Backbone The Octopus

Backbone The Octopus never met a percussion instrument she didn’t want to play or a creature she didn’t want to meet. As the world’s only known eight armed drummer, she can lay down the groove with considerably greater complexity than the average biped, often sounding more like a one-invertebrate band than a traditional drummer. She is also a very capable singer, with the training and skills to project her voice both above and below the waterline.

Backbone grew up in the Pacific Ocean, but has called just about every ocean of the world her home at some point during the course of her percussive journeys. Why all the travel? Before joining The International Band Of Misunderstood Geniuses, it’s rumored Backbone would often sneak onto land at night in search of new percussion instruments. Over time, she allegedly amassed the greatest collection to grace the ocean floor. It’s tough to pick just a few instruments to take with her on tour, so she returns to visit and play with her waterlogged collection whenever the band’s concert schedule permits it.
