Diminished Men are an instrumental group formed by guitarist Steve Schmitt, drummer Dave Abramson (Master Musicians of Bukkake, Secret Chiefs 3, Eyvind Kang, Climax Golden Twins, Chris Brokaw, Grails) and bassist Simon Henneman (WAH, Wayne Horvitz). Distorted through a shattered lens, they refocus elements of experimental rock, sci-fi psychedelia, post-punk, gritty film soundtracks, musique concrète and avant-surf into something entirely unique. Since 2005 the band has been crafting their jagged, hard-charging approach and cinema obscura ethos, but it was their multiple LP releases on the Sun City Girls label, Abduction Records, that got the band wider recognition for their creative and distinctive sound. Diminished Men have cemented their status as formidable figures, developing a dedicated audience of audiophiles who found themselves entranced by Diminished Men’s high energy live performances. Their latest release, “DAMAGE MÉCANIQUE,” released through 2182 Recording Company, showcases Diminished Men as masters of their subgenre. They have shared the stage with Pere Ubu, Chrome, Los Dug Dug's, Secret Chiefs 3, Baba Commandant, Alan Bishop, Helen Money, Chris Forsyth, etc.
