Jollichimp marks the latest misstep in human evolution, and, as a direct result, the arrival of the semi-twisted thump-o-sounds that naturally occur when things go a bit phenotypically sideways.

Designed, built, and operated principally by The Klown (founder and frontman of the renowned and notorious electro-funk band Gooferman, as well as primatological offspring ZjitZjo, Jolligood Carnival Supply, and TrashKan Marchink Band), Jollichimp uses DARPA-level circus distillate to fuel an ever-changing, hyper-flavored musical gumbo known far and wide as Funhouse Bass — a naughty purée of West Coast bass, global bass, breaks, glitch, drum & bass, rock, soul, house, nu funk, and bass and beats and bops — to intentionally infect human souls with the kind of neolithic wiggle you can only find in, on, and/or around a proper psychonautical trip.

On the visuals front, Jollichimp is actively involved with the latest grand experiments in human- and/or AI-generated art and film, pulling neuro-enhanced graphics in all kinds of misdirections and into performance with the gravity and glamor of a symbiotic, sense-o-matic black hole, for the purposes of both show and tell.

As a variable-klown band, certain unusual rabbits necessarily have to be pulled out of certain unusual hats to achieve The Desired Effect. To that end, Jollichimp’s special-forces operators are the dastardly souls behind the hardware and software midway that serves up Jollichimp’s live show. Largely for you geargeeker types (long live you!) but now available to the public at large (PAL), behold the science+magic mess that may or may not include:

• Ableton Live
• MacBook Pro
• Raven MTi2
• M-Audio AIR 192|8 Audio Interface
• Yamaha DD75AD Portable Digital Drums
• Boss RC-505s
• AeroBand PocketDrum 2 Plus
• Alesis TurboMesh Drum Kit (extended)
• VTech KidiStar DJ Mixer
• Behringer Europower PMP4000 Mixer
• Whole bunch of DMX lights / Movers
• GECKO Maple Leaf U-BASS
• Grote P90 Jazz Guitar
• i8-Pro Digital Wind Instrument
• 3-head Rototom
• and a Patridge in a Gotdam Pear Tree

Behold the hopper fodder, swiped from the bowels of the Jolligood lab, where they’re undergoing semi-supervised steroid treatment as they stumble toward release-level bioluminescence.
