The tribal percussion project of Scott Nydegger has performed over the 300 concerts in 26 countries. The project has always existed in a constant state of motion, touring and living in a nomadic way that has come to define it. In 2003, Sikhara began a self-imposed exile in Europe and fortified the line-up with French drummer Yann Geoffriaud most know for his work with the famed French power-violence unit George Bitch Jr. Sikhara also has many sattelite projects, including backing Iggy and the Stooges sax-wielder Steve Mackay and regularly appearing with ex-Can front man Damo Suzuki. They are a core band in The Radon Collective, an international commun-ity of touring experimental artists. Bardos State is Sikhara’s 2nd release recorded on three continents and released by Radon, Soopa and Urck Records. (via Hop-Frog Collective)
