Here's what some folks have been saying about Lumberob and his work:
"Lumberob's performances turn ordinary men into giants. I never leave without feeling that I have survived a gentle emergency. All students of astronomy are made stronger; all customers become people." - Amber Reed & Justin Jamail
"There's LUMBEROB - he's the best band around. He's like Aphex Twin
meets Bobby McFerrin. He's like a one man party in your mouth. In the
mouth of your ear."
-Vernon Chatman & John Lee
"You will say to yourself "How the hell does he do that?" and then you will say "Oh I want to do that too!" and at last you will say "Man on man, there is just no way I could do that, ever." Try and imagine your mouth was your hand, and you could do card tricks with it. Or try and imagine your mouth was your feets and it knew how to time step. Lumberob will flat out rearrange your DNA." -Jeffrey M. Jones
"Lumberob is a terrible witch doctor. You've seen the forest in
which he works his dark sono-linguistic magic, but only from the outside.
Enter its interior, and you will be ecstatically sorry."
- Sibyl Kempson
"Lumberob's music is the most intoxicating and addictive drug available.
All you encountering it for the first time beware! You'll never be able
to get enough. "
- Pavol Liska
"Lumberob's music is the primal explosion underlying every New Yorker's
outer layer of civil neuroticism. It makes you want to give away all your
possessions or gun people down in the street, depending on your mood that
day. "- Zachary Oberzan
Off the Hozzle: One mic. two pedals. two feet. it's a vocal show
: loud, soft, fast,
and slow. lumberob is part dub clown, part broken down - an experiment
in layers and loops. Off the Hozzle is a rare long format lumberob
show, a new piece of properly built bumpy grinder beatbox and fairly
advanced golf swing theory. lumberob hopes to sock your knocks off!
Recent graduate of the MFA playwriting program at Brooklyn College,
Rob Erickson is a musician and a writer. He has been developing
the
Lumberob show for over eight years now as a solo artist and in
collaboration with Jad Fair, Kevin Blechdom, 1/2 Japanese, Adult
Rodeo, and most recently the Nature Theater Of Oklahoma. Rob is a new
member of Joyce Cho and the proud father of Tallulah.
