Lob of INSTAGON

INSTAGON was started in 1993 as a musical experiment in thee United States, by members ov Thee Temple of Psychick Youth North America (TOPYNA), to becoum counter-part to thee UK TOPY ensamble called Psychick TV (PTV). Shortly there after PTV disbanded and thee networking between thee two groups became fuedal. Members ov thee TOPY North America Access Point called BABYLON ov this era are responsible for thee birth ov thee deamon, Instagon, although artist/creatist LOB tends to be held as the founder or creator ov thee project. At this time Instagon was mostly a NOISE outfit with occasional excursions into tribal percussion. In 1997, Instagon started playing “band” based shows and exploring jazz and chaos theories together..

LOB & thee project called “INSTAGON” have been performing since 1993, in that time Instagon has performed over 825 shows with over 800 different participants IN the band.
(as of Winter 2023)

Instagon uses musical theories ov Jazz and “Jam” music to approach garage rock from a new side..creating something new, very vital and extremely different.. a fusion ov progressive rock, drunge punk, and jamming, interlaced with CHAOS THEORY to create “Garage Jazz”.. Instagon is NEVER THE SAME ENSAMBLE TWICE…thee show is something fresh for thee people ON thee stage, as well as thee audience.. Once a performace ov Instagon has ended it is gone..and can never be repeated.. hence thee name INSTA-GON..

In 2005 Instagon moved from its long time stomping grounds of Orange County in Southern California and relocated to the community of Sacramento in the Northern California region. Instagon continues to play shows and never repeat the same ensemble. In 2006 Instagon started playing more NOISE based performances, returning to the roots and where Instgon came from musically in the early days… but still also playing garage jazz sets as well.. diversity and improvisation always pushing Instagon to new places.. From 2007-2019 the project spent a wonderful time playing the Northern California region, mostly in Sacramento..but other places too.. spending a lot of time creating its own sound with the live “garage jazz” performances and some occasional noise shows too.. playing wiht hundreds of great musicians in the Norcal area.. and then the Pandemic came.

Post pandemic brought new changes to Instagon.. we moved from our long time 2nd home of Sacramento to a new and adventurous location of rural Arizona… Miami , Arizona is where Instagon has been hiding since 2021… slowly coming out of pandemic hibernation and playing shows occasionally as they arrise… being in the rural desert does not bring as many opportunites for regular happenings..but Instagon continues to move forward and morph its own future….
