic industrial thrash music, incorporating elements of metal, noise, ambient, trance, and digital hardcore with a heavy emphasis on experimentation.

Promonium Jesters were formed by Ethan Moseley and Greg Cox in 1995 in Uxbridge, Ontario, Canada. Since that time the band has recorded and released 11 albums through their own label, P in a Circle Records.

The band has been performing live around the Toronto area since 1996, but it wasn’t until the release of Your Face in 2007 that Promonium Jesters embarked on their first cross Canada tour. This was followed by another cross Canada tour in May 2008 to promote Psychic Warfare, with Thunder Bay’s own Adaptive Reaction as a supporting act.

A Promonium Jesters performance is a multimedia event, as the band utilizes a custom built home made light show, as well as a multiple video projector set up show videos made by the band. To date, Promonium Jesters have shared the stage with a diverse range of performers such as Left Spine Down, Cyanotic, The Kettle Black, and Merzbow.

Promonium Jesters have recently released a split 7" with Adaptive Reaction. Both bands are currently booking a cross Canada tour to take place in September/October 2009, that will coincide with the release of the next Promonium Jesters full length album.
 

En Esch http://www.myspace.com/enesch

 En Esch, a.k.a. Klaus Schandelmaier, is a contemporary musician and has been a member of the bands KMFDM, Pigface, and Slick Idiot.
History

En Esch, born near Frankfurt, is a studied orchestra percussionist, drummer, programmer, producer, guitarist and singer. He was a member of the German industrial rock group, KMFDM, from 1985 to 1999, during which time he contributed to ten studio albums and more than a dozen singles as musician, composer and producer.

Sascha Konietzko claims to have given Esch his nickname because the latter felt that his real name was inappropriate for the stage. It is derived from the German pronunciation of the first sounds in his name. Esch lived in Germany until 1992, when he moved to Chicago to join Konietzko, who had moved there a year earlier.

It was at this time that Esch first worked with Pigface, whom he also toured with in the early 1990s. He released a solo album, Cheesy, in 1993. A few years after that, Esch moved to New Orleans.

When KMFDM temporarily broke up in 1999, Esch briefly worked with the band Pizza Whore, which changed its name to Barely Legal, and included Trixie Reiss of The Crystal Method. The band didn't last, and Esch began traveling to Canada to visit Günter Schulz, the former KMFDM guitarist. They formed Slick Idiot, and released their first album in 2001. They have released two more albums under that moniker since then.

 Günter Schulz http://www.schulzmusic.com/home.htm

Günter Schulz (or Guenter Schulz) is a German-born guitarist formerly of the band KMFDM. His first credited appearance (as Svetlana Ambrosius, or Svet Am) was on the band's Naïve album (1990). He continued using that stage name until 1995's Nihil. Schulz displayed an impressive mastery of speed metal guitar skills and co-wrote many of KMFDM's songs from the 1990s. He also wrote and performed in various KMFDM side projects, including two albums with Sascha Konietzko's Excessive Force and a solo album by En Esch. He currently resides near Vancouver, British Columbia.

In early manifestations of the KMFDM web site, Schulz maintained a section called "Günter's Guitar Garage." Among other things, he used the space to encourage amateur guitarists to learn formal notation as opposed to tablature.

After KMFDM disbanded in 1999, Schulz and Esch recorded a few songs for tribute albums and then formed Slick Idiot, a band featuring Schulz's trademark guitar and Esch's vocal stylings. The band has, as of 2010, released three studio albums and two remix albums. KMFDM reformed in 2001, though Schulz and Esch rejected Konietzko's offer to return to the fold.[1]

Schulz is interested in photography and took many of the band portraits that appear in KMFDM and Slick Idiot liner notes. Concert attendees also observed Schulz taking pictures of the crowd during KMFDM's Symbols tour (1997). These photos became the material for the video "In Your Face". Samples of his work can be found at Guenter Schulz Photography

Guenter also travelled to Ghana as part of the crew for "So Good, So Far: the Way Forward". He took photographs for the film and documented the trip through his photographic prowess.

In 2005, Schulz announced the formation of a self-titled solo project, Schulz.[2] He was part of PIG's touring line-up in the summer of 2006, thus reuniting with fellow KMFDM alum Raymond Watts.[3]

He is a good friend with the members of Rammstein.

Guenter is also an active producer/engineer. He has worked with many groups, primarily Cold Driven.

 Mona Mur http://www.monamur.net/

MONA MUR, extravagant vocalist, composer and sound designer, has gained her reputation in the international avantgarde scene collaborating with artists such as "Einstürzende Neubauten", "The Stranglers", "Yello" and the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra.

In the '82 punk explosion she hooked up with FM Einheit, Marc Chung and Alexander Hacke, straight away conquering London NEW MUSICAL EXPRESS's Single of the Week slot with the 12'' "Jeszcze Polska". Featuring a violently orchestral sound of darkest shades, their concerts in manic intensity and morbid slowbeat chic were foundation stones for her cult image until today.

Mur, also a successful martial artist and former German Vice Champion in Taekwon Do, is one of the few german singers creating her own dark, mysterious, aggressive but at the same time beautiful musical world exploring the fields of electronic industrial, wave, postpunk and a hefty german chanson "cabaret" tradition à la Brecht/Weill.

In 1990 Mona Mur and Yello's Dieter Meier hired the Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra and Polish rockstar/producer Grzegorz Ciechowski for the Album WARSAW. The concept album was unreleased at the time, but four of the songs were later covered by polish singer Katarzyna Groniec. Her album "Mesczysny" (SONY Poland 2000) entered the national charts, the Mona Mur song "Paintings" became a hit single selling more than 70,000 copies.

In 1999 Mona Mur joined the Computer Games Industry as Lead Audio Artist and composer for software developer TERRATOLS, Potsdam-Babelsberg. Her unique style of eerie, haunting and phantastic electronic music and Sound FX can be found in Games such as "BALLANCE" (ATARI USA/Japan 2006, awarded "Seal of Excellence" in Adrenaline Vault) or VELVET ASSASSIN (Replaystudios/GAMECOCK MEDIA 2008). GamersHell called the music "Emotional Industrial" and previewed the ultradark neo-expressionist tracks as "pieces of relentless brutality and insidious beauty."

Director Fatih Akin chose three of her tracks for his worldwide awarded movie "Head On/Gegen die Wand" (Berlin Golden Bear 2004, European Film Award 2004).

Today, Mona Mur is also back to singing and performing. Her CD-compilation "Into Your Eye" (DARK DIMENSIONS), a retrospective collection of her more than 20 years of work, not only contains the typical 80s punk wave elements of her music and some of the orchestrated WARSAW-tracks but also new dark wave songs written and produced with Christian St. Claire.

2009 saw the release of the album MONA MUR & EN ESCH "120 Days - The Fine Art of Beauty and Violence" (PALE MUSIC INTERNATIONAL 02/2009), a collaboration with EN ESCH, known as charismatic frontman of the US/german industrial rockband KMFDM. The accomplished producer has drastically transformed Mur's most intense 80s Songs into a unique blend of electronic drum loops, bass, dirty organ and wild guitars.
