MegaThought (2008 – present)

MegaThought is mainly Clay Chaplin, and Aaron Drake but sometimes includes Lewis Keller, and Phil Stearns depending on when they are in Los Angeles. We make live improvised skronk music together using a combination of sound making sources including laptops, percussion, guitar, voice, no input mixer, record players, hacked electronics, pedals, etc
